General Articles, - Allah (God) breathed his spirit into man

After trying to resolve the issue of how red is perceived inside the
brain, how the sound of pleasant music is interpreted differently
from chewing a steak and why even the most detailed MRI provides no
evidence regarding the interpretation mechanism involved, Jeffrey
M. Schwartz, a neuroscientist and research professor of psychiatry
at the UCLA School of Medicine, goes on to ask the following
important question:
...why would studying brain mechanisms, even down to the molecular
level, ever provide an answer to those questions?
The answer is this: Because the answer to the interpreting
mechanism is not in the brain at all. It is impossible to come by
the answers to questions regarding this mechanism by studying human
cells, examining neurons or performing research at the molecular
level. That is because what causes a person to perceive the outside
world is not inside the human body. It is something outside the
brain, neurons, cells or electric signals. It is the soul bestowed
on us by Almighty Allah.
Reveals Allah in one verse:
… then [He] formed him and breathed His Spirit into him and gave you
hearing, sight and hearts. What little thanks you show! (Surat
as-Sajda, 9)
People who fail to understand that it is the soul that perceives,
and that it is independent of matter, are making a very important
mistake: They face the possibility that the images they see exist
on a screen in their brains. Yet when we consider that there is a
screen in our brains on which the outside world exists, we also have
no choice but to admit the existence of a little man watching that
screen. And there must be another little man watching the screen in
the brain of the first, and so on. But there is no screen and no
other little man watching the events on it in the brain. The human
brain is pitch black and silent. There is nothing there but neurons
made up of proteins and electric signals moving very swiftly back
and forth. It is impossible for those electric signals to see a
flower, smell it, touch it, delight in it, see a ship sailing in the
distance or enjoy the taste of a strawberry--all in a piece of flesh.
It is impossible for them to experience a prolonged period of
enjoyment of an orchestral symphony. It is obviously not electrical
signals that produce such a lively, bustling, brightly colored,
vivid, three- dimensional and perfectly sharp world. And there is
also no doubt that it is not electric signals that cause one to
rejoice or grieve, to feel excitement or concern, to remember and
feel happy, or to miss someone and satisfy that longing. Even if the
world's most renowned professors were to work together, as Jeffrey
M. Schwartz says, they still would not find this perception
mechanism anywhere in the brain.
The self-conscious entity that says "I see" the images and "I hear"
the sounds in the brain is the soul given to man by Allah. This is
the reality that the materialist mindset is most unwilling of all
to see revealed. The soul sees without the need for eyes, touches
without the need for hands, hears without the need for ears, smells
without the need for a nose and tastes without the need for a
mouth. The soul is the only answer to the question of "who does the
perceiving?" which scientists have been trying to resolve for
years. Allah constantly shows images to the human soul and, day and
night, whether in this world or in dreams, creates a whole world
for them. Everything in that world has a perfect and flawless
appearance. So much so that it is very difficult for us to realize
that the sharp image and sensation of depth in front of us consists
merely of an illusion and has no connection with the real outside
world. This is the flawless, matchless, glorious work of our
Almighty Lord, Who has the power to create infinite worlds in an
area just a few centimeters in size whenever He chooses.
He is Allah – the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form. To Him
belong the Most Beautiful Names. Everything in the heavens and Earth
glorifies Him. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. (Surat al-Hashr,
24)
A flawless image forms in our brains because Allah so wills. There
are smells there because He so wills and we listen to and enjoy
immaculate music because He so wishes. We also feel and recognize
things by touching them because Allah so wills. The food we eat has
flavor because that is what Allah wills. A whole world emerges in
the human mind from nothing at Allah's command. Our Lord creates a
world from nothing in a person's mind that belongs to that person
alone, that only he can see and recognize. This world is not the
outside world. It is impossible to have direct contact with the
world outside. It is impossible, unless Allah so wills, for anyone
to have direct experience of a world created for someone else. One
can only live in and watch a world created for oneself alone by
Allah. It is impossible to step outside it. In another verse, Allah
reveals:
They will ask you about the Spirit. Say: "The Spirit is one of the
commands of my Lord. You have only been given a little knowledge."
