ADNAN OKTAR

for Allah, for only humanity – not Allah – is bound by time
and space. But our Lord, Who is unbounded by anything

and is perfect in all respects, creates and makes something
happen by saying: "Be!" This is revealed in the following
verses:
Our Word to a thing when We will it is just to say to it
"Be!" and it is. (Surat al-Kahf:18-19)
He gives life and death. When He decides upon an affair,

He says to it "Be!" and it is. (Surah Ghafir:68)
… the Originator of the heavens and Earth. When He de-
cides on something, He just says to it "Be!" and it is. (Surat
al-Baqara:117)

Waking the Companions of the Cave
after Many Years

Another example is the Qur'anic account of the
Companions of the Cave, a group of young people who
sought protection from their oppressive ruler who opposed
religious moral values. Allah reveals in the Qur'an the fol-
lowing information about them:
When the young men took refuge in the cave and said: "Our
Lord, give us mercy directly from You and open the way for
us to right guidance in our situation." So We sealed their
ears with sleep in the cave for a number of years. (Surat al-
Kahf:10-11)
