Page 105 - Eternity Has Already Begun

Look, you have just heard a
click. I have now made another
click. A belief arose in your brain
when you compared the two. That
belief is known as time. There is no ti-
me in free space. Look at Einstein or Max
Planck, they all set it out, but people gene-
rally fail to understand since they use complicated
scientific terminology. But it is very clear, not complicated at all. Ti-
me needs to exist in order to be able to ask "What existed before Al-
lah?" People sometimes find themselves in a quandary since time
was created subsequently. An entity confined to time and space
can talk about "before" or "after." But there is no before or after for
Almighty Allah, Who is unfettered by time and space. In other
words, there is one single moment. That is why people must bear
that in mind when thinking about things concerning the existence of
Allah. That is the answer to the question "Who created Allah?" We
can say this since time was created afterward. But if we were to step
outside time we would immediately grasp the answer. But we can-
not understand since we are fettered by time. (From Mr. Adnan Ok-
tar's interview on Dem TV, October 30, 2009)
