Mr. Adnan Oktar's excerpts from his interviews about hypocrites
1- WHO ARE THE HYPOCRITES?
ADNAN OKTAR'S LIVE INTERVIEW ON TEMPO TV (28 January 2009) ADNAN OKTAR: Hypocrite is the name given to people who come among Muslims, despite not being Muslims themselves, collect information about Muslims, learn what they do and what their names are, and hand it on to the unbelievers, to Freemasons for instance, to atheist Zionists, in order to oppress them, to people who have no other purpose than that, to collect information for those ends. ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KACKAR TV (12 February 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: The hypocrite pretends to be a Muslim, and pretends to have takwa when he is with Muslims, but who actually denies Allah. He is irreligious and detests Muslims but remains with them in order to learn or gain information about them and tell the unbelievers all about Muslims and thus wrong them. These are the people we refer to as hypocrites.
2- THE PRINCIPAL CHARACTERISTICS OF HYPOCRITES
ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON CAY TV (18 March 2009) ADNAN OKTAR: The main feature of the hypocrite is that they carry information to the unbeliever. The unbelievers are braver and more honest in this respect; because they say they are one’s enemy and fight it out, man to man. But the hypocrite is treacherous. He will say he is a Muslim and infiltrate Muslims to obtain information and then hand it on to the unbelievers and other opponents of Muslims. And their treachery continues. They go and tell Muslims that they are Muslims, too, that they are one of them. Allah says in one verse that they are neither one of us nor one of them. Allah says they cannot get along with Muslims or with the unbelievers. He says their hearts are fragmented. And that they cannot stop doing this until they die. But Allah has promised them death, and says that this, their excess, will come to an end when they die and go to hell. Hypocrites are created as hypocrites; as satan’s most advanced, but most loathsome entities.
ADNAN OKTAR'S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KACKAR TV (12 March 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: Allah says of them in a verse that, “they imagine they do good deeds.” They imagine they are very clever and on the right path. For example, the immoral people who built the masjid Dirar, that is mosque of the hypocrites, in the time of our Prophet (saas) also imagined they were acting properly and on the right path. They abandoned the Prophet (saas) saying they had left their homes unattended, but that they would have accompanied him had they been any good at fighting. They lied. But Allah says He knows they lie, and that they know it, too.
ADNAN OKTAR'S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KON TV (KONYA) (14 February 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: “Those who break Allah’s contract after it has been agreed, and sever what Allah has commanded to be joined,..”. They fail to perform the namaz, for example, or to fast or spread the religion of Allah, fail in terms of moral values. “and cause corruption on the earth,..” This time they begin working against Muslims under the influence of satan. “it is they who are the lost.” says Allah. They will realize their loss in the hereafter, of course.
ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KRAL KRADENIZ TV (16 January 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: The hypocrite is treacherous, he conceals himself. He worms his way in among Muslims and depicts himself as having close relations with them, but then he goes off and basely works against Muslims. He tries to back them into a corner. That was how the hypocrites were in the time of our Prophet (saas). Very treacherous. They approached Rasulullah (saas) and pretended to love him. But when they stepped outside they spoke against him. “What did he say?” they would say. There is a verse to that effect. Some even said that if they knew how to fight they would accompany him, but that they did not know. But they in fact knew perfectly well, it was just not in their interests. Some said, “The weather is very hot. What can one do in this heat?” But if you give them money or some benefit, then they will do it. The lack of morals of the hypocrite is described in detail in the Qur’an. For example, they obtained a separate mosque in the time of our Prophet (saas) and even prayed in it and fasted, pretending to be Muslims, but they were actually perfidious and immoral. Allah forbade people to pray in that mosque and told them not to go to it. The aim was to destroy love and respect for our Prophet (saas) and devotion to him, for which reason hypocrites are the vilest creatures in the whole world.
ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON TEMPO TV (17 February 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: “Say: ‘Shall I inform you of the greatest losers in their actions? People whose efforts in the life of the dunya are misguided while they suppose that they are doing good.’ This is one of the attributes of the hypocrites. The Quran draws attention to this.
