We are friends with Israel and we are friends with the Israeli people. We have always loved our Jewish brothers and sisters; we loved them in the time of the Ottomans, we loved them in the time of our Prophet (saas) as well. We've always shown them compassion and no one would or could ever do anything contrary.

An attitude that regards Jews as inferior is unproductive and inauspicious. In hundreds of verses of the Qur'an, Jews are mentioned. God says; "you can marry devout Israeli ladies." Animosity towards Israel would bring about inauspiciousness, it is not compliant with the Qur'an and it is a sin.

Animosity against Jews is a reflection of a crude point of view.

There are hundreds of verses in the Qur'an that talk about the Jews. Disregarding Jews would not be compliant with the Qur'an.

The origin of the disaster Egypt is facing is a thousand of their 1001 books. This scourge would have not landed on them if they were to abide by one single book. This scourge came upon them because they abided by a thousand and one books. For instance this is the origin of the hatred towards Jews, that is the origin of the hatred towards Christians as well.

It would be persecution; it would be a horrible thing to see Jews as weak people and to follow a hatred policy against them. Persecution brings about persecution. Approaching a handful of Jews with compassion, with kindness would be one of the very important basic reasons in decreasing that tension in Egypt.

Feeling rage and hatred against Jews and Christians would be a sin.

Christian and Jewish people all love Allah. Almighty Allah entrusted them to us. And He entrusted us to them. That is because we are all friends of Allah. We will approach them all with love and compassion.

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.

There is no one else who is as compassionate as we are towards the Jews. There is no one else who is as compassionate as we are towards the Christians. We have never seen anyone or any community who approaches them in such an inclusive manner as we do.

We do not cast people out calling them communists. We strive for them to attain faith. We do not cast people out calling them Masons. We strive for them to attain faith. We communicate religion to Christians, to Jews, to everyone. We do not feel hatred or hold grudge against irreligious people or atheists or Buddhists, or against any community, tribe or religion. We approach them all with compassion so that they can learn about Islam and the Qur'an, insha'Allah.

With the Unity of Islam, you will also be protecting Christians, Jews and the irreligious. You will show the world justice, peace, brotherhood and love. You will attain the best result when you show people by being a living example that there will be a world in which there will be no blood, no weapon, no violence and no terror.

A Muslim would want people from all faiths to live happily; he/she thinks about everyone and says "my brothers/sisters come first," and never puts himself/herself before others.

At the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) all the world will run towards Islam. Christians and Jews will be content with his justice as well. Everyone will live by their religion freely, there will be peace and abundance, wars will come to an end, weapons will be done away with, blood will not be shed, there will be no terror, no anarchy. A welfare, beauty, gayety will enfold the whole world. Love will embrace the whole world. There will be no place left without love.

Almighty Allah says; " There is not one of the People of the Book who will not believe in him before he dies," for Jesus Messiah. What does this mean? The freemasons will come to believe. The Buddhists will come to believe, everyone will believe in him, says Almighty Allah. But how will the Jesus Messiah behave? He will treat everyone with love and compassion. In his time the Jesus Messiah embraced everyone, he was compassionate towards everyone.

A Muslim will have the spirit that embraces the entire world. He will love the entire world, all the human beings. He will have compassion for disbelievers, Christians and Jews. He will struggle to save all of them as the servants of Allah.

Hazrat Mahdi (as) is not someone who entirely rejects the Torah. He embraces the just sections of the Torah and the Gospel. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will advocate the just sections of the Torah and the Gospel, insha’Allah.

Animosity against Israel is presented as if it is a merit, a sign of piety or superiority. Actually animosity against the People of the Book is atrocious. We love Jews, we love Christians. We are compassionate towards atheists as well.

There is no hatred for Jews and Christians in Islam. On the contrary, they are protected as the People of Book in the Qur'an. A Muslim cannot have any aversion neither to them, nor to their places of worship. God tells us in the Qur'an that Muslims may marry Jewish and Christian ladies; indeed, some of the wives of our Prophet (saas) were Jewish and Christian.

What kind of interpretation of Islam is it if you do not preach to atheists and Darwinists? Who are we meant to command good and forbid evil to? Who are we meant to struggle against? Muslims have a duty to talk about Islam to Jews and Christians, known as the People of the Book, to atheists, to pagans and to everyone, in the kind of language they can understand. That is God’s command. You cannot talk about Islam using hostile language, only through love.

Jews are the People of the Book, and they have faith in One God. Muslims should approach pious Jews and Christians with compassion.

In the Qur'an, God refers to Jews and Christians as the People of the Book and states that it is unlawful to kill them.

God commands Muslims to approach the People of the Book with compassion and love, not with hatred.

Ehl-i Kitap'a gavur denilmez, bu çok çirkin bir söz. Allah Hristiyanlar ve Musevilerin Ehli Kitap olduğunu bildirmiştir.
