It is of course very important to be at our Prophet (saas)'s elbow. It is a great comfort for the Companions of our Prophet (saas). Actually people do not know the Islamic community that well. Muslims are like a big family. If one has a mansion with thirty rooms for instance, he fills it will Muslims, the food is cooked for all of them. The goods are distributed. Trade is done together, everything is shared and done commonly. That is an unprecedented system.

We are the radiant face of Islam for the whole world. When those who know Islam as a horrible, introverted, loveless system that has a grudge against women, that has turned life into a horror, see Islam as we live it, when they see Islam as it was lived at the time of the Companions, they feel an admiration for Islam. And they recognize that Islam is their salvation. Otherwise, they are all in misery.

If you run after the transient world, God would make it constantly run away from you and the world would then become a trouble for you. However, the world would become beautiful with self-sacrificing people. For instance, our Prophet (saas) was very altruistic and selfless. His companions were very altruistic and selfless. None of them were self-seeking. Societies with self-seeking people collapse.

Lying is a form of insanity and it is quite widespread among the ignorant, especially among crass people, with the aim of entertaining others and drawing attention to themselves. Because it is a form of insanity and it humiliates people, no one should ever come near it. It is vileness to lie to draw attention or to act as a know-it-all and a show off.

Having a glorious, scary army is the Sunnah of our Prophet (saas). For instance, he didn't let the soldiers cut their mustaches short; they even grew their nails. The Companions of our Prophet (saas) had such a ravenous and scary appearance. They had handlebar moustaches reaching till the ends of their ears. Those who looked at them were shivering with fear, they feared them greatly. It would be great if our soldiers had such a staggering appearance. Especially regarding the PKK; our soldiers should be their nightmare.

The Companions of our Prophet (saas) always strove for the sake of God. But the hypocrites always had excuses like ‘our houses are exposed' or ‘we would have come if we knew how’. However, if they were told that they would be given gold, they would have immediately obliged. That is because it would have served their interests. However, one's interests should always be in showing good morality; one should choose faith and reward from God instead of gold. Otherwise one would start to turn into an animal.

The Islamic world is groveling right now because of their superstitions; they are ruined because of that. Radicalism brings along timidity. When that is the case, the bravery and self-reliance of the companions is not formed.

If you give fanaticism an inch, it takes a mile. It is very dangerous. The state must adopt a determined policy to spread modern thinking, a modern state structure and a modern conception of art. In other words, one must live by a modern Islam. What does modern mean? Like in the time of the Companions.

Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will come as the vizier of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), that is what our Prophet (saas) foretold. In order to honor the Mahdi, in order to emphasize his greatness, Almighty God sends Jesus Messiah as his vizier. The greatness of the Mahdi could be appreciated from that alone. He is the last guide. He is the greatest guide, the greatest Saint of all times. That is to say, imam Mahdi is superior to the Companions.

It is amazing that they call every Prophet "crazy". Without exception, they do that to all of them and they mock all of them. They call them crazy in any case. Yet they will learn who is rational and who is crazy.

All the prophets were slandered and they were called “insane”, yet for a believer, it is an honor to be called insane.

A believer will be proud to be an ‘insane lover of God’. All prophets, saints, righteous people throughout history were called ‘insane’.

Throughout history, aspersions of insanity have been cast on all the prophets and all Muslims striving on the path of God.

Being crazily in love with God is a great honor for a believer.

It was narrated from our Prophet (pbuh): "Remember the name of God so much that people will call you mad." (Ahmad ibn Hanbel, 3/68; Hâkim, 1/499)

It makes me even more enthusiastic when I face with obstacles and slanders when I carry out intellectual struggle in the way of God.

Those who attempt to set traps using slanders and false accusations against us can try all they can. They will get their answer legally.

As people casted slanders on Bediuzzaman, God gave him health and welfare. Bediuzzaman has never been to a hospital or a doctor in his life. He was very healthy.

During the events of February 28, all sorts of conspiracies have been carried out about us as well, we've been subjected to all sorts of slanders and lots of lawsuits have been brought up against us.

Every slander cast against believers would give them a higher rank in Heaven. Slanders, defamations and attacks always strengthen believers and reinforce their faith.

Only an insane person would accept and embrace war. War is not something a person in his sane mind would ever accept. Why should there be cruelty and bloodshed? We are people of reason, we can handle everything by talking.

If you have an ideal, if you have a goal, it would not be possible for PKK to defeat you.

They do not have to make a mistake simply because Israel is mistaken as well. If you approach them in a friendly manner with love, you will see that they will become your friends. You approach them in a friendly way, with love. But if you approach them with knives they will approach you with bombs and tanks. There will be no end to this. But if you approach them with love, you will see that they will become your friends and respond with love. That is a secret of the Qur'an.

It is not right to wish for Hell for anyone. One should only ask God for the other's guidance on to the right path and for goodness.

One would ask for a long life to serve Islam. Without that service for Islam, life could turn into trouble for one. One might have a long life but end up in the depths of Hell as a result. An auspicious, long life is important. If that auspiciousness, those good deeds are lost, if one does not serve on the path of God, a long life would do him no good. A long life is important only to serve Islam.
