Man cannot withstand heavy pressure. Religion removes pressure and restrictions.

Prohibitions in Islam could be counted with the fingers of a hand, yet if you try to count the halals (permissible acts) in Islam, your lifetime would not suffice to do so. The prohibitions in Islam are very few and easily be counted with the fingers of a hand. Yet halals are endless.

There is no need for prohibitions, constant supply of information would be enough. Instead of prohibiting something, their damaging nature should be explained abundantly.

If our brothers and sisters act maturely, if they have their hearts in the right place they will see that everything will be at ease. If they remove fear upon people, if they create such a mature environment there will be no need for any kind of restriction.

Bigoted mindset would even prohibit laughing. It destroys people's merriness and healthiness. It ruins people.

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.

Banning ladies having fun is like uprooting an essential beauty out of this world. Women are the most important ornaments of the world. If women have fun, if they are happy, if they are cheerful, if they are able to show their beauty, it would be great.

Within the course of world history, they [bigots] have generally turned this world into a living hell for women. When born a woman, she doesn’t have the opportunity to have fun, to wear what she likes or to dress up. Loving and being loved is forbidden, being joyous is forbidden, everything is forbidden for them. Let them have fun, let them be joyous and wear whatever they like. Leave them alone so that they can live in peace.

Radicals prohibit everything beautiful. They preach everything that is atrocious, everything that is difficult. Their encouragement about crying is unbelievable. God refers to it as a characteristic of unbelievers. "They will cry a lot and you will laugh," God says to Muslims. And they turn everything around and tell Muslims "Do not laugh, cry a lot!" How could one's mind and soul endure this? Go do sports, eat, drink, laugh, perform your religious observances, beautify everywhere. Let the arts prevail everywhere.

As our Prophet (saas) foretold in the hadiths, there will be no place left in which the sun of the system of the Mahdi did not enter.

As our Prophet (saas) foretold in his hadiths, with the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) all the people of the land and the skies will overflow with joy.

As our Prophet (saas) foretold in his hadiths, after the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) guidance, faith and glory will come.

Forging alliance with Christians is one of the marks of the system of the Mahdi.

At the moment Islamic countries are very poorly kept and miserable. This will change completely in the time of Mahdi (pbuh). With the coming of the Mahdi (pbuh) shoddiness and soullessness will disappear.

Ministers and Governors should not be seen as easy people anyone who likes can snipe at and make comments about. Better precautions can be taken for that. That is because some people might be after causing scenes in front of cameras.

God would give trouble upon those who make the things God deemed lawful, unlawful.

The frequency and the intensity of grave natural disasters like hurricanes that are happening in the world is a sign for men of understanding.

Turkey should assume a reconciling role in between the parties in Egypt.

There is no struggle in between Christians and Muslims in the world; there is a struggle in between faith and faithlessness. In the face of this, Christians and Muslims who believe in God should make an alliance.

There is an amazing coding-cypher system in the Torah regarding the future and regarding the names of individuals.

Both Shia rigidity of certain Muslims and Sunni rigidity of certain Muslims stem from traditional Islamic sources which are known as reliable although they are infested with many superstitions.

Feeling love and yearning towards the system of the Mahdi is a characteristic of a Muslim.

Discourses about the End Times and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) were the discourses the Companions of our Prophet (saas) loved the most. The Companions had an amazing admiration for the Mahdi.

Lethal criticism is not acceptable, destructive criticism is not acceptable. Criticisms should be constructive.

The spirit of the system of the Mahdi is a modern understanding of religion.
