Love is the remedy for all troubles.

Love is a requirement. If you attempt to attain something with egocentricity, the egocentricity you will be facing would suffocate you. If you step up cunningly, even more cunning ones would suffocate you. If you attempt to play tricks, the one you are facing would play ten times more tricks. Beauty cannot be attained with tricks, with rouses and with fraud; it can be attained with honesty, sincerity and love.

The duty of the Mahdi (pbuh) is to be a man of love. He teaches love and beauty; this is his profession. God makes one love, God makes one love all those He created. The person charged of making the world a place like heaven is called the Mahdi.

When we love a person we love him/her for the good pleasure of God. What does the good pleasure of God mean? It stems from the services rendered for Islam. Does he/she unite Muslims? Does he/she ensure unity? Does he/she work to quell dissension? Does he/she develop an attitude against division? If we see all these in a person, we should love that person for the good pleasure of God. We feel that love as a religious observation.

The system of the Mahdi is an environment of brotherhood and friendship, it is an environment of love. People would not be swaggering, they would not suffer. At the moment, cocaine, heroin, weed, alcohol are all consumed like water. Why is this? It is because of the lack of love. People start using drugs to be saved from the pain of that scarcity of love.

There will be no need for the police, for the anti-riot water cannon vehicles; there will be no need for tear-gas in the time of the Mahdi (pbuh). Why is that? That is because love will prevail in the time of the Mahdi(pbuh). Love does not prevail right now; violence and terror is running rampant.

In the time of the Mahdi (pbuh) no one would attempt to lynch someone else; there will only be beauty, love and sincerity. There will be fear of God and love of God everywhere we go. Now, people are hurting one another for no reason.

Violence brings about violence. Only with love, mercy, friendship and brotherhood can stability and balance be attained in Libya.

When you speak of politics, love and compassion should come to mind. Politics should be under the command of love, it should serve love. At the time of the Mahdi, politics will be the source of love and affection; it will be used to attain love and affection, Insha’Allah.

People turn towards whichever side they see love from. Love is the greatest blessing, the greatest power in the world.

There is no sense in economizing in good words; such words could be said repeatedly. Love is based on repetition anyway. Love should be voiced over and over. For instance one does not say “I love you” only once in a lifetime; such words of endearment should be said numerous times.

Just like our invoking the Name of God many times, words of endearment are repeated numerous times as well. That would create a feeling of relief in people’s hearts. Such words increase love and opens the heart.

You cannot see even one article from the radicals that talks about aesthetics, about love even for a single day. They do not talk about love not even for a day. Actually they find love difficult.

Violence brings about violence. As violence brings about violence, it also becomes a sort of training for violence. For instance Syria and Iraq became the schools of violence; there is an amazing foundation there. But in the system of the Mahdi, only compassion, mercy, love, friendship, brotherhood, peace and wisdom prevails. Eventually people will be obliged to approach to the system of the Mahdi.

Love is the greatest weapon in the world. Violence brings about violence but in love, the loved one would love you even more, and that makes you love even more. So you become friends, you become brothers and turn this world into a heaven on earth.

Violence begets terror, violence begets horror and by doing so you would be playing into the hands of irreligious people, into the hands of persecutors. Irreligiousness spreads in places where there is violence. Religion spreads in peaceful environments, in loving, compassionate environments.

People have not been taught about love, they have constantly been taught about violence. Hatred and lovelessness settled firmly in a great majority of society. The state should make it a national issue to teach love and sweep away hatred.

There is no violence in the Qur'an; the only condition war in which is considered acceptable in the Qur'an is defense. When a persecutor attacks, we defend ourselves. There is no persecution, no pressure in the Qur'an. You simply defend yourself when attacked by persecutors. The verse is explicit. God says; "There is no compulsion in religion." (Surat Al-Baqarah; 256) God also tells us to say; "O you disbelievers! You have your religion, I have my religion." ( Surat Al-Kafirun; 6) How do you come up with compulsion with these verses?

As people show resistance to the system of the Mahdi, fanaticism, violence and terror enwraps the world more and more each day. And because hatred is prevalent, it is not difficult for organizations like Al-Qaeda to find proponents, weapons and funds.

I would never let a Muslim be killed. I would do anything to prevent murder. ISIS kills, and resorts to violence. We are against violence. But if you go and attempt to kill the one who resorts violence, you would be no different than they are. It is not acceptable.

Acceptance of the Truth only becomes possible after worldwide violence. Without that violence, the acceptance seems impossible. We see this in the Ad tribe and the Thamud tribe and all the other tribes. There has to be violence. People tend to leave this world behind when faced with violence and start thinking about the Hereafter.

Those who resort to violence actually burn out their own souls. Ideas spread with science, love, reason and democracy.

Despite being Muslims, ISIS is on the wrong path. That is because they are using violence; violence has no place in Islam.

It is wrong to name people who are pro-violence as Muslims. Those who advocate the system of horror, the system of violence; they are idolaters. They are from a pagan religion. A Muslim would not do that. A Muslim would abide by the Qur’an.

Russian people sufferred a lot. The world should protect them and show compassion to them. We should not leave them to their own means. It is a cold country, a cold climate, an outcasted community. We should put these away and approach them with compassion.
