The hearts of those who wait for the Mahdi (pbuh) should be at ease. They should not make haste. Their reward is increasing as the time they wait increases. They should think about that as collecting handfuls of gold. One would collect more as Almighty God gives him another 24 hours to collect.

After the appearance of the Mahdi (pbuh) and the establishment of the Islamic Union, the impact of the good deeds one collects would drop from one million to three. That is because the rest will be very easy. All hardships will thus be removed. The antichrist (dajjal) will then be dead. The attacks of one’s lower-self would be removed as well, so everything will be fine.

There will be no murder and slaughter in the time of the Mahdi (pbuh). There will be no bloodshed. Radiance will come when Islam comes, love will come.

Unbelievers are one nation. Some of them appear as the militants of the PKK, some others will appear in another form. The same holds true for ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria); it is a system that doesn’t abide by the Qur’an and it acts in line with the system of the idolaters. Eventually they will abide by the Mahdi (pbuh) and bend their knees before him.

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.

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and his students are the “B’nai Israel” of the End Times. In the Torah, when we look for B’nai Israel the first thing that comes to mind is the Moshiach, that is, the Mahdi and his students. They are the true B’nai Israel.

The whole world is kicking up a row for the Mahdi. The incidents will become intensified even further in the following months. A person and a group that they least expected will assume the task of leading the Islamic world. The whole of Europe and the US will support this group.

Young girls will live their lives fully as young girls and so will the young men. The group of the Mahdi (pbuh) will pull people out of their graves, so to speak. In the hadiths our Prophet (saas) says “He will rejuvenate the world that was ruined before,” for Hazrat 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.

Moshiach, Mahdi (pbuh) is the force that will weaken the strength of the satan. God has given that power, that means to him.

Women are being oppressed everywhere in the world and people are merely watching this oppression. With the system of the Mahdi this scourge will be removed. Mahdi (pbuh) will annihilate this scourge. The system in which women are held in high esteem, in which women enjoy utmost freedom, is the system of the Mahdi.

When you talk about Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) you will be aware of the antichrist (dajjal); when you talk about the dajjal you will be aware of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). These two constitute a whole. I mean everything is created with its contrast; like day and night, or good and bad. If there is a dajjal, there absolutely is a Mahdi; if there is a Mahdi, there absolutely is a dajjal.

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).

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.

Mahdi (pbuh) is a man of love. He is not a stern, despotic, domineering person. He is a man living in his home. He is a man who functions as a supporting wall for the Islamic world constantly pointing out the importance of love. Mahdi (pbuh) will also not interfere with the government, he will not interfere in politics.

Mahdi (pbuh) is a fervent implementer of love. He is a man who fervently distributes love that the whole world needs to the whole world.

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).

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).

Bigotry, fanaticism is such a scourge on humanity. Fanaticism and misinterpretation of the Qur'an is what lies at the root of the troubles the whole Islamic world is now suffering from. They make havoc. These all stem from the conservative Orthodox understanding of Islam. There is such a scourge upon the world and Mahdi (pbuh) is the one who will save us all from this scourge.

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.

According to the references in the hadiths, ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) will enter the service of the system of the Mahdi. They will put aside this current mentality of theirs. There will be no more bloodshed. There will be no further violence.

The students of the Mahdi(pbuh) are under the protection of God.

Islam is all about love, compassion and mercy. However the system of the Mahdi would not come into existence without the system of the antichrist (dajjal). Cruelty will come first, then compassion will follow; cold-heartedness will come first, then compassion will follow; first there will be lack of love, then love will come. Almighty God creates all these for people in order for them to appreciate these blessings.

One should improve himself even further, increase his knowledge, memorize the Qur’an. One should try and put every verse of the Qur’an into practice, enforce his patience, strengthen his will-power, strengthen his faith. One should widen and strengthen his submission to God and root the love of this world out of his heart. One should not be affected by the ignorant ones who forget about God.
