The Knights of the Temple—or Templars, for short—an organization that arose in the Middle Ages, but whose activities and supporters changed over the course of time. The Knights Templar first emerged after the First Crusade, rapidly adopted a political identity and became one of the greatest financial powers of the ages. Initially portraying themselves as devout, they made use of the prestige and esteem they thus acquired. But statements from the Templar trials that began in 1327 revealed the organization’s true face: Shortly after its formation, it had adopted a form of satanic teaching and also acquired one of the greatest fortunes in Europe. How did the Templars amass this financial power? How vast was their wealth? And now, who controls that sinister fortune they amassed, and to what ends is it being used? To answer these questions, this book reconsiders the Knights Templars—whose history was dealt with in our earlier book on the subject—and their successors, the Freemasons, and shows how the Templars continue to be financed by illicit funds.

Throughout their entire lives, everyone is at war with an enemy, the extent of whose strength and influence they perhaps fail to fully comprehend. He constantly invites mankind to commit evil, and many people he uses without them even being aware of it. Those who are constantly in conflict with others, who always believe that violence is the answer, who take pleasure in brutality, murder, chaos and anarchy, in short, those who harm the peace and security of the world, have lost the war against this foe, whether they realize it or not, and have fallen under his control. This most dangerous enemy is the Devil.

As you watch television, read the newspaper, or pass by somewhere, you run into many issues which you would rather not hear about or see. People abandoned to hunger, murders, massacres, the oppressed unable to stand up for their rights, discord, curses, insulting and demeaning language, and general unrest, for which the blame can be attributed to conflicts of interests, and tyrannies and so on... There is no doubt that you, like everyone else, would like to live in a society where people are committed to peace and security, and where people hesitate to oppress or harm one another. Such an environment, ensuring a structure of relationships shaped by respect and love, is everyone's dream. However, hoping that one day things will spontaneously change for the better would only be wishful thinking. Therefore, those who are sincerely willing to live in a society where peace, security and freedom prevail, should waste no time in taking action and be willing to make certain sacrifices. This book is a call to those who want goodness to prevail, bidding them to engage in good deeds and ally with the good. However, this call is not made to someone or some people somewhere out there; but directly concerns you.

Driven by pride and arrogance, man forgets that he is solely a servant of Allah. The first representative of arrogance is Satan, who rebelled against Allah. Throughout history, people who out of their pride worshipped themselves, have been mimicking the arrogance of Satan.

The Qur’an has been revealed to us so that we may read and ponder. Basic concepts in the Qur’an is a useful resource prepared as a guide to thinking. Some basic Islamic concepts like the soul, conscience, wisdom, loyalty, submission to God, brotherhood, modesty, prayer, patience, ascribing partners to God are discussed in the light of Qur’anic verses.

In the light of recent scientific discoveries, the theory of evolution is in a state of utter collapse. But just one event that Darwinists are unable to explain demolishes the very foundations of their theory—the variety and complexity of life all over the world, exhibited with such magnificence, some 530 million years ago, now known as the Cambrian Explosion. In an environment where only single-celled organisms existed before, large numbers of highly complex living species suddenly came into being, with no trace of any supposed forerunners, as if to firmly refute the invalidity of the theory of evolution. So persuasive is the fossil record, and so dramatic this phenomenon from a scientific viewpoint, that scientists refer to the Cambrian Explosion as “the Biological Big Bang.” They continue to search for as yet undiscovered pre-Cambrian fossils that might be the ancestors of these startling life forms. Yet all their efforts keep pointing to one single explanation: A sudden, flawless, widely differing and complex creation. This book has compiled details of this incomparable era, and its compelling evidence that refutes the theory of evolution.

