In the Qur’an, it is said that believers are praying to God, saying, ‘O Almighty send us a savior’ when they face hardship. Now, Muslims are facing hardship.

It is a fact revealed in the Qur’an that Muslims ask for a protector, a guide, a savior and a helper.

Muslims cannot unite without a leader in the Islamic world. Muslims must unite around a spiritual leader to save the whole Muslim world.

The Muslim world will be saved when they gather around a single mind. When there are too many heads they conflict and cause separation.

I have never claimed, and will never claim to be, the Mahdi. If I had such a claim I would have appeared on TV with a turban and would not be in contact with women, I would not have become a Freemason and I would not criticize the traditionalist understanding of Islam prevalent in the Islamic world. I have never been a person claiming to be the Mahdi and will never make such a claim. A physical resemblance is not a proof of the Mahdi. The only way we would recognize the Mahdi is when we see Islam prevailing in the world and a spiritual leader heading Muslims, the unity of Islam established and Jesus putting that person to the front to lead the prayer. We would then say, “God knows the truth, this person is the Mahdi.”

God shows us that the salvation of the whole Islamic world is in embracing the moral values of the Qur’an and uniting around a spiritual leader, that is to say, in the system of the Mahdi.

Isolating the leader as a tactic is an ugly plot used since the times of the Ottomans. They are trying to employ the same plot against our President Mr. Erdoğan for a while. They are trying to avert those who efficiently advocate our President and government both inland and abroad. The same method was employed against Abdulhamit, Abdulaziz and Menderes as well. And now they are trying to create the image which insinuates ‘see that none of those who advocate Erdoğan are safe, be careful.’ On the other hand they are aiming to portray our President as a stern personality who –may God forbid- doesn’t recognize the superiority of laws and the legal system, who has everyone taken into custody. That is the basic method employed by the British deep state and their pawns, FETÖ being in the first place. Especially in recent years it appears that there is a special structure organizing this plot. Being the sycophants of the British deep state and wannabes who do not like the values of our people, who look down on them and claiming to step up in the name of our people is the common characteristic of such people. We, as a nation, are aware of all these plots and with laws and the legal system we will never ever let them achieve their goals. We stand by our President Mr. Erdoğan and will never leave him alone.

The whole world sees at the moment how Muslims suffer because they don't have a spiritual leader.

There is an immense amount of bloodshed in the Muslim world right now. In fact, the persecution going on right now will come to an end the moment Muslims unite around a leader.

Turkey is a country well positioned to be a leader with her culture and moral values. But this will be a leadership of love.

Turkey is in need of a dynamic, audacious spirit. That’s why zealous and driven leaders are very precious. Turkey cannot afford to be stagnant and introverted.

If the leaders of the world’s most powerful countries came together and decided to spend money on peace and love instead of weapons, everyone would agree to it. They work hard to produce jetfighters, warships, bombs, weapons. This is crazy. It’s very easy to live as brothers and achieve peace.

It is very dangerous for Muslims to remain leaderless. There wouldn’t be such massacres if Muslims had a leader.

God commands Muslims in the Holy Qur'an to pray for a spiritual leader at difficult times. Asking for the Mahdi is advised in the Holy Qur'an.

The Mahdi will not be a political leader. The Mahdi will be a leader who teaches love and ensures justice.

Mahdi is the only spiritual leader both Shia and Sunni will embrace. Islamic world will only unite around the Mahdi.

Throughout history, Muslims have always had a leader. Muslims got stronger and victorious with leadership of a spiritual leader.

Throughout history, God has always created leading people to guide believers to the right path. The Mahdi (pbuh) will be the leader of believers in the End Times.

A believer considers serving Islam as a blessing but hypocrites don’t want to serve Islam. They follow their own evil religious law. Living alone, being stingy and feckless, leading an aimless, vain life, any act of moral turpitude and lying are all acceptable in the evil religious understanding of hypocrites.

A believer could never understand the spirit of a hypocrite or an unbeliever. It is a way of life that believers do not know and would never understand.

A believer who lives according to the moral values of the Qur’an is responsible to protect others like his own children. This is the system of guardianship in Islam.

A believer who strictly adheres to the Qur’an would never be unhappy or withdrawn.

A calming tone is always right. One needs to correct every provocative sentence, invite people to mildness and be moderate.

A careful person can detect malevolent people from their negative energy. When hypocrites walk into a place, their negativity is sensed immediately.

A compassionate person does not have prejudice or show bias against people. Being prejudiced is ignorance and vulgarity.
