God explained that He will make the Mahdi the spiritual leader for Muslims. The reason for the Islamic world’s ordeal is their refusal to accept this.

May God honor me and my brothers and sisters to see and be students to the Mahdi and Prophet Jesus (pbuh).

We will see both the Mahdi (pbuh) and Prophet Jesus (pbuh) insha’ Allah. The people of the world are waiting for these two holy people.

The Mahdi will end the wars and the bloodshed. All the weapons will be removed and not a single drop of blood will be shed in his time.

Muslims, Christians and Jews all agree that the Mahdi and Prophet Jesus will appear in this century.

Jesus the Messiah and the Mahdi will establish the Muslim-Christian brotherhood. We believe that both of them are on earth right now.

The fact that the Mahdi faith also exists in the Torah and Psalms is proof that it is a belief in all divine religions and is a fact.

The Qur'an's 75th verse of Surat an-Nisa signals that Muslims will go through very difficult times and that they should pray for the Mahdi during those days.

The Mahdi will come to teach love and compassion. He will devote himself to God and seek God’s approval in everything he does.

Our Prophet (pbuh) left his cardigan to the Mahdi (pbuh) as a beautiful gift. We will see the days when the Mahdi (pbuh) will wear it.

Gog and Magog are the two big terrorist and anarchist powers that will appear after the time of Jesus the Messiah and the Mahdi.

Dabbat al-Ard is the promise of God at a time when faith will collapse altogether; that promise is in fact is the Internet technology that will help the Mahdi when he appears.

The Mahdi will not be a political leader. The Mahdi will be a leader who teaches love and ensures justice.

Mahdi is the only spiritual leader both Shia and Sunni will embrace. Islamic world will only unite around the Mahdi.

Throughout history, Muslims have always had a leader. Muslims got stronger and victorious with leadership of a spiritual leader.

God explains in the Qur’an that Muslims should have a spiritual leader and that Muslims should pray so that God sends a spiritual leader.

The whole world sees at the moment how Muslims suffer because they don't have a spiritual leader.

Some make use of the disintegration of the Islamic world and persecute Muslims including women and children. The Islamic world should right away come together in unity around a spiritual leader. If Muslims had a spiritual leader and they united around him, issues like radicalism or terrorism would be resolved and peace would be established.

God has informed us that He sends spiritual guides to people in every era and that these people will lead them to faith. “We made them leaders, guiding by Our command, and revealed to them how to do good actions and establish prayers and pay alms.” Qur'an, 21:73

God relates that Muslims pray to Him to send them a guardian at times of hardship. Asking for a spiritual leader is a provision of the Qur'an.

In the Qur'an, God states that Muslims must have a spiritual leader. Feigning ignorance about the path shown by God is unbecoming of a Muslim.

Muslims cannot unite without a leader in the Islamic world. Muslims must unite around a spiritual leader to save the whole Muslim world.

While Freemasons, Catholics, Orthodox Christians and all other faiths have their own leaders, some people claim that Muslims should not have such a leader. That is against reason and logic.

I have never claimed, and will never claim to be, the Mahdi. If I had such a claim I would have appeared on TV with a turban and would not be in contact with women, I would not have become a Freemason and I would not criticize the traditionalist understanding of Islam prevalent in the Islamic world. I have never been a person claiming to be the Mahdi and will never make such a claim. A physical resemblance is not a proof of the Mahdi. The only way we would recognize the Mahdi is when we see Islam prevailing in the world and a spiritual leader heading Muslims, the unity of Islam established and Jesus putting that person to the front to lead the prayer. We would then say, “God knows the truth, this person is the Mahdi.”

In his last speech, 's a person who reflects the Ottoman spirit very well.
