ALLAH IS UNFETTERED BY TIME AND SPACE
(From Mr. Adnan Oktar's live interview on Dem TV, October 30th, 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: We can understand the artistry of Allah with science. For instance, the Big Bang Theory was grasped through science. Almighty Allah tells us in the Qur’an that, “I have created from nothing,” and that He also created time and space with a beginning. But science confirms this independently. We look at the Big Bang theory and the universe comes into being from something with zero volume and infinite density, out of emptiness, of nothing. Look something with zero volume and infinite density. What does the Qur’an say? Allah says that He “created from nothing.” Zero volume means nothing. They have come round to what the Qur’an says. Almighty Allah says that He later created time and space. People ask, “What was there before Allah?” Or “Who created Allah?” Do you know who can ask that question? A finite being can ask it. Someone created after time. Allah says He created it afterwards. There was no time before. Allah says, “I created time for you.” There is no time for Allah. Time is a concept for us.
Look, you have just heard a click. I have now made another click. A belief arose in your brain when you compared the two. That belief is known as time. There is no time in free space. Look at Einstein or Max Planck, they all set it out, but people generally fail to understand since they use complicated scientific terminology. But it is very clear, not complicated at all. Time needs to exist in order to be able to ask “What existed before Allah?” People sometimes find themselves in a quandary since time was created subsequently. That is why people An entity confined to time and space can talk about “before” or “after.” But there is no before or after for Almighty Allah, Who is unfettered by time and space. In other words, there is one single moment. must bear that in mind when thinking about things concerning the existence of Allah. That is the answer to the question “Who created Allah?” We can say this since time was created afterward. But if we were to step outside time we would immediately grasp the answer. But we cannot understand since we are fettered by time.
