Page 55 - Slanders on Muslims in History

Harun Yahya - Adnan Oktar 53

religion and truly religious people continue to exist, their slan-
ders and hurtful words will continue to exist too.
Muslims, who are aware of this fact, do not suffer or
despair when they encounter similar situations, because they
are also aware of Allah’s promise of goodness to them:
Those who were expelled from their homes without any
right, merely for saying: “Our Lord is Allah.” If Allah had
not driven some people back by means of others,
monasteries, churches, synagogues and mosques,
where Allah’s name is mentioned much, would have
been pulled down and destroyed. Allah will certainly
help those who help Him—Allah is All-Strong, Almighty.
(Surat al-Hajj, 40)
No doubt, it would be a grave error to think that such
incidents, as well as unbelievers or slandered Muslims, no
longer exist, for Allah has revealed that such groups of people
will always exist.
In the recent past, one excellent example is the life of
Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, who was subjected to the opposi-
tion of certain people and resisted their attacks with patience
and reliance upon Allah until he died. Bediuzzaman invited
people to live by the Qur'an's morality, see the signs of faith,
and appreciate Allah's existence and infinite power. But after
he became the target of a campaign of slander, he was forced
to endure prison and exile. The following few pages are ded-
icated to his experiences and impeccable reaction to them.
He is a model that all Muslims facing the same campaign
should emulate.
