The first affliction that comes upon a person when he does not act by his good conscience is the loss of his mind. Such a person would lose his mind. Would he be aware of his situation? No, he won't be aware: That is because he would be left to his intelligence alone, so he cannot understand his situation. His mind would be lost and he would be left to his intelligence alone. God generally does not take away one's intelligence, but He takes away his mind. Except for some rare occasions, God does not take away one's intelligence. However when God takes away one's mind, his intelligence would no longer have any use for him. His intelligence would only get him into troubles from then on. Intelligence would make him grovel.

It is of course very important to be at our Prophet (saas)'s elbow. It is a great comfort for the Companions of our Prophet (saas). Actually people do not know the Islamic community that well. Muslims are like a big family. If one has a mansion with thirty rooms for instance, he fills it will Muslims, the food is cooked for all of them. The goods are distributed. Trade is done together, everything is shared and done commonly. That is an unprecedented system.

It would not be acceptable if love is contaminated with idolatry. For instance, one might say, "I do love my friend a lot, I do love my spouse a lot." And when then asked, "Do you love God?" he says, "I love God as well." That is not acceptable. He should say, "I love my spouse for the good pleasure of God, I love my friend for the good pleasure of God. I love them as the manifestations of God."

When you love someone, you don't act curtly towards that person, you don't act stingy, you do not act egotistically; you look out for that person's comfort, you have that person's best interests at heart.

There is no ambition of ownership in the morality described in the Qur'an. Everything belongs to everyone; brotherhood comes to the forefront. Everyone shares everything they have with their brothers. They will share everything they have, everything they eat, they drink, they wear, everything they own. There will be no such thing as hoarding goods, acting ambitiously, etc. These are all things that they have come up with later on saying, "You are to give one fortieth of the gold you own," etc. There is no such thing. The Qur'an tells us to give whatever is surplus to our actual needs.

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.

People do not devote themselves completely to God; I can see that there is a great mass of people who would abandon religion once it conflicts with their interests. The Mahdi (pbuh), on the other hand, is a person who would always ask for the good pleasure of God even if it conflicts with all his interests. As it is understood from the hadiths, he would withdraw himself from all aspects of social life.

The best form of resting is – of course we do not do this for God to let us rest, but for the good pleasure of God- is perfect connection with God. There is no rest other than that. I mean one should never weaken his connection with God under no conditions. Saying, "I will put things right later on," is wrong.

Man has a great power of resistance. He orders his brain and doesn't do what Satan orders. For instance, he would serve Islam. The lower-self says, "I am exhausted!" a Muslim responds to his lower-self saying, "You create that tiredness with prompting," and says, "What exhaustion are you talking about? You would be jumping up and down if you were told that you would be given five thousand liras. You are lying, it is not true." Even if the lower-self says, "I am spent, I am tired, I am about to drop down," a Muslim would say, "If there were something in it for you, you would go insane and all energetic."

If you told those [who are weak in faith] to remain sleepless for the sake of God, to serve Islam, they wouldn't do that; but if you told them that they would win a car if they waited standing up for days without any sleep, they would do it without hesitation. This shows the tendency of the inner self to assume an animalistic, dishonorable, low character.

Anyone who does not do what he does for God’s sake will inevitably be defeated. The important thing is God’s approval. The way will always be clear for anyone who seeks His approval. This is a secret and unknown force.

The whole world is in misery right now because of their stinginess. There are a handful of wealthy people and they constitute, let us say, 1% of the world's population and the other 99% is in poverty. As the manifestation of the Qur'anic verses, the whole world is in misery. If they give up that tight-fisted attitude, the whole world would become rich.

It is not befitting of a Muslim to make estimations or calculations when handing out a part of his possessions as charity. A believer gives his possessions without counting and bragging about it.

If you are handing out charity to the poor, why do you care about how much it weighs? You may give or hand out as much as you can afford. You may give as much clothes or food as one can carry. Why are you measuring it in grams or whatnot? It is not befitting of the morals of Islam for one to weigh the goods to be handed out. One should hand them out by handfuls, in abundance.

At the time of our Prophet (saas) they were intimidating weak and characterless people. They were thus preventing them from joining our Prophet(saas). But those with strong faith and personality always remained beside the Messenger of God (saas).

According to the morality of the Qur'an, accumulation of possessions and money is a shameful act. A Muslim does not accumulate any money; he distributes it for auspicious deeds.

How could a loving person be stingy? He would of course be very generous and distribute all he has in the path of God. When a person loves, he becomes crazy for the love of God. He would only have eyes for the love of God and he would say, "What else would I do with all these materials things?" He searches and becomes madly in love with the love of God.

God is the One Who gives goods to people. If people attempt to keep all they are given as their own possessions, the body becomes gangrene, the whole system becomes gangrene. The social system, life becomes gangrene, economic crisis starts and people plunge into afflictions.

Stinginess is unlawful in religion. Becoming ambitious with what God has entrusted us and not distributing what God has given is not right according to the Qur’an.

Now, what should be done in Cizre? We should make the homes of our brave people, our Kurdish brothers, our radiant brothers even beautiful than before. If they have lost their possessions and goods, we should compensate them many times over. If they do not have food to eat or for instance if they have lost their 10 kg of rice, we should take 100 kg of rice in a sack and give it to them. That would bring about plenty.

Our conservative Orthodox Muslim brothers assume that the Mahdi will come and see that the current radicalism as something very light and say, "What kind of bigotry is that? I will do a hundred times more of it." They believe that the world will be plunged into a pitch black darkness after him. The fact is however that Hazrat Mahdi will solve radicalism from the roots once and for all.

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will remove the chains on people. An intellectual, reasonable, lively and loving understanding of Islam will rule.

The reason for separation is weakness in faith. If your love is for God, why would you ever leave? But if your love is for your own interests, who comes for interests would leave for interests.

They did not have a copy of the Qur'an in any of the Masonic Lodges. I have ensured that they have a copy of the Holy Qur'an in every single one of the Masonic Lodges. God made me instrumental in this.

The American deep state's standpoint regarding our people is really bad and very wrong. Their standpoint regarding Iraq proved to be true to a large extent; so was their standpoint regarding Syria. But we will show them that their standpoint regarding Turkey is not right. They assume that they will get by with what they are doing now and that they will easily use Turkey. That will never happen.
