HARUN YAHYA (ADNAN OKTAR)
You can never find a man who has resisted ageing and death.
This is impossible because man has no influence whatsoever on his

end. This truth is revealed in the Qur'an thus:
Every self will taste death. You will be paid your wages in full
on the Day of Resurrection. Anyone who is distanced from
the Fire and admitted to the Garden has triumphed. The life
of the world is just the enjoyment of delusion. (Surah Al
'Imran: 185)
