One only serves the system of the Mahdi and cannot claim to be the Mahdi. Look carefully into the course of history and you will see that they all ended up defeated. But God has always opened the way for all those who stepped forth claiming to be in the service of the system of the Mahdi and made them all elated.

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.

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.

The system of the Mahdi is not a claim but a demonstration. Islam prevails in the world and an individual takes the lead of the Islamic world. We can then think that he is the Mahdi (pbuh), God knows the truth and that is all (we can do). We cannot enunciate it either, we can only say, "God knows the truth, he might be the one."

God loves those who love Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). God makes those who hold on to the system of the Mahdi happy. There is a blessing in the system of the Mahdi.

According to the hadiths, the disasters will become so violent that people will be preoccupied with their own troubles. Everyone would be worn down thinking about their personal interests. Incidents will escalate immeasurably. The appearance of Imam Mahdi (pbuh) is imperative for the salvation of Muslims: There is no other way.

It is religiously unlawful to resist the Islamic Union. It is a religious obligation for Muslims to select a leader. Every delay causes the sin that falls upon one to increase in folds. Muslims become responsible for every person killed, for every inoffensive Muslim suffering. That is because they persistently reject the Islamic Union, they persistently assume an attitude against the system of the Mahdi. As they assume such an attitude against the system of the Mahdi, the murders, the deaths, are all increasing in folds.

The region would accept the notion of Turkish Islamic Union. But they would never accept the hegemonic mindset of the US. There will be no more Ottomans, no more Seljuk Empire yet again. There will be no return to the Oğuzhan period, to the Sultan Alparslan period. What will happen? We will head towards the future. What is the future? It is the system of the Mahdi.

Darwinism is the system of the antichrist. It is the Godless movement that is foretold to appear in the End Times. It made the whole world Godless and Bookless. We do not have the time to strive to determine the antichrist; the antichrist has already appeared. We need to concentrate on the solution. The solution is the system of the Mahdi. We need to take sides with the system of the Mahdi against the system of the antichrist.

Seventy veils conceals Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), he is very difficult to see. He is concealed in such a way that even Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will not be able to see himself. That is how Almighty God conceals him. The Torah commentator Rabbis say, “His mother, his father, his family would not be able to recognize Moschiach Mahdi." He is that much concealed.

Unification of the Islamic world is known as the system of the Mahdi. The system of the Mahdi equals the unity of the Islamic world and we call the leader heading the Islamic world Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).

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.

The system of the Mahdi is what disturbs the antichrist the most in the End Times. Because the system of the Mahdi is the system that will tear it apart with reason, science and knowledge, the system of the antichrist directly targets the system of the Mahdi.

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will start a festive period. The hearts of the people will become rich in an instant. They will give what they have to one another, they will share their money and their means and everyone will watch over one another. An immense richness will come about. Goods will be distributed profusely. The whole ummah will rejoice. The whole world, the poor and the needy, those living in misery, everyone will rejoice.

The festivities of the Islamic world will start with the system of the Mahdi. There will not be a single person in need. Goods will constantly be distributed among them.

The suffering and horror in the world will keep on growing, right until the coming of the Mahdi is clear for all to see. There will be an unbelievable increase in pain and suffering everywhere, not just in the Islamic world in 2016 and 2017, and by 2018 there will literally be a hell on earth. But 2019, 2021 and 2023 will be years of salvation.

In the time of the Mahdi, women will be as free as they can possibly be and will not be troubled anywhere.

No movement against the system of the Mahdi could ever be successful. Any movement that rejects the second coming of the prophet Jesus Messiah (pbuh) is bound to be defeated.

All the incidents take place as foretold in the hadiths. We will see Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and we will see the prophet Jesus Messiah as well. We will see the Islamic Union and we will all pass away after we do our duty. No one will remain here. The ones that remain the last will follow us as well, the world will be empty and then the Last Day will break loose.

Jesus Christ will be engaged in a clandestine activity. Mahdi (as) is out in the open but since Allah has covered and hid the Mahdi under 70 veils, no one can find him out until the last moment.

Having fun, Islam, the Qur'an, eating and drinking and everything else; life is a whole with all its entirety. There is no life far-remote from Islam. I mean there is no such thing to call "this part is Islamic and this part is non-Islamic." Islam is in every breath we take; while having fun, while laughing, sleeping, lying and waking up; Islam is in everything and everywhere one can think of. Any moment of life one claims to be outside of Islam is full of unawareness and means devastation.

Some people assume that Islam can only prevail with huge expenses, great activities, organized movements, by doing things covertly, etc. Look at the Qur'an and you'll see that Islamic values have always prevailed metaphysically. The whole issue is in attaining sincerity.

If we become a very modern country, a very enlightened country, if we attain the highest levels in the rights of women, if we become outstanding in arts, science, aesthetics and quality, we would become the strongest country in the world. Otherwise we would be a country that inevitably remains in the chain of Middle Eastern countries. Everyone would walk all over us and we would be devastated, may God forbid.

Weakness of faith renders one nonchalant. Such a person would not have the enthusiasm for spreading Islam, they would not have the strength to fear God. They only go after their own interests and their own problems. That is a grave problem.

When people are weak in faith, they do not concern themselves with the fact that Muslims are being killed and persecuted in Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya; they do not think about the Darwinist education being given to our youth. They merely act on their instincts. They only look for where to have fun, how to enjoy themselves. They run after adventures. This nonchalance is the gravest disaster caused by the weakness in faith.
