Voices For Children



"Children!"
Harun Yahya


Did you ever wonder?
“How did the universe form?”
“How did the sun and the moon begin to exist?”
“Where were you before you were born?”
“How did the seas, trees, and animals come about?”
“How do the colourful and lovely scented fruits that we love, such as bananas, cherries, plums and strawberries, emerge from the dark soil? Who gives them their colours and scents?”
“From where does the tiny bee learn how to make such tasty honey? How does he make a honeycomb that has such smooth corners?”
“Who was the first human?”
“Your mother gave birth to you. But the first human couldn’t have had a mother or a father. So how did the first human all of a sudden appear?”

Do you know what this correct answer is? Everything that you see around you, including yourself, your friends, your parents, the earth, the sun, the food that you love, bananas, cherries, strawberries, colourful roses, violets, beautiful scents, human beings, cats, dogs, ants, bees, horses, birds and butterflies, in short everything was created by Allah.

We asked you, “Did you ever think: from where does the tiny bee learn how to make such tasty honey?” Well, Allah is the One Who teaches the bee how to make honey.

But there are those people who tell stories about these things. They don’t believe that Allah has created everything and they invent stories about it. These people are called “evolutionists” and the story that they tell is called “evolution”.

We want you to learn what is the truth, and that is why we have started by telling you the right things. In the second part of the book, we will show you how those who believe in evolution deceive people. If after you have read this book, someone comes up to you one day and asks you to believe in the theory of evolution, you can then tell him that the theory of evolution is not right, and Allah is the Creator of everything.

(From one of HarunYahya's books)


“On Children”
Kahlil Gibran

Anak-anakmu bukanlah anak-anakmu.
Mereka adalah putra putri dari kehidupan yang merindukan dirinya sendiri,
Mereka datang melaluimu tetapi bukan darimu,
Dan walaupun mereka tinggal bersamamu, mereka bukanlah milikmu.

Kau dapat memberikan kasih-sayangmu tetapi tidak pikiranmu,
Karena mereka mempunyai pemikiran sendiri.

Kau dapat memberikan tempat untuk raga tetapi tidak untuk jiwa mereka,
Karena jiwa mereka menghuni rumah masa depan, yang tak dapat kau kunjungi, bahkan tak juga dalam mimpi-mimpimu.

Kau dapat berupaya keras untuk menjadi seperti mereka, tetapi jangan mencoba membuat mereka sepertimu,
Karena kehidupan tidak berjalan ke belakang juga tak tinggal di masa lalu.

Kau adalah busur dari mana anak-anakmu melesat ke depan sebagai anak panah hidup…
Sang pemanah melihat sasaran di atas jalur di tengah keabadian, dan DIA meliukkanmu dengan kekuatanNYA sehingga anak panahNYA dapat melesat dengan cepat dan jauh.
Biarkanlah liukkanmu di tangan sang pemanah menjadi keceriaan;
Bahkan DIA pun mengasihi anak panah yang terbang, demikian juga DIA mengasihi busur yang mantap.
