You cannot love someone with mere flesh and blood. If you look at things on the basis of flesh and blood, they will smother you, and nothing will come of it. You must love the manifestation and spirit of God in the other person.

The system of the Mahdi is based on love. The system of the Mahdi always desires love, compassion, friendship and brotherhood. The system of the hypocrite, of the antichrist, is the exact opposite of that.

God is love; God is endearment. God wants to be loved and to love, but He wants real love, not something you would get from a robot. That is, love from someone who loves not out of obligation but by his own will. That is why God created passion and love. God lives within His creatures; for instance when we feel passion, God feels it too.

God loves love and passion very much. Angels love Him too, but God does not find this enough because the angel is bound to love. However, the love of humans, who suffer in pain, is God’s favorite.

God appreciates martyrdom and getting wounded in His way. He appreciates preaching religion until late at night. What God also likes is the effortful search for His love. Only then God bestows this love and passion to those who are worthy.

Some people use crying as their weapon when things contradict their interests. This is a devilish method of fussing in order to arouse pity for themselves, in order to acquire something, in order to object to something, to frustrate the other party. A Muslim cries for the love of God. They do not cry to bother or frustrate others, as this is indecent and atrocious.

Lovelessness is not good. It leads to ill fortune and disaster. That is wrong. God tells us to be friends with everyone.

What is this lovelessness? It has spread everywhere. So calm down, come to your senses, try and see the good side of everything and improve your own surroundings. If there is an ugly thing, they just make it 10 times uglier. If something is broken, they shatter it into tiny pieces. That is no good. You must repair things and put them right.

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.

When they decide to tear down a country, they first turn its people into loveless, crude, brutal, vindictive crowds that have no inclination towards art or anything that is beautiful. Such people can no longer love anyone, any group, or any other country for that matter. After this first stage is completed, it becomes easier for them to bring down that nation.

Anger, hatred, lack of love and compassion, selfishness, cruelty; these feelings blacken the eyes, blacken the words spoken. Once ensnared by such feelings, that person will lose the ability to talk sensibly. Observe carefully the language of those that refuse love. They just can’t make sensible sentences.

When love touches the eyes, eyes will become more beautiful and begin to look more deeply. When love touches the tongue, every sentence uttered will be more articulate and wise. When it touches the vocal cords, the voice will sound more pleasant. When it lands on the skin, the skin will find love and begin to glow. In other words, love will beautify a person in every single way.

God wants to be loved sincerely. Suffering and satan must exist for real love and compassion to be achieved.

God wants sincere love, to be loved sincerely, to be loved with passion. Otherwise, the universe would be meaningless for God. In other words, God is only satisfied with sincere love.

There are gardens, orchards, fruits and rivers in Heaven. Heaven has everything you could ask for. But without love, these would mean nothing to humans or God. Heaven is beautiful only with love.

One should love a flower, a mother, a cat, a woman as a manifestation of God. One should love nice scents, horses, every animal and everything as a manifestation of God. If one loves them only physically, it becomes the love of the flesh; and flesh has no lovable side to it.

Humans are frail creatures; as a creature made of flesh and bone, the human has no lovable side to it. It becomes lovable only as a manifestation of God. What is there to love about the flesh? It is only an organic material. Flesh, fat, bone, blood; they are petty things. What we love is the manifestation of God.

Give your love to God. He gives his love directly to his child and fails to say, "My Lord, how beautiful You have created my child, how beautiful You manifest Yourself." That is when God gives a lot of troubles. A thousand an done different torments. God either takes away that child from him or gives him a disease or some trouble, or takes away his riches from him. Why do you not say, "O Lord, thanks be to You. How beautiful You create beauties. These are all Your manifestations"?

God considers being loved as very important. The goal of God for us is not to love the food and the honey in the Heaven. Almighty God sees His being loved as crucially important. He wants us to love honey and the other beauties of Heaven as manifestations of Him. He would not let us love those blessings independently. Actually, we could not take pleasure from it anyway.

God is the Owner of Knowledge. God gives us knowledge that He wishes to give. God is the Owner of love as well. We are loved as much as God wishes. God is the Owner of manifestations. When we love a person we love the manifestation of God in that person.

God will manifest Himself to the people of Heaven whenever He likes. In an account it is stated that "He will manifest Himself on Fridays" but it is clearly understood from other accounts that He will frequently manifest Himself. And it is stated that this is the one blessing that Muslims would enjoy the most in the Heaven.

The most beautiful being and blessing in Heaven is the manifestation of the Almighty God.

“The men and women of the hypocrites are as bad as one another.” (Surat at-Tawba, 67) God does not distinguish between them. Hypocrites are no different to one another. They should be able to live with unbelievers but they cannot; they can only live with one another, as a distinct , or 200 or 1000 people are no good. You must have at least a million people there every time. The state should organize that; the air should ring with people shouting, ‘Allahu Akbar (God is Great)’

Muslims are basically influenced by the verses of the Qur’an. They read them, and the verses affect them. But the real hypocrite never has anything to do with them. He regards that as just a bit of fun, may God forbid.

It is not easy to understand the mind of the hypocrite. Sometimes he may have all the signs of the hypocrite, but then you look and see he has become a Muslim: He pulls himself together and abandons his old ways. Others are insanely attached to hypocrisy and never renounce it. Those people are the true hypocrites.
