Now writing under the pen-name of HARUN YAHYA,
he was born in Ankara in 1956. Having completed his pri-
mary and secondary education in Ankara, he studied arts
at Istanbul's Mimar Sinan University and philosophy at
Istanbul University. Since the 1980s, he has published
many books on political, scientific, and faith-related is-
sues. Harun Yahya is well-known as the author of impor-
tant works disclosing the imposture of evolutionists,
their invalid claims, and the dark liaisons between
Darwinism and such bloody ideologies as fascism and
communism.
Harun Yahya's works, translated into 57 different lan-
guages, constitute a collection for a total of more than
45,000 pages with 30,000 illustrations.
His pen-name is a composite of the names Harun
(Aaron) and Yahya (John), in memory of the two es-
teemed prophets who fought against their people's lack
of faith. The Prophet's seal on his books' covers is sym-
bolic and is linked to their contents. It represents the
Qur'an (the Final Scripture) and Prophet Muhammad
(may God bless him and grant him peace), last of the
prophets. Under the guidance of the Qur'an and the
Sunnah (teachings of the Prophet), the author makes it
his purpose to disprove each fundamental tenet of irreli-
gious ideologies and to have the "last word," so as to
completely silence the objections raised against religion.
He uses the seal of the final Prophet (may God bless him
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
and grant him peace), who attained ultimate wisdom and
moral perfection, as a sign of his intention to offer the last
word.
All of Harun Yahya's works share one single goal: to
convey the Qur'an's message, encourage readers to con-
sider basic faith-related issues such as God's existence
and unity and the Hereafter; and to expose irreligious sys-
tems' feeble foundations and perverted ideologies.
Harun Yahya enjoys a wide readership in many coun-
tries, from India to America, England to Indonesia, Poland
to Bosnia, Spain to Brazil, Malaysia to Italy, France to
Bulgaria and Russia. Some of his books are availa