“..the greatest losers in their actions?” Note that Allah says ‘the greatest losers’, not losers. Since the hypocrites are at the lowest layer of the hell. They are the ones who are afflicted with the greatest predicament. As you know there will be hypocrites among Hazrat Mahdi’s (as) community. There are the most vicious hypocrites of the End Times. REPORTER: Yes ADNAN OKTAR:“Say: ‘Shall I inform you of the greatest losers in their actions? People whose efforts in the life of this world are misguided while they suppose that they are doing good.” They present themselves as devout, they form a separate structure. “Those are the people who reject their Lord’s signs and the meeting with Him. Their actions will come to nothing and, on the Day of Resurrection, We will not assign them any weight. That is their repayment – Hell – because they were unbelievers and made a mockery of My signs and of My messengers.”
3- ADNAN OKTAR DESCRIBES THE ATTRIBUTES OF HYPOCRITES IN ACCORDANCE WITH HOLY VERSES
MAVİ KARADENİZ INTERVIEW (10 February 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: … In verse 145 of Surat an-Nisa, Almighty Allah says “The hypocrites are in the lowest level of the Fire. You will not find anyone to help them.” In verse 138 of Surat an-Nisa Almighty God says, “Give news to the hypocrites that they will have a painful punishment.” See how they are given news? He says this to humiliate the hypocrites. “Those who break Allah’s contract after it has been agreed,” He says. They say they will help, that they are Muslims, devoted to Allah and the Qur’an, and stand alongside believers, but Allah says they have broken the contract. They abandon things that Allah has commanded. They sever the bonds of brotherhood, for example, and abandon good deeds. “And they bring forth corruption.” They move around and report on Muslims and spread strife and corruption. “They are the losers.” They did many such things in the time of our Prophet (saas). In verse 27 of Surat al-Baqara Allah says, “Those who break Allah’s contract after it has been agreed.” “You will see that most of them establish friendships with those who stray into denial.” They feel hatred for Muslims. One characteristic of hypocrites is that they live among Muslims but have close ties to the irreligious people and atheists and tell tales to them about Muslims. They rejoiced to be far away from the Prophet (saas). They regarded it as unpleasant to strive on the path of Allah and said why bother in all this heat? In Surat at-Tawba, Allah says, “They said, ‘do not go out to fight in the heat.’ Say: ‘The Fire of Hell is much hotter, if they only understood.” “They will swear in the name of Allah that they are one of you.” They will claim to be believers when they speak with Muslims, and will swear that this is so, Allah says. “But they are not of you. They are a cowardly community.” They are full of fear and tension because their souls are filled with the filth of satan. In verses 56-57 of Surat at-Tawba, Almighty Allah says: “As for those who make Allah their friend, and His Messenger and those who believe: it is the party of Allah who are victorious! You who believe! Do not take as friends any of those given the Book before you or the unbelievers who make a mockery and a game out of your religion. Fear Allah if you are believers.”
Allah compares them to donkeys in terms of their stubbornness and stupidity. He says they have fled from a lion, that is arslan in Turkish]. As you know, one of the names of Hazrat Mahdi (as) is Arslan. In verse 29 of Surah Muhammad Allah says, “Or did those with sickness in their hearts imagine that Allah would not expose their malevolence?” Allah says that they contribute nothing but evil and damage and will always incite corruption. He says it is better for Muslims not to be with them. He describes them as filth and says that if they remain they will bring Muslims nothing but evil and damage. He says they will try to set Muslims against one another, and that there are spies and informers among them. In verse 47 of Surat at-Tawba He says, “If they had gone out among you, they would have added nothing to you but confusion. They would have scurried about amongst you seeking to cause conflict between you, and among you there are some who would have listened to them. Allah knows the wrongdoers.”
Allah says there are some people who claim to believe in Him and the Day of Reckoning, but who do not in fact believe at all. That is a characteristic of hypocrites. They imagine they are deceiving Allah and believers, whereas they are actually just deceiving themselves, though they are unaware of this. He says there is a sickness in their hearts. But there is a severe punishment awaiting them because of their lies. Allah says that hypocritical men and women are one another’s friends. … They command evil and forbid goodness.” For example, they do not want Islam to spread, but they seek the spread of immorality, evil and oppression. “Their hands are very tight,” meaning that they are very parsimonious and that they spend their lives that way.
