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.

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.

Love is in the forefront in Christianity. Muslims should read the Gospels. Not the parts that are corrupted but they should read those passages that are compatible with the Qur'an. Love is depicted in Gospels. There are also very beautiful passages in the Torah depicting love very nicely.

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.

They present Christmas as if it is a tragedy. We celebrated the birthday of our Prophet (saas) with pride and we do so every year. Why are they appalled with the birthday of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh)? He too is a prophet of Islam. He too is one of our Prophets.

God protects and nurtures Muslims. Sometimes Almighty God takes them to His Sight. Just like He took the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) to His Sight, just like He took the Prophet John (pbuh) and the Prophet Zechariah (pbuh) to His Sight as martyrs, but that would all be for the good of Muslims in any case.

Seventy veils conceals Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), he is very difficult to see. He is concealed in such a way that even Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will not be able to see himself. That is how Almighty God conceals him. The Torah commentator Rabbis say, “His mother, his father, his family would not be able to recognize Moschiach Mahdi." He is that much concealed.

Breaking the leg of Satan everywhere he steps foot is one of the characteristics of the Mahdi. Wiping out the footfalls of fascism, making the whole world taste freedom, joy, the festive spirit and joy of faith, creating an amazing level of social justice are all the characteristics of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).

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

The minds of many of those around the Prophet Moses (pbuh) were wrapped up with the unbelievers. I mean they'd gone to the desert but they did not forget the life they'd had back in Egypt. They were infatuated with everything about Egypt, they admired that ancient Egyptian culture, those cows, the life back there, their way of eating and drinking. A great majority of them remained in that insane spirit until the prophet Moses (pbuh) passed.

The Prophet Moses (pbuh) preached to Pharaoh, and the Prophet Abraham preached to Nimrod. A Muslim will speak to and preach to anyone, be they atheist, communist or whatever.

No movement against the system of the Mahdi could ever be successful. Any movement that rejects the second coming of the prophet Jesus Messiah (pbuh) is bound to be defeated.

All the incidents take place as foretold in the hadiths. We will see Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and we will see the prophet Jesus Messiah as well. We will see the Islamic Union and we will all pass away after we do our duty. No one will remain here. The ones that remain the last will follow us as well, the world will be empty and then the Last Day will break loose.

Hypocrites in the time of the Prophet Moses sought dignity and honor at Pharaoh’s side. Those Egyptian inscriptions and statues were all the equivalents of branding for them. Having hieroglyphics on the walls of their homes, wearing Egyptian clothing and speaking Egyptian were all very important to them.

Jesus Christ will be engaged in a clandestine activity. Mahdi (as) is out in the open but since Allah has covered and hid the Mahdi under 70 veils, no one can find him out until the last moment.

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is a man of love, mercy, compassion, wisdom, friendship, beauty and aesthetics. Europe will accept him, the US will accept him, whole world freemasonry will lovingly accept him, all the Templars, the Rosicrucian Fellowship and all the deep state organizations will accept him. That is why Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be the imam of the world.

The more hardships suffered, the more the good deeds acquired would be. The difficulties Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) encounters are countless. Every single hardship encountered is a step ahead. For instance, think about a 1,000 kilometer-long ladder, 1,000 kilometers of ascending steps; one climbs up incessantly and the spiritual ranks he attains elevate incessantly.

There is the need for this pest named the PKK, so that there will be a national awakening. No such awakening will ever take place without that pest. I mean without the Pharaoh, there would be no Moses. Without Nimrod, there would be no Abraham. Without the Antichrist, there would be no Mahdi.

Pious Jews are quite pleasant people. They love God dearly, have good morals, are honest, and devoted to God through a passionate love. How nice it is that they have been devoted to the Prophet Moses (pbuh), devoted the Torah for 3500 years.

A pharmaceutical factory writes how to use a drug on its package; otherwise, one might use that drug wrongly and might get sick. God, Who created us together with this world, sent us ready information on how to use this world. These are the Holy Books; the Psalms, the Torah, the Gospel, the Qur'an and the other pages sent before.

The beautiful aspect of the Gospel is that it talks a lot about love. The Gospel talks a lot about affection, friendship, forgiveness and brotherhood. It is very refreshing in that respect. It is very pleasant.

Wisdom is a beauty God likes. Some people talk plenty but lack wisdom. Wisdom has nothing to do with a lot of knowledge and a lot of verbalism. One might be a walking library but lack that profundity and fail to perceive the wisdom behind that knowledge. Such people only concentrate on the arrogance and snobbery knowledge could bring them. Actually knowledge can only be used for wisdom.

The system of the Mahdi is not a claim but a demonstration. Islam prevails in the world and an individual takes the lead of the Islamic world. We can then think that he is the Mahdi (pbuh), God knows the truth and that is all (we can do). We cannot enunciate it either, we can only say, "God knows the truth, he might be the one."

Neither the Last Day nor death would have any aspect that would make Muslims uneasy. It would offend God if Muslims think that they would be persecuted or suffer somehow. That is because God says, "Trust Me, if you are good no harm would ever touch you." Muslims should always think good and well about God.

The whole issue is in submitting to God wholeheartedly and in loving God. Once you attain that, you would progress steadily on the right path. You might want to go faster, but God would not let you speed up. The system of the Mahdi is a system that progresses slowly. The followers of the Mahdi blossom out slowly as well. No matter how much they want it, no matter what they do, God makes them fill in that preordained time.
