According to the hadiths, the disasters will become so violent that people will be preoccupied with their own troubles. Everyone would be worn down thinking about their personal interests. Incidents will escalate immeasurably. The appearance of Imam Mahdi (pbuh) is imperative for the salvation of Muslims: There is no other way.

It is religiously unlawful to resist the Islamic Union. It is a religious obligation for Muslims to select a leader. Every delay causes the sin that falls upon one to increase in folds. Muslims become responsible for every person killed, for every inoffensive Muslim suffering. That is because they persistently reject the Islamic Union, they persistently assume an attitude against the system of the Mahdi. As they assume such an attitude against the system of the Mahdi, the murders, the deaths, are all increasing in folds.

The region would accept the notion of Turkish Islamic Union. But they would never accept the hegemonic mindset of the US. There will be no more Ottomans, no more Seljuk Empire yet again. There will be no return to the Oğuzhan period, to the Sultan Alparslan period. What will happen? We will head towards the future. What is the future? It is the system of the Mahdi.

Seventy veils conceals Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), he is very difficult to see. He is concealed in such a way that even Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will not be able to see himself. That is how Almighty God conceals him. The Torah commentator Rabbis say, “His mother, his father, his family would not be able to recognize Moschiach Mahdi." He is that much concealed.

All of the artificial movements regarding the system of the Mahdi are doomed to collapse. That is because it means mocking the system of the Mahdi. God is the One Who gives one the lead. All the false Mahdi candidates end up defeated.

One only serves the system of the Mahdi and cannot claim to be the Mahdi. Look carefully into the course of history and you will see that they all ended up defeated. But God has always opened the way for all those who stepped forth claiming to be in the service of the system of the Mahdi and made them all elated.

The core of the system of the Mahdi is wisdom and sincerity. Literary or fancy talks would be like singing a song and would have no true impact on people.

The whole issue is in submitting to God wholeheartedly and in loving God. Once you attain that, you would progress steadily on the right path. You might want to go faster, but God would not let you speed up. The system of the Mahdi is a system that progresses slowly. The followers of the Mahdi blossom out slowly as well. No matter how much they want it, no matter what they do, God makes them fill in that preordained time.

The system of the Mahdi is not a claim but a demonstration. Islam prevails in the world and an individual takes the lead of the Islamic world. We can then think that he is the Mahdi (pbuh), God knows the truth and that is all (we can do). We cannot enunciate it either, we can only say, "God knows the truth, he might be the one."

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will start a festive period. The hearts of the people will become rich in an instant. They will give what they have to one another, they will share their money and their means and everyone will watch over one another. An immense richness will come about. Goods will be distributed profusely. The whole ummah will rejoice. The whole world, the poor and the needy, those living in misery, everyone will rejoice.

The festivities of the Islamic world will start with the system of the Mahdi. There will not be a single person in need. Goods will constantly be distributed among them.

Darwinism is the system of the antichrist. It is the Godless movement that is foretold to appear in the End Times. It made the whole world Godless and Bookless. We do not have the time to strive to determine the antichrist; the antichrist has already appeared. We need to concentrate on the solution. The solution is the system of the Mahdi. We need to take sides with the system of the Mahdi against the system of the antichrist.

No movement against the system of the Mahdi could ever be successful. Any movement that rejects the second coming of the prophet Jesus Messiah (pbuh) is bound to be defeated.

All the incidents take place as foretold in the hadiths. We will see Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and we will see the prophet Jesus Messiah as well. We will see the Islamic Union and we will all pass away after we do our duty. No one will remain here. The ones that remain the last will follow us as well, the world will be empty and then the Last Day will break loose.

Unification of the Islamic world is known as the system of the Mahdi. The system of the Mahdi equals the unity of the Islamic world and we call the leader heading the Islamic world Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).

The state should be looking out for the system of the Mahdi with all its might. That is because in the system of the Mahdi, there is no intervention to the state. The system of the Mahdi would not interfere in politics; that is because it has a feature that unites the Turkish world, and it is also a system against bigotry, a system that fully encourages modernity and is fundamentally against separation. That is absolutely ideal for the state.

The suffering and horror in the world will keep on growing, right until the coming of the Mahdi is clear for all to see. There will be an unbelievable increase in pain and suffering everywhere, not just in the Islamic world in 2016 and 2017, and by 2018 there will literally be a hell on earth. But 2019, 2021 and 2023 will be years of salvation.

In the time of the Mahdi, women will be as free as they can possibly be and will not be troubled anywhere.

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) has come. The Prophet Jesus Messiah (pbuh) has come, but has not yet become apparent. Almighty God is preparing their time of appearance, their time of becoming apparent. The events will reach inconceivable dimensions. Right now we are at a phase of the system of the Mahdi; I mean events will escalate to inconceivable dimensions in Syria, in Iraq, in the whole region. They will escalate immensely and much bigger incidents will take place. And after that, Almighty God will make His Mahdi apparent.

If a person is very egocentric, if he likes himself a lot, if he has an extreme air of haughtiness, all his body becomes egocentric. The whole body becomes his ego. His whole body becomes sick. I mean he becomes insane. That is what happened to Pharaoh, to Nimrod. They lost their sanity. When that is the case, satan settles in their body. They become unable to act rationally and in a balanced manner. They lose the ability to be reasonable.

It is not acceptable to follow a calm, moderate policy against the PKK. A determined policy within the mainframe of the law should be followed; that is because martyrs are saintly. If we are giving martyrs every single day, that is defiance against us.

Unbelievers and hypocrites demonstrate herding behavior, just like the animals. They act jointly. Just like reindeers, bison herds, unbelievers behave in herds as well. When they see a danger coming, they attack like a bison herd. Unbelievers behave in herds like that as well.

Sometimes the acts of Muslim might look very much like the acts of a hypocrite but that doesn't make him a hypocrite, it only means that he caught a disease. When you save him from that disease, he would go on as a Muslim. But when you apply the same treatment to the hypocrite - there is a grave danger here - the hypocrite might appear as if he is saved as well, but he continues his ways underhandedly.

Hypocrites ask the Prophet to excuse them, saying, ´Our houses are exposed,´ when they were not exposed. What do they mean by saying that their houses are exposed? They mean to say, "I have a family at home, I need to take care of them, of their education. I need to bring food to my spouse at home, I need to take care of her. My store is exposed as well. My trade is mired down, I need to take care of that." Well my brother, alright, but they are killing, martyring Muslims all over. Is your store more important or their being martyred?

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.
