One wouldn’t become the Mahdi by striving for it. One wouldn’t become the Mahdi by propaganda. The Prophet Moses (pbuh) did not become a prophet by propaganda; he didn’t become a prophet by striving for it either. He became a prophet because of his morality, because of his patience in the face of hardships.

One cannot become a Mahdi simply because he wants to become the Mahdi or by working hard for it. One is born to be the Mahdi (as) and God preordains in destiny who Mahdi (as) will be. Fame and making fuss wouldn’t ensure it, working hard wouldn’t ensure it. It is all about the heart. The system of the Mahdi is all about profound faith.

Returning to the times of Ottomans is never a possibility. I mean there is no policy to be called neo-Ottomans. There is only the policy of the system of the Mahdi. The system of the Mahdi is what we call the unity of the Islamic world. And the person to lead that unity is called the Mahdi. That will be made possible with the support of the Jesus Messiah.

Mahdi (pbuh) is the person who performs everything that is beautiful, everything that is really very very beautiful. He is the one who will encourage the performance of beauty, the one who will perform beauty and who will make the world perform beauty.

The duty of the Mahdi (pbuh) is to be a man of love. He teaches love and beauty; this is his profession. God makes one love, God makes one love all those He created. The person charged of making the world a place like heaven is called the Mahdi.

All the Islamic world is restless. No state could bring about peace and tranquility to the Islamic world. Russia is restless, Europe is restless, USA is restless. The whole world will attain peace and tranquility with the Jesus Messiah and the Mahdi (pbuh) insha'Allah.

Striving to be the Mahdi, putting an effort to this end wouldn’t be enough. One needs to be born as the Mahdi. He should be assigned as the Mahdi in his destiny by God.

“And your Lord would not have destroyed the cities unjustly while their people were reformers.”(Surah Hud; 117) So God says; “I would not destroy a country in which Islam is preached, in which genuine Muslims reside.” That is why no harm will fall on Turkey because Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) resides here. No big disasters will befall on Turkey, no calamities would fall upon Turkey. There will only be success and victory.

The system of the Mahdi is the most important incident ever since the creation of this world. All the prophets, ever since the Prophet Adam (pbuh) have drawn attention to the Mahdi. The Prophet Noah (pbuh), the Prophet Abraham (pbuh), the Prophet Moses (pbuh) have all drawn attention to the Mahdi (pbuh).

Almighty God conceals the Mahdi because people would persecute him if they knew. He conceals the Mahdi behind 70 veils. They keep saying, “This person cannot be the Mahdi (pbuh) because of this and that aspect.” They invent 70 different excuses. Almighty God conceals him with Hidden Knowledge: With the Secret Knowledge, with the knowledge of Unseen.

People will approach the community of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) with suspicion as well. The whole Islamic world will have suspicions about them, and because of those suspicions they will only be 313 people.

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.

Did the Prophet Joseph (pbuh) have tanks and cannonballs? No, he didn’t. Did he have thousands of students? No, he didn’t. Did he have money? No, he didn’t. What did he have? He had sincerity. He was the Mahdi of his time. God made him victorious. What condition does Almighty God has for that? One should be able to endure hardships, one should be patient in the face of hardships and sufferings. Or else no result can be attained if one tries to present himself as if he is facing hardships yet not really facing any hardships.

Muslims recognize the Mahdi (pbuh) with their foresight, perception and with the light of their faith. Just like people recognizing our Prophet (saas) with the light of their faith, just like his students recognizing Bediuzzaman Said Nursi with the light of their faith, Muslims will also recognize the Mahdi (pbuh) with the light of their faith.

Satan has acquired an enormous army. The army of the Mahdi (pbuh) is very small, but you will see that small army will intellectually pull down the army of the antichrist. The army of the satan means the army of the antichrist.

At the time of the Mahdi no one would ever throw things at each other. Consequently there would be no need for even one anti-riot water cannon vehicle. Those vehicles will be used for watering gardens in the End Times, at the time of the Mahdi (pbuh).

In the time of the Mahdi (pbuh) no one would attempt to lynch someone else; there will only be beauty, love and sincerity. There will be fear of God and love of God everywhere we go. Now, people are hurting one another for no reason.

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).

There is bound to be violence in places where the system of the Mahdi does not prevail. God is showing that to people and He will continue to do so. We will all come to see that the coming days will be even fiercer. That will continue until love is formed in the hearts towards Jesus Messiah, Mahdi (pbuh) and the Islamic Union.

God wants the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and the Jesus Messiah (pbuh). He would thus tear down all those that stand in the way. Anything contrary to that is not possible. What God wills is bound to happen.

Iraq will be destroyed. It is not possible for the world to be saved in any way other than the system of the Mahdi. It is not possible without the system of the Mahdi. If they plead ignorance in the face of this, God will make them understand forcefully. So there has to be Mahdi (pbuh), there has to be Jesus Messiah (pbuh), there has to be Islamic Union.

This is a world that would not let you stay in your houses in comfort and deal with your checks, title deeds and your trade. It is not a world that you can be graduated from your school in peace and get married and deal with your own business. God would not give way to this. God did not create this world for this. God wants the appearance of the Mahdi; He wants the appearance of the Jesus Messiah and the global rule of Islam.

There will be a whole different Turkey in three-five years. The world will be completely different. The vigorous and strong structure of the system of the Mahdi is progressing step by step Alhamdulillah.

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.

There has never been another period in the history of Islam ever since the time of our Prophet (saas) in which people kept saying “Mahdi will not come” this much. And there has never been another period in which the system of the Mahdi has been explained as extensively as today.
