Adnan Oktar
(Harun Yahya)

He has sent down the Book to you with truth, confirming
what was there before it. And He sent down the Torah and the
Gospel. (Qur'an, 3:3)
The Qur'an tells us that there will be Jews and Christians in this

world and as set out in the lines above, some of these will be a sin-
cere and select community made so by God. God makes it lawful in
the Qur'an for Muslims to marry Christian and Jewish women and to
eat at table with them (this will be set out in detail shortly). In addi-
tion, our Almighty Lord states that the closest people to Muslims in

terms of love are "Christians." Those people who spread the idea
"May God perish the Jews and Christians," as if these were the words
of our Prophet (pbuh), when God actually praises and speaks of
rewarding and the existence of these communities, are assuming
responsibility for a terrible slander. The false hadith in question is
totally refuted by the words of praise for the People of the Book in

the Qur'an and by our Prophet's (pbuh) behavior toward the People
of the Book. We shall shortly be looking at verses of the Qur'an and
the behavior of our Prophet (pbuh) on that very subject.

Arab lands are holy places
where the three faiths co-ex-
isted and were protected by
our Prophet (pbuh). It is obvi-
ous that our Prophet (pbuh)
would never say that Jews and
Christians, of whose existence
God speaks and whom He
praises, should be destroyed.
Those fabricated hadiths are
all slanders against our
Prophet (pbuh).
