The Books of Harun Yahya
NEW
The Knights of the Temple—or Templars, for short—an organization that arose in the Middle Ages, but whose activities and supporters changed over the course of time. The Knights Templar first emerged after the First Crusade, rapidly adopted a political identity and became one of the greatest financial powers of the ages.
Initially portraying themselves as devout, they made use of the prestige and esteem they thus acquired. But statements from the Templar trials that began in 1327 revealed the organization’s true face: Shortly after its formation, it had adopted a form of satanic teaching and also acquired one of the greatest fortunes in Europe.
How did the Templars amass this financial power? How vast was their wealth? And now, who controls that sinister fortune they amassed, and to what ends is it being used?
To answer these questions, this book reconsiders the Knights Templars—whose history was dealt with in our earlier book on the subject—and their successors, the Freemasons, and shows how the Templars continue to be financed by illicit funds.

THE CAMBRIAN EVIDENCE THAT DARWIN FAILED TO COMPREHEND
NEW
In the light of recent scientific discoveries, the theory of evolution is in a state of utter collapse. But just one event that Darwinists are unable to explain demolishes the very foundations of their theory—the variety and complexity of life all over the world, exhibited with such magnificence, some 530 million years ago, now known as the Cambrian Explosion. In an environment where only single-celled organisms existed before, large numbers of highly complex living species suddenly came into being, with no trace of any supposed forerunners, as if to firmly refute the invalidity of the theory of evolution.
So persuasive is the fossil record, and so dramatic this phenomenon from a scientific viewpoint, that scientists refer to the Cambrian Explosion as “the Biological Big Bang.” They continue to search for as yet undiscovered pre-Cambrian fossils that might be the ancestors of these startling life forms. Yet all their efforts keep pointing to one single explanation: A sudden, flawless, widely differing and complex creation.
This book has compiled details of this incomparable era, and its compelling evidence that refutes the theory of evolution.

Most people know that idolatry is a grave sin, but never think that it could have anything to do with them. They imagine that idolaters, defined as those who ascribe equals to Allah, are merely people who worship totems carved out of stone or wood, like the primitive pre-Islamic Arab pagans who worshipped idols in the Ka`bah. However, idolatry is far more subtle and is actually widespread in many societies today.
In reality, idolatry comprises everything that people set up as a goal that does not involve seeking Allah’s approval, in who or which they place their hopes or desire for approval, or every entity regarded as possessing true power and control other than Allah. Given the subtlety of this definition, idolatry needs to be considered as something
that may be very close at hand.
Ascribing equals to Allah is a most dangerous sin, one that cannot be forgiven and therefore will lead people to Hell. Thus, those who fear and respect Allah and hope for His Paradise must be on their guard against this threat. But people cannot do this if they do not know what idolatry is and what things fall under its scope.
This book has been written to illustrate how idolatry, as set out in the Qur’an, exists in contemporary society. We hope that it will achieve this aim, help people renounce all of their idols, and turn sincerely to and serve only Almighty Allah, the true Creator of all things.

It is Almighty Allah Who created all people out of nothing, Who created all of the beauty that surrounds them and all of the blessings of which they are aware or unaware. He constantly renews each of these blessings and creates the astonishing details in each one. This is Allah’s art of detail.
With His unbounded knowledge, Allah created systems that human beings cannot comprehend because they have not yet discovered their details. Inside each detail are even more delicate beauties that reveal His Greatness and Might. If He willed, He could dispose of them all. Our duty is to thank Him for these unconditional blessings, know that we need Him, and turn only to Him.
This book seeks to remind people of this important truth, which He revealed in the Qur’an.

PHOTOSYNTHESIS: THE GREEN MIRACLE
Plants have an indispensable place in human life. With more than 500,000 species and an even greater number of varieties and hybrids, plants are a limitless resource placed at mankind’s disposal by Allah. They are the source of the fresh air we breathe, the food we consume to survive, and much of the energy we use. Plants are also the source of strikingly beautiful views, delightful scents and stunning colors.
Plants’ special photosynthetic factories turn light into food, constantly give off oxygen, cleanse the air and ensure ecological equilibrium. Their aesthetic features such as taste, scent and color, which appeal mainly to human beings, were created by Allah, and reveal His infinite knowledge, artistry, and compassion and affection for human beings. By examining photosynthesis, the characteristic feature of plants, this book will demonstrate the miracles that Allah performs in these living things.

