Page 77 - Eternity Has Already Begun

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

had assumed themselves to be in contact with their originals in the
world and associated them with Allah. Allah stated this fact in the
verse "See how they lie against themselves and how what they in-
vented has forsaken them!" (Surat al-An'am: 24)

The Gain of Believers

The facts—that matter is not absolute and that time is a percep-
tion—alarm materialists, but for true believers, just the opposite
holds true. People with faith in Allah feel gladness to have per-
ceived the secret behind matter, because this reality is the key to
every question. With this, all secrets are unlocked, and one can eas-
ily understand many issues that normally seemed hard to grasp.
As said before, the issues of death, Paradise, Hell, the Hereafter,
and changing dimensions, eternity will thus be comprehended. Im-
portant questions such as, "Where is Allah?," "What existed before
Allah?," "Who created Allah?," "How long will the life in cemetery
last?," "Where are Paradise and Hell?," and "Do Paradise and Hell
currently exist?" will be easily answered. Once it's understood that
Allah created the entire universe from nothingness, the questions of
"When?," and "Where?" become meaningless, because there will be
no time or place left. When spacelessness is comprehended, it can be
understood that Hell, Paradise and Earth are all actually in the same
location. If timelessness is understood, it will be understood that
everything takes place at one single moment: Nothing need be
awaited, and time does not go by, because everything has already
happened and finished. In other words, eternity has already begun.
When this secret is comprehended, the world becomes like Par-
adise for any believer. All distressful material worries, anxieties, and
fears vanish. The person grasps that the entire universe has one single
Sovereign, that He creates the entire physical world as He pleases, and
that all one has to do is to turn unto Him. He then submits himself en-
tirely to Allah "to be devoted to His service." (Surah Al 'Imran: 35)
Grasping this secret is the greatest gain in the world.
