Devotion Among Animals - Harun Yahya.pdf

(3894 KB) Pobierz
Unity... Cooperation... Self-sacrifice... Devotion...
These may be regarded as exemplary qualities in all societies.
Every human being would wish to live among individuals who pos-
sess these virtues.
This book deals with just these examples of proper morality.
Yet the main characters in it are not human beings at all...
But can a beetle or bird really know compassion, mercy or selfless
devotion?
Can an animal possess high moral values?
How can we account for a penguin developing so strong a bond
with its mate and young that it will risk its life for them?
Why do antelopes or zebras throw themselves between their young
and pursuing predators?
Each of these questions poses an insurmountable problem for the
theory of evolution, which maintains that life formed by chance
from inanimate matter.
In fact, the truth is clear and evident for all to see: The examples of
altruism, compassion and mercy cited in this book are signs of our
Lord’s infinite compassion and mercy, He Who has created and sus-
tains us and everything else. God is most compassionate and most
merciful, He is the Creator and Sustainer of all living things, and it is
He Who makes animals devoted, compassionate and merciful.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
The 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. His main focus has been the refuta-
tion of Darwinism and materialism, two modern
myths presented under a scientific guise. Harun
Yahya's books appeal to all kinds of readers, Muslims and non-Muslims
alike, regardless of their age, race, or nationality, for they focus on one
objective: to broaden the readers’ perspective by encouraging them to
think about a number of critical issues, such as the existence of God and His
unity, and to display the decrepit foundations and perverted works of god-
less systems.
TO THE READER
A special chapter is assigned to the collapse of the theory of evo-
lution because this theory constitutes the basis of all anti-spirit-
ual philosophies. Since Darwinism rejects the fact of creation—
and therefore, Allah's Existence—over the last 140 years it has
caused many people to abandon their faith or fall into doubt. It
is therefore an imperative service, a very important duty to
show everyone that this theory is a deception. Since some read-
ers may find the chance to read only one of our book, we think
it appropriate to devote a chapter to summarize this subject.
All the author's books explain faith-related issues in light of
Qur'anic verses, and invite readers to learn Allah's words and
to live by them. All the subjects concerning Allah's verses are
explained so as to leave no doubt or room for questions in the
reader's mind. The books' sincere, plain, and fluent style en-
sure that everyone of every age and from every social group
can easily understand them. Thanks to their effective, lucid
narrative, they can be read at a one sitting. Even those who rig-
orously reject spirituality are influenced by the facts these
books document and cannot refute the truthfulness of their
contents.
This and all the other books by the author can be read individ-
ually, or discussed in a group. Readers eager to profit from the
books will find discussion very useful, letting them relate their
reflections and experiences to one another.
In addition, it will be a great service to Islam to contribute to
the publication and reading of these books, written solely for
the pleasure of Allah. The author's books are all extremely con-
vincing. For this reason, to communicate true religion to oth-
ers, one of the most effective methods is encouraging them to
read these books.
We hope the reader will look through the reviews of his other
books at the back of this book. His rich source material on faith-
related issues is very useful, and a pleasure to read.
In these books, unlike some other books, you will not find the
author's personal views, explanations based on dubious sour-
ces, styles that are unobservant of the respect and reverence
due to sacred subjects, nor hopeless, pessimistic arguments
that create doubts in the mind and deviations in the heart.
