The duty of the Mahdi (pbuh) is to be a man of love. He teaches love and beauty; this is his profession. God makes one love, God makes one love all those He created. The person charged of making the world a place like heaven is called the Mahdi.

Returning to the times of Ottomans is never a possibility. I mean there is no policy to be called neo-Ottomans. There is only the policy of the system of the Mahdi. The system of the Mahdi is what we call the unity of the Islamic world. And the person to lead that unity is called the Mahdi. That will be made possible with the support of the Jesus Messiah.

One cannot become a Mahdi simply because he wants to become the Mahdi or by working hard for it. One is born to be the Mahdi (as) and God preordains in destiny who Mahdi (as) will be. Fame and making fuss wouldn’t ensure it, working hard wouldn’t ensure it. It is all about the heart. The system of the Mahdi is all about profound faith.

One wouldn’t become the Mahdi by striving for it. One wouldn’t become the Mahdi by propaganda. The Prophet Moses (pbuh) did not become a prophet by propaganda; he didn’t become a prophet by striving for it either. He became a prophet because of his morality, because of his patience in the face of hardships.

People are in need of Mahdi, not the other way round. Some naive people presume that Mahdi (pbuh) will go to them. In fact they will be going to the Mahdi (pbuh).

All the Islamic world is restless. No state could bring about peace and tranquility to the Islamic world. Russia is restless, Europe is restless, USA is restless. The whole world will attain peace and tranquility with the Jesus Messiah and the Mahdi (pbuh) insha'Allah.

Striving to be the Mahdi, putting an effort to this end wouldn’t be enough. One needs to be born as the Mahdi. He should be assigned as the Mahdi in his destiny by God.

The system of the Mahdi is a tutorage of love, tutorage of compassion; it is a tutorage of affection. Mahdi is a person who teaches the falsity of rebellion, rampancy and perversion; he is an individual who injects love into the hearts of people with great affection.

The system of the Mahdi is the most important incident ever since the creation of this world. All the prophets, ever since the Prophet Adam (pbuh) have drawn attention to the Mahdi. The Prophet Noah (pbuh), the Prophet Abraham (pbuh), the Prophet Moses (pbuh) have all drawn attention to the Mahdi (pbuh).

“And your Lord would not have destroyed the cities unjustly while their people were reformers.”(Surah Hud; 117) So God says; “I would not destroy a country in which Islam is preached, in which genuine Muslims reside.” That is why no harm will fall on Turkey because Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) resides here. No big disasters will befall on Turkey, no calamities would fall upon Turkey. There will only be success and victory.

Almighty God conceals the Mahdi because people would persecute him if they knew. He conceals the Mahdi behind 70 veils. They keep saying, “This person cannot be the Mahdi (pbuh) because of this and that aspect.” They invent 70 different excuses. Almighty God conceals him with Hidden Knowledge: With the Secret Knowledge, with the knowledge of Unseen.

People will approach the community of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) with suspicion as well. The whole Islamic world will have suspicions about them, and because of those suspicions they will only be 313 people.

At the time of the Mahdi, it will not be possible to attack Muslims intellectually because of the Mahdi. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will build a barrier; the barrier of Dhul Qarnayn, insha’Allah.

Azerbaijan is very dear to us. We are two different states of one nation. It is like our Rize, like our Konya. But it has been separated from us for now. That is an artificial separation. We will put aside this separation. Our Minister of Foreign Affairs is striving intensely to this end but that would be vouchsafed to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).

Tanks, cannon shells, water cannons; none of those will exist in the End Times. They will all be used for industrial purposes. There will be no weapons at the time of the Mahdi (pbuh).

What is the task Moschiah, Hazrat Mahdi would be performing? His task is saving the world from irreligiousness, Darwinism, materialism, turning this world into a festive place, putting an end to the sorrows.

Unity can clearly be attained with the spirit of the system of the Mahdi. Everyone says; "let us be in unity." But no one would ever take such wishes seriously. Racism, sectarianism, regionalism, even district based discrimination is widespread. Since our Prophet (saas) is very well aware of this trouble on his ummah, he specifically charges his Mahdi with that task.

One of the main characteristics of the system of the Mahdi (pbuh) is that it will not conflict with anyone’s interests. It won’t conflict with the interests of communists, neither of irreligious nor with the interests of Christians and Jews. Everyone will be at ease.

The main characteristic of the Mahdi (pbuh) is that he is a man of love. The one who enables peace, justice and love is the Mahdi (pbuh). One should keep away from those who talk about fighting. One should keep away from those who preach bloodshed.

Mahdi (pbuh) will be the one who opens the Holy Ark [of the Covenant], insha'Allah. The time for that is drawing near. The whole world will see the Holy Ark.

Mahdi will know the art of making people believe in God and making them love God. How will that be possible? By telling them about the miracles of the Qur'an, about the facts leading to faith, about the miracles of our Prophet (saas), about the wonders behind matter. He will thus be instrumental in people's guidance towards the right path.

People are very open to the teachings of love and also to the teachings of violence. Mahdi (pbuh) is the one who will give that inspiration of love, that inspiration of affection to people. Mahdi (pbuh) is a peacemaker.

When we love a person we love him/her for the good pleasure of God. What does the good pleasure of God mean? It stems from the services rendered for Islam. Does he/she unite Muslims? Does he/she ensure unity? Does he/she work to quell dissension? Does he/she develop an attitude against division? If we see all these in a person, we should love that person for the good pleasure of God. We feel that love as a religious observation.

It is not right to pick a side among Muslims. There should only be alliance, unity, brotherhood in between Muslims. Anything on the contrary would be religiously unlawful.

A Muslim would pick the side of Islam if he/she is forced to pick sides in between irreligion and Islam. A Muslim cannot be impartial; he would then be staved off.
