Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)<br />

he foregoing exposition should have given the reader<br />

a clearer conception of the fact that All alone in timelessness,<br />

man is put to test in a world of images in his<br />

mind, with the original of which he can by no means<br />

be in touch. The verse, " Leave the person I created on his own to<br />

However, as it is stated expressly in the verse, "Blessed be Him to<br />

whom belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and<br />

everything in between them..." (Surat az-Zukhruf: 85), the sole<br />

owner of these possessions is Allah. Were Allah to withdraw this<br />

image from the screen, even for a moment, the human watcher<br />
