With Darwinism, all the countries in the world are saying, "There is no God and there are no Prophets and all the Holy Books are lies." That holds true for Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt and all of the others. It is a miracle that the Last Day did not come yet. Almighty God is letting the world survive because of the Mahdi right now.

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.

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.

What does Almighty God say for Islam? He says, "It is easy as the religion of the Prophet Abraham." He says, "God desires ease for you; He does not desire difficulty for you." Mahdi (pbuh) will ease religion. What kind of easiness? An unprecedented easiness. Religion will become lighter, the chains will be removed. A very easy religion would be put forth. What religion will that be? The one we see in the Qur'an.

The awaited Mahdi (pbuh) will revive Islam and bring life to it by easing it. He will ease religion and remove the chains of radicalism from the shoulders of the people.

Mahdi's facilitating and easing of religion means his removing unlawful acts that are not defined by the Qur'an. For instance, is music unlawful? No: There is no such verse in the Qur'an. He will explain to those who claim that music is unlawful that it is lawful.

There will be no payment of interest when Mahdi (pbuh) appears because the collecting of interest is unlawful. No Islamic country could stop it but with the appearance of the Mahdi, it will be stopped. That is because the Mahdi (pbuh) will not make any concessions regarding the Qur'an and he will do whatever is commanded in the Qur'an.

Almighty God states in the Torah that the whole region will be under the control of Muslims in the End Times. God says "You will prevail in the whole region from the Nile to the Euphrates, including Mecca and Madinah, including the Mediterranean and Cyprus. And one from the line of the Prophet David (pbuh) will be heading that community." That person is the Mahdi (pbuh).

Those following the Mahdi, those who are God-fearing are the students of the Mahdi (pbuh) and - God willing- they are the people of Heaven. Our Prophet (saas) refers to those 313 students as the center.

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.

Idolaters do not like the Mahdi, they do not like the second coming of Jesus Messiah, they do not like the Islamic Union. They express this by distorting the truth with their tongues. In the Qur'an God says, “It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of Truth to exalt it over every other religion, though the idolaters hate it." That is because the idolaters fiercely resist the Islamic Union, they resist the Mahdi, they resist the second coming of Jesus Messiah.

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).

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.

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.

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.

The Mahdi (pbuh) will not talk by engaging in demagoguery. He will speak briefly but to the point. He will make erudite, concise, influential, statements directed towards the essence of the topics at hand, covering all the important points and bringing exact solutions.

Mahdi(pbuh) is a calm, tranquil, gentle person. In the hadith, our Prophet (saas) says that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be ruling from his home. He is a teacher of love. He is the one who will ensure that the whole world loves one another.

People do not devote themselves completely to God; I can see that there is a great mass of people who would abandon religion once it conflicts with their interests. The Mahdi (pbuh), on the other hand, is a person who would always ask for the good pleasure of God even if it conflicts with all his interests. As it is understood from the hadiths, he would withdraw himself from all aspects of social life.

The Prophet Solomon (pbuh) is the forefather of the Mahdi (pbuh). Hazrat Mahdi will be very much like the Prophet Solomon (pbuh). Mahdi (pbuh) will also love arts, beauty and glory a lot. He will adorn the world. Our Prophet (saas) says that he will prosper the whole world, for Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).

There is a symbol of a "deadlock" in Freemasonry. That is a five-thousand year old symbol used to symbolize that the world will come to a deadlock and that Mahdi (pbuh) will be the one to solve that deadlock.

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."

People saw that they can be religious in their hearts and souls. They have seen that they can listen to music; they have seen that women can wander around without covering their heads yet be religious and perform their prayers at the same time. Therefore, religion has become widespread covertly in Turkey and found a great foundation everywhere.

Since we do not make any claims about a genocide, it would not be right for our Armenian brothers to make any claims about a genocide. There was a war going on. What should be done is to bind up the wounds of that war altogether with friendship and brotherhood.

We will unite Armenia with Turkey. We will open up our borders and abolish the necessity of carrying passports and needing visas. It will be possible to come to Turkey from Armenia merely with an identity card and vice versa. This issue will then be resolved.

We have love inside and out; we have love in our hearts. It is love that will save the world. God wants love. The Qur'an tells us about love from cover to cover. The Qur'an is the book of love.
