                                                  REMARKS ON DESTINY,
                                                   PREORDINATION AND
                                                 THE FACT THAT ALLAH IS

                                                        EVERYWHERE
                                                 ADNAN OKTAR: The subjects on
                                              which people concentrate most are
                                              those such as the existence of Allah,

                                              death, what will happen in the Here-
                                              after, and destiny. In other words, no
                                              matter how much they try not to let on,
                                              this is the subject that occupies their
                                              brains day and night. That is because
                                              every night, there is a film on the TV
                                              about someone dying. Even if a person
                                              sees a dead insect, it would remind
                                              him of death, and when he thinks
                                              about himself it reminds him of death
                                              again.
                                                 People are very troubled when it
                                              comes to destiny. There are still objec-
                                              tions raised, even though I have talked
                                              about it at such length, they are still
                                              saying things. They say that Allah has
                                              created destiny, of course. There is pre-

                                              destination, but there is also partial
                                              free will, they say, in other words a
                                              very small power unique to us that
                                              Allah—may Allah forbid—cannot con-
                                              trol, which belongs to us. In other
