When they talk about religion they assume that it is all about memorizing the verses, knowing the Qur'an by heart and reciting the verses with tajwid, being careful about idgham (merging). Actually the essence and the wisdom in the Qur'an is what is important. I mean putting the meaning in the Qur'an into practice is important, not reciting the Qur'an by being careful with idgham and qalqalah (adding a slight bounce or reduced vowel sound). Arabs can do that effortlessly in the best manner, but there are also a lot of them who do not put those verses into life, into practice.

The core of the system of the Mahdi is wisdom and sincerity. Literary or fancy talks would be like singing a song and would have no true impact on people.

Use your mind, think on it, look for the wisdom and you will see a bright, luminous world. You do not pay attention to God, but you pay attention to vain things. That would offend Almighty God. They play backgammon for hours, for four or five hours. Give your mind to God, turn to God, instead.

God creates everything beautifully and on a plan. But one should constantly look for the wisdom behind it. If you do not see the wisdom, you would feel bored in this world. Your heart will be squeezed. But your heart will open up when you look to see that wisdom.

People might get distracted with lengthy discussions on faith, people are created weak. So concise explanations to keep them focused will help.

The Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) was always very concise, to the point and wise. Speaking concisely, wisely and briefly will be more effective and help keep people focused.

God is the One Who knows everything and He is the One Who establishes the commands. And God is Wise, there is wisdom in everything He does. Someone might say, "Something went terribly wrong." But that is not true, everything happens for a reason. Your mind might not conceive it yet and you might learn the wisdom behind it, either in this world or in the Hereafter, but there is certainly wisdom behind everything that happens.

The Mahdi (pbuh) will not talk by engaging in demagoguery. He will speak briefly but to the point. He will make erudite, concise, influential, statements directed towards the essence of the topics at hand, covering all the important points and bringing exact solutions.

The wisdom of the Qur'an is crucially important. One needs to concentrate on it. Or else you can read many verses in ten minutes if you like. You can read the Qur'an rapidly but the Qur'an is a Book that should be read in an orderly manner and by pondering upon it, by unveiling the wisdom of it step by step.

There are always great reasons for everything that happens, including this coup attempt. One of them was how it brought people together.

What is most influential on people is sincerity, wisdom and expression on one's face that reflects his embracing religion and faith in God.

Sometimes God gives a rank to some people, gives them power, gives them means. You would not be a person of guidance if you say, "Why did God give him such a rank? Why did He give that person that easiness?" A person who -May God forbid - questions God would not be a person of guidance. One should say, "There is a goodness, a benevolence behind this. God knows but I don't."

Since the Mahdi possesses the knowledge of hidden wisdom, he sees the secret behind the ordeals and trials of this world and gets ahead in profundity and love. The ordeals the Mahdi will suffer through are explained in great details in the Torah. The Mahdi will be very outstanding and preciously superior because he would go through great ordeals.

One should always be on the side of God. One should never have doubts about God or that He always creates the best for him/her. One may not necessarily always understand the wisdom behind everything that happens. But one should always know that God creates the best.

When Almighty God creates a detail, when He creates something with His wisdom, a Muslim would say, “We might not have a full understanding of God’s wisdom but He knows everything about us. We’ve submitted ourselves to Him.”

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will communicate the message of Islam in a wise, brief and pithily manner. Consequently he will resolve the problem of being suffocated in details for the ummah.

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will have concise knowledge. He will not be sucked into details like some certain scholars and suffocate in those details. He will get into the essence of everything and talk about the wisdom behind. He would thus be explaining everything briefly but to the point.

Everything happens for a reason. There is a blessing and goodness in every incident.

God creates everything with wisdom, with hidden knowledge and a good purpose. There are so many good reasons and much wisdom behind the existence of pain and suffering in this world.

A sincere, honest person would naturally be knowledgeable and wise. Our Prophet (saas) was illiterate but he was an enlightened wise person. Knowledge and wisdom is a blessing bestowed upon honest, sincere people. Those who are sincere would be able to distinguish negative from positive, right from wrong.

If the Mahdi (pbuh) does not explain the wisdom behind something, one should resign himself to that and harbor a good assumption about it.

Speak with wisdom in a terse manner. Speaking too long, babbling is a great sickness. It is widespread all around the world.

Neither the Last Day nor death would have any aspect that would make Muslims uneasy. It would offend God if Muslims think that they would be persecuted or suffer somehow. That is because God says, "Trust Me, if you are good no harm would ever touch you." Muslims should always think good and well about God.

Our Prophet (saas) did not call people to himself, but to the Qur'an. None of the prophets called people to themselves but rather, to the Books of God. For instance, the Prophet Moses (pbuh) called to the Torah, the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) called to the Gospel. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be calling people to the Qur'an as well.

The whole issue is in submitting to God wholeheartedly and in loving God. Once you attain that, you would progress steadily on the right path. You might want to go faster, but God would not let you speed up. The system of the Mahdi is a system that progresses slowly. The followers of the Mahdi blossom out slowly as well. No matter how much they want it, no matter what they do, God makes them fill in that preordained time.
