Islam did not totally prevail at the time of our Prophet (saas), but Islam will prevail by means of his son, his commander. It will prevail by means of Mahdi. Whose victory will that be? God's. Whom does God use as an instrument for that? The son of our Prophet (saas). The victory attained by the grandson of our Prophet (saas) will be the victory, the honor of our Prophet (saas).

Idolaters consider the commands of God, the Qur'an as insufficient- may God forbid. In their twisted minds, they attempt to teach morality, they attempt to teach religion to God- may God forbid. That is why they either make additions to or subtractions from Islam.

What does idolater mean? It means those who do not consider the Qur'an as sufficient, who do not consider the commands of God as enough, may God forbid, those who attempt to teach religion to God, or those who make additions to the religion God revealed in the name of God.

The Last Day does not come upon the world Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) lives in but people are not aware of this. All the radicals of the world will be hostile against him. They are not even aware that they are alive by courtesy of him. They are not aware that the Last Day does not come about by courtesy of him. Unbelievers, those people who are astray are not aware of the fact that they are living thanks to him.

Love of the Mahdi is very fervent among Alewites and Shias. Theirs is a powerful love. Sunnis have an unnecessary languor and that is not something good. They need to make it right.

Those who want to struggle against ISIS should look for the Mahdi (pbuh). They cannot find a way out other than that. They should look for Jesus Messiah. This scourge will continue if they fail to do that.

People will resist against all Mahdis. That is a sign of his being the Mahdi. Our Prophet (saas) says that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will strive for 40 years. If the Mahdi were to make progress easily, why would he need to be striving for 40 years? He would have results in less than 40 days. But that is not the case.

I am looking for the Mahdi (pbuh) and so are you. However not being able to find him, not having seen him yet, does not change the intensity of our activities, our efforts and this will never change. We will continue on this path until we die.

Idolaters can insult, use bad language and attack. God says, "Do not mind them!" Why does God tell us not to mind them? That is because God is the One Who gives them that power. If He wills so, there would be no one to call 'idolater'. God is the One Who creates them and their speech. If He wills it so, He could make them unable to speak. That is why God wants Muslims to have a very calm spirit.

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is the solution of ISIS. They've been saying that as well. "We will continue our efforts like this until the appearance of the Mahdi (pbuh). But when the Mahdi appears, we will pledge allegiance to him and we will abide by him," they say.

You cannot stop ISIS: This is their destiny. This has been foretold in the hadiths explicitly. They will stop when the Mahdi (pbuh) tells them "stop". As for the solution, they should go search for the Mahdi. There is no other solution, let me tell you this much. They cannot resist destiny; they are struggling in vain.

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) does not have an independent power. All power belongs to God: Jesus Messiah (pbuh) does not have an independent power either, because all power belongs to God. People sometimes develop such a polytheistic mindset and imagine that Hazrat Mahdi has an independent, separate power. Actually his first breath and his last breath are all defined in destiny.

People will pledge allegiance to Mahdi (pbuh), they will pledge allegiance to Jesus Messiah. The world becomes crazy without a leader. There is nothing to misunderstand about this.

There will be a lot of false Mahdis and false Jesuses at the time of the system of the Mahdi. The most important sign of those false Mahdis will be that they will openly claim to be the Mahdi.

Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is very handsome. He will appear as a European- looking young man. As a beautiful, decent, smart young man, who does not remember his past. This would not have such a shocking impact as is presumed. That is because everything will be open to doubt. He would not say, "I certainly am Jesus." He would say, "I look like him. I might be him."

It will be a grave mistake for Europe to take on ISIS. They cannot succeed with murder, with killing. They should search for the Mahdi, that is our advice to them. Salvation lies in that. It won't work any other way.

May God wrap us all around with radiance. May God make us radiant. May He give us guidance. May He open our minds. May God protect us from the evils of satan. May God protect us from wickedness. May God grant the feeling of safety to our hearts. May God make us wealthy. May He make us strong. May God make Islam prevail. May God show us the Mahdi. May He make Mahdi (pbuh) appear. May God make us students of the Mahdi (pbuh) and Jesus Messiah (pbuh).

They have changed Islam into a pagan, polytheistic system –may God forbid- and the way God uses to bring people into line, to correct their wrong ways is through disasters and scourges, through hunger, wars and terror; God creates a devastating terror for them to change their ways, so they back down from their ways. They, in return hold on more tightly to their idols imagining that their salvation is in those idols. The truth of the matter is that such an attitude is the exact reason why they are in this state.

Our Prophet (saas) is the last Messenger, the last prophet. Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will come back in the End Times, but he will not be bringing a new religion. He simply abides by Islam. I mean he comes as a member of this ummah.

Idolaters sometimes present themselves as if they are about to do something good but they are treacherous. You should not believe the face an idolater displays. The good behavior he displays in front of you, or the speeches he gives and his words, are not valid. Their insidious and covert maniacal world is the truth. The Qur'an draws attention to this fact.

Crying is the general characteristic of idolaters. They misrepresent themselves as crying, blubbering people as if they are sentimental, compassionate and easily flappable. And thus their paths are opened for them. Actually, one only cries out of fear of God, out of love for God; but these ones cry as a ploy, to put on a show with their idolater spirit.

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.

Independent love is not acceptable. She says "he doesn't love me enough." First of all, God is the One Who creates love. You are asking for the love of idolaters. You are asking for the love of idols. If you attempt to idolize a man, you would become an idolater anyway. God would plague you, you would feel distresses. God would take away the love from that person's heart. You would niether love, nor be loved. God would make you hollow inside. Love should be directly expected from God.

Some people say, "Why is Syria being razed? Why is Iraq being razed? Why is Libya being razed? Why is Egypt being razed?" They fell into idolatry and idolatry brought troubles towards them. A Muslim should avoid ascribing partners to God.

Radicals believe that they are the most devout ones when they turn the life of this world into a life in Hell, when they misrepresent Islam as hellish. For instance, they believe that it is out of piousness when they turn praying into an inextricable act. They believe that it is out of piousness when they make it impossible to perform ablution, whereas God described performing ablution in a single line in the Qur'an.
