Page 72 - Global Impact of the Works of Harun Yahya

"HARON YAHYA'S WORKS ARE WELL-READ THROUGH THE WORLD AND MANY
PEOPLE ARE MOVED AND HAVE 'SURRENDERED TO THE WILL OF GOD'"

T he world is in the midst of crisis. Human beings are facing multitude

of crisis because of their rejection of God and His system. The world-
wide socio-economic and environment problems, moral degradation and spiri-
tual crisis are some of the manifestations of the rejection. Ever since science
detached itself from the Islamic root and follow the agnostic and atheistic sys-
tem of the West, it created more problems than benefit. Science with the west-
ern perspectives strengthened the ancient Greek doctrine of materialism which
led to the formulation of various atheistic philosophies. Human beings were
misled into following these philosophies such as utilitarianism, hedonism, indi-
vidualism, fascism and many others which trapped the people into the endless
problems and miseries. Is there any glimpse of hope that humanity could be
saved from the oblivion? Yes if human being accepts God and His system.
Haron Yahya’s works have contributed to this glimpse of hope for the sal-
vation of humanity. Haron’s works are well-read through the world and many
people are moved and have "surrendered to the will of God". The books on sci-
ence and the Quran and other related topics written by Haron have demolished
the notion that empiricism is the only trustworthy and believable source of
knowledge. The Qur’an which ever since its revelation has "mesmerized" multi-
tude of people, such as al-Walid bin Mughairah, the Arabian noble laureate, and
Omar Khattab, for its language, eloquence, and yet again at this modern age, the
Qur’an has shown its miracles in terms of science. Haron’s work in this topic is
very much commendable and should be
read by those who aspire to know Islam
and its teaching.
