When there is a weakness in faith, Allah scorches the world and does not give happiness. That was the reason for the collapse of the Ottomans, that was also the reason for the collapse of Seljuk Sultanate. When a bigoted structure develops, when a conservative structure develops, when arts, science, love decreases, when people become estranged from the spirit of the Qur'an, disasters assuredly follows.

Allah would not wrong His servants. Allah would not want Muslims to live in pain. Allah would not want women to live in pain. Allah loves women. Allah created them to be loved, not to be oppressed.

People cannot stand hardships and difficulties. About 60-70 % of the people are using antidepressants. A grave fear has enwrapped the whole world. Let us be friends, let us be brothers and sisters, let us live in peace, friendship and in love with people from all faiths and religions.

According to the signs in the Qur'an and the hadiths, Mahdi (pbuh) will go through very tough testings and difficult trials.

Qur'an is a very plain and pure Book. The commands of Allah are very plain and quite simple. Complicating life is not religion. I mean propagating an environment in which people are in dirty clothes, eating filthy food, living in a filthy, listless environment with dirty looking women and men; no music, no paintings, no arts, no science, no aesthetics in an ugly rotten structure; with slanders and revilements constantly in their language and feeling hatred towards everyone. Such a religion is not acceptable. This has nothing to do with religion.

Religion is a magnificent structure in which welfare, love, beauty, peace, goodness, forgiveness, democracy, freedom of thought and the most sophisticated, most beautiful aspects of arts and science are displayed. Some people ensnarl religion and alienate people from religion unnecessarily. That is the way they serve the antichrist (dajjal).

What does the bigoted mindset do to make people alienate from religion? They complicate the religion. That is a very sly plot of the satan. When they complicate the religion even though it is really very easy, people start thinking that religion cannot be practiced and give up. Actually living by religion is really easy.

One needs to welcome all sorts of tests that come on his/her way with joy and do well by them with the utmost effort. A tough test coming on one's way means a ship full of gold is coming to him. Sometimes tests might seem to be difficult but they are all full of good deeds.

They misrepresent Islam as such an intricate, such a difficult and hard religion and they show the understanding of quality in Muslims'lives as such a sheepish, such a deficient life that it seems like –may Allah forbid- a living Hell to people. Why do you not present Islam like Paradise as it actually is, why do you not present an ambiance like that of Paradise, a manner like reminds Paradise?

Scientific truths cannot be covered up with Darwinist superstitions.

"Do not be despondent, Allah is with us." (Surat at-Tawba, 40) That means Muslims will live through very difficult times but they will not be despondent.

In one of his hadiths Our Prophet (saas) says; "Mahdi is your guide that dispels your hardships."

The superstitions told by bigots do not constitute the religion of Islam, they are the religion of idolatry.

When Darwinism is taught as a scientific fact instead of superstition in the text books, the existence of Allah would be rejected –May Allah forbid- thus faith would be annihilated. We look at the biology text books and see that there is nothing against Darwinism. That is not acceptable. The invalidity of Darwinism should be explained with scientific evidences.

The prayers (salat) should be performed immaculately just like it is described in the Qur'an with great sincerity. There is nothing complex. You perform your prayers joyfully, lovingly and peacefully. Trying to complicate the prayers is a satanic behavior. Satan attempts to turn it into something complicated so that people abandon their prayers.

The soul is trained through hardships and ordeals.

Pain, sufferings and tears would not cease to exist unless people abide by Mahdi (pbuh).

Easing religion and life is the characteristic of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will relieve people of their heavy loads and the chains around them.

Simplifying is the characteristic of the Mahdis. They ease religion, they ease what is ordered, they ease life, they relieve people of their heavy loads and the chains which were around them. The task of the Mahdi (pbuh) is to facilitate. He will relieve people of their heavy loads and chains but bigots will say; "this one has killed our religion. Our religion was a hard and heavy religion, we have had many loads but this one has eased and killed our religion. "

Religion is not very complex. Religion is very pure and simple. It is not something you would perceive after months, years of education. Islam can easily be understood in two-three hours.

People have an incredible tendency to believe in superstitions. That is really surprising. And some of them, even though they do not believe, they insistently pretend as if they do believe in them.

No matter what happens, Muslims always stand strong. Allah is the One Who creates all scourges, all troubles. Those who do not suffer hardships would not know love.

People suffer for no reason. For instance, the fury they exhibit in football matches. However it is very easy to understand Allah. It is very beautiful to live in peace. It is difficult to live in anger.

Love, compassion, mercy, forgiveness and gentleness are lifeworks of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). What is the lifework of the bigots? Hatred, rage, grudge, vengeance, killing..

Annihilating the atomic bombs is the task of the Mahdi (pbuh).
