                                        ABOUT THE AUTHOR
                                  T he author, who writes under the pen-name
                                  Harun Yahya, was born in Ankara in 1956.
                                  He studied arts at Istanbul’s Mimar Sinan
                                  University and philosophy at Istanbul
                                  University. Since the 1980s, the author has
                                  published many books on political, faith-
                                  related and scientific issues. Some of the
                                  books of the author have been translated into
            more than 20 languages and published in the countries concerned.
            Harun Yahya’s books appeal to all people, Muslims and non-
            Muslims alike, regardless of their age, race, and nationality, as they
            center around one goal: to open the readers’ mind by encouraging
            them to think about some critical issues such as the existence of God
            and His unity, and to display the decrepit foundations and
            perverted works of godless systems.