In order to fully appreciate the marvels in any construction or invention, one first needs to assemble detailed information about it and how it must have come to be. This holds true for the human body  which possesses many marvelous features in addition to the perfection of its external appearance. Without learning and reflecting on these details, you cannot come to a full realization of the miracles occurring within you. The fact is, however, extraordinary, near-instantaneous events take place inside your body whenever you fear that a car is about to run into you, when you catch the flu, suffer a rise in blood pressure, or even greet a friend. Molecules invisible to the naked eye work like honeybees inside your cells, performing in a matter of seconds or even microseconds actions that are so complex and require such sophisticated expertise that even cellular biologists have some difficulty in comprehending them—much less explaining them. Almighty God, Creator of the entire universe and all living things and human beings without doubt created these molecules, with their flawless systems and breathtaking abilities, for a particular purpose. For that reason, it behooves anyone possessed of reason and good conscience to learn and reflect on the miracles in God's creation. This book has been written to set forth certain proofs of the existence of our Lord, the Compassionate and Merciful, and the perfection of His creation, in a manner that every reader can easily comprehend.

This book deals with how the theory of evolution is invalidated by scientific findings and experiments in a concise and simple language.

The Theory of Evolution has been around for 150 years, and has had a great influence on the way people look at the world. This book considers the invalidity of the theory of evolution at a lay level. Evolutionists’ claims on certain matters are responded to with questions that are frequently asked, the meanings of which are not often understood. The answers provided in this book can be found in more scientific detail in other Harun Yahya books such as The Evolution Deceit, and Darwinism Refuted.

For the last 150 years, the theory of evolution has been portrayed everywhere—from school textbooks to scholarly publications—as scientific fact. But it actually stands on highly unsound foundations. Every claim that evolutionists have made over the last 150 years has later been refuted by science. Evolutionists have finally abandoned trying to prove their theory and instead, have begun looking for ways to prop it up by such methods as propaganda, demagogy, and outright deception. Their aim is no longer to defend a scientific theory, but rather to persist in promoting this nonsense which is supposed to be scientific so as to maintain their materialist, atheistic world views. In this book, the theory of evolution’s basic claims are refuted with scientific evidence. It demonstrates, using concrete examples with which you will be quite familiar, why it is impossible for new species to emerge through evolution.

The first part of this booklet, which includes summaries of all the works of Harun Yahya, is made up of striking passages highlighting the basic ideas in Harun Yahya’s works on various topics. In this part, you will witness the sincere style of the author, based on the Qur’an. Anyone who reads these books seriously and carefully will soon gain a deep insight into the true nature of the world he lives in.

Consider the person who lives his entire life avoiding responsibility. One who thinks only of feeding himself, of only his own future, house, car and other property … That which unfolds around him, the tragedies and injustices that take place all over the world, the bloodshed, anguish and hunger suffered by others, does not concern him at all. He is indifferent to plight of those who have been unjustly attacked, or the child who can find not even a crumb to eat. There are many who think that if they can avoid thinking of these concerns, they themselves can be at peace. Although they find themselves in a cruel world, this does not trouble them or affect their consciences. Now, you may be thinking, “Yes, but what can I do?” But, think how the world would be if everyone thought that way … There would not be a single person to battle for good against the evils of the world. In fact, in every period of history, there have been those who fulfilled this duty. They came out fearlessly, trying to promote good in the world and keep it alive. The basic characteristics to be found among them were a fear (and respect) of Allah, listening to their conscience, courage, outspokenness, and a willingness to accept responsibility. True courage, as outlined in the Qur’an, is showing determination in respecting all of the limits that Allah set for humanity, without exception, and without hesitation, fearing none other than Allah, and not deviating from this course whatever the circumstances or the conditions may be.

Ruling over the world of science in the 19th century, the materialist philosophy had proposed that the universe is an uncontrolled heap of matter that existed since infinite time. The discoveries made in the twentieth century, however, entirely refuted this materialist claim. Today, science has proven that the universe had a beginning, that is, it was created from nothing. With this beginning called the Big Bang, both matter and time were created from nothing. Moreover, the discoveries made in the last 30-40 years have revealed that the physical balances of the universe are organized in an extraordinarily precise way. All physical balances of the universe from the rate of the explosion (Big Bang), to the values of the four basic forces of physics, from the nuclear reactions in stars to the structure of atom, are tailored to support human life. The structure of the earth, its place in space, and its atmosphere are all created just as they have to be. The physical and chemical properties of atoms such as carbon and oxygen, or molecules such as water are ordered to make human life possible. Shortly put, there is no room for coincidence in the universe. The entire universe is created according to a certain purpose and in a glorious equilibrium, harmony and order. This is the exalted and flawless Creation of Allah, "the Lord of All Worlds". Allah states this fact as follows in the Qur’an: Your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then settled Himself firmly on the Throne. He covers the day with the night and, each pursuing the other urgently; and the sun and moon and stars are subservient to His command. Both creation and command belong to Him. Blessed be Allah, the Lord of all worlds. (Surat al-Araf: 54)

