Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

All Events Are Happening Right At This Moment!

An example will lead us to a better understanding of the fact that,
in the Sight of Allah, every incident takes place in a single moment.
Assume that you have the picture of a big city spread in front of you.
Streets, vehicles, buildings lined up side by side and people are
clearly seen in this picture. Let's also imagine that there is a man try-
ing to reach the other end of this city. From the point of view of this
man, there is a certain distance to be crossed from one end of this
city to another in a definite time. It surely takes some time for this
man to reach his destination. It is unlikely that he can be present at
two distinct places at the same time. Yet, this is not the case for a
person like you who looks at this picture from the outside. At a first
glance, you can see all the details of the city in a single moment.
Moreover, you do not even need a specific time in which to do this.
This state outlined in the above example also holds true for peo-
ple like us confined to a specific dimension. For us, reaching a des-
tination becomes possible only with the passage of time and by ex-
pending some energy. However, for Allah, the Creator of all dimen-
sions, and above all, Who is beyond all deficiencies, it takes only a
single moment for all events to occur.
The second important fact is the simultaneity of these events. As
stated earlier, in the Sight of Allah, it is not possible to talk about the
notion of time; everything takes place and ends in a single instant.
The Prophet Adam (pbuh) is created from clay right at this mo-
ment, angels are prostrating themselves before the Prophet Adam

(pbuh) right now. Likewise, he is now being sent to earth. Further-
more, the "moment" we are talking about is the "moment" you are
reading these lines.
Another example will further clarify this explanation. Let's think
about the Prophet Moses (pbuh). The moment his mother decided to
place the baby Moses in a box and set him adrift on the water is still
present; that moment never disappeared and will continue to exist
