How does one pray when he is harmed somehow? Perfectly. How is one's connection with God? Perfect. How is his respect? Perfect. But he has been harmed with troubles; he is not motivated without those troubles. Why are you waiting for those troubles to hit you? One should constantly be in the state he is when troubles hit him.

Troubles and afflictions only sharpen and strengthen people. This is the way God disciplines. Or else a great portion of people would remain heedless.

One acts impertinently against our Prophet (saas) and God heaps troubles upon him. He struggles against religion and God heaps troubles upon him. He strives against Islam and God heaps troubles upon him. He struggles against the champion of Islam, against a person serving God and God heaps troubles upon him. Observe what happens to such people and you will see: You will see that whoever struggles against the saints of God, against those who struggle in the Path of God, is plagued by God.

When in comfort, they unite against God in wide masses and rebel against God almost worldwide. When they are crushed, they pray to God and beg. What is the need for that crushing? Do not do that, be wise, repent. Be thankful to God and say, “O Lord, You are Great, I do love You so much” and see that God would make blessings rain down on you. Why are you looking for trouble? Why do you go astray and run riot? Why do you crush yourself?

Eat, drink and travel; anyone can do that. There will be hardships, there will be illnesses, there will be difficulties, there will be troubles and scourges and you will love God deeply just the same against all odds. That is what Almighty God loves the most.

People keep asking why do troubles find them? If you feel thankful, troubles would not follow you. But if you fail to do that, you would be deserving of those troubles. Muslims are of course tried, but would not be plagued.

Love of God, closeness to God drives away scourges. Living by Islam meticulously, heeding the lawful and unlawful acts defined in the Qur'an is what drives away scourges.

Almighty God gives blessings in abundance but the lack of thanking Him for those blessings is really irritating. You are invited to a palace, there are amazing foods, desserts, yet you simply eat them and leave yelling and kicking the door with your foot on your way out. Neither a thank you, nor any admiration; that would of course draw scourges upon you.

God gives abundance and relief onto those who strive on His Path and casts troubles and problems on those with ill-will, as you can see. God opens the way for those striving on the good path. That is a miracle. God eases the way for those who want to advance on His path.

Every time a hypocrite makes things difficult for a Muslim, he finds he has been drawn a bit closer to hell. And troubles in this world also begin plaguing him even more.

The fact that the majority of the Islamic world is living in idolatry causes scourges on them, that is, Muslims’ fighting with each other. This is a spiritual disaster on them.

God wants to draw people’s attention to Himself, yet many get persistently away from Him. Becoming distant from God brings trouble.

The meaning of the word ‘Qaht’ is scourge, poverty and scarcity. Qahtani is one of those individuals that will appear before the Mahdi and shed blood.

It is a painful truth that people do not get better before scourges befall on them. That is the Custom of God and a truth stated in the Qur'an.

If one honestly and sincerely thinks and realizes that everything belongs to God, all the troubles and pains caused by idolatry will be gone immediately.

Women should be high and honorable in your eyes, they should be great and they should be given great value. In many place they do not value women. Then they would be lost, you would be loosing. Allah would take away that blessing from you. That would turn into a scourge. It would darken your soul and would feet very bad.

Almighty Allah has created the End of Times very hard so that the deeds attained would be very rich. The more the troubles, the problems are, the higher will be the rank of that person.

If Al-Bashar Al-Assad were to talk about the system of the Mahdi, Allah would take this scourge from him, the scourge would glide over him.

Some say; "We can be happy without Allah." No my brother, that would never be the case. Allah would give scourges on you and exhaust your means. How could something like that happen? In that case, there will be no meaning to life.

No matter what happens, Muslims always stand strong. Allah is the One Who creates all scourges, all troubles. Those who do not suffer hardships would not know love.

We are being educated for Heaven with troubles that are coming one after the other. Without the hardships you would become sick. Hardships beautify you. The more hardship raining down on you, the more good deeds you would be attaining.

Troubles frequently check out people and when it is established that the person is after goodness they turn away and leave him/her alone.

The solution is the system of the Mahdi. Unless people abide by the commands of Allah, scourges will rain down upon them.

The sickness and scourges in the world at this moment stem from being away from the Qur'an. When people hold tight to the Qur'an- and that will be by means of the system of the Mahdi- people will be saved from this sickness.

You will not be separated, you will be united. All this talk about disintegration comes from satan. Unity comes from Allah. In integration, in unity there is goodness. Separation is a malignant thing, it is a scourge. No one should even mention it.
