Turkey must avoid classical political opposition for now. We are passing through a difficult period of British deep state pressure.

Democracy is about diversity of thought, freedom to pursue different political goals. But our people don't want deceit or plots.

The Mahdi will not be involved in politics. The Mahdi system is about wisdom, spirituality, friendship and brotherhood. The Mahdi will have no political concerns.

Said Nursi also explained that the Mahdi would stay away from politics. The Mahdi will provide ideological support to politics, but will not actively take part in it.

Muslims will have existence in every sphere of life; in football, in politics, in arts.

Classical politics is now over in Turkey as a new era of solidarity and brotherhood begins.

This is not the time to see political differences. This is a time for the unity of all patriots, regardless of differences.

The Mahdi will be a person of love; he will not have anything to do with politics.

They were imagining that they could corner the government and Turkey with a policy that is hostile towards everyone. They are in pain because their plots are thwarted.

Prominent artists, politicians and celebrities should assume the mission of being a role model about talking nicely and encourage the youth.

No political party can become powerful without a philosophical foundation. This lack of a philosophical foundation was the reason why right-wing parties used to step back in the past in Turkey. We have been the ones who laid this powerful philosophical foundation by intellectually defeating Darwinism.

Politicians should be ‘men and women of the people’; always praising God, happy, humble, loving and down-to-earth.

Some of our bureaucrats and politicians fail to precisely detect the sycophants of the British deep state. In fact, such people have quite obvious signs.

The state should be looking out for the system of the Mahdi with all its might. That is because in the system of the Mahdi, there is no intervention to the state. The system of the Mahdi would not interfere in politics; that is because it has a feature that unites the Turkish world, and it is also a system against bigotry, a system that fully encourages modernity and is fundamentally against separation. That is absolutely ideal for the state.

Politics is like a great sea of troubles. The world of politics is very dark. There is an egotistical and selfish structure. It has cruel methods. There is no room for loyalty and fidelity in politics.

Islam would not prevail through politics. Revealing and explaining the miracles of the Qur'an, explaining the facts leading to faith, citing the faithful, powerful people as an example, spreading the love of God: This is what we should be dealing with.

Politics is very cruel in itself. It is not easy. That is why what those who strive for spreading Islam should be doing is to explain the facts leading to faith, explaining the miracles of the Qur'an, reinforcing their own faith and fervor. Otherwise they cannot cope with such things.

Politics is complex. Those who are concerned with Islamic Union will not come up with anything from politics but politics can be directed rationally from a distance.

The reason why women do not get involved with politics is that it is a very merciless system. It is a system of gossip, a system of corruption; an inconceivable flywheel operates. Wherever you go, you see it more or less. Of course in the time of the system of the Mahdi there will be no such thing, there will be no such merciless system. They are tormenting themselves in vain.

The political world is something completely different. It is a cruel, merciless system. It is a system in which the best person would instantly be chewed up, a system that requires an enormous spirit of competition and tough struggles.

Religion does not serve politics, politics serve religion. We are making politics serve religion. Politics is simply a servant. Religion is the law of God. Knowingly or unwittingly, everyone would serve religion.

When you speak of politics, love and compassion should come to mind. Politics should be under the command of love, it should serve love. At the time of the Mahdi, politics will be the source of love and affection; it will be used to attain love and affection, Insha’Allah.

Being based on a very strong belief system is a specialty of the system of the Mahdi. That is the reason why it is invincible. Policy should be installed upon a very strong basis of faith. Strong political maneuvers are of no value. Systems based on strong political maneuvers are bound to be destroyed, they definitely fail. This should not be forgotten.

Plans should be made by taking how Turkey and the rest of the region will be in thirty years' time into consideration. If a system is not founded on a strong belief, but only on successful political maneuvers, those successful political maneuvers might turn upside down in a while.

It is not possible for Islam to prevail using the way of politics. Bediuzzaman says; "politics darkens souls." An intense politic ambition is observed in the Middle East.
