Just as Prophet Joseph's (pbuh) brothers didn't recognise him until the right time came, people will not recognise the Mahdi until it's time.

Our Prophet (pbuh) foretold that the Mahdi will turn hard hearts into diamonds. The Mahdi is the teacher of love for the world.

Moshiach awaited by Jews is the same person with the Mahdi. The rule of the Mahdi means the rule of the Islamic morality.

Momentous incidents will occur before the advent of the Mahdi and Jesus the Messiah. Everyone should remain resolute; the end will be all good.

According the hadiths, no negative accusation, no trap set against them would ever have an impact on the Mahdi and his followers.

All communities in the Muslim world and Turkey love and wait for the Mahdi. Every member of the Naqshbandi and the Qadiriyya wait for the Mahdi with love.

The Mahdi is mentioned in the Torah and Gospels in large context. In many verses of the Qur'an there are words used as references to the Mahdi.

In verses of the Qur'an it's revealed that Muslims in need for help pray to Allah to send them a Mahdi, meaning a savior.

Prophet Jesus and the Mahdi will be physically alike. The Mahdi will have many traits resembling to other Prophets.

We will rebuild the Temple of Prophet Solomon (pbuh) together. The Mahdi (Moshiach) will be instrumental to end all wars.

It is great that Netanyahu called for friendship with Iranians. But real peace and friendship will be possible with the Mahdi (Moshiach).

A document in the British archives (no# CAB/23-35, 11 Jan. 1920) shows that there was a plan of the British deep state to make Istanbul a separate country.

The term “junction between the two seas” (Qur’an, 18/61) in the story of Khidr indicates to Istanbul. The story of Khidr refers to the Mahdi movement.

The hadiths of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) states that the Mahdi will definitely appear even if there is one day left for the Last Day to break. The fact that the Mahdi will appear in Istanbul has been stated in the Jewish resources as well.

Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) has explicitly stated that the Mahdi will appear in Istanbul.

The Ark of the Covenant will be found soon and everyone will see the holy relics such as the staff of the Prophet Moses -mentioned in the Qur’an- the tablets and the ring of the Prophet Solomon.

Incorrectly applied urbanization in Istanbul erases aesthetics of the city entirely. On the contrary, the city should be expanded outwards and the Bosphorus should be made completely green.

Istanbul is a very special, very historical city. God prepared Istanbul specially for the movement of Mahdi.

The Ark of the Covenant, the sacred relic from the time of the Prophet Moses (pbuh), will be found and this will change the whole world.

People will experience many wonders, many miracles in the coming years. This is a great blessing for the youth of this period. They will see the Prophet Jesus and Hazrat Mahdi, the Holy Ark will be found, they will see the holy relics, the treasures underneath the Kaaba will be discovered, the grave of Nimrod will be opened and all the secret information buried there will be revealed, all the secrets of Egypt will be revealed. The freewill of the mind would not be taken away but amazingly wonderful events will take place in the next 3-5-10 years.

Holy relics of the Prophet Solomon and the Ark of the Covenant of the Prophet Moses will be found. The Holy Ark will be opened in the presence of Muslims, Jews and Christians. Very big incidents will take place. People should be prepared for those things.

Templars will help Mahdi (pbuh) in finding the Holy Relics. Their duty is to deliver the Holy Relics to the Mahdi (pbuh). This is the duty and the mission of Templars. They are working to this end for thousands of years.

We will rebuild the prayer house of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh). We will rebuild the exact replica of the Prophet Solomon's palace as well and we will certainly find the Holy Ark. We will find the holy relics inside the Holy Ark. With the finding of the Holy Ark there will be no one who doesn't have faith in the world.

I started preaching religion in 1979 when I was at University of Mimar Sinan. It was the fortress of Marxism at the time.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) also preached to people most distant to religion at the fair of Ukaz. We will also preach to people who are very distant to religion.
