All the important events of the End Times will take place in Istanbul. The hadiths of our Prophet (saas) herald that the Mahdi (pbuh) will emerge from Istanbul.

Istanbul is a very blessed, holy city. Prophet Moses met Hz. Khidr in Istanbul. Tombs of many companions are in Istanbul.

Istanbul is a very special, very historical city. God prepared Istanbul specially for the movement of Mahdi.

Incorrectly applied urbanization in Istanbul erases aesthetics of the city entirely. On the contrary, the city should be expanded outwards and the Bosphorus should be made completely green.

A document in the British archives (no# CAB/23-35, 11 Jan. 1920) shows that there was a plan of the British deep state to make Istanbul a separate country.

Our Prophet foretold that the Mahdi will appear with the holy relics. The holy relics are in Istanbul. The Mahdi will appear in Istanbul.

The term “junction between the two seas” (Qur’an, 18/61) in the story of Khidr indicates to Istanbul. The story of Khidr refers to the Mahdi movement.

The hadiths of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) states that the Mahdi will definitely appear even if there is one day left for the Last Day to break. The fact that the Mahdi will appear in Istanbul has been stated in the Jewish resources as well.

Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) has explicitly stated that the Mahdi will appear in Istanbul.

Jews say that Moshiach (Mahdi) will come from somewhere outside of Jerusalem, that they will wait by the gates of Rum, that is to say, that he will be in Istanbul.

Istanbul is a sacred city. God adorned it beautifully with hills, mosques, with a magnificent strait, and the tombs of companions.

It is also accepted in Judaism that the Mahdi will appear in Istanbul. Ancient Judaic sources relate that the Mahdi will appear in Istanbul.

Bediuzzaman says; “I would have come to Istanbul even if I were in Mecca or Medina.” He says; “Turkey is the center of the Islamic Union.” Bediuzzaman has always implemented a policy based on Istanbul.

There will not be a big earthquake in Istanbul, until Hijri 1506. There might be minor quakes but a destructive earthquakes will not take place until 1506, insha'Allah.

There will not be another earthquake in Istanbul until Hijri 1506, insha'Allah. After Hijri 1506 it will be like hell until Hijri 1545 anyway. There will be earthquakes, disasters, troubles, civil wars, coups. There will be a fascist uprising and a communist uprising and that will cover the whole world. There will be a blood bath.

Istanbul has been conquered specifically for Mahdi, by Almighty God and given to the Ottomans. That is the sole purpose of it. God created the destiny in that way for the appearance of Mahdi. Istanbul has been adorned like a bride for the coming of the Mahdi.

Istanbul is a gift given to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Because Istanbul is entrusted to the Mahdi (pbuh) no one can lay hands on it.

Istanbul is entrusted to us insha'Allah. It is entrusted to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and his students. Since we are the students of the Mahdi (pbuh) Istanbul is entrusted to us insha'Allah. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) would not leave us insha'Allah and we would not leave Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).

Sultan Mehmet, the Conqueror was waiting for the Mahdi (pbuh) as well. Sultan Suleiman, the Magnificent waited for the Mahdi, they all waited. They have decorated Istanbul with mosques, with palaces just because the Mahdi (pbuh) will be coming. They have decorated Istanbul, our forefathers have prepared Istanbul for the Mahdi (pbuh).

Sultan Mehmet, the Conqueror conquered Istanbul to prepare it for the Mahdi (pbuh), for the approval of Allah. Scholars, saints, they all knew that Mahdi will appear in Istanbul. In order for Mahdi to work comfortably in Istanbul, our ancestors conquered Istanbul under the hardest conditions.

Istanbul is the place in which the system of the Mahdi gives an intellectual struggle against Darwinism and materialism. Istanbul is the capital of culture. This is the place in which cultures are giving an intellectual struggle.

Since Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will appear in Istanbul, Allah bestowed the capture of Istanbul. All the mosques of Istanbul were prepared for Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). ISTANBUL IS THE LOVELIEST CITY IN THE WORLD, AND IS BEING PREPARED FOR HAZRAT MAHDI (PBUH).

A believer considers serving Islam as a blessing but hypocrites don’t want to serve Islam. They follow their own evil religious law. Living alone, being stingy and feckless, leading an aimless, vain life, any act of moral turpitude and lying are all acceptable in the evil religious understanding of hypocrites.

A believer could never understand the spirit of a hypocrite or an unbeliever. It is a way of life that believers do not know and would never understand.

A believer who lives according to the moral values of the Qur’an is responsible to protect others like his own children. This is the system of guardianship in Islam.