4- HYPOCRITES IN THE TIME OF HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)
ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KACKAR TV (12 February 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: …The hypocrites of that time will be the worst ever. They will be the worst hypocrites to emerge from among Muslims. Because Hazrat Mahdi (as) means sovereignty and salvation. He is the best and greatest guide. The greatest guide there has ever been. The hypocrites in his time will be the worst of all time. They will be the most perfidious, treacherous and vile hypocrites. They will collaborate with unbelievers, but they will not be successful. By Allah’s leave, nobody can halt the power of Hazrat Mahdi (as). ADNAN OKTAR'S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KANAL 35 (IZMIR) (7 March 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: Hazrat Mahdi (as) will tell our Lord that he witnessed and saw such a person alongside him. This one was a vile hypocrite, he will say. He was treacherous and immoral. I witnessed it, he will say. He will say that someone else was his friend, a humble and spotless person. Allah gives him the right to bear witness for people, and this is instrumental in His loving them in paradise. This happens so that the hypocrites can suffer accordingly, insha’Allah. They will be humiliated twice. Allah already knows that they are immoral and hypocrites and He creates and sends them in that form.
ADNAN OKTAR'S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KACKAR TV (29 January 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR:“Such that no more of you will remain in the community of Hazrat Mahdi (as) than kohl on the eyes or salt in food. And I shall give you an example. A man has a quantity of wheat. He cleans it and puts it in his home”
Look, he says there is wheat, and it is clean. He notes that believers will be clean like the wheat. “Then when he returns to it after a while he sees it is infested with weevils.” These are the hypocrites. He draws our attention to the hypocrites. He cleans them out again. (The hypocrites are cleaned out again, and they are loathsome while believers are clean.) He then puts the wheat back in his home. When he returns again a while later, he sees they have become infested with weevils again. (Hypocrites keep multiplying.) He again cleans the wheat and gets rid of the weevils. At the end, he is left with a very small amount of wheat the weevils have not harmed. That is the community of Hazrat Mahdi (as). At the end, a spotless community will remain, he says. Vile and cunning people will keep turning up like weevils and will seek to gnaw away at Muslims like wolves and to infiltrate themselves among them and to obtain things from them. But he says that they will be cleaned out on every occasion. For example, Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq relates from Abu Basir that ‘the guilty will be known by the faces.’ In verse 30 of Surah Muhammad, Allah says, “If We wished, We would show them to you and you would know them by their mark and know them by their ambivalent speech.” This verse is interpreted as referring to Hazrat Mahdi (as). In other words, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will realize but will issue no definitive pronouncements, but the hypocrites will be recognizable by their speech, language and behavior. But Hazrat Mahdi (as) will just watch them. Otherwise, if Hazrat Mahdi (as) were not to recognize the hypocrites, the lowest creatures in the world, they would shatter his community. Since Hazrat Mahdi (as) will identify them and take precautions, the hypocrites will be unable to harm him. Otherwise there is no limit to what they might do. He says that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be aware of each group’s secret plans; perhaps Allah will place djinn at his disposal. He says he will be aware of each group’s secret plans, and he can only be told of them by djinn, and by the will of Allah. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will recognize friend and foe at a glance. Page 365 of the book Irshat says, “Let nothing prevent you from bonding with Him, with Hazrat Mahdi (as), and those who would prevent you are those who shelter behind corruption.” In other words, he says that people will seek to approach Hazrat Mahdi (as), but people of no character, who love corruption and are oppressive, will hinder Muslims. He says they always shelter behind corruption. He says that if they speak, they speak evil. He says that those who wish to enter and hinder the community of Hazrat Mahdi (as) always speak filth, rubbish and corruption. Sheikh Muhammed Ibrahim Bin Nomani says this on page 252 of the Gaybeti Nomani. Let nothing hinder you from joining Hazrat Mahdi (as), he says. Those who wish to prevent you, to prevent you joining the community of Hazrat Mahdi (as) are those who always shelter behind corruption, who speak evil if they speak, who speak evil and immorality. Anas Ibn Malik says that our Prophet (saas) says that the dajjal will come and descend on one side of Medina, which means city in Arabic. By the edge of the city, he means Istanbul. In other words, the system of the Dajjal is Darwinism, materialism and the entire system of corruption. Medina will be rocked 3 times, and all the hypocrites and unbelievers will emerge and head toward it. That is in Bukhari hadith collection. The account says that all the hypocrites will be cleaned out and the unbelievers will be neutralized and expelled from the community of Hazrat Mahdi (as). Insha’Allah. It is narrated from Sevvan that; a community from my Ummah, the community of Hazrat Mahdi (as) will combat superstition with truth until Allah’s command is made good, and that those who leave them without help or who abandon them will do them no harm. This is a book of authentic hadith. A group from my Ummah will continue to act under Allah’s command, and those who abandon and oppose them, even though truth is on their side, will do no harm to the community of Hazrat Mahdi (as). They will be victorious until Allah’s command comes. This account comes from Muavviye. There are many such hadith, and I have listed just a few to make people aware of them.
