The symbol ‘Cohen hands’ that is known to be first used by the Prophet Aaron is also a symbol in Freemasonry. It also symbolizes the letter A.

There are a variety of ideologies and ideas in Freemasonry. However, in the End Times, they will help the Mahdi movement. The ‘knot’ in Freemasonry is a symbol that represents the fact that Mahdi will untangle the knot of troubles in the world.

Freemasons operated freely during Sultan Abdul Hamid II’s reign. They opened up lodges in Galata. Most of his people were Freemasons.

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is a man of love, mercy, compassion, wisdom, friendship, beauty and aesthetics. Europe will accept him, the US will accept him, whole world freemasonry will lovingly accept him, all the Templars, the Rosicrucian Fellowship and all the deep state organizations will accept him. That is why Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be the imam of the world.

There is a symbol of a "deadlock" in Freemasonry. That is a five-thousand year old symbol used to symbolize that the world will come to a deadlock and that Mahdi (pbuh) will be the one to solve that deadlock.

The time for the promise of God is right now. I mean there are about a hundred years until the Last Day. There is no time, other than this century, for the global triumph of the moral values of Islam. That is why Freemasonry and the Templars should decide, the Sanhedrin should also decide. The global deep state should also decide. Otherwise, the world will be destroyed completely. The time for Islamic Unity has come.

The ancient scriptures and archeological findings prove that Freemasonry goes back as far as 12,000 years ago.

A water cup is a significant Masonic symbol that is found thousand-year-old inscriptions and wall pictures. It refers to the age of Aquarius. Ancient civilizations also mentioned that the salvation of the humankind would take place in the age of Aquarius. We live in the age of Aquarius right now.

The water cup symbol is found in inscriptions that are tens of thousands of years old, in the Bible, in Freemasonry and in Surah Yusuf in the Qur’an.

I have never approved atheistic Freemasonry and always made my intellectual stance against it very clear.

Atheistic Freemasons and those who join Freemasonry to pursue material goals actually have nothing to do with Freemasonry. Right now, atheism is on the decline in Freemasonry and its influence is weakening.

True Freemasonry is an ancient institute going back thousands of years. It believes in God and has an open-minded mentality that respects ideas, faiths and values women. True Freemasonry doesn't recognize or take seriously those small, atheistic groups that formed by themselves and claim to be atheist Masons.

There are small, illegal groups in every country that claim to be Masons. They are not really linked to true Freemasons. Atheists that infiltrated Freemasonry for personal gains or small groups that pretend to be Masons shouldn't be taken seriously.

Freemasonry has surprisingly ancient origins. Even on 12-thousand-year-old reliefs, Masonic symbols can be found. This is really surprising.

The main principle of Freemasonry is freedom of thought, respect for ideas, peace, friendship and brotherhood. Yet not every Mason can match that level of refinement. Surely there can be ignorant people among Masons that don't respect ladies and all humans in general, or who have no respect for art or refinement.

Being a Freemason doesn't mean that he is irreligious or faithless. I have many Freemason friends and acquaintances, and they all are very devout. There are Catholic ones among them, devout Catholics, there are Rabbis among them, devout Rabbis, there are Chief Rabbis who are Freemasons. I mean Freemasonry does not mean irreligiousness. They should consider Freemasonry as a union, as a community. I mean it is a community aiming to be gracious, a community of friendship and companionship.

God is putting Freemasonry under the command of Islam; He is putting the Templars under the command of Muslims; He is putting the Illuminati under the command of Muslims in the sense of global triumph.

The compass, the protractor, all these are symbols related with designing the history of the world. But that watching eye, that eye looking from inside the triangle says, "God is watching us right now." It says, "We are subject to destiny." It says, "Whatever God wills will happen."

The deep state of the world gathers every century. Every century, they see the course of history by looking at the hadiths, the Qur'an, the Torah and the Gospels and they do not resist the course of history. They do not resist destiny, they shape it accordingly. This is a secret of Freemasonry as well.

The whole world is getting ready for the Mahdi. Freemasonry has targeted the system of the Mahdi ever since it was first founded; it has targeted to serve the Mahdi (pbuh). It has been bent, fidgeted but eventually it will end its mission by serving the system of the Mahdi.

Islamic Union will be established, Islam will prevail in the world you will see, you will see in 5-10 years. And this will be under the leadership of Turkey. World freemasonry will enter into Hazrat Mahdi’s service.

Freemasonry would not reveal their goals directly; their goals appear through the method of Hazrat Khidr (pbuh). Masons consider themselves to be the students of Hazrat Khidr (pbuh). Islamic Union is a secret goal of Freemasonry.

Freemasonry is an organization that wants peace and brotherhood prevail in the whole world. They take most of their commands from the Torah.

Islam does not gain prevalence without doing anything. There are instruments and there are goals. God uses those instruments and Freemasonry is one of those instruments.

Freemasonry has been founded to help Shiloh, to help Mosciah ever since the beginning, in the time of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh). 4000 years later, 5000 years later they are entering into the service of the Mahdi right now. And they are charged to help Jesus Messiah, to help the Mahdi. This is what their real duty is.
