ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Now writing under the pen-name of HARUN YAHYA, he
was born in Ankara in 1956. Having completed his primary
and secondary education in Ankara, he studied arts at
Istanbul's Mimar Sinan University and philosophy at Istanbul
University. Since the 1980s, he has published many books on
political, scientific, and faith-related issues. Harun Yahya is
well-known as the author of important works disclosing the
imposture of evolutionists, their invalid claims, and the dark
liaisons between Darwinism and such bloody ideologies as fas-
cism and communism.
His pen-name is a composite of the names Harun (Aaron) and
Yahya (John), in memory of the two esteemed Prophets who fought
against their people's lack of faith. The Prophet's seal on the his
books' covers is symbolic and is linked to the their contents. It rep-
resents the Qur'an (the final scripture) and the Prophet
Muhammad (peace be upon him), last of the prophets. Under the
guidance of the Qur'an and the Sunnah (teachings of the Prophet),
the author makes it his purpose to disprove each fundamental
tenet of godless ideologies and to have the "last word," so as
to completely silence the objections raised against religion.
He uses the seal of the final Prophet, who attained ulti-
mate wisdom and moral perfection, as a sign of his
intention to offer the last word.
All of Harun Yahya's works share one single goal:
to convey the Qur' an's message, encourage readers to
consider basic faith-related issues such as Allah's
Existence and Unity and the hereafter; and to expose
godless systems' feeble foundations and perverted
ideologies.
Harun Yahya enjoys a wide readership in
many countries, from India to America,
England to Indonesia, Poland to Bosnia,
and Spain to Brazil. Some of his books
are available in English, French,
German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese,