A great many details we hardly think about are the products of engineering-designs and technology that have emerged after years of research, experience, and hard work by well-trained individuals.
For example, the refrigerator that keeps your food from spoiling was designed by engineers, as were your television, music set, elevator, watch, car and computer. All industrial machinery, satellites, spacecraft, and military technology are the products of engineering, representing the work and brainpower of a great many people.
Just like these designs that make our lives easier, there are countless designs in the bodies of living things that make their lives possible at all: perfectly functioning wings, cells that work like miniaturized chemical laboratories, infra-red-sensitive eyes that let their owners see in the dark, thick skin that can withstand heavy blows and harsh climactic conditions, and suckers that make it possible to walk on smooth surfaces- to name but a few.
When we compare such perfect designs in living things to the artificial designs that they often inspired, a striking parallel emerges: almost all the products of man's technology are no more than imitations of those in nature; and usually, they fail to match the superior design in living things, which are the work of Almighty God.

PORTENTS AND FEATURES OF THE MAHDI’S COMING
The hadiths of our Prophet (saas) provide very detailed information and signs about the End Times, which will occur shortly before Doomsday. According to these reports, several highly significant events will take place one after the other during this period. In the first stage of the End Times, terrible corruption and chaos will rule; in the second stage, these will be replaced by peace and security as people come to live by true religious moral values.
Our Prophet (saas) imparted glad tidings regarding the Mahdi, who will be sent during the End Times. For example, this great individual will liberate Muslims from cruelty and suffering; eliminate corruption; and usher in an era of peace, justice, plenty, happiness, and well being. According to reliable hadiths, he will return Islam, which has been distorted via superstitions and practices, to its true essence; meet with Prophet ‘Isa (as); and, by Allah’s will, will enable Islam’s moral values to prevail on Earth.

ALLAH'S MIRACLES IN THE QUR'AN
Fourteen centuries ago, Allah sent down the Qur'an. This book of guidance and wisdom calls man to the truth and instructs all human beings to adhere to the values which this mighty revelation contains. From the day of its revelation to the Day of Judgement, the Qur’an, the last Divine book, will remain as the sole guide for humanity.
The perfection of the literary language of the Qur’an, the incomparable features of its style and the superior wisdom contained within it are some of the definitive proofs that it represents the word of our Lord.
In addition, the Qur'an contains within its words many miracles which prove it to be Allah’s word. One of these attributes is the remarkable number of scientific truths which are contained in it. In this book which was revealed over fourteen centuries ago to Prophet Muhammad (saas), there are innumerable examples of information humanity have only been able to uncover by the technology of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Of course, we should not view the Qur'an as a book of science. However, many scientific facts that are expressed in an extremely concise and profound manner in the verses of the Qur’an have only been discovered by scientists with the aid of the technological advancement of the 20th and 21st centuries. Additional discoveries to these are being made every day. Quite simply, these facts which are now pointed out to the reader could not have been known at the time of the Qur'an's revelation, and this demonstrates that it is the word of Allah.
In addition to the scientific miracles of the Qur’an, this book you are holding also contains examples of reports regarding the past and the future, its perfection from the literary aspect and mathematical miracles in it.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE AHL AL-SUNNAH
The Sunnah is the living interpretation of the Qur'an by Prophet Muhammad (saas), the possessor of great moral values who had such great consideration for believers that he would become distressed when they were troubled and would relieve them of their burdens and chains of bigotry.
The Prophet (saas) is the best role model for all humanity. Believers look at his Sunnah and learn how to implement its precepts and practices in their lives. The Prophet's (saas) entire life reveals a seriousness, responsibility, and sensitivity of which not even the slightest detail is neglected. This is the result of our Prophet (saas) having taught “wisdom,” alongside the Qur'an, to his community.
Islam can only be practiced together with the Sunnah and Muslims can only apply the Qur'an into real life with its help. The Sunnah, on the other hand, is the belief of the Ahl al-Sunnah, which is the totality of our Prophet's (saas) authentic hadiths and their subsequent interpretations by the great Islamic scholars.
This book reminds the importance of the subject by explaining the basic tenets of the Ahl al-Sunnah. It should be noted that those who abandon the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (saas) will lose a highly auspicious reward and be deprived of his intercession on the Day of Judgment.