(Surat al-Isra', 85)

General Articles, - Communism's indispensable instinct: Terror

Anarchy and terror are an essential means employed by Marxism and
communism. The founders of communism, Karl Marx and Friedrich
Engels, personally espoused violence and terror. Under Vladimir
Lenin, who put Marx's theory into practice, terror became an
inseparable part of the communist ideology. These words of Lenin's
make this perfectly clear:
We cannot reject terror, as it is the one form of military action
which may be perfectly suitable or even essential at a definite
juncture in battle. (V. I., Lenin: "Where to Begin", Collected Works
, Vol. 5, Moscow, 1961, p. 19)
... WHEN PEOPLE CHARGE US WITH HARSHNESS we wonder how they can
forget the rudiments of Marxism. ("Speech to the All-Russia
Extraordinary Commission Staff," Collected Works , Vol. 28, pp.
169-170)
In communist thinking, war never ends. And war never ends in
dialectic thinking. There is constant conflict. There is a constant
struggle between opposites and blood will continue to flow until
the dictatorship of the proletariat. There is no bloodless world in
communist thinking. There must be blood and terror and anarchy.
Communism rejects a peaceful world. (From Mr. Adnan Oktar's
interview on July 22, 2011)
Oceans of blood have been shed because of communist ideology in
Russia, China, Korea, Burma and Cuba; millions of people have lost
their lives and as many again were injured.
In the 20th century alone, 120 million men, women, old people,
children and babies lost their lives because of this cold, harsh,
strict and savage ideology known as "communism." And that is just
the official figure. The true number of those who died because of
communist oppression is very much higher.
Those who survived lived in a constant state of fear because
communist ideology regarded terror as an indispensable weapon and
obliged its followers to resort to terror. For example, this is how
Lenin taught his communist comrades to perpetrate acts of terror
against the troops and police officials of the state:
They must arm themselves as best they can (rifles, revolvers,
bombs, knives, knuckle- dusters, sticks, rags soaked in kerosene for
starting fires, ropes or rope ladders, shovels for building
barricades, pyroxylin cartridges, barbed wire, nails, etc., etc.).
…
Even without arms, the groups can play a most important part: 1) by
leading the mass; 2) by attacking, whenever a favourable opportunity
presents itself, policemen . . . and seizing their arms; 3) by
rescuing the arrested or injured, when there are only few police
about; 4) by getting on to the roofs or upper storeys of houses,
etc., and showering stones or pouring boiling water on the troops,
etc. …
… To launch attacks under favourable circumstances is not only every
revolutionary's right, but his plain duty. The killing of spies,
policemen, gendarmes, the blowing up of police stations, the
liberation of prisoners, the seizure of government funds for the
needs of the uprising. . . every detachment of the revolutionary
army must be ready to start such operations at a moment's notice.
(Lenin, Collected Works , Progress Publishers, 1972, Moscow, Vol. 9,
pp. 420-424)
The propagandists must supply each group with brief and simple
recipes for making bombs… Squads must at once begin military
training by launching operations immediately, at once. Some may at
once undertake to kill a spy or blow up a police station, others to
raid a bank to confiscate funds for the insurrection… (Lenin,
Collected Works , Progress Publishers, 1972, Moscow, Vol. 9, p.
346)
When Lenin spoke at a workers' meeting he described how
indispensable terror was for them in these exceptionally blunt
terms:
We can't expect to get anywhere unless we resort to terrorism:
speculators must be shot on the spot. ("Meeting of the Presidium of
the Petrograd Soviet With Delegates From the Food Supply
Organisations," Collected Works , Vol. 26, p. 501)
These lines were handwritten by Lenin himself:
… we are not at all opposed to political killing … Only in direct,
immediate connection with the mass movement can and must individual
terrorist acts be of value. (Lenin, Collected Works , Progress
Publishers, 1976, Moscow, Vol. 35, pp. 237-239)
As we have seen, communism commands death and destruction, the
infliction of fear, panic, alarm and terror, and the killing of a
country's military, police and innocent people without batting an
eyelid.
Under this system, human emotions such as sympathy, pity and
conscience are totally eliminated. In the same way that a wild
animal may have to engage in a fight to the death with members of
its own species in order to obtain food and shelter, so human
beings are expected to behave in the same "animal" way. That is
because communism is based on Darwinism, which teaches the lie that
human beings are supposedly a kind of animal, and that if animals
have to fight to survive, then human beings must behave in the same
way.
