What does idolater mean? It means those who do not consider the Qur'an as sufficient, who do not consider the commands of God as enough, may God forbid, those who attempt to teach religion to God, or those who make additions to the religion God revealed in the name of God.

Idolaters consider the commands of God, the Qur'an as insufficient- may God forbid. In their twisted minds, they attempt to teach morality, they attempt to teach religion to God- may God forbid. That is why they either make additions to or subtractions from Islam.

The things demanded by the Qur'an are only a few: Performing prayers is explained very briefly in the Qur'an, fasting is explained very briefly and giving alms is explained very briefly. God commands us to be merciful, compassionate, to avoid telling lies, to be true. He commands us to have good intentions and to love one another, to love God a lot; to be of help to one another and to avoid worldly ambitions for goods because everything belongs to God. The commands in the Qur'an are very few. The rest is all about the foulness of the unbelievers, the impertinent behavior of the unbelievers, of the people of heresy and the responses given to them.

Love of the Mahdi is very fervent among Alewites and Shias. Theirs is a powerful love. Sunnis have an unnecessary languor and that is not something good. They need to make it right.

We talk to them reciting verses and say, "That is what God says in the Qur'an". They reply saying, "This is not what the hodjas we know are saying." Why do you not trust the Qur'an? You do not trust the Book of God. They insistently search for the religion of their forefathers in the Qur'an. They refuse anything else if they cannot find it in the Qur'an. The fact is, however, religion is learned directly from the Qur'an, not from forefathers.

The Qur'an is the book of reason. Actually the Qur'an is the book of love and reason. When one abides by the Qur'an, he becomes wise, reasonable and balanced.

Those who carefully read the Qur'an cover to cover become very wise. They become very stable and talk very reasonably.

All statesmen in the world should abide by the Qur'an. That is a necessity for politicians to be reasonable and coherent. Have a look at the countries all over the world; you see that coups take place in some of them and people are being executed in others. A majority of them are unstable. They persecute their people.

There were no sects at the time of our Prophet (saas), at the time of the companions. There were no Wahabis, no Sunnis, no Shias. There was only Islam as commanded in the Qur'an.

The Qur'an holds women in high esteem. Women are praised, exalted and protected in the verses. Those who claim that "women are half-people" have a completely different mentality and they are not abiding by the Qur'an in that sense.

Mahdi (pbuh) will be the one who will save Iran. God made Shias love him this much and they are the ones who appreciate the Mahdi. They should hold on to the Mahdi (pbuh). Yet they are only talking about the Mahdi (pbuh) very rarely; that is very bad. Especially their head of state should bring the place down with the name of the "Mahdi".

It is very wrong to look for the Mahdi at the bottom of a well and it is also very wrong to deny the Mahdi: Within the clear, explicit hadiths, one should look for the Mahdi (pbuh) with a sincere conscience.

We should do as God says, what our Prophet (saas) says, what his companions say. Were there sects at the time of our Prophet (saas)? Were there sects such as Hanafis, Hanbali, Maliki, Shafi'i, Shi'ah and Wahhabism at the time of our Prophet (saas)? No, there weren't. In order to avoid the damnation of God, we need to return to the pure and real religion of God, to the Qur'an.

Sunnis, Shias, Wahhabis; these are all equal to one another, they are all the same. They are all brothers. Getting into a struggle against one another is impertinence. They should strive for Islamic Union. Try to unite all Muslims and make an effort for this. Tell people about the necessity of the Islamic Union.

There was no ‘religion of Ahl al-Sunnah’ in our Prophet’s (saas) time. There was only the religion of the Qur’an. Certain circles seek to pit Muslims against each other by creating division using Shia-Sunni differences.

I love all Sunnis, Shias and Wahabis. May God make all of them blessed. They are all pure Muslims.

There is pressure upon all Muslims; in this milieu of pressure, it isn't scrupulous to see Shias, Sunnis, Wahhabis as enemies. They must ally. All Muslims must love one another; they must all watch over one another without considering from which sect they are.

Muslims strive to save everyone, be it Christians, Jews, Wahabis, Shias or Buddhists. Muslims wish no one to ruin as it doesn’t comply with the Qur’an.

Radicals believe that they are the most devout ones when they turn the life of this world into a life in Hell, when they misrepresent Islam as hellish. For instance, they believe that it is out of piousness when they turn praying into an inextricable act. They believe that it is out of piousness when they make it impossible to perform ablution, whereas God described performing ablution in a single line in the Qur'an.

Radicals had Muslims decimate one another. One party kills the others and vice versa. They took pride in that. "Today we have killed two hundred Shias, praise be to God," they say. The others say, "We have killed three hundred Sunnis today, praise be to God. We have bombed them." This radical understanding of Islam brought about this disaster.

Radicals have always been obsessed about the marriages of our Prophet (saas), his love for women. They never want to recite or talk about the verses related with that subject. They merely want to gloss over that subject completely. For instance, they do not want to talk about the fact that there are women in the Heaven.

God is pleased when the Greatness of God is expressed. God does not need it, but He wants love.

The Greatness of God gives a great pleasure to a Muslim. It makes Muslims happy. I mean being under the command of the Great and Omnipotent God pleases a Muslim.

Idolaters do not like the Mahdi, they do not like the second coming of Jesus Messiah, they do not like the Islamic Union. They express this by distorting the truth with their tongues. In the Qur'an God says, “It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of Truth to exalt it over every other religion, though the idolaters hate it." That is because the idolaters fiercely resist the Islamic Union, they resist the Mahdi, they resist the second coming of Jesus Messiah.

One says, "These are my goods, my possessions." The fact is however that one has nothing to own, no possessions to lay claim to and everything belongs to God. We are only sent here as guardians for that which actually belongs to God.