Fossil is the name given to the remains or traces of a plant or animal preserved in geologic strata since prehistoric times—or in some cases, remains preserved encased in amber. Fossils collected from all over the world are one of our most important sources of information about the organisms that have existed on Earth since the very earliest times, even hundreds of millions of years ago. Research into fossils enables us to learn about extinct plants and animals, as well as earlier forms of species still in existence today. Thanks to this information, we learn which life forms existed at what epochs in time, what these life forms' features were, and whether they resembled present-day species. The fact revealed by the fossil discoveries is that Creation, not blind coincidences, represents the origin of living things.

THE MIRACLE OF ELECTRICITY IN THE BODY
Without electricity, what would your life be like? You would have to find a way of ascending 15 floors with no elevator and preventing food in your refrigerator from spoiling. You could not watch television, warm your dinner up in the microwave, listen to your favorite music on the stereo, quickly dry your hair, cool down your bedroom by means of air conditioning, brighten that room with the touch of a switch or to operate essential machines like your dishwasher, washing machine and clothes drier. At night, your home would be dark and unsafe, and you would live deprived of the many time-saving technologies such as electric heaters, kettles, table lamps, videos and computers—which all make our life so much easier. On a larger scale, traffic, communications, transport, security systems, workplaces, water distribution, energy production, publishing and the press, all depend on electricity as well.
During the summer of 2003, a power blackout in the USA, which affected an area extending from Detroit to Chicago, was a striking example of electricity’s vital importance. Although short-lived, it was reported as a catastrophe. Newspapers ran headlines like “LIFE COMES TO A STANDSTILL.” In the absence of electricity, traffic lights, elevators, public transport, and computers all became inoperative. People were unable to go to work, go shopping,
or even communicate with one another.
The importance of electricity, whose interruption can bring life to a complete standstill, goes far beyond this. Just as a city’s functioning depends on the continuation of the established order, so there is a need for electricity in the human body, in processes analogous to energy production, communications, security, maintenance, and repair. In short, life would be impossible in the absence of our bodies’ electrical system, which is even more essential
than the power grid in cities.
Few who make use of electricity reflect on the fact that, just like the appliances they depend on, their bodies could not function without electricity. The fact is, however, that the human body has been equipped with a flawless electricity network, along with the presence of intelligent systems that contain the most complex information and know-how
to benefit from electrical energy.
Indeed, scientists employ terms commonly used in electronics to describe the body’s nervous system: “generate,” “circuit,” “current,” “resistance,” “voltage,” “insulation,” “charge,” and so forth. It is next to impossible to describe the system without using these terms. The fact that principles necessary for the functioning of technology, discovered in only the last two centuries, have existed in the human body ever since it was first created, is a clear indication of the superior knowledge of Allah. The details set out in this book constitute just a few examples of His infinite knowledge that we have grown able to comprehend.

In this world of ours live many kinds of amazing creatures.
In addition to the ants, honeybees, dogs, cats, flies, spiders, horses, chickens, seagulls, sparrows and other species we know so well, there are also many we have not yet encountered. In many parts of the globe, there are millions of kinds of living things which we have never heard of. Even if we learned their names, we would have nothing to which we could compare them.
The subject of this book is an insect that most of us aren’t used to seeing in our environment. This insect is the termite, which resembles an ant in appearance and partially in the way it lives.
Some people may be surprised to find a book entirely about termites. What, they may ask, is there to tell about these small insects? But as you will soon see, this little-known creature has characteristics that may open people’s minds to an entirely different horizon of ideas.

THE MIRACLE OF THE BLOOD AND HEART
If you had never been aware of the existence of the blood flowing in your body and then suddenly discovered it one day, you would be surprised. The first fact to amaze you would be the prevailing red color just beneath your skin. When you learned that the liquid causing it was constantly flowing at high speed, you would be even more astonished. When scratched or nicked, you would watch how blood flowed to the surface, soon stopped and coagulated by itself. When you examined its workings in some detail, you would realize that your body could not survive without blood and perhaps more interestingly, the blood could not survive without your body. You would then begin to wonder how and why this special fluid had been placed inside your body.
According to evolutionists, this magnificent universe, the flawless human body, all the different species of animals and plants—in short, everything that exists—came about by chance. However, when one examines anything on Earth in any detail, one can easily see how terribly erroneous the theory of evolution really is. Any biological system is so detailed and rational that far from it being brought into existence by chance, the slightest deviance would clearly disrupt its functioning.
There is flawlessness in every part and every detail in the system. Human beings discovered the details of this perfect system just in the last hundred years, and only in general terms. It is Almighty God, He Who is superior to all, Who created all these.

