Islam And Buddhism.pdf

hroughout the world, but especially in America and Europe, some

individuals have been intrigued by Buddhism, spurred on mostly

by the superstitious, secret, and awesome qualities they perceive in

this religion. Generally, those who adopt Buddhism do so not

because they believe in the logic of its philosophy, but because they're attracted

by its "mystical" atmosphere, drawn to this superstition because it is presented

to them as far more different and awesome than any other philosophy they

encounter in their normal lives. Books and films about Buddhism depict

Buddha as the source of a great mystery. Likewise, Buddhist priests are

presented as possessors of secret, arcane knowledge. They fascinate Westerners

with their exotic robes, shaved heads, style of worship, elaborate ceremonies,

dwelling places, meditation, yoga and other such strange practices.

This book examines Buddhism's superstitious character in the light of the

Qur'an and lets you see clearly this superstitious religion's more perverse

aspects. When we consider Buddhism's appearance, its scriptures, general

beliefs, style of worship in the light of the Qur'an, we begin to see that its basic

philosophy is founded on very deviant doctrines. Indeed, its worship contains

strange practices leading its devotees to worship idols of stone and clay.

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

refutation 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 godless systems.

TO THE READER

A special chapter is assigned to the collapse of the theory of evolution because

this theory constitutes the basis of all anti-spiritual philosophies. Since

Darwinism rejects the fact of creation—and therefore, God'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 readers 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 God's words and to live by them. All the subjects

concerning God'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 under-

stand them. Thanks to their effective, lucid narrative, they can be read at a one

sitting. Even those who rigorously 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 individually, or dis-

cussed in a group. Readers eager to profit from the books will find discussion

very useful, letting them relate their reflections and experiences to one an-

other.

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 God. The au-

thor's books are all extremely convincing. For this reason, to communicate true

religion to others, 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 per-

sonal views, explanations based on dubious sources, styles that are unobser-

vant of the respect and reverence due to sacred subjects, nor hopeless,

pessimistic arguments that create doubts in the mind and deviations in the

heart.