The reason why "The Dark Clan" has been chosen as the title of this book is that it describes the social structure which organizes the moral corruption in the modern world and its network of extensions in all countries. In this book you will read about the structure of the clan and the methods it resorts to in order to ensure its survival. It must not be forgotten that the ideological struggle to be waged against the black clan is the responsibility of all people of good conscience and common sense.

The goal of Darwinism is to get people to reject the obvious fact of Creation, which is clearly evident and assured, and to believe in the myth embodied in the theory of evolution. When someone falls under the spell of Darwinism, he also comes under the control of those who support the theory of evolution. Darwinism, and the theory of evolution, are incredible and illogical beliefs; they are like the proposition that black is a chance byproduct of the changes that white undergoes, over time. But over the past 150 years, countless individuals have adopted these ideas passionately, and nothing can convince them to give them up. All the scientific evidence and plain facts in the world haven't been able to free them from this spell's influence. It is as if they've been bewitched to believe that it is raining when the sun is out and to insist that they are getting wet. The purpose of this book is to rescue people from Darwinism's influence by revealing the exact ways in which it effects its persuasions and by uncovering the efforts that Darwinists make to prevent this illusion from losing its power. At the same time, it guides the readers to employ their own conscience and intelligence to consider—and understand—the self-evident fact of Creation. Anyone who's been rescued from the spell of Darwinism and grasps the reality of Creation will also understand that Allah, the Lord of all the worlds, has created him as well. This fact is the greatest import, because the sole purpose for the world's coming into existence is so that for people may come to know Allah and serve Him.

You will most certainly encounter the Day of Judgment, when the universe will face its death and the heavens, the Earth and everything in between will be destroyed. You will see that all of your possessions, even your body, will desert you. And then you will be created anew. You must use the opportunity given to you by Allah while you are still in this world to obtain the reward, happiness, and peace awaiting you in the Hereafter, which cannot be compared to anything on Earth. What you have to do for that is to believe in Allah and the certainty of the Hereafter and be thankful for all the blessings that He gives to you. The contents of this book have been designed to help you extract yourself from your everyday occupation and desires for a while so that you can see the true purpose for your life. It seeks to inform you in advance about the Day of Judgment that you will most certainly encounter. This is an important warning, because everybody who ignores this Day and its aftermath will witness unbearable events on the Day of Judgment and experience endless hardship in the Hereafter.

When we think of a superficial person as understood by most people, generally we imagine an individual ignorant of the rules of etiquette; one who is uneducated, uninformed, immoderate and who often does not know how to behave in certain situations. But what this book dwells on is not the kind of superficiality as generally understood; it discusses, in terms of religious morality, how superficiality can become a spiritual state. The superficiality examined here is a great danger that, unless Allah wills otherwise, can draw a person into Hell. Superficiality infects a person’s behavior and thinking when he does not expand his spirit according to the moral teaching of the Qur’an and is unwilling to draw closer to Allah and seek His favor. It should be remembered that those who live debased by superficiality are still responsible for their lives. Such people who live far from the Qur’an and the subtleties of its moral teaching, pursuing superficial ideals, do not consider that they will be held accountable for their lives. And when they see the angels of death coming to take their souls, they will awaken up to the profound error that they have been living. But this awakening comes too late. This is because the purpose of human creation is for them to live their lives practicing a morality that is pleasing to Allah, and the worst possible time for them to realize that purpose is at the moment of death, when this life is about to be left behind.

