(From Mr. Adnan Oktar’s live interview on Gaziantep Olay TV and Mavi Karadeniz TV, September 8th, 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: Events are taking place everywhere. I said they would. For instance, I said there would be attacks on us, didn’t I?
OKTAR BABUNA: Yes, you did.
CİHAT GÜNDOĞDU: Yes.
ADNAN OKTAR: Yes, in this recent period.
OKTAR BABUNA: You said that a few programs back.
ADNAN OKTAR: Yes, a few programs back. I said there would be attacks against me and that major events would take place. And look, there are floods everywhere today, and these are important events of the End Times. Rasulullah (saas) says there will be terrible disasters such as earthquakes, floods and tsunami in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as). He says these will continue unabated until the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as). In other words, there will be much wisdom and good in these events that continue happening. Of course I ask Allah to help my brothers whose homes have collapsed. Brothers of mine have died and been martyred, and I ask Allah that they rest in peace, insha’Allah. May Allah bestow health, happiness and peace on those who remain, but they can rest easy in the sense that these are all portents of the End Times. Allah causes these events in order to draw people closer to Him and make them love and think of Him, and they will continue to take place. They will continue unabated until around 2014. At the end, however, my nation will be very happy, and I say that quite explicitly. The Turkish-Islamic Union will be set up and we will experience true love. There will be the brightness of love in people’s eyes, and we will see love in people’s eyes wherever we look. In the same way we are delighted to see flowers everywhere when we enter a garden, so we will see love in people’s faces when we go out on the streets. We will see trust and happiness.