5- ACTIONS THE HYPOCRITES WILL TAKE AGAINST THE FAITHFUL
ADNAN OKTAR'S LIVE INTERVIEW ON TEMPO TV (28 January 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: …He says they gathered information against Muslims and even awaited news of disaster from you. But Allah says the ring of disaster will close in around them. He says the ring of disaster will fall upon their heads, and that in the event they fall apart they will use their means and be more at ease, because they want you to be like them. They want you to end up in the same state as them, he says. The Qur’an says that when our Prophet (saas) was speaking in the mosque such a person would use him to shelter behind. That is a reference to the hypocrites. They try to stop assistance being provided. For example, hypocrites do not want help to be extended. Do not help or support them, they say, let them fall apart. Hypocrites serve as informers in order to impose economic sanctions on Muslims and to have them crushed by anti-Muslim forces and to bring the two together face to face. One verse says there will be those among you who bear news to them. So another characteristic of hypocrites is that they are informers, they carry reports concerning Muslims. But Allah creates the hypocrite. Allah also creates the other side, though the hypocrite is unaware of that. The hypocrite imagines he does these things independently. He also thinks that Muslims are an independent force when he bears tales concerning them. But Allah creates both the hypocrite and the place he carries his reports to. And Allah creates Muslims. Allah creates all power. But a special place is prepared for hypocrites in the deepest level of hell. They strive to deserve that place and duly go to the lowest place in hell.
6- HYPOCRITES CAN BE KNOWN FROM THEIR FACES AND WORDS
ADNAN OKTAR'S LIVE INTERVIEW ON TEMPO TV (28 January 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: These hypocrites’ facial expressions are all wrong, too. They can be identified by that. But certain recognition comes with hypocrisy identifying itself. It can be seen from their opposition to Muslims, in other words. It emerges from their carrying reports about Muslims to the unbeliever, their efforts to drive them apart, their living among Muslims but informing on them to the irreligious, their giving information to Muslims’ enemies and their forming alliances to attack them. That was how it was in the time of our Prophet (saas). The hypocrites created an intelligence network with the unbelievers who were attacking the Muslims and carried information to them. But they were fearful. They did not join their ranks entirely. Neither were they fully on the side of the Muslims. But at the end of the day, Allah says, they will line up alongside Muslims like nothing. They will claim to have been alongside the Muslims. That is the perfidious and immoral people they are. As if such people have not done the same things before.
ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON TEMPO TV (10 February 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: Of course the hypocrite is of little intelligence. He imagines he is very clever indeed. He uses very facile and crude methods to influence other people, but they are very obvious and blatant. In other words, they develop a very illogical and unpleasant way of dealing. They use a language incompatible with the moral values of the Qur’an, a very cunning, sly and manipulative one, from which they can be recognized. By Allah’s leave, there is also something defective in such people’s facial expressions. …
REPORTER: Yes…
ADNAN OKTAR: There are also defects in their speech. But Allah says that, if He wishes, one can recognize them from their facial expressions, and from their speech. Many examples of their defective speech are given in the Qur’an.
7- HYPOCRITES WHO LIVED IN THE TIME OF OUR PROPHET (SAAS)
ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON CAY TV (18 March 2009) ADNAN OKTAR: Look at the perfidy in the time of our Prophet (saas). They obtained a new mosque; they did not want to go to our Prophet’s (saas) mosque. Ask why they built it, and they will say as a good deed. But from there they organize anti-Muslim activities and attacks on them. In other words, the worst form of perfidy. They will also emerge in Hazrat Mahdi’s (as) community. The will collaborate with the unbelievers and harbor an infinite hatred. Until the establishment of the Turkish-Islamic Union, when they will be scattered like dogs. After gathering strength, our Prophet (saas) also scattered the hypocrites like curs, and they were literally paralyzed. But in the early days they really tried to crush the Muslims. But they were so perfidious and shameless that one even hid behind the Prophet (saas) as he was speaking. Look at the stupidity of that. He thought he could not be seen. The Prophet (saas) says let us fight, but he says not in that heat. The verses say that they would have joined in had they been given a bit of money, or had the distance involved been short or middling, but the road involved was far too difficult for them, Allah says. I am giving the essence of it here. The hypocrites will end up in the lowest part of hell.
