A Muslim, a Christian or a Jew cannot be devout if he does not accept any of the Prophets. Even if he doesn't accept only one prophet, that would be a profanity.

A Christian, a Jew is also obliged to perform prayers.

A devout person, a Muslim, Christian or Jewish cannot deny any of the Prophets. For a Christian to be a real Christian, he should acknowledge our Prophet (saas) as well.

The committee of the dajjal (antichrist) and the dajjal will attempt to exert pressure on Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and his students in order to prohibit their just and right activities, they will threaten them and attempt to cast them out according to their own twisted minds. Under such conditions the students of Hazrat Mahdi will continue their scientific struggle with love, compassion, reason, science and culture. That is the reason of the increase in their good deeds, their being the lions of the End Times, their being worshippers at night, their being appraised; that is the reason why they attain more good deeds than the Companions.

With the Unity of Islam, you will also be protecting Christians, Jews and the irreligious. You will show the world justice, peace, brotherhood and love. You will attain the best result when you show people by being a living example that there will be a world in which there will be no blood, no weapon, no violence and no terror.

Jews want the Unity of Islam as well, because they will be very comfortable when the Unity of Islam is established, because they will be living comfortably in those beautiful lands Allah has promised them, because they will be in peace, tranquility and safety and because there is no other time for the King Messiah to appear. They believe that the unity of Islam will be formed simultaneously with the appearance of the King Messiah (Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)).

A Muslim would want people from all faiths to live happily; he/she thinks about everyone and says "my brothers/sisters come first," and never puts himself/herself before others.

An oppressive, totalitarian, bigoted mindset would bring forth an insincere and backward society.

Muslim is created with the Qur'an. Jew is created with the Torah. There is no one in the world that religion did not reach. And that cannot happen through coincidences, it is created in the destiny as a whole. The whole of the universe is metaphysical.

Interest is unlawful both in Judaism and in Islam. That means Divine, Abrahamic religions have all declared interest as religiously unlawful.

Israel should not be on thorns. Turkey would in any case embrace Israel, it will protect and watch over it. Turkey has no animosity towards Jews; on the contrary compassion towards Israel prevails in Turkey. No one can ever take down this standpoint.

Mahdi (pbuh) will suffer oppression and hardships. In the World of souls Allah asks him "Will you be able to endure these hardships?" And he says; "I will my Lord. With honor and pride."Mahdi is sent to this World 6000 years after the World of souls and fulfills the promise he made in the World of souls.

There is no compulsion in religion, no coercion in religion. People can think as ever they like. Allah puts us in a trial, what does trial mean? You decide with your free will.

One feels pity for the irreligious, so why are you attacking irreligious? You cannot pull an irreligious person towards your own religion by force. You have to give them freedom, you cannot interfere with their beliefs. You cannot drag them towards your own system, your own moral values. Unless they do harm to anyone, you cannot interfere with their values. You can only interfere with them if they do harm to you in person, to your environment or the society; in which case you would have a right to do so. But even then it would be within the framework of law and justice system.

Yes to freedom of thought! No to insults and revilement! No Turkish court is sentencing anyone because of their ideas. The offence people are sentenced for, are slanders and insults.

Stating an opinion is one thing, slandering is another. There is law and there is a legal system. We will not let anyone slander and revile.

No one accepts insults when they are aimed at their own persons. Yet they strive to present insults aimed at believers as normal.

Freedom of speech is for expressing ideas, not for cursing.

The best thing to do is to voice ideas without giving rise to an environment of conflict.

We cannot impose our understanding of morality to others, we cannot interfere anyone’s beliefs.

The system of the Mahdi is not oppressive, I mean some people would be performing their prayers and some won't in the system of the Mahdi. Some would not be covering their heads, some will wear low neck clothes, some will wear hijab but everyone will be happy. Everyone will be free.

Targeting the happiness of people is the characteristic of the system of the Mahdi. The system of the Mahdi is not oppressive, it would interfere with anyone else's faith or opinion. Everyone will be free. A very devout center will present love to everyone.

If you exert pressure, people would feel abased. You would make people who normally would not consume alcohol start consuming alcohol, you would cause people who would normally perform their prayers, stand apart from prayers; things that would not normally happen would start to happen. I mean oppression would disrupt a person’s balance.

It is not possible to procure religiousness through governments; that can only be made possible with the system of the Mahdi. The system, the spirit that would come about in religiousness is love. I mean the system of the Mahdi brings about a lot of love, compassion, mercy, understanding, tolerance, sweetness, broadness of perspective, arts and science, it would bring about social justice; none of which can be attained through impositions. In the system of the Mahdi there is no place for impositions.

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be the brain of his students. Without Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) his students would not have any power.
