ALLAH MAKES HIM THE MAHDI ONLY BECAUSE HE TOLERATES SUFFERING AND TROUBLE, AND BECAUSE OF HIS SINCERE LOVE OF ALLAH. In a time span of ten thousand, twenty thousand years, Allah grants that blessing, the blessing of being the Mahdi, only to him. Only because of his endurance to that hardship and trouble.

IN THE ABSENCE OF THE TEST EVERYTHING COMES TO AN END, MAY ALLAH FORBID. EVERYTHING LOSES ITS MEANING. Love, friendship, life, everything ceases to have any meaning, becomes nothing. Nothing beautiful remains left. For instance, the beauty of woman no longer means anything. The beauty of flowers, the beauty of plants, the entire universe is devastated.

The trial in this world is absolutely essential. Think about that for a moment, otherwise a world would not be possible. In the absence of trial everything loses its meaning, may Allah forbid. The system becomes ruined. An easy trial is not a trial. It must be a reasonable trial, insha’Allah.

People are inclined to possessions and a believer gives that possession he loves to Allah. He gives. The soul is Allah’s, and a person gives that soul to Allah, grants him back to Allah. This comes to mean the expression of Allah.

Allah does not create this world to make us go through suffering. Allah does not create this world in order to create a hellish environment. He does not want to create a world bereft of artistry and beauty.

If you say you are in love with Allah, how will you show that love? The struggle you make against hardship, advocating the Beloved One under the hardest of circumstances and siding with Him. Then your faith, love and compassion becomes evident. Otherwise it is not recognized.

Allah does not love insincere love. Allah loves the genuine lover. The one who really loves Him.

The earth is black mud. With all their fresh, bright, pure appearance, those big strawberries are ready to be eaten, Masha ‘Allah.

ALLAH WANTS TO BE LOVED, BUT HE WANTS TO BE LOVED PROPERLY. Normally even a human being feels offended when he is normally loved. How does one want to be loved? He demands deep love, very intense love.

Why would Allah put an end to the love of a person who is in love? Who would want the love to be stopped? Allah, in no way, wants that. That is why ALLAH WANTS TO BE LOVED FOR ALL ETERNITY. BUT WITH LOVE, NOT WITH SOME SUPERFICIAL LOVE, NOT WITH AN AVERAGE LOVE.

The one who is beautiful takes pleasure from the appreciation of that beauty. This is an inspiration of Allah to us. ALLAH ALSO LIKES TO BE APPRECIATED. ALLAH LIKES US TO BE IN LOVE WITH HIM. ALLAH LIKES TO BE LOVED WITH PASSION.

ALTHOUGH ALLAH DESERVES AN INFINITE LOVE, PEOPLE DON’T GIVE HIM ENOUGH LOVE. THEY DON’T APPRECIATE HIM VERY MUCH. That is why, Allah says, “They do not measure Allah with His true measure.” THE FACT IS, HOWEVER, ALLAH MUST BE LOVED WITH ZEAL. ALL THESE BEAUTIES BELONG TO HIM. All this passion must be diverted to Him. Almighty Allah deserves it.

A human being is a very fragile being. Allah says in the Qur’an, “Man is created weak.” Whether a man or a woman, they are all weak. They are easily negatively affected. They may get exhausted easily, feel exhausted and get sick easily. As a requisite of the trial in this world, they are created in that manner. That is because Allah does not want us to love this world.

IF A PERSON GETS ATTACHED TO THIS WORLD, HE SUFFERS A LOT. ONCE HE IS NOT ATTACHED TO THIS WORLD, HE WANTS ALLAH, because Almighty Allah essentially wants Himself to be the loved one.

ALLAH PUTS US ON TRIAL, FOR ALMIGHTY ALLAH WANTS GENUINE LOVE. If everyone loves one another like robots, if Allah made it obligatory for them, you would be loving each other under compulsion. That is not what Allah wants. ALLAH WANTS US TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AMID PAIN, SUFFERING AND HARDSHIP.

Allah does not want artificial love. He does not want compulsory love. He wants the fervent love of a lover. He wants that suffering that goes hand-in-hand with love.

Believers are put to the test through hardship. This world is not a place of fun. There will be trouble and you will persevere.

The soul of passion appears when one goes through suffering in order to reach his love. Then the true depth of love comes about; then it becomes persuasive and satisfactory. That is what Almigty Allah wants.

When we say “love”, THE LOVE FINDS ITS VALUE IN RELATION TO THE ORDEALS ONE GOES THROUGH. For instance in the case of Layla and Majnun, the essential factor is the suffering they go through. If Layla and Majnun were in love in a palace, that would not be of any interest.

The soul is trained through hardships and ordeals.

This is also the case with Hazrat Mahdi (as). An enormous faith, a very keen faith. In no way does he abandon his faith.

In the entire world Hazrat Mahdi (as) becomes the one who has most faith in Allah.

IF A PERSON FINDS FAITH TO BE DIFFICULT, THEN SATAN HARASSES HIM. FAITH IS QUITE EASY. A person only needs to leave himself to his natural state. He will leave his brain, spirit and mind to its natural state. IN HIS NATURAL STATE A PERSON GETS IN TOUCH WITH ALLAH. A PERSON CAN NOT GET IN TOUCH WITH ALLAH BECAUSE HE ASSUMES AN ATTITUDE IN WHICH HE SIDES WITH SATAN.

If a person turns to Islam and the Qur’an sincerely and supports Muslims, he can not be judged for his past. It is Allah alone Who judges one for his past. He simply repents and it passes by.

Allah created us in such a way that we can find Allah with ease when we do not place unnecessary constraints or limitations upon ourselves. We are created in a way to surrender ourselves fully to Allah.
