Did the Prophet Joseph (pbuh) have tanks and cannonballs? No, he didn’t. Did he have thousands of students? No, he didn’t. Did he have money? No, he didn’t. What did he have? He had sincerity. He was the Mahdi of his time. God made him victorious. What condition does Almighty God has for that? One should be able to endure hardships, one should be patient in the face of hardships and sufferings. Or else no result can be attained if one tries to present himself as if he is facing hardships yet not really facing any hardships.

Sincerity is of crucial importance. How important is it? It is the only way of salvation. God says; “The noblest among you in God’s Sight is the one with the most piety.” Almighty God defines being sincere as the main condition of piety.

In the time of the Mahdi (pbuh) no one would attempt to lynch someone else; there will only be beauty, love and sincerity. There will be fear of God and love of God everywhere we go. Now, people are hurting one another for no reason.

If you have faith you need to be transparent and sincere. Only then would people who look at things sincerely and transparently approach you with love as well.

If one is a sincere Muslim, there is no need to bustle. A sincere Muslim would always be victorious. In the Torah, Almighty God says that it would be enough for the whole world even if there are only ten of you.

You have no power to bring everyone to the True Path. God is the One to guide people to the Truth. One needs to see if the way he talks, if his culture, if his sincerity enough? One can only be influential if he is really sincere.

Anyone who is sincere can be friends. They need to be really honest and never tell lies and that would be it. They need to wear their hearts on their sleeves and that would be it. Such people are radiant people.

The mindset that cries out saying "Long live Holdings!" prevail among some Muslims. According to some of those people, Islam consists of planting trees and developing industry.

If you set aside sincerity, troubles would never leave you alone. If you act honestly and sincerely, you start seeing that even those things that appear to be troubles would turn out to be good for you, you would see that there is good in everything.

God would take away the foresight and perception of a person who is stealthy, skeptical, dark, ill-intentioned, dishonest, one that has malice in his heart, one who does not want the goodness of others, one who does not feel any inclination towards love in his heart. Such a person would start making incoherent movements. His glances would become distorted, his speech would become distorted, his reasoning would become disrupted. God would put obstacles in front of him and bring about exiguousness.

God gives wisdom to sincere people. That is an evident fact. That has always been seen in all Prophets, in all beautiful people.

When Almighty God sees sincerity in people - and He knows it in destiny anyway - He constantly makes wisdom flow through that person. When one is insincere God takes away that flow. That person turns into a lunatic, he becomes like a maniac.

God is the One Who creates wisdom and wisdom is created every single moment. It has a constant flow, it does not remain stagnant inside the brain. People presume that wisdom can be preserved as if it is put inside a cube; actually that is not true. It is completely empty inside the brain. Wisdom constantly flows like a river, it is made to flow by God.

If one acts very sincerely, loves God very deeply then he would find Mahdi (pbuh) anyway. They fail to find him because of their lovelessness, because of their lack of sincerity.

There are not that many sincere and good people in the world. The good people, sincere people, these people of love should protect and watch over each other. If they start to push each other around that would be a grave gullibility, it would be a very very big credulousness.

Prayers should be very sincerely made. We need to attain that with a special concentration, with a special spirit of sincerity. And the prayers should not necessarily be long. Concise, profound and sincere prayer is very important. It should be heartfelt insha’Allah.

With sincere faith, even one person alone can dominate the world. For instance the Prophet Solomon (pbuh) was very faithful, Allah made him rule the world. Dhul’Qarnayn (pbuh) was alone, he was very devout and Allah made him rule the world. That is all. Patience, faith, sincerity and not minding the allurement of this world, that is all.

Sincerity is the greatest blessing. Allah informs us in the Qur'an that only His sincere servants will be saved.

If one is sincere, he would understand the Qur'an anyway, such a person would understand the command of the Qur'an as well. A sincere person loves Allah very much, he loves the Qur'an very much, he loves the companions and he loves everyone. Such a person would be perfect with his humility and morality. The whole matter is about sincerity because Allah makes such a person feel the things that are wrong, and see the right things as well.

The Qur'an informs us about what is auspicious and what is beneficial. The most beneficial thing to do is to strive to save the Hereafter of people and to give an intellectual struggle on the way of Allah. Or else it is not to become a businessman and to found holdings and operate touristic facilities and keep one's self with trade as some people claim. This is a highly insincere approach. Happiness comes with faith.

Religion is very pure and simple. One should have good morals, one should be loving and sincere. Lawful deeds are defined anyway. There are many lawful acts, they are boundless. Unlawful deeds on the other hand are very few. They are defined in the Qur'an as well. One needs to keep away from them and that is it. You would be a good person, a loving person who submits himself to Allah, a person who loves Allah very much. You should not be wooly minded, you should just be honest.

There is no need to consume such an extraordinary amount of energy for attaining deep faith. If a person is very sincere, a deep faith would instantly be formed. They are imagining that religion is very difficult. They say, "You need to ponder deeply, you need to think deeply." Actually one cannot succeed at thinking deeply through mere willpower; God is the One Who will make one think deeply. A person does not have any individual power. What we need to do then is to be sincere. We have to be sincere and ask for it from God.

Sincerity costs one a lot. One would suffer through ordeals, get tired and even get into trouble. If you are living an easy life and show interest only in things that directly affect your interests, if you protect your own interests as if you are protecting a baby, where is sincerity in this?

Almighty Allah says; "You should not have haughtiness. You will live in your natural self, in your most natural attitude, with your lovingness, with your humility." Almighty Allah says; "You are to know your place." We are nothing anyway, only Allah exists. We are shadow beings. Thanks to Allah.

Muslims are sincere. They love Allah deeply. They do not adopt a special attitude, they act whole-heartedly. People are amazed by our sincerity, let them be. We will continue to be sincere until the very end, we will be sincere for all eternity insha'Allah.
