Our Prophet (saas) says; "whoever of you lives to see him, let him crawl over snow to him and join him". What is meant here is; "Do not give up your service just because the weather is cold." "If you have sensed who Mahdi (pbuh) is, if you have wholeheartedly attached yourself to the Mahdi (pbuh), you should continue your activities." That is the meaning of it. Sometimes cold weather might cause people to retract. You should not make cold, winter or the snow an excuse, you should continue your service.

Love, compassion, mercy, forgiveness and gentleness are lifeworks of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). What is the lifework of the bigots? Hatred, rage, grudge, vengeance, killing..

Annihilating the atomic bombs is the task of the Mahdi (pbuh).

The Last Day was supposed to come but the angels that will bring the Last Day have returned. That is because Mahdi (pbuh) and the system of the Mahdi are on the agenda. What does our Prophet (saas) say? "Even if we have one single day, one single moment, one hour, one minute left till the Last Day, Mohammad Mahdi (pbuh) from my sons will come," says our Prophet (saas). He says; "Allah will postpone that day. The Last Day will be postponed."

For the sake of Mahdi (pbuh), the Last Day has been postponed. Some people thought that it was postponed randomly. That is not the case. It has been postponed for the Mahdi (pbuh) for the sake of Hazrat Mahdi(pbuh), insha'Allah.

When Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) appears as the spiritual leader of Muslims, his every word, every statement will bring radiance to the world. People will have the best of the words, the best of arts and aesthetics insha'Allah.

The antichrist(dajjal) struck people from love. It struck people from compassion and mercy. It darkened people's hearts and faces. It has extensively disrupted their appearances and their souls. Mahdi will correct this scourge of the Dajjal (antichrist) in a very short time like the rain of mercy insha'Allah.

Mahdi (pbuh) and his students are very brave, courageous and intrepid in their nature.

Hazrat Mahdi awaited in the End Times will execute the Ilm Al-Ladun (Hidden Knowledge) that no one in the End Times puts into practice. That is why many people will be against Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Just like the Prophet Moses (pbuh) objecting Hazrat Khidr (pbuh) many people will say; "His attitudes are against Islam," and object him unknowingly.

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is the Sultan of the Hidden Knowledge in the End Times. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be successful with the Hidden Knowledge.

Sultan Mehmet, the Conqueror was waiting for the Mahdi (pbuh) as well. Sultan Suleiman, the Magnificent waited for the Mahdi, they all waited. They have decorated Istanbul with mosques, with palaces just because the Mahdi (pbuh) will be coming. They have decorated Istanbul, our forefathers have prepared Istanbul for the Mahdi (pbuh).

Sultan Mehmet, the Conqueror conquered Istanbul to prepare it for the Mahdi (pbuh), for the approval of Allah. Scholars, saints, they all knew that Mahdi will appear in Istanbul. In order for Mahdi to work comfortably in Istanbul, our ancestors conquered Istanbul under the hardest conditions.

The committee of the dajjal (antichrist) and the dajjal will attempt to exert pressure on Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and his students in order to prohibit their just and right activities, they will threaten them and attempt to cast them out according to their own twisted minds. Under such conditions the students of Hazrat Mahdi will continue their scientific struggle with love, compassion, reason, science and culture. That is the reason of the increase in their good deeds, their being the lions of the End Times, their being worshippers at night, their being appraised; that is the reason why they attain more good deeds than the Companions.

Istanbul is the place in which the system of the Mahdi gives an intellectual struggle against Darwinism and materialism. Istanbul is the capital of culture. This is the place in which cultures are giving an intellectual struggle.

Some people will attempt humiliate the students of the Mahdi, including Mahdi (pbuh) himself and they will be oppressed. Some people will attempt to crush them with insults, slanders and conspiracies. But in the end Islam will prevail in the world insha'Allah.

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be the brain of his students. Without Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) his students would not have any power.

There is Mahdi (pbuh), there are the students of the Mehdi (pbuh) and there is a collective identity consisting of all these.

The radiant individuals Bediuzzaman refers to are Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and his students.

Bediuzzaman calls the students of Mahdi "sacred flowers."

Istanbul is a gift given to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Because Istanbul is entrusted to the Mahdi (pbuh) no one can lay hands on it.

Istanbul has been conquered specifically for Mahdi, by Almighty God and given to the Ottomans. That is the sole purpose of it. God created the destiny in that way for the appearance of Mahdi. Istanbul has been adorned like a bride for the coming of the Mahdi.

There will not be another earthquake in Istanbul until Hijri 1506, insha'Allah. After Hijri 1506 it will be like hell until Hijri 1545 anyway. There will be earthquakes, disasters, troubles, civil wars, coups. There will be a fascist uprising and a communist uprising and that will cover the whole world. There will be a blood bath.

There will not be a big earthquake in Istanbul, until Hijri 1506. There might be minor quakes but a destructive earthquakes will not take place until 1506, insha'Allah.

Bediuzzaman says; “I would have come to Istanbul even if I were in Mecca or Medina.” He says; “Turkey is the center of the Islamic Union.” Bediuzzaman has always implemented a policy based on Istanbul.

There is no reason to use will power for love. Allah has given love to us in our nature. All we have to do is to be sincere and conscientious and that is all.
