While proceeding in the right path Almighty God creates slips and hitches as a part of the trial. But eventually the truth becomes victorious. The hitches are bound to exist. Difficulties are bound to come up. Otherwise there would be no meaning to the trial.

We are in a very short course, it really is very short. We are being trained day and night and we are improving ourselves, we are taking the civility of the Heaven. Without the civility of the Heaven if were to go to the Heaven we would have been like robots. We have to get that training in order to be able to take endless pleasure in the Heaven.

The life in this world is really very short, we will all be gone. May we all go to Heaven insha'Allah. We are in a very short period of trial. We should not offend each other for insignificant things, we should not upset each other and we should choose all we say very carefully.

This is a world that would not let you stay in your houses in comfort and deal with your checks, title deeds and your trade. It is not a world that you can be graduated from your school in peace and get married and deal with your own business. God would not give way to this. God did not create this world for this. God wants the appearance of the Mahdi; He wants the appearance of the Jesus Messiah and the global rule of Islam.

This is not a place for plays and amusement; it is not a place to merely earn livelihood. We’ve come here to be tested.

God takes patience as a basis. This is a place for trial. It would not be possible to get instant results. There has to be an enduring, long period of time. We need to go through a trial.

God is the One Who educates children. Just like it was in the story of the Prophet Ishmael (pbuh), just like it was in the story of the Prophet Joseph (pbuh). Children are tested as well. God tests them with hardships and with ease as well so that they would be reminded by Him when they grow up. Being reminded by Him is a condition of this test anyway.

God increases the disasters that fall upon His beloved servants. If disasters do not befall on you, you should think about what is wrong with you. If there are disasters following you, be thankful to God. Disasters are like winds, they pass by and their beauties remain behind.

Almighty God would of course test your love. See how devoted you are to Him; He will of course test that. And He will show that to you as well. You will see how much you love God. You will see how loyal you are.

One would never leave his beloved one. God is the real Beloved One. And even if 7000 years pass by, one would endure all sorts of ordeals. That is the characteristic of a lover. God would approve to see one enduring everything because of love for Him. That is completely a sign of love.

What is the characteristic of a lover? It is never deserting the loved one despite all sorts of sufferings and hardships. A lover would never leave his loved one even under the hardest conditions. God is showing us how much we are living with that spirit of a lover. That is because in the Hereafter, the existence and the manifestations of God will be the greatest pleasure we will be given.

A Muslim should see the beautiful things and also the ugly ones; yet he should prefer the beautiful things and look for the wisdom behind the ugliness. There is nothing ugly in the Heaven. Ugliness is only created in this world for testing. Everything and everyone is beautiful in the Heaven; trees, plants, people, children and all food.

It is evident that this world is a place specifically created for training. It has no aspect to be devoted for or to have an ambition about. When one doesn’t turn it into an ambition God helps Muslims in wondrous ways and creates an amazing environment for them.

As the requisite of the testing, there are both angelic people and evil people in the world.

People die every day. We are living in the world, this is a place of testing. People get sick every day. How do they come up with the idea of mourning? There is no such thing in the Qur'an. There is no such understanding in Islam. It only has a place in idolatry, in the totemist mentality, in the belief system of the idolaters. This is a characteristic of pagan religions, but there is no such thing in Islam.

Life is difficult. People are tried in the life of this world with difficulties. And on top of all these difficulties, no one would ever accept fanaticism.

Living is created as difficult by God in its nature if you add radicalism on it you would make people go mad. The human nature does not put up with radicalism.

God gives one aggressive, abnormal wrong feelings to the lower self, but He also shows the ways to be protected against those with the verses of the Qur’an. The whole system of trial is founded upon that anyways. People need to recognize this highly dangerous threat and be alerted and be careful against it. We are to look for the acts that please God the most.

There will definitely be good ones, and there will definitely be bad ones. Good ones will struggle against the bad ones, bad ones will be eliminated and good ones will remain superior. In the Hereafter they will enter Heaven after being educated. As the people of love, compassion, mercy, aesthetics, beauty and quality, they will enjoy Heaven. For a person who did not receive this training, Heaven would not have any meaning.

The tougher the test a person is put through, the higher quality that person would attain.

Why do babies die? Babies come to this world as angels, and they pass by as angels. They are created like that specifically. They are coming to this world as the children of Heaven and they are taken from this world and go to Heaven to be the children of Heaven again. Almighty Allah says; “I have sent them as the children of the Heaven to you so that you can see them, they will welcome you in the Hereafter. If you act patiently they will be your children in the Heaven. That is it.

Allah motivates people to think deep through disasters of epic proportion.

What a beautiful environment of trial Allah has created. Allah veils Himself to the people with weak faith, and opens and shows Himself even further to strong people. Faith then becomes precious, it becomes even more beautiful. That is because you find Him by searching, you give make effort to that end.

Almighty Allah has created the End of Times very hard so that the deeds attained would be very rich. The more the troubles, the problems are, the higher will be the rank of that person.

Allah puts people through a difficult test. That is because He will make them live for all eternity. I mean He teaches love to beings that will live forever, He teaches them to appreciate the blessings. Or else may Allah forbid, one may go to the Heaven yet still does not understand Heaven.
