While proceeding in the right path Almighty God creates slips and hitches as a part of the trial. But eventually the truth becomes victorious. The hitches are bound to exist. Difficulties are bound to come up. Otherwise there would be no meaning to the trial.

God creates the erroneous, wrongful people for us to know the worth of the good ones. There are always wrongful, erroneous people. But the good ones shine among those erroneous ones. So there is the need for such erroneous people. The secret of the trial comes forth only then, insha’Allah.

The life in this world is really very short, we will all be gone. May we all go to Heaven insha'Allah. We are in a very short period of trial. We should not offend each other for insignificant things, we should not upset each other and we should choose all we say very carefully.

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.

This is not a place for plays and amusement; it is not a place to merely earn livelihood. We’ve come here to be tested.

God bestows bad-tempered, grumpy, snappish people whom everyone hates upon those people with darkened hearts. And He bestows loving, radiant people whose hearts are full of love and compassion to Muslims, to people with beautiful manners, to people who love others. That is how it is in this world and that is how it will be in the Heaven.

God takes patience as a basis. This is a place for trial. It would not be possible to get instant results. There has to be an enduring, long period of time. We need to go through a trial.

God is the One Who educates children. Just like it was in the story of the Prophet Ishmael (pbuh), just like it was in the story of the Prophet Joseph (pbuh). Children are tested as well. God tests them with hardships and with ease as well so that they would be reminded by Him when they grow up. Being reminded by Him is a condition of this test anyway.

God increases the disasters that fall upon His beloved servants. If disasters do not befall on you, you should think about what is wrong with you. If there are disasters following you, be thankful to God. Disasters are like winds, they pass by and their beauties remain behind.

Almighty God would of course test your love. See how devoted you are to Him; He will of course test that. And He will show that to you as well. You will see how much you love God. You will see how loyal you are.

One would never leave his beloved one. God is the real Beloved One. And even if 7000 years pass by, one would endure all sorts of ordeals. That is the characteristic of a lover. God would approve to see one enduring everything because of love for Him. That is completely a sign of love.

What is the characteristic of a lover? It is never deserting the loved one despite all sorts of sufferings and hardships. A lover would never leave his loved one even under the hardest conditions. God is showing us how much we are living with that spirit of a lover. That is because in the Hereafter, the existence and the manifestations of God will be the greatest pleasure we will be given.

A Muslim should see the beautiful things and also the ugly ones; yet he should prefer the beautiful things and look for the wisdom behind the ugliness. There is nothing ugly in the Heaven. Ugliness is only created in this world for testing. Everything and everyone is beautiful in the Heaven; trees, plants, people, children and all food.

The Heaven is an abode of joy and it is eternal happiness, eternal beauty. When you are sending your child to the Hereafter you are actually sending your child to an abode that everything is perfect, so mourning would be extremely wrong while doing so. It would mean to say; -may God forbid- “I didn’t like what God wanted, I know better”. And that would be ascribing partners to God.

If people were to go to Heaven without learning about love, their hearts would be completely empty. We have to learn about love before going to Heaven. Those who have no love in their hearts would not take pleasure from the blessings of the Heaven.

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is the peacock of the Heaven. The radiance of Mahdi (pbuh) will sparkle like light in the Heaven as well.

A Muslim lives for the good pleasure of God and he dies for the good pleasure of God. If one does not live for the good pleasure of God, life would turn into a living hell for him/her. Everything should be for the good pleasure of God; only then life would be beautiful. Heaven would be beautiful with the good pleasure of God as well.

Heaven is very similar to this world but it is much more modern and high quality. The mansions in the Heaven are made of glass and they remain up in the air. When you say "come" to the food in the Heaven, they come by you. God creates millions of details for people to take pleasure. But the beauty that gives most pleasure in the Heaven is God Himself manifesting and greeting the people of the Heaven.

If one feels frantic with sorrow for a person who's gone to the Sight of God, who's gone to His Heaven; if one cries his eyes out grieving that means he doesn't appreciate what God created; that means he is rebellious against God, may God forbid. But if he thanks God for what He created, if he praises Him, if he welcomes this ultimate union, his meeting His Lord with joy, if he welcomes passing to Heaven; that is a characteristic of a Muslim. The other is the characteristic of idolaters.

The feeling of boredom is removed in the Hereafter. There is no such thing, no such feeling in the Hereafter. Muslims see the blessings of the Heaven for quadrillions of times but never get bored.

There is a beginning and an end for everything. God has neither. Beginnings and endings are only for those who are created: Yet Alhamdulillah, because we are carrying the soul of God we will have a beginning but not an ending in Heaven.

Compassion, mercy, leniency: That is what we ask from God, is it not? What do we want in Heaven? We want Almighty God to forgive us and to be lenient, compassionate and protective towards us. We therefore need to treat people in the same manner as well.

There cannot be a world without women, there cannot be a Heaven without women. The world is beautiful with women. Heaven is beautiful with women as well. Women are the most beautiful creatures of this world. And the most beautiful being in the Heaven, I mean except for God, is woman as the manifestation of God's beauty insha'Allah.

Opposition is what the governments need the most. The stronger the opposition is in a country the more beautiful and prosperous that country would become. A government without an opposition would be dreadful. For instance North Korea is terrifying, may God forbid. They have no opposition. Anyone making a sound against the government loses his life. In Turkey everyone is allowed to say whatever he/she likes.

If it is possible to take the son of a minister into custody, that government is a sound one. No one can talk about fascism, dictatorship or the absence of democracy in such a country. It means that democracy is operating like clockwork; this is the farthermost example of it.
