The People of the Book are responsible from the Qur’an. Some of them say Prophet Jesus (as) is “Allah” (Allah is beyond that). 99 percent of the Christians are thus faithless. What is the point of being adrift in such misery while there is the true religion of Islam emanating light?

Israelis are the People of the Book. By forging an alliance with the devout people of Israel, we need to strive to annihilate irreligiousness from the face of this World. Living in peace with the Israelis, living brotherly, friendly with them; backing them up and having them back up the Palestinians would be the best move. And that would be made possible with the Unity of Islam, with the system of the Mahdi, with the appearance of the Moschiah.

We should protect and watch over the People of the Book, we should protect and watch over Christians. We should approach them with compassion. We will altogether annihilate the system of the antichrist (dajjal) spiritually. Hand in hand with the Christians and hand in hand with the Jews, insha'Allah. They also say that "Allah is One".

Let us embrace our Christian brothers and sisters fervently with love. Our brothers should protect and watch over them everywhere. In the streets, in the malls, they should love and respect them everywhere. They should thus keep their bonds of neighborhood strong. Allah wants us to treat Christians compassionately. Allah wants us to treat the People of the Book compassionately; so we should treat Jews compassionately as well.

The global secret state wants war between Muslims and the People of the Book. We do not want a bloody war against the People of the Book. We have a duty to speak the gentlest words to the People of the Book. ALLAH WANTS CHRISTIANS TO SAY “LA ILAHA LA ILALLAH”.

Time will come for the People of the Book to come to believe in the Jesus Messiah altogether, insha’Allah.

THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK HAVE A DUTY TO ACCEPT OUR PROPHET (SAAS). There is only one true Book, the Qur’an. EVERYONE MUST ABIDE BY THE QUR’AN. If Christians say, “We are followers of Muhammed,” then the Prophet Jesus (as) will be very pleased. The Prophet Jesus (as) will come as a follower of the Qur’an, insha’Allah.

I SPEAK OF ALL THINGS, PROVING THEM WITH VERSES AND HADITHS. We treat the People of the Book as commanded in the verses. Allah says we must invite the People of the Book to say ‘La'ilaha'il'Allah’ (Allah: The One and Only God) in a kindly manner.

In Egypt, a policy of compassion should be adopted towards Israel as well. An attitude that would make Israel uneasy is not compliant with religion. Showing compassion to the People of the Book is the command of the Qur'an.

Within the radical mindset there are some people who give a so-called sanctity to hatred towards Jews. Jews are People of the Book, God would not consent their being persecuted.

Our brothers must have nothing to do with the corruption of bigots and fanatics who want to “slaughter the People of the Book.” It is the way of the dajjal that encourages them in that perverse way of thinking. CHURCHES AND SYNAGOGUES ARE UNDER ALLAH’S PROTECTION. That is in a verse from the Qur’an. OUR MUSLIM BROTHERS MUST MAKE UP FOR THE OPPRESSION OF JEWS AND CHRISTIANS BY TREATING THEM WITH LOVE.

I have a duty to support the innocent, let it be Christians or Jews, I am responsible for the protection of the People of the Book. This is something the Qur’an commands me. It is Allah’s command. Allah does not tell us to kill the People of the Book wherever we find them. They are entrusted to us by Allah.

God commands Muslims in the Qur’an to approach People of Book with love, respect and compassion.

Muslims who know love, respect and compassion will teach kindness to all those who are used to living for their own mundane interests.

The provisions of the Qur'an are valid until the Day of Judgment. Those who allege that the verses about mercy and compassion have been annulled commit a great persecution. Claiming that the verses about love and mercy had been annulled, some bigots ban approaching Christians with compassion. None of the verses the Qur'an had been annulled. God decrees us to approach the People of the Book with compassion and mercy.

They approach one another with rage instead of compassion and love. The ones who approach with blessing are few in number, yet God makes them successful.

The system of the Mahdi will not get involved with the politics. Mahdi is merely a teacher of love. He is the pioneer in compassion, mercy and justice.

Just like the compassion shown to a human being, compassion towards animals causes one to acquire merits in the Sight of God.

I wish for people who are on the wrong path to correct their ways and not get deeper in their errors so that they are won over. To correct those who are on the wrong path, I respond to misdeeds with good. My tone is always reconciliatory and compassionate. I want to win over people I criticize, not humiliate them.

Friendship always brings blessings. We need to approach all issues with compassion and love.

Some preach religion without knowing anything about love and compassion and they become technicians of religion.

Administrators must be very compassionate and merciful while the ones being ruled must have a close attachment to God. In an environment where people distance themselves from God, God creates inauspiciousness and cruelty.

The behavior recommended to all Muslims in the Qur’an is to treat the People of the Book with love, respect, affection and compassion, to protect and watch over them and to meet their needs in the finest manner. The pronouncement of the Qur’an regarding the People of the Book is crystal clear, and is also clear from the Sunna of our Prophet (saas). The people of the Book are our La Ilaha IllaAllah (there is no god but Allah) brothers.

Every society harbors both good and evil people. A society cannot be collectively cursed. Such an understanding of curse is not fitting to the Qur’an.

We used to live together with Jews, Armenians and Greeks as brothers. They are the People of the Book and are entrusted to us by God. Again with the establishment of the Turkish Islamic Union we will insha’Allah embrace all of them with love.
