The suffering and horror in the world will keep on growing, right until the coming of the Mahdi is clear for all to see. There will be an unbelievable increase in pain and suffering everywhere, not just in the Islamic world in 2016 and 2017, and by 2018 there will literally be a hell on earth. But 2019, 2021 and 2023 will be years of salvation.

Unification of the Islamic world is known as the system of the Mahdi. The system of the Mahdi equals the unity of the Islamic world and we call the leader heading the Islamic world Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).

Jesus Christ will be engaged in a clandestine activity. Mahdi (as) is out in the open but since Allah has covered and hid the Mahdi under 70 veils, no one can find him out until the last moment.

Every era had its antichrist but the ultimate antichrist will appear in the End Times. And against it, Almighty God sends His Last Guardian, the greatest guardian of all times, Hazrat Mahdi (as).

The system of the Mahdi is not a claim but a demonstration. Islam prevails in the world and an individual takes the lead of the Islamic world. We can then think that he is the Mahdi (pbuh), God knows the truth and that is all (we can do). We cannot enunciate it either, we can only say, "God knows the truth, he might be the one."

One only serves the system of the Mahdi and cannot claim to be the Mahdi. Look carefully into the course of history and you will see that they all ended up defeated. But God has always opened the way for all those who stepped forth claiming to be in the service of the system of the Mahdi and made them all elated.

All of the artificial movements regarding the system of the Mahdi are doomed to collapse. That is because it means mocking the system of the Mahdi. God is the One Who gives one the lead. All the false Mahdi candidates end up defeated.

God loves those who love Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). God makes those who hold on to the system of the Mahdi happy. There is a blessing in the system of the Mahdi.

According to the hadiths, the disasters will become so violent that people will be preoccupied with their own troubles. Everyone would be worn down thinking about their personal interests. Incidents will escalate immeasurably. The appearance of Imam Mahdi (pbuh) is imperative for the salvation of Muslims: There is no other way.

The world has come to an end, and the Almighty God wants the end to be magnificent. He does not want Christianity, Judaism and Islam to conclude with such a polytheistic and miserable end, but a magnificent one through the belief of oneness of God; an ending with the appearance of the Mahdi (pbuh), the descend of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and the dominance of Islam. There will be a rapid degeneration following these occurrences.

Seventy veils conceals Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), he is very difficult to see. He is concealed in such a way that even Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will not be able to see himself. That is how Almighty God conceals him. The Torah commentator Rabbis say, “His mother, his father, his family would not be able to recognize Moschiach Mahdi." He is that much concealed.

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will start a festive period. The hearts of the people will become rich in an instant. They will give what they have to one another, they will share their money and their means and everyone will watch over one another. An immense richness will come about. Goods will be distributed profusely. The whole ummah will rejoice. The whole world, the poor and the needy, those living in misery, everyone will rejoice.

People do not acknowledge the importance of the system of Mahdi. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is the one to stop the Day of Judgment. If not, the Day of Judgment would be pounding on the door. The world has already deserved the Day of Judgment since the entire world under the philosophy of Darwinism denies God. All of the nations, including Turkey, overwhelmingly give a Darwinist education.

Nobody can stand against the system of Mahdi despite that there only a small group of people working for it and a large group of people, primarily involving the shadow states, the bigots, the polytheists, the hypocrites, opposing it. This is a miraculous aspect of the system of Mahdi. The Mahdi and his followers are invincible; they are not destined to be defeated.

No movement against the system of the Mahdi could ever be successful. Any movement that rejects the second coming of the prophet Jesus Messiah (pbuh) is bound to be defeated.

All the incidents take place as foretold in the hadiths. We will see Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and we will see the prophet Jesus Messiah as well. We will see the Islamic Union and we will all pass away after we do our duty. No one will remain here. The ones that remain the last will follow us as well, the world will be empty and then the Last Day will break loose.

The system of Mahdi is a system where the Mahdi fights bravely against the foolish struggles of satan and his team on his own and destroys them. The Mahdi will enter into a battle of minds against the demons and hypocrites of the system of antichrist. They will all get crushed like an insect under the wisdom and intelligence of the Mahdi. The system of Mahdi is the triumph of a man’s wisdom over the cunning wit of satan.

According to the hadiths, Jesus Messiah (pbuh) and the Mahdi (as) will meet each other at a prayer time. Jesus Messiah will say to the Mahdi, "You be the imam [leader], you make us perform the prayer", and from that moment on ,the Mahdi will be the leader of the whole world.

Technology like TV and internet that will be available at the time of Mahdi is elaborated in detail in the hadiths.

God will always support the real Mahdi movement, and make it successful. But fake ones do stumble and fall in time. Arrogant, supercilious, false Mahdi movements are bound to fail as they are defying God.

Mahdi will lead that prayer in Jerusalem by the will of God. He will pray together with the Prophet Jesus (pbuh).

The US freemasons and Knight Templars have been waiting for the Mahdi for a long time. The Mahdi will come when people lose their hope in him.

When Jesus comes, people will love him with inspiration. The love for Mahdi will also be inspired to people’s hearts.

It is also accepted in Judaism that the Mahdi will appear in Istanbul. Ancient Judaic sources relate that the Mahdi will appear in Istanbul.

According to Jewish sources, the Mahdi (pbuh) will resemble the Prophet Moses (pbuh) the most in terms of disposition; and the Prophet Solomon (pbuh) in terms of humorousness.
