Being exposed to unfounded allegations is something that has happened to devout Muslims throughout history. When we read the verses of the Qur'an we see that many slanders have been made against the prophets and the believers beside them. The fact that someone is slandered does not, therefore, mean that he is a bad person. In fact, the slanders issued against Muslims generally stem from their intense and powerful intellectual activities that attract strong reactions from a certain disbelieving circle.

Neither does it make any difference whether someone is slandered a lot or a little. That is to say, a lot of slandering does not show that these accusations are real. As Allah tells us in the Qur'an, the prophets, who were chosen, the most honourable and respected servants of Allah, were much slandered. Therefore the amount of slanders is not of any importance. If someone is only slandered a little that does not mean he is a good person, or if someone is slandered a great deal that does not necessarily mean he is bad. Certainly, what matters is not the amount of slander. Indeed, a high amount of slander to a Muslim may mean that he is having an enormous power and effect and angering a certain disbelieving circle.

We need to look at the allegations made against Mr. Adnan Oktar in this light. With his works, the author is performing a major service in the way of Allah. This devotion and effect in His service naturally makes some Darwinist, materialist atheists extremely upset.
