They did not have a copy of the Qur'an in any of the Masonic Lodges. I have ensured that they have a copy of the Holy Qur'an in every single one of the Masonic Lodges. God made me instrumental in this.

For one to live by the Qur'an, the Qur'an should be all around him. He should have the Qur'an right by his side, at his desk. He should hold on to the Qur'an like bread, like water.

The hadiths that do not conflict with the Qur'an are authentic. Every hadith that complies with the Qur'an is authentic. For instance, if our Prophet (saas) foretells an incident that will take place in the End Times, the hadith that tells us about that incident is authentic and valid.

Good morality is necessary for people to live well in society. The Qur'an is the source of good morality. Societies can lead a normal life only when the commands in the Qur'an related with humaneness are put into practice.

Every time one gets away from Islam, from the Qur'an, from Muslims, every single second is written as a sin against you, every single second. You will answer for every single second. Keeping away from Islam, from the Qur'an, from Muslims is unlawful. You might assume that it is something easy, but you would have to give an account for every such single second in the Hereafter.

Keeping away from Muslims means keeping away from God. Keeping away from the Qur'an means keepng away from God. Keeping away from the cause of Islam means keeping away from God.

When the Qur'an is carefully studied, we see that all of the perfect rules that could make it possible to live in this world like it is Heaven are very thoroughly covered. That is to say, when the Qur'an is practiced completely, individuals lead a perfect life. They become very stable and societies lead a very perfect life as well.

The most reasonable, the most perfect arrangement that is needed for people to live happily in a community is defined in the Qur'an.

When one reads the Qur'an, wisdom settles in him and he becomes completely reasonable and rational. The Qur'an is the book of reason. It is a light that causes wisdom to settle in the brain. Normally wisdom is not formed in one's brain, only intelligence. When the human brain comes into contact with the Qur'an, wisdom and reason settles in. Otherwise, wisdom cannot possibly be attained, only intelligence can.

Our Prophet (saas) did not call people to himself, but to the Qur'an. None of the prophets called people to themselves but rather, to the Books of God. For instance, the Prophet Moses (pbuh) called to the Torah, the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) called to the Gospel. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be calling people to the Qur'an as well.

When they talk about religion they assume that it is all about memorizing the verses, knowing the Qur'an by heart and reciting the verses with tajwid, being careful about idgham (merging). Actually the essence and the wisdom in the Qur'an is what is important. I mean putting the meaning in the Qur'an into practice is important, not reciting the Qur'an by being careful with idgham and qalqalah (adding a slight bounce or reduced vowel sound). Arabs can do that effortlessly in the best manner, but there are also a lot of them who do not put those verses into life, into practice.

It would be very strange for a Muslim not to know anything about the Torah and the Gospels. God refers to the Torah and the Gospels in the Qur'an. It is not acceptable if you refer to them as if you are talking about a myth. They are living, current Books. You simply do not practice those corrupted passages.

Some people get into a weird romanticism, a weird state of mind when one talks about religion. God should be remembered with a rational attitude.

Being slack in talking about God is an unlawful act. This is an affliction upon the Muslim world. They do not feel the need to preach religion. They say, "There is the Religious Affairs Directorate and they are doing this anyway. Why should we preach religion?" The fact is, however, preaching religion is a religious duty upon all Muslims.

The US used to praise God's name profusely and it used to be rich. They started to grovel when they started to invoke God's name less and less. Russia used to invoke God's name less and they were groveling. Now they've started to talk about God and God gave them a little relief.

Those who do not mention God, who distance themselves from God feel a sense of agitation and tension; a groundless sense of fear, a considerable anxiety. God afflicts them with restlessness.

Turkish people are known with their faith in God. Takbir (praising God) is food for our souls. Hearts find peace by praising God.

Even the smallest effort is very valuable in the Sight of God. Reciting the Name of God even once would bring about abundance, contentment and stave off scourges.

The power of enjoying things would be taken away from those who forget God in a very short time. They start saying, “I cannot have fun as I used to. I do not enjoy music as much as I used to. Something happened to me.” A miracle happened and you should see that. They start saying, “I am fed up with all these things, and maybe that is why.” In fact one would never be fed up with love, with beauty but a scourge befalls such people. One should always seek refuge in God.

A great majority of people might be in a forgetful mindset regarding God; one should not see them as real and be affected by them. God might be showing those people to him in such a state. For instance, one might be going to a disco or a nightclub and people there might not even say one word about God. He should not say, “So this is how people are. This is how this world works. Is there something wrong with me?” He should know that he is on the right path and the others have gone astray.

One would be happy and have his mind relieved when he performs his prayers, when he performs ablution, when he submits to God’s will, mentions the Name of God, reads the Qur’an. God has created man in a way that he would feel that need. One would be suffocated if he doesn’t live all these beauties. These are all blessings that prevent one to be drawn in that water, these are lifesaving blessings.

Great majority of Muslims have their foresight and perception closed. Or else how is it possible to seclude one's self and do invocations while children are being killed elsewhere? Do your invocations as you spend your time protecting them, do invocations that would save those children.

Frequent repetition gives relief to hearts. Repetitions are nice. God's Name is mentioned repeatedly, love is voiced repeatedly. One would not ever feel weary of remembering God's Name and pronouncing beauties.

Angels intensify in places that people strive on the way of Allah. The places they like most are gatherings of invocation where discourses of Qur’an are made. And the archangels never leave Mahdi’s (pbuh) side.

Those who become victorious in their struggle against the whisperings of satan are called faithful. The whisperings of satan would be incessant, Satan would constantly pester you. Bediuzzaman says, 'Even if the armies of doubt come at one's door, verified faith would resist, but imitated faith would be defeated.' That is why we are preparing books on the facts leading to faith and make them available for you. I mean, we do that for you to be able to resist against the armies of doubt. Muslims become heroes because of their resistance and they thus become valuable in the Sight of God.