THE MIRACLES OF SMELL AND TASTE
You have been using your senses of smell and taste ever since you first came into the world, and can now perceive tens of thousands of scents and flavors with no difficulty. That is because you possess magnificent systems that make this possible. Your senses of smell and taste work faultlessly and tirelessly on your behalf, throughout your entire lifetime. What is more, you have paid nothing for them, have received no specialized training and make no effort at all in order to make use of them.
Medical and biological textbooks on the subject tell us that we owe our perceptions of smell and taste to our noses, tongues and brains. It is true, of course that we perceive flavors and odors by means of these organs. Yet another point here is ignored, whether consciously or otherwise. The question that’s generally overlooked and that really needs to be answered is this: To whom do we owe the existence of our noses, tongues and brains?
Most people think that it is sufficient to know that they smell with their noses and taste with their tongues, and are not concerned with the intricate details. Yet this is a serious mistake to make. Taste and smell are inseparable, essential elements of everyone’s life, and it is terribly heedless for anyone aware of that to ignore the significant details that these senses present.

PROPHET JESUS (pbuh): A PROPHET, NOT A SON, OF GOD
The religion brought by Prophet Jesus (pbuh), the true religion of those who believe in God as the One and Only God, was distorted after his elevation to God’s presence. As a result, Christianity, as we know it today, is a new belief based on such misguided concepts as the trinity and the atonement for sins. These beliefs were put forward by the Church fathers at various councils, not by Prophet Jesus (pbuh), as absolute laws that must be accepted without thought, questioning or inquiry.
Over the centuries, many Christians have questioned these erroneous beliefs, which were accepted by majority vote in Church councils. Many of those who did so were dragged before the Inquisition’s courts and tortured and/or executed. Today, such debates are no longer considered criminal. The concept of the trinity appears nowhere in Christian scriptures. It entered Christianity three centuries after the time of Prophet Jesus (pbuh), and it has now begun to be debated in a number of circles.
In this book, the author uses both Christian, Biblical, and Qur’anic sources to show that true Christianity is a monotheistic religion. The author, in line with the Qur’anic command to command what is good and prohibit what is evil, hopes that open-minded Christians will use the information presented in this book to question this misguided belief and return to the true monotheistic faith taught by Prophet Jesus (pbuh).

THE INTELLECTUAL STRUGGLE AGAINST DARWINISM
Darwinism lies at the root of those movements that are currently disrupting attempts at world peace and forestalling an atmosphere of cooperation and security. It’s vitally important that mankind be warned against Darwinism’s deceptions and propaganda, and that its intellectual threats be neutralized. Rather than ignoring the threat it poses, sincere Muslims must strive to become aware of this dangerous idea and mobilize all their resources to eradicate it.
But those who fail to understand Darwinism and the threats it poses cannot comprehend the importance of the intellectual struggle against it. This book explains that struggle’s vital importance and examines the excuses advanced by those seeking to avoid participating in it.

THE ERROR OF THE EVOLUTION OF SPECIES
According to Charles Darwin, small genetic differences that arose in living things over the course of time transformed species into new ones—and that is how all of life came into existence.
But research in the intervening 150 years has revealed a major error. Branches of science such as population genetics and comparative biology show that there is no evolutionary family tree as Darwinism maintained. On the contrary, genetic variations within any one species never exceed a specific limit. Therefore, no species evolves into any other. One after another, all examples of supposedly evolving species have all been proven to be mistaken.
The theory of evolution, already discredited by such fields as biology and paleontology, is now undergoing an inevitable collapse. This book reveals the theory’s hopeless position in the face of the extraordinary variety of life on Earth, and demonstrates that each of the millions of different species on our planet is yet another proof of God’s sublime creation.
