Mahdi is referred to as Paraclete in the New Testament. Even though our Prophet (saas) is implicated by that word, it also points to Mahdi (pbuh).

When Islam prevails in the world, Muslims are bound to have a leader. Call that leader the Mahdi if you like or a scholar, or a big brother, or a master. Whatever you call that person, he is the Mahdi (pbuh).

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be against persecution. He is anti-persecution.

It is very important to show compassion to those who are ill. That is the sunnah of our Prophet (saas). Our Prophet (saas) says "he will carry ill people upon his head" for the Mahdi (pbuh).

When Mahdi (pbuh) and the Prophet Jesus Messiah appear they will both have Holy Relics with them insha'Allah. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be wearing the cardigan of our Prophet (saas).

Almighty Allah has explained Mahdi (pbuh) in great details in the Qur'an but in a very concealed manner. For instance in the story of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh), in the Surah Yusuf, Allah explained the Mahdi. In the story of the Dhul'Qarnayn, in the Surah al-Kahf, in the verses related with the global dominion, Mahdi is explained in details. There are many signs.

Because Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)'s activities are going on very intensely, Almighty Allah continues to conceal him. That is because otherwise he cannot carry out his activities easily. He would not be comfortable if he was out in the open.

All the past renovators (Mujaddids) up until Hazrat Mahdi spoke Arabic. Only Mahdi (pbuh) will not speak Arabic but he will be the one to make the Qur'an prevail in the whole world, insha'Allah.

Education in Turkish is advantageous in all aspects. That is because all newspapers are published in Turkish, all books are Turkish, everywhere we have Turkish. Kurdish is not used anywhere. The urgent language is Turkish. The language used in education is Turkish. There is a forced structuring to create a separate nation, a separate state in that respect.

What will many bigots say to Mahdi? They will say that he is insane and that he is a mental patient. That is because such slanders have been casted upon all prophets.

The aim of PKK is not to make the signs in Southeast Turkish or Kurdish, what PKK minds is not about being Kurdish or Turkish, they want the region to become communists.

Mahdi (pbuh) is the only scholar who doesn't speak Arabic; he is the only scholar at all times. There is no other scholar who doesn't speak Arabic. They all speak Arabic perfectly. Our Prophet (saas) says this specifically for him. He says; "Mahdi doesn't speak Arabic." And this is true only for him. That is a miracle.

Kurdish can never ever be accepted as an official language. Our official language is Turkish. But everyone can speak in any language they like.

You will see in a short while that Turkish language will become an official language all over the world. Because it is the language of Mahdi (pbuh) the whole world will learn to speak Turkish Insha’Allah.

It is not important what is written on street signs or signboards, the official language will be Turkish. Turkish is the language we use to communicate, to talk in this homeland and it is our language of brotherhood.

When they talk about religion they assume that it is all about memorizing the verses, knowing the Qur'an by heart and reciting the verses with tajwid, being careful about idgham (merging). Actually the essence and the wisdom in the Qur'an is what is important. I mean putting the meaning in the Qur'an into practice is important, not reciting the Qur'an by being careful with idgham and qalqalah (adding a slight bounce or reduced vowel sound). Arabs can do that effortlessly in the best manner, but there are also a lot of them who do not put those verses into life, into practice.

It is important to know and communicate the meaning of the Qur’an. Our people will not understand when Qur’an is read in Arabic.

Speaking Arabic is not a requisite for interpreting the Qur’an correctly and for fully abiding by the Qur’an. Had speaking Arabic been a necessity, millions of Arabs would be the best at it. What is important is to attain sincere and profound faith. That is only possible with facts leading to faith and with faith attained through reason.

Everyone must read the Qur’an in their own language. Reading the Qur’an in Arabic is not an obligation but living according to the Qur’an is an obligation. Therefore, everyone should understand its meaning.

In the Hereafter, God will not ask us why we did not read the Qur’an in Arabic. He will ask whether we lived according to the Qur’an or not.

The important thing is to think about and understand the meaning of the Qur’an. Those who consider themselves superior to others because of their ability to speak Arabic are wrong.

We want a long life from Almighty Allah for the goodness and abundance, so that we would serve Islam longer, so that we can attain more good merits. One would want long life not to live the world but to be able to serve the Qur'an, to serve Allah and to attain good merits.

Islamic countries are very sweet. We are not able to go to our own people, to our own houses; that is unbelievable. We have our vineyards and gardens yet they have put blockades. I will be with my brother, with my brother in religion. Brothers in religion are like blood siblings. Why shouldn't I go to Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya and Egypt in comfort?

In this world, we are being trained for the Paradise, we are being educated for that. For us to receive such training there is the need for the antichrists, for Pharaohs and Nimrods. Without them, there will be no training.

Actually it is very easy to make Islam prevail in the world but because of the hopelessness and fear of some religious people, some bigoted people Islam did not prevail in the world until now.
