76 MR. ADNAN OKTAR'S REMARKS ON DESTINY, PREORDINATION AND THE FACT THAT ALLAH IS EVERYWHERE ADNAN OKTAR: The subjects on which people concentrate most are those such as the existence of Allah, death, what will happen in the Hereafter, and destiny. In other words, no matter how much they try not to let on, this is the subject that occupies their brains day and night. That is because every night, there is a film on the TV about someone dying. Even if a person sees a dead insect, it would remind him of death, and when he thinks about himself it reminds him of death again. People are very troubled when it comes to destiny. There are still objections raised, even though I have talked about it at such length, they are still saying things. They say that Allah has created destiny, of course. There is predestination, but there is also partial free will, they say, in other words a very small power unique to us that Allah—may Allah forbid—cannot control, which belongs to us. In other

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) words, Allah does not know what we will do, or He knows, but only vaguely (Surely Allah is beyond that). And when we do something Allah shows us two paths, but cannot know which we will go down. We choose that path with our own free will (Surely Allah is beyond that). And that comes up as a surprise information, may Allah forbid, for Allah. That is to say something emerges that He encounters for the first time, and Allah thus tests us, and He understands accordingly (Surely Allah is beyond that). There is no such thing at all. Both preordination and partial free will are created by Allah Himself. Look, there exists just one single moment. What does a single moment in time mean? It means an infinitely short space of time. What we call "an instant" is an infinitely short time. Allah has created and completed infinite before and an infinite after within that infinitely brief moment. There is nothing to be done. There is nothing one can do. So how is that partial free will of yours not part of destiny? Consequently, such egocentric people who regard themselves—may Allah forbid—as divine, 77
