Page 2 - Terrorism: The Ritual of the Devil

T T whose strength and influence they perhaps
hroughout their entire lives, everyone is
at war with an enemy, the extent of
fail to fully comprehend. Those who are con-
stantly in conflict with others, who always be-
lieve that violence is the answer, who take pleasure in
brutality, murder, chaos and anarchy, in short, those who
harm the peace and security of the world, have lost the
war against this foe, whether they realize it or not, and
have fallen under his control. This most dangerous
enemy is the Devil, described to us in all his aspects by
God in the Qur’an.
The hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad (saas) also men-
tion that, during the end times, a devilish power called the
Antichrist (Dajjal) will emerge, one of whose most important attributes
will be that he disrupts the peace and order of mankind. From the ha-
diths, one would ordinarily think of him as an individual. However, as well
as an individual, it can also be an ideology that tends towards violence
and savagery, possesses devilish characteristics, and inflicts suffering on
mankind.
One of the most frequently employed methods that the movement in
question resorts to, in order to achieve its aims, is acts of violence and ter-
rorism aimed at the innocent. In other words, terrorism is the most promi-
nent element of the way of the Antichrist. That element is employed by
the disciples of the system, in hysteria and rage, as if it were a holy rite.
The wars, conflicts, acts of brutal terrorism, slaughter and acts of geno-
cide that still go on in various parts of the world today, are the work of the
Antichrist. The main aim of that system is to turn people away from reli-
gious belief, proper morality, love, and to turn them into uncompassion-
ate and aggressive creatures that take pleasure in savagery and violence,
and thus turn the whole world into a battleground. However, it must
never be forgotten that this plan will not succeed. That is a promise made
by God to the believers.
Say: “Truth has come and falsehood has vanished. Falsehood is always
bound to vanish.” (Qur’an, 17: 81)

The author, who writes under the pen-name Harun
Yahya, was born in Ankara in 1956. He studied arts
at Istanbul's Mimar Sinan University, and philoso-
phy at Istanbul University. Since the 1980s, the au-
thor has published many books on political,
faith-related and scientific issues. His main focus
has been the refutation of Darwinism and material-
ism, two modern myths presented under a scientific
guise. Harun Yahya's books appeal to all kinds of readers, Muslims and
non-Muslims alike, regardless of their age, race, or nationality, for they
focus on one objective: to broaden the readers’ perspective by encourag-
ing them to think about a number of critical issues, such as the existence
of God and His unity, and to display the decrepit foundations and per-
verted works of godless systems.