ADNAN OKTAR'S LIVE INTERVIEW ON CAY TV (22 April 2009) ADNAN OKTAR: There are hypocrites of the time of the Prophet Musa (as). As you know the hypocrite of that time, Samiri, made a statue of a calf. And Prophet Musa told him that he will say untouchable till the end of his life and so he sent him away. There are also hypocrites of the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as). They will be the most despicable, vile, backstabbing beings of that time. They will fight against Mahdi. They will act within an organized structure. Our Prophet (saas) says that these people will grow with the community of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and then leave him, that they will leave this community three times. Prophet says that Medina, the city, will shake and they will leave. Prophet compares them to filthy weevils picking on wheat. It means that the students of Mahdi (as) are as clean as wheat. But they will pick on them just as filthy weevils, yet they will be cleaned out. They will at the lowest layer of hell insha’Allah.
8- LAICISM IS A SYSTEM THAT WILL DO AWAY WITH HYPOCRISY
ADNAN OKTAR’S INTERVIEW FOR THE AZERBAIJAN STATE NEWS AGENCY (August 2008)
ADNAN OKTAR: Islam is best implemented under laicism. It is experienced in the most perfect form under laicism. Hypocrisy emerges once laicism goes. People start to say they are Muslims although they are not. Compulsion enters the equation, a conception of the religion based on compulsion. There is compulsion on the streets. Something like that breaks out. That is what happens when laicism goes. But what happens under laicism? Armenians openly say they are Armenians, live by their faith and go and worship in their churches. The Jew goes and worships in his synagogue. The Christian goes and worships in church. And the Muslim goes and prays in the mosque. Nobody interferes with anyone else. Everyone is respectful of and pleasant to everyone else. Irreligious people can say they are irreligious. May Allah forbid. Although there is nothing acceptable about it to us, the atheist can also say that. A communist can say he is a communist. That is what laicism brings about. But what happens when laicism disappears? What happens when you ask the communist what he is? Alhamdulillah, I am a Muslim, he will say. Is that real religion? It is hypocrisy. You compel people to adopt dishonesty and falsity. People must be free to honestly and genuinely say they are communists. Let someone say he is an atheist, and let the state treat him with affection and protect and watch out for him and treat him as a first-class citizen. In other words, there is no question of belittling anyone because of their beliefs. Nobody can be deprived of the right to life. Democratic rights cannot be taken away. They are whatever Allah has created them to be. In the Qur’an, Allah says that there will be pagans and people who do not believe in Him. And who creates them? Allah. I could have made them all religious had I wished, says Allah. I could have made them all Muslims. But there is wisdom behind Allah creating them as they are. The advantage with laicism is that it bestows freedom on all. Religion and secularism are in complete harmony. That is how it was in Ottoman times, and how it will be in the future, insha’Allah. ADNAN OKTAR'S ECH CHOROUK EL YOUMI (ALGERIA) INTERVIEW (17 November 2008)
ADNAN OKTAR: The Islam brought by our Prophet (saas) also enshrines laicism. Laicism also respects the irreligious, Christians and Jews. Everyone can live as they wish, and there is no duress. Nobody interferes with anyone else because of their religion, and there are therefore no hypocrites in such a system. Indeed, laicism is a system of thought taken from the revealed religions. Islam was not drawn from laicism, but laicism is drawn from the Islamic faiths. ADNAN OKTAR: Under the alternative system people are forced to become Muslims. Hypocrisy thrives in such a system. People pretend to be Muslims although they are not. If you use force to compel someone to pray and fast, hypocrisy thrives in that system. But in the absence of duress, and Allah says there is no compulsion in the religion, then it is a question of “your religion for you,” as Allah puts it in the Qur’an, “and our religion for us.” These verses clearly show the existence of laicism.