Communism ends when bloodshed ends. Communism persists where
bloodshed persists. The dictatorship of the proletariat is built on
blood. Look, they say as much themselves; "A great red Sun will rise
over the horizon of this sea of blood." What else do they need to
say? Look, "A red Sun will rise over the horizon of this sea of
blood." A communist Sun. He says communism will rise. They say they
will shed oceans of blood, so what more need they say? This is in
their slogans and writings and everywhere. (From Mr. Adnan Oktar's
interview on July 22, 2011)
Indeed, when one looks at communist publications one can see this
maniacal bloodlust very clearly.
The Bolshevik newspaper Krasnaya , one of Lenin's most important
backers, defended the shedding of much blood in Russia in these
terms:
We will turn our hearts into steel, which we will temper in the fire
of suffering and the blood of fighters for freedom. WE WILL MAKE OUR
HEARTS CRUEL, HARD, AND IMMOVABLE, SO THAT NO MERCY WILL ENTER
THEM, AND SO THAT THEY WILL NOT QUIVER AT THE SIGHT OF A SEA OF
ENEMY BLOOD. … Without mercy, without sparing, we will kill our
enemies in scores of hundreds. LET THEM BE THOUSANDS; LET THEM
DROWN THEMSELVES IN THEIR OWN BLOOD. For the blood of Lenin and
Uritsky, Zinovief and Volodarski, let there be floods of the blood
of the bourgeois - more blood, as much as possible. (1 September
1918, Bolshevik Newspaper Krasnaya )
The fact that terror is an indispensable element of communism is
clear, not only in Lenin's works, but in the works of and
statements by just about all communist leaders. For example, Felix
Dzerzhinsky, a communist leader of the time, said this in an
interview:
WE STAND FOR ORGANIZED TERROR - THIS SHOULD BE FRANKLY ADMITTED.
TERROR IS AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY DURING TIMES OF REVOLUTION. (Felix
Dzerzhinsky, a communist revolutionary of the time, July 14, 1918,
interviewed in Novaia Zhizn )
Leon Trotsky, who was rejected by Leninists for not being
sufficiently cruel and seeking sufficient bloodshed, also
explicitly said there could be no communism without terror:
But the revolution does require of the revolutionary class that it
should attain its end by all methods at its disposal – if necessary,
by an armed rising; if required, by terrorism.
Mao Tse-Tung, the notorious psychopath personally responsible for
the deaths of more than 60 million people, also described how
communism could not be espoused without violence:
A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one
class overthrows another. (Mao Tse-Tung, Quotations from Chairman
Mao Tse-Tung (aka " The Little Red Book "), Chapter 2: Classes and
Class Struggle)
In Turkey today the PKK, a Marxist, Leninist, Stalinist, communist
organization, also follows this bloodthirsty line. As a result of
Darwinist indoctrination that depicts life as a battleground,
separatist militants are able to slaughter babies, the elderly and
innocent people without the slightest remorse. They martyr our
soldiers and police, and resort to all kinds of terrorist activity.
Since they do not regard themselves and others as entities created
by Allah with souls, intelligence, conscience and understanding,
they do to one another, and other people, what animals do to other
animals. This scourge can only come to an end with the elimination
of Darwinism, the foundation of this savagery.
Wide-ranging, scientific anti-communist and anti-Darwinist
propaganda against this deadly communist and separatist movement
that gathers its supporters by using Marxist-Leninist- communist
propaganda is therefore absolutely essential.
The solution to the PKK is faith and ideas. The PKK wears a face of
faithlessness. There needs to be a counter- force to faithlessness,
and we must oppose faithlessness with faith. What is faith? The
truths of the Qur'an, the facts of the Qur'an, anti-communist,
anti-materialist, anti-Darwinist and anti-Stalinist activity. It is
not silence or offering people a bowl of soup. The fact of religion
must not be ignored. We must accept that we are facing a communist
ideology and communist uprising; ignoring that cannot represent a
rational movement. Turning a blind eye to the facts does not
eradicate those facts. The movement is a communist movement; there
is a Stalinist- communist uprising going on. There needs to be a
scientific, scholarly and rational campaign against it. There is no
other way, no alternative.
