Youngsters are living the essence of religion. That is because religion is love, compassion, goodness, beauty and good morals.

May Allah increase our nation’s strength for love and compassion. May Allah fill the hearts of our people with love of Allah. May Allah increase the beauty and love of our youngsters.

Islam is the original abode of compassion, the original place of mercy. And the commands of the Qur'an constitute the whole substructure of compassion, mercy, friendship and beauty.

Being the headmost one in compassion, in mercy, in decency, in cleanliness, in being the one that wears the most beautiful attires, that eats the most beautiful food, that distributes the most, that is the most just, the one that applies social justice in the most perfect manner is the characteristic of a Muslim.

Muslims turn fire into light, wrath into mercy.

The merit acquired by wholeheartedly coming close to God is great. The greatest merit is attained by increasing one’s faith and by becoming very sincere about faith. A person attains merits as much as he/she loves God.

If one acts very sincerely, loves God very deeply then he would find Mahdi (pbuh) anyway. They fail to find him because of their lovelessness, because of their lack of sincerity.

Love for the Prophet Jesus (pbuh), love for the Mahdi (pbuh) stems from love of God.

There is no change in the commands of Allah. People assume that there are Qur’an verses that have been rendered void. How could the provisions of the Qur’an become void? They will be valid until the Last Day. There is no verse of the Qur’an that has become void.

You should all embrace our non-Muslim brothers and sisters, Jewish or Christian. They are very much oppressed all over the world. When they go out in their traditional clothes they are mocked and cursed at. There are a lot of irreligious, atheistic people around. For that reason, show compassion and mercy everywhere you see them and embrace them.

We should show compassion to Christians. They are very inoffensive, they are very dear. Very rarely, they have small churches here and there. There are people who make fun of them and some who attempt to batter them. They are striving to protect their beliefs in Allah and to express their love for Allah under very difficult conditions. You should be very compassionate towards them. Treat them with compassion and love. Our brothers and sisters should protect and watch over them everywhere.

Love is the main characteristic of the community of the Mahdi; God loves them and they love God.

A person who has the morals of the Qur'an, a person who loves God would also love women who are the most perfect manifestation of God. However women are beautiful with their souls. They are soul and body. Women are perfect beings both in body and in spirit.

Love of Allah has the impact of adrenalin on people, opens their soul.

Violence, cruelty, terror are not characteristics of a Muslim. A genuine Muslim would not have a way other than mercy and love.

Main topic in my works is love and fear of Allah. My goal is to ensure that everything good and beautiful to prevail in the world.

That is the deep aspect of love, of passion; being forgiving, compassionate, protective, thinking deep, seeing beauties in detail, seing wisdom in detail and patience. Patience is very important.

There are no commands in the Qur'an that are given through implications. Allah informs us His commands openly and clearly.

Hijab is a religious command, yet there is no command in the Qur'an regarding headscarf. Because it seems easy, people are constantly crying out "headscarf, headscarf, headscarf!" day and night as if it is the main topic in Islam. The main topic is the Union of Islam.

Qur'an is a very plain and pure Book. The commands of Allah are very plain and quite simple. Complicating life is not religion. I mean propagating an environment in which people are in dirty clothes, eating filthy food, living in a filthy, listless environment with dirty looking women and men; no music, no paintings, no arts, no science, no aesthetics in an ugly rotten structure; with slanders and revilements constantly in their language and feeling hatred towards everyone. Such a religion is not acceptable. This has nothing to do with religion.

Allah tells us to be quiet and to listen when the Qur'an is recited. So one should not speak in the mosque. One should not speak even in a whispering tone. The Mosques are not places to speak. When the Qur'an is recited, it should be listened to quietly. I see this almost in a great portion of all mosques. And that –people speaking in a high tone while the Qur'an is recited- is also sign of the Last Day and the portent of the appearance of Mahdi (pbuh).

Religion is not lived upon implications. All judgments are clear and explicit. Allah is Just, He would not hold people responsible of anything through implications.

Allah communicates His commands and the things He forbids not through implications but through verses containing clear judgments. Allah lays stress on the judgments that are deemed obligatory, for several times.

It would be very wrong to form a religion according to one's own mind and then to look for it in the Qur'an. One should directly look at the Qur'an. There is no adjudicator other than Allah.

The system of the Mahdi is not in an immobile structure, it develops within dynamism.