9- ALLAH WILL EXPOSE AND CHASTISE THE HYPOCRITES
ADNAN OKTAR'S LIVE INTRVIEW ON KACKAR TV (12 March 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: … Allah says that He knows they lie. They know it themselves, though they deny it. But their tongues will start to speak in the hereafter, their eyes will start to speak and their skin will start to speak, and they will see that there is nothing about immorality that is defensible. They already know this in their hearts, but it will become a conscious thing in the hereafter, at which time they will see everything clearly. They imagine that they are deceiving Allah, but in the hereafter they will realize that they cannot deceive Him (Surely Allah is beyond that)…
……For example, the most extreme hypocrites emerged in the time of our Prophet (saas). In other words, later hypocrites will be a different thing. The hypocrites in the time of our Prophet (saas) were the most extreme because they personally witnessed him, his marvelous nature and moral values. That is why Allah says He will place them in the lowest part of hell, where they will receive the worst punishment. This is a great source of relief for believers, of course, though it has been specially created for hypocrites. One can see that they have been created in destiny in that way if one looks at things in terms of a manifestation of Allah’s knowledge of Divine Providence, ilm al-ladun.
10- THE HYPOCRITES WILL BE INSTRUMENTAL IN DRAWING MUSLIMS CLOSER TO ALLAH
ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KACKAR TV (12 February 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: Hypocrites and unbelievers are specially brought here from hell for the education of Muslims. Muslims learn from them, in other words. For example, hypocrites and unbelievers are instrumental in Muslims drawing closer to Allah. Allah uses them to draw Muslims to Himself. When we look at unbelievers and hypocrites, we gain a better conception of the value of faith and reason. And we draw closer to Allah. As we combat them, we gain merit from the intellectual struggle and earn the approval of Allah. This system allows us to love Allah, whom we already love with a fervent passion, even more.
ADNAN OKTAR'S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KACKAR TV (12 March 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: For example, in the time of the Prophet (saas) it was instrumental in the Companions maintaining their fervor. Hypocrites kept the Companions fervent, in other words. Hypocrites spur believers on, in other words. Believers who love Allah and wage the struggle and see the immorality of the hypocrites serve Islam and the Qur’an with an even greater enthusiasm.
ADNAN OKTAR'S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KRAL KARADENIZ (7 April 2009) ADNAN OKTAR: Hypocrites have always existed in time. They are like germs, evils of the society. They are inferior creatures. They have existed in the time of our Prophet (saas) and in the time of Prophet Musa (as). They have existed also before then. Yet this increases the value of the believers. It will be the glory and beauty of the believer. It is like the comparison of coal and diamond. The despicable character of these vile creatures and the high morality, excellent attitude, bravery, patience of these blessed people will be compared. Thus we will love these people more. There is good in terms of this.
11- THE HYPOCRITES WILL BE CAST INTO THE LOWEST LEVEL OF HELL
ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON CAY TV (25 February 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: There are entities with special duties in hell. Their number is given as 19 in the Qur’an, and even if they beg them these entities will remain unaffected. They have been specially created, the demons that drag souls down to hell. They are under Allah’s command and very strong, and they drag people to hell. They use force, and Allah has given them a special power. They are manifestations of Allah, but even though they live in hell, and this is very important, it does not trouble them. For them hell is like paradise. They are immune to it through something bestowed on them by Allah. It has a completely different effect on them, though it means suffering for the unbelievers. The demons serve Allah there as His servants, and the hypocrites will be sent down in the lowest level of hell for all eternity. The hypocrites of the time of the Prophet Musa (as), the time of our Prophet (saas) and of the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as) will all be brought together and cast into the lowest level of hell. That, of course, is a place of darkness and suffering, a filthy place stinking of fire and magma, but it will be comparing that place with paradise that will be the worst suffering of all for them. Their suffering will be much enhanced when they catch a glimpse of paradise. Insha’Allah...
REPORTER: …will there be demons or human beings in the lowest level of hell. Could you tell us about that?
ADNAN OKTAR: The hypocrites will be there. But satan will be alongside them all. The hypocrites will exist side by side with satan. The unbelievers will exist side by side with him. They will be with satan at every level.
ADNAN OKTAR'S LIVE INTERVIEW ON CAY TV (22 April 2009) ADNAN OKTAR: Even the ones there will tell him that he’s so despicable. He will know his rank and also that he’s a hypocrite. He will be sure of his contemptibleness and his inferior character and he will burn with its torment.
