Imam Mahdi (pbuh) is the only force that will put an end to ISIS. According to the hadiths, those with "black banners" will abide by Imam Mahdi (pbuh) and thus ISIS will come to an end. Other than that, they cannot stop ISIS, let me tell you this much. It is not in their destiny.

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.

Very rare, elect people, those who are specifically been inspired by God, those who are taken into a deep sleep approach the Mahdi (pbuh). Just like the People of the Cave. Such a person would not be able to go anywhere even if he wants to, because it is in his destiny. The will of a genuine student of the Mahdi would not be able to leave him. But the other ones cannot become his students even if they want to.

There is no such thing to call the success of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Everything is created by God. God makes Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) instrumental in this. Meaning the triumph of the moral values of Islam and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) are created separately.

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.

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) 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is a man of love, mercy, compassion, wisdom, friendship, beauty and aesthetics. Europe will accept him, the US will accept him, whole world freemasonry will lovingly accept him, all the Templars, the Rosicrucian Fellowship and all the deep state organizations will accept him. That is why Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be the imam of the world.

People will pledge their allegiance to the Mahdi (pbuh) three times. The first time will be in Istanbul, the second time will be in Mecca, and the third time will be in Jerusalem. During the allegiance pledged in Jerusalem, Mahdi (pbuh) will call Jesus Messiah. He will say “Your security will be provided for. Show yourself.” After that Jesus Messiah (pbuh) will come along with a smile, together with a group of his students.

All the youngsters from ISIS will soon pledge allegiance to the Mahdi (pbuh). Their coming has been foretold in the hadiths. Their activities are described in great detail. Their appearance, their attire, everything about them has been foretold. They cannot stop ISIS. As per their leaders, one of them will go and the other will follow.

Our rationale shows us that Muslims need an imam, a leader heading them; Without the head, the body fails. And that head is Imam Muhammad Mahdi (pbuh). This ummah would not accept anyone other than the Mahdi (pbuh).

Imam Mahdi will be a leader supported by the whole world. Mahdi (pbuh) will not have an opponent. Who will make him accepted? God will make him accepted. God will reveal it to the hearts of people and people will be convinced about their allegiance to the Mahdi (pbuh) in a way that they wouldn't understand themselves. They will strangely understand that they love him. They will strangely start trusting him and believe that he will be the one saving them; they will believe that he will be the one instrumental in their salvation.

According to the hadiths, Jesus Messiah (pbuh) and the Mahdi (as) will meet each other at a prayer time. Jesus Messiah will say to the Mahdi, "You be the imam [leader], you make us perform the prayer", and from that moment on ,the Mahdi will be the leader of the whole world.

We are informed in the hadiths that the majority of Jews will embrace Islam and become Muslims at time of the Mahdi (pbuh).

According to the hadith, the Mahdi (pbuh) is the sum of all the prophets. He is the last guardian, the greatest saint of all-time and pure in judgment. Almighty God appoints an Ulu'l Azm [The Resolute Prophets] prophet like Jesus Messiah (pbuh) as a vizier of the Mahdi. This shows how esteemed the Mahdi is.

Religious orders are devotees of good morality, love and compassion. They'll be existing and bonded to the Mahdi in his time as schools of love.

In the hadiths it has been foretold that ISIS, which is referred to as ", black clothes" will prevail all over the region. Western forces cannot resist this destiny. The only solution is ISIS's allegiance to Imam Mahdi (pbuh).

Muslims become handsome with faith, they become beautiful with trial. If that trial is taken away, Muslims would be devastated, may God forbid. I mean if one does not come across any difficulties, that means they acquire no good merits. We came to this world to be tested; that is why Almighty God says, "Or did you suppose that you would enter the Garden without facing the same as those who came before you?"
