Adnan Oktar (Harun Yahya)


             Take them (your parents) under your wing, out of mercy, with due
             humility and say: ‘Lord, show mercy to them as they did in looking
             after me when I was small.’ (Surat al-Isra’, 24)

             Those who have come after them say, ‘Our Lord, forgive us and our
             brothers who preceded us in faith and do not put any rancour in
             our hearts towards those who believe. Our Lord, You are All-Gentle,
             Most Merciful.’ (Surat al-Hashr, 10)

             PRAYING TO GOD IN A HOPEFUL AND FEARFUL
             MANNER
             We responded to him and gave him Yahya, restoring for him his
             wife’s fertility. They outdid one another in good actions, calling out

             to Us in yearning and in awe, and humbling themselves to Us. (Surat
             al-Anbiya’, 90)
             Do not corrupt the earth after it has been put right. Call on Him
             fearfully and eagerly. God’s mercy is close to the good-doers. (Surat
             al-A’raf, 56)
             Their sides eschew their beds as they call on their Lord in fear and

             ardent hope. And they give of what We have provided for them.
             (Surat as-Sajdah, 16)
             (Ibrahim said,) ‘I will separate myself from you and all you call upon
             besides God and I will call upon my Lord. It may well be that, in calling
             on my Lord, I will not be disappointed.’ (Surah Maryam, 48)


             TRAVELING IN THE WAY OF GOD
             Nor will they give away any amount, whether large or small, nor
             will they cross any valley, without it being written down for them
             so that God can recompense them for the best of what they did.

             (Surat at-Tawba, 121)
