The earthquakes are the stamps of the system of the Mahdi. Almighty God says; "Turn to God or I will constantly shake this world like this. You should turn to Me, You should love Me, that is what I want from you. Or else I will make life unbearable for you." That is what is intended to be said by earthquakes.

There will not be another earthquake in Istanbul until Hijri 1506, insha'Allah. After Hijri 1506 it will be like hell until Hijri 1545 anyway. There will be earthquakes, disasters, troubles, civil wars, coups. There will be a fascist uprising and a communist uprising and that will cover the whole world. There will be a blood bath.

There will not be a big earthquake in Istanbul, until Hijri 1506. There might be minor quakes but a destructive earthquakes will not take place until 1506, insha'Allah.

Some people know everything, including earthquakes, from America. That is not realistic, they need to approach things more reasonably.

The earth by shivering with earthquakes is saying; "We should most definitely see the Mahdi (pbuh)"

The earth will hold its peace and calm down with the appearance of the Mahdi (pbuh).

The earth is alive, it is conscious. Trembling with earthquakes, it is saying; "Mahdi should come, the Jesus Messiah should appear!"

Through these quakes the earth makes a call to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) to appear immediately.

The earth is trembling with earthquakes and saying "Mahdi is necessarily needed."

This is the first time in world history that earthquakes have happened so frequently.

The Turkish Red Crescent should immediately send aid to those who were hurt during the Italian earthquake. Transporting aid to disaster areas is a requisite of our noble nation. The Turkish Red Crescent should go to Italy without delay.

All scientific data shows that there has been a rapid increase in the number of earthquakes since 1980. This is one of the portents of Mahdi.

By the leave of God, there will not be a major earthquake in Istanbul until Hijri 1506.

Those who lose their lives in earthquakes are considered as martyrs. Those who are injured are considered as ghazis and the properties lost are rewarded as alms by God’s leave.

Those whose houses are destroyed in the earthquake earn good deeds as if they have given alms and those who are injured in the earthquake earn good deeds as if they are ghazis (veterans). May God give long lives to all the sufferers of the Adıyaman and Urfa earthquakes.

How could a Muslim ever drink vine with one's eyes open? It would get stuck in his/her throat and he/she wouldn't be able to do it even if he/she wants to. Adultery paralyzes a Muslim. He/she would feel his/her hands and feet tied, he/she wouldn't be able to cope with it. A Muslim wouldn't have the strength to commit a sin knowingly. His/her sight would be lost and he/she cannot bring his/herself to do it, insha'Allah.

Goodness and compassion is hard. Mercy and love is hard. But offending and destroying is very easy. One goes and takes a rifle in his hand and shoots at people. That is it. But loving demands effort, it demands patience. It requires will power, it requires generosity, it requires determination at the highest level, it requires perseverance at the highest level.

Alawites are very precious people. Their conversations, their words would give relief to the heart. A spiritual state of mind is formed when one attends to their conversations for ten minutes. They are the disciples of love, compassion, peace, brotherhood; they are strongly against conflicts.

One of the most beautiful aspects of Alawism is that they are strictly against radicalism.

Alawites love Hazrat Ali (ra) fervently. The great majority of their seniors are sayyids, they are from the line of our Prophet (saas). They should be appreciated.

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.

People are very much inclined to lie and put the blame on others. In fact God says that people cannot save themselves with such shoddily tricks.

God says that He would forgive such people who acknowledge their mistakes honestly and abandon such attitudes from that on.

A cruel, egotistical person can never be saved from the Wrath of God.

The Qur'an is interpenetrated with reason. The Qur'an equals reason, reason equals the Qur'an. The Qur'an is pure reason. It is the guide, the way to be reasonable. One would become reasonable with the Qur'an. It is not possible in any way other than the Qur'an. One might be intelligent but cannot be clever and reasonable without it.
