Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)
conclusion that the hereafter must also exist. Allah creates the
human being, lets him live his life, gives him countless blessings
and shows him great compassion and mercy. And of course
those who give thanks for this and behave properly will not be
regarded the same as those who are ungrateful. That is because
Allah is infinitely affectionate and merciful toward His servants.
As the verse "Every soul shall have a taste of death" (Surat
Al-Anbiya: 35) makes clear, everyone will inevitably depart this
world after a short time. Allah ends one's life after allowing him
to live for a certain period of time. This period is described in the
verse "Did We not give you long enough life so that he that
would should receive admonition? And (moreover) the warner
came to you." (Surah Fatir: 37). Human beings do not cease to
exist with death, but start their real lives.
It is very obvious to the thinking person that life in this
world is temporary and simply a sample of the real life. All the
beauties in the world are temporary and have many deficiencies.
The most good-looking human being can keep his good appear-
ance only for one or two decades. As he gets older and older, his
physical appearance changes, his skin becomes puckered, his
body loses its shape and he starts to suffer many kinds of ill-
nesses related to aging. It is not necessary to get older to witness
the shortcomings of the life of this world. His body mechanisms
are built with many weaknesses. If he does not take a shower for
a few days, his body will begin to smell very unpleasant. No mat-
ter how attractive and charming he might look, he will live
through the biggest weakness and use the lavatory as every
human being does.
