Once we lose faith, all those nervous breakdowns, physical disorders start. As faith is lost, a body becomes so devastated. Weakness of faith makes a person go nuts. As faith becomes more profound, he becomes more healthy, beautiful and good and his heart opens up, he feels relieved.

The images showing that people do not submit to Allah are miraculous. They are signs leading to faith. I am not talking about only examining the life of ants or analyzing the hour; one needs to examine how people tend to this life. This is a great sign leading to faith.

WEAKNESS OF FAITH, FORGETTING ALLAH CAUSES ENORMOUS DESTRUCTION TO THE BODY. THE BODY IS DEVASTATED. That poor body collects itself only by sleeping for seven or eight hours.

THE BODY IS TORN MOSTLY BECAUSE OF FORGETTING ALLAH. THE BODY SUFFERS A LOT. The body pulls itself together by sleeping. It recovers from that enormous destruction only by sleeping.

WEAKNESS OF FAITH IS THE SCOURGE OF THE WORLD. Since when? Since Prophet Adam (as). People are always put to the test with weakness of faith.

Weakness of faith is a grave sickness in the End Times. Weakness of faith is the number one issue. Therefore, one must always reinforce one’s faith, through the signs leading to it.

The faith of the youth should be reinforced but that cannot be done through giving them knowledge of religious law. I mean knowledge of religious love would not increase people's faith. It would be partial even if it did. Faith increases through facts leading to faith, through scientific evidence. There should be a way of explaining that addresses people's mind, people's hearts.

When there is a weakness in faith, Allah scorches the world and does not give happiness. That was the reason for the collapse of the Ottomans, that was also the reason for the collapse of Seljuk Sultanate. When a bigoted structure develops, when a conservative structure develops, when arts, science, love decreases, when people become estranged from the spirit of the Qur'an, disasters assuredly follows.

They need to see that no result can be attained through explanations made about the Islamic law. The best effort that can be carried out is to verify one's faith and to increase his fear from Allah. Enabling one to become absolutely sure of the existence of Allah and having the verification of that faith settle in his heart and enwrap his soul and heart, then it would be okay. Or else simply saying "this is religiously forbidden and that is religiously lawful" would not have an effect.

Because of their weakness in faith, some people attempt to cover up the system of the Mahdi in their own minds. A Muslim would be cheerful, wise, sincere and natural. He would not adopt special manners.

Bigots have weakness in their beliefs. They do not attach that much importance to faith. They are after a romantic understanding of faith; a sentimental way of faith. They have an understanding of faith that can hardly be called faith. I mean they do not aim for high, profound faith.

The culture, knowledge, faith and reasoning of bigots are not in a way that could reinforce the faith of the people they come across or that could be instrumental to their faith. Their way of talking is very superficial. In general they almost never get into faith related matters.

What a beautiful environment of trial Allah has created. Allah veils Himself to the people with weak faith, and opens and shows Himself even further to strong people. Faith then becomes precious, it becomes even more beautiful. That is because you find Him by searching, you give make effort to that end.

Profound faith is the greatest comfort in the world. Profound faith should be asked for from Allah. In weakness of faith a person goes to bed in pain and wakes up in pain. Such a person wakes up devastated. Even their dreams, their eating and drinking, their waking up are all troublesome and unsettling. May Allah forbid.

One cannot make people pious by merely telling them the Islamic jurisprudence [fıqh]. They should be taught about the facts of faith, about the miracles of the Quran. The issues should be explained scientifically. Both the mind and the heart have to be convinced at the same time.

Those who want to grasp the essence of the religion must look at the Qur’an with attention. There are so many verses related to the weakness of faith.

That is how Almighty Allah creates the test. This is the wisdom of Almighty Allah. He shows it as a mere 50 percent to 50 percent. The people of faith makes up 51 percent and above while disbelievers 49 percent and below.

There is nothing in this world. It as a mere place of trial. But Allah creates people with very dim intelligence. Allah makes them love this world and looking at that, people are deceived.

Whoever is conscientious, he sides with Allah. Whoever is unconscientious leaves Allah and pursues his own pleasures. He tends to this transitory world.

What if people could see the state of those ladies and men, who have boasted about themselves throughout their lives, in their graves? For instance, if they could ever see the form those bodies would take after the first 20 to 30 or 50 days; they would have no attachment to this world at all.

One needs to focus all his attention and love on Allah.

Allah creates human beings as cruel and ignorant. That is why people look at others and make errors. They say, “That person has no faith, the other is an imposter and the other is abnormal. In the verse Allah says that the majority of people do not have faith, and those who have faith ascribe partners to Allah. This is the provision of Allah. There is nothing to be astonished with it.

People swerve from the true path by looking at the majority of people. In a verse Allah says, “If you follow the majority of people, they divert you from the true path.” You will not abide by the majority. There is one Allah and you. You will look at the Qur’an.

You have to have a rational outlook. They say, “My friend is so and so.” Your friend appears in your brain. You will have an idea of who is your friend and who is not in the hereafter. YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT MANY OF YOUR FRIENDS ARE ZOMBIES, THE LIVING DEAD. For instance they say, “My mother is so, my father is so.” They can also be zombies. Your parents can be zombies. They may be the people onto whom Allah has not blown His spirit.

The number of people may be much below our anticipation. There may not be many people. The majority may be dead. There are so many dead people in this world. THEY LOOK AT THE DEAD AND SHOW SUCH AN UGLY DARING. THE REASON WHY PEOPLE ARE SO FURIOUS IS BECAUSE THEY TAKE THE DEAD AS AN EXAMPLE.
