Answer

In the Name of Allaah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salaamu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullaahi wa-barakaatuh.

Harun Yahya (ghafarallaahu lahu wa hadaah) is not a reliable author. He holds many beliefs that are contrary to the beliefs of the Ahlus Sunnah. You may refer to Fatwa #27701 for further details regarding him.

And Allaah Ta’aala Knows Best.