Darwin said: "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down." When you read this book, you will see that Darwin's theory has absolutely broken down, just as he feared it would. Creatures in nature have extremely complex body systems. A thorough examination of the feathers of a bird, the sonar system of a bat or the wing structure of a fly reveals amazingly complex designs. These designs clearly indicate that all living things are flawlessly created by Allah. The theory of evolution advanced by Charles Darwin in the 19th century denies creation and suggests that design in nature came into existence “spontaneously and accidentally” through natural processes. According to the theory of evolution, the basic mechanism of this phenomenon is “gradual development.” Scientific developments in the 20th century, however, have shown that designs in creatures cannot be attributed to “gradual development.” Living bodies consist of organs made up of intricate components, the absence of even one of which would render that organ useless. Even these “irreducibly complex” organs alone clearly prove that life cannot be accounted for by natural causes but was flawlessly created by Allah. In this book, you will see the proofs of Allah’s perfect creation.

Fascism and communism, which made humanity suffer dark times, are considered to be opposed ideas. However, these ideologies are fed from the same source, on the grounds of which they can attract masses to their side. This source is the materialist philosophy and its adaptation to nature, which is Darwin’s theory of evolution. The acknowledgement of the scientific invalidity of this theory that serves as a basis for cruel dictators and vicious ideological trends will bring about the end of all these detrimental ideologies.

The signs in the Qur’an and the extensive references to the End Times provided by the Hadith literature brings us to a very important conclusion. In this book the End Times is examined in the light of verses and hadiths. It is clear that the signs in question have now started to appear one after another, just as described in these references. The advent of these signs heralded fourteen centuries ago are great occurrences that increase believers’ faith in and loyalty to Allah. It is surely not a coincidence that, in such a short period of time, all of these signs appeared one after another. These signs are good news to Allah’s servants.

According to Charles Darwin, small genetic differences that arose in living things over the course of time transformed species into new ones—and that is how all of life came into existence. But research in the intervening 150 years has revealed a major error. Branches of science such as population genetics and comparative biology show that there is no evolutionary family tree as Darwinism maintained. On the contrary, genetic variations within any one species never exceed a specific limit. Therefore, no species evolves into any other. One after another, all examples of supposedly evolving species have all been proven to be mistaken. The theory of evolution, already discredited by such fields as biology and paleontology, is now undergoing an inevitable collapse. This book reveals the theory’s hopeless position in the face of the extraordinary variety of life on Earth, and demonstrates that each of the millions of different species on our planet is yet another proof of God’s sublime creation.

In 1999, the National Academy of Sciences, USA, published a booklet called Science and Creationism: A View from the National Academy of Sciences. The aim of this booklet was to respond to the creation/evolution debate by bringing together “the most important proofs” of evolution. The booklet was regarded as a most important source by evolutionists from all over the world. Evolutionist circles published the text free of charge on their Internet sites.

Throughout history, when the true religion is explained to them and when they are told to abandon the wrong path if they want to avoid spending eternity in hell, people who did not believe in Allah and the Hereafter refused to do so. To prove that they were following the correct path, the unbelievers mocked those who adhered to the true religion. All unbelievers, however, are trapped in a great error, for they can never realize their goals regardless of what they say or do. In the Qur’an, Allah reveals the good news that the true faith will always be supreme and that the unbelievers’ efforts will be fruitless. Such people should know that mocking the believers, as well as making provocative and slanderous comments about religious morality, are only leading them toward endless torment. This book explains these truths and describes the trap into which unbelievers fall when they try to mock others. In addition, the concept of mockery is examined from different angles and is explained in light of the Qur’an.

