Aslaamolaikum akhi

I can't confirm this.. however, my Turkish friend said he claimed to be the mehdi or something.. and he only used to teach rich kids and they are the ones who fund him.

Jazak Allah

I will watch out for him, he has done great works on evolution and communism and other religions so I will continue to read them, but will be careful

I agree brother he has done some very good work, however 'my friend said' that some of his work is dodgy so becareful eg, those concerning religion.

Don't listen to those rumours, they're baseless.

Harun Yahya is a person of Allah, he would not dare to be so arrogant to claim himself the Mahdi. He's a true servant of Allah, and all he's doing is helping others gain insight to Islam.

He wants to get rid of ignorance.

Insha Allah, I really hope that is the case, he surely would have said in public that he is the mahdi, also I can't remember reading him say anywhere that anyone who thinks ALLAH is above his creation are fools.

Insha Allah these are baseless comments by Bilal Phillips

Is Harun Yahya suspicious? Of whom and for what, I don't know. That's something you'll have to ask him...

You want to know if you should be suspicious of Harun Yahya? Well, let's put it this way... I wouldn't leave him alone with my wife and kids.

His real name is Adrian Oktar and he is widely reported as having been arrested for multiple scandals including drug possession, prostitution and other types of organised crime.

Legend has it, he persuaded Turkish authorities to block certain websites on the basis of blasphemy. As it happens, sites which expose Harun Yahya's use of false evidence in his written attack on the science of evolution.

It is not clear if Adrian Oktar has written all of his own books but some people point out the possibility he has used ghost writers to pen works under his name.

In the last twenty years, he seems to have had more than any man's fair share of brushes with law enforcement and borne allegations for a number of very heinous crimes and for making serious threats; some of which he has actually been found guilty and convicted of.

The subjects of 'his writings' often involve the pontification of unproven conspiracy theories and the use of false 'scientific' claims. Presumably in order to gain muslim support, whilst taking advantage of some peoples' tendency to believe unfounded superstitions.

I have read several of his short books, which are offered free to the public. I can honestly say, I have never before encountered so much absurdity and pontificating rubbish all coming from one person.

If Oktar is not a scientific ignoramus, (and it would appear so) then he is surely hoping to pull the wool over the eyes of less critical thinkers either for the attainment of his own glory or perhaps some other ulterior motive. Either way, it's not looking good.

In every instance of arrest and suspicion of crimes - naturally, Oktar has protested his innocence and some people might assume he has been 'framed' but it raises the question of how one man can have so many serious and well documented indictments surrounding his name.
