Mahdi (pbuh) is the one who will lead the first prayers in the Hagia Sophia. He will do that with whom? With the Prophet Jesus (pbuh). Istanbul is one of those places Jesus (pbuh) will visit. The second one is Jerusalem and Mecca is the third.

You have no attachment to the Moshiach, meaning the Mahid (pbuh), but the whole Middle East revolves around that. Whether you like it or not, that is the case. The foreign policy of the , the Mahdi (pbuh). So is the foreign policy of Saudi Arabia and of Iraq.

Iran's policy is shaped directly in pursuance of the system of the Mahdi. They are nurturing an army of a million soldiers, the army of the Mahdi. They are binding everything to the Mahdi night and day. In Israel, they are praying for the coming of the Moshiach three times a day. While this is the case, if you turn a blind eye to that, it would be your loss. That is because history progresses in this direction.

Jews will gather in Israel in the End Times. That is also stated in the Torah. "I will gather you from all around the world," God says in the Torah. That time has come. That means we are in the times of the Moshiach. It is the time of the Mahdi/Moshiach. Indeed Jews are flooding into Israel from all over the world.

The radicals are pitch black inside. The corruption and sedition they have inside would neither draw them closer to Mahdi (pbuh) or to the true path, but only to darkness.

Before the appearance of the Mahdi (pbuh) portents about his appearance will appear. Before entering the rose garden, you smell their beautiful fragrance. Then you approach the rose bush and you find that special rose.

When they start speaking out against the Mahdi, a cloud of inauspiciousness envelops them from where they least expect it. Troubles rain down upon them from their feet, from their head, from their body. They imagine that these are simply slip-ups. Actually these all happen because they used bad language against the system of the Mahdi and that is why God smashes their mouths and that is the whole issue.

The radicals are created as the enemy of the system of the Mahdi. As a matter of fact, their animosity is a special system created to elevate the rank of the system of the Mahdi. Radicals are the people of hell created to elevate the rank of the system of the Mahdi. God elevates the rank of the Mahdi (pbuh) with those people of the hell.

There is a specifically attained great lobby of poverty. Mahdi (pbuh) will clear away this poverty lobby, this system that organizes poverty. At that time, the world will become wealthy on its own automatically. But that will be the last wealth of the world.

The appearance of the Mahdi (pbuh) and Jesus Messiah (pbuh), the establishment of the Islamic Union and a short period in which Islamic values would prevail is what God wills for. We will, insha'Allah, see these.

By means of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), this scourge of Darwinism that denies God will be annihilated; Islam will prevail and the Last Day will come after a while.

In the hadiths, it is related that the Last Day will be put on hold when the Mahdi comes. It is on hold right now; the Last Day is right at our door but God stopped it because of the Mahdi (pbuh).

The reason why God sent Mahdi is for him to eradicate Darwinism. This is the main reason. He is sent to do annihilate this ideology that denies God.

Such a wide scale denial, in which billions of people deny the existence of God and claim that man is created by coincidences, has never been seen in the history of the world before. There has been very small faithless communities, very small unbeliever groups and the rest of the masses have always believed in God. This is the first time something like that is happening. Such an affliction has never been seen before. We will all see that Mahdi (pbuh) will put away this affliction with the manifestation of God's Name "Al-Hadi" (The Guide).

Imam Mahdi (pbuh) is the one who provides an environment for Jesus Messiah. Jesus Messiah comes as a guest, so he would not have such an active task. He would be very influential in the foreign policy of the world; together with his students, he would be influential on people like Putin and Prince Charles of England. But he would have such a significant influence. That is because Jesus Messiah cannot make himself apparent, but that is not the case with Mahdi (pbuh).

Love will be completely embedded in the hearts of Muslims. Love is the law of the universe, the purpose of the creation of the universe. Imam Mahdi and Jesus Messiah will teach love to everyone.

There is no need for any of these weapons. All weapons will be annihilated at the time of the Mahdi (pbuh); weapons and all other sorts of things made for killing people. People are for loving, not for killing. It is horrible to make things to kill people. All that will be annihilated, insha'Allah.

There is no way to stop ISIS right now. The solution of ISIS is with Imam Mahdi (pbuh), with Jesus Messiah. You will see that there will be profuse bloodshed all through 2015, 2016, 2017. Until 2019.

The system of the Mahdi is not a force that prevails in the world only with preaching religion. Right now all the doors to the system of the Mahdi are opening. Is it the system of the Mahdi who does that? Is it the Mahdi (pbuh) who does that? No: God is the One Who creates everything. All the obstacles in front of the system of the Mahdi are being removed one by one right now. The entire system is prepared for the Mahdi. God makes all these changes.

Without the system of the Mahdi, this traditionalist Orthodox understanding of Islam, this traditionalist Orthodox Shia understanding would ruin the world, let me tell you that much. They will suffer a great deal, but they will understand eventually. These troubles will only come to an end with the Mahdi (pbuh), not any other way.

Hazrat Mahdi’s (pbuh) interpretation of the Qur’an is different, and the interpretation of the antichrist is different. Some of the Evangelicals interpret according to the antichrist; if you interpret with the spirit of the Mahdi, the result will be divine. That is why Mahdi (pbuh) is awaited in the End Times. Right now, there is the interpretations of the antichrist. Only violence will come about from the interpretations of the antichrist.

Before the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), an amazing wave of disasters will engulf the whole of Europe. God will remind people of Himself and an age of peace will then start.

God wished to make Islam prevail in destiny. This is not possible with artificial systems and fake Mahdis. I mean, Islam would not prevail by planning by making mere arrangements.

They are not expecting the appearance of the Mahdi right now but they will amazingly see that the course of events is taking them there. Their feet will bring them there, even if they don’t want it. Their tongues will speak in that direction even if they, themselves, do not want it. They will have to think in that way.

There will be grave incidents. Other than the appearance of the Mahdi, the Moshiach, there is no salvation for the world. You will be amazed, you will be very surprised but this is the truth. God has planned this for the world and He created everything accordingly. This is destiny. There is no other way.