For some people the theory of evolution or Darwinism has only scientific connotations, with seemingly no direct implication in their daily lives. This is, of course, a common misunderstanding. Far beyond just being an issue within the framework of the biological sciences, the theory of evolution constitutes the underpinning of a deceptive philosophy that has held sway over a large number of people: Materialism. Materialist philosophy, which accepts only the existence of matter and presupposes man to be "a heap of matter", asserts that he is no more than an animal, with "conflict" the sole rule of his existence. Traces of this philosophy, which has a lot to answer as regards man-made disasters of the last two centuries, can be found in every ideology that perceives differences among people as a  "reason for conflict". The theory of evolution, or Darwinism, comes in handy at this point by completing the jigsaw puzzle. It provides the myth that materialism is a scientific idea. However, that basis is rotten. Modern scientific discoveries reveal over and over again that the popular belief associating Darwinism with science is false. Scientific evidence refutes Darwinism comprehensively and reveals that the origin of our existence is not evolution but creation. God has created the universe, all living things and man.

The aim in compiling this anthology is to let readers easily obtain information on all matters concerning evolution and to have access to the most accurate facts. You can thus acquire the most practical, accurate and reliable information regarding all the terms and concepts you may encounter regarding the theory of evolution in the press, in magazines, books, TV programs and other media. The hypothetical claims made by those who advocate the theory of evolution—and how their assertions are invalidated by the scientific facts and recently discovered evidence—are set out in an encyclopedic format, under alphabetical headings.

This book is based on other works by the same author dealing with the collapse of the theory of evolution.

The Prophet Jesus (pbuh), whom Allah supported with superior wisdom, is set apart from the other Prophets in several aspects, among them that he, by Allah's Will, spoke even in the cradle, and that he was the vehicle for countless miracles while he was in this world. That his status is different also can be deduced from the fact that he was raised to Allah's Presence and that in the Qur'an Allah indicates strongly his second coming. The Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) second coming is a very great gift of Allah for all humanity. For the first time ever in their lives, all people alive at that time will see a Prophet of superior human qualities. While reading this book, the reader will come to know of the Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) miraculous life and realize that we live in a very special time. Given that his second coming will be an extraordinary, miraculous, and metaphysical event that will affect the whole world, all believers should prepare and mobilize to welcome him in the best possible way. All of the signs indicate that the second coming will take place soon, so there is no time to waste.

Have you ever thought about the vastness of the universe in which we live? Have you ever wondered how the endless universe we live in came into existence? How did the Earth Sun, Moon and stars come into being?Did you know that a very delicate balance exist in the universe providing exactly the right conditions for life? In this book, you will take an amazing journey in which you will learn the answers to these questions. As you read this book, you will see that our universe and all the living things there in are created in the most perfect way by our Creator, Allah, so that we may live in it in the most peaceful and happy way.

In the hadiths of our Prophet, there are references to an auspicious period when the morals of the Qur’an will prevail in the universe. Because our Prophet used to depict this age by paradise-like attributes, this period came to be called the "Golden Age". The main attributes of this age are abundance in all products and possessions; the establishment of trust and justice, peace and bliss; the employment of all kinds of technological developments for the comfort, pleasure, and peace of people; the absence of any people in need; the granting to everyone of everything he wants. In this book, the environment in which people will live in the Golden Age and the magnificent beauties people will experience are told with relevant quotations from the Qur’an.

Racism has inflicted terrible suffering and disasters on mankind. The 19th and 20th centuries were rife with killings perpetrated by racist regimes and organizations that oppressed and slaughtered innocent people for the sake of their own ideological obsessions.   From time to time, racists of different nations established secret collaborations. Beginning in the 1930s, the Third Reich—which spilt so much blood in the name of German racism—, and radical Zionism—which did the same in the Middle East in the name of Jewish racism—forged a secret alliance. At first sight, this may seem surprising, yet these two ideologies, both believing that different races and beliefs could not co-exist and that there needed to be a constant state of conflict between races and nations, embarked on a very real collaboration.   Examinations of this subject are typically accused of being anti-Semitic. Yet as this eye-opening book demonstrates, anti-Semitism as an ideology is at odds with religion, and for a Muslim to be anti-Semitic is absolutely impossible. We hope to see anti-Semitic movements such as Nazism, and ideologies engaging in racism in the name of any ethnic group, such as radical Zionism, all vanish, giving way for a world order based on justice, wherein all nations, races, and beliefs can live in peace.
