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.

An incomprehensible violence, an incomprehensible savagery has engulfed the whole world. Imam Mahdi (pbuh) has to appear. May Almighty God make Jesus Messiah appear. May He make Imam Mahdi (pbuh) appear. The time for that is approaching. They won't appear in 2015 on in 2016. But 2017, 2019 to 2021, these are sensitive dates.

I said that the year 2016 would be the year of the intellectual struggle against hypocrites. Turkey has grasped the importance of this struggle.

The year 2016 will be the year of the intellectual defeat of hypocrisy.

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).

Islamic Union is the most important issue; terror will immediately stop with the Islamic Union. The violence Muslims are subjected to will instantly stop.

A country in which women are not modern can never be modern. A country in which women are not comfortable and free can never be free. No one would ever laugh in a country in which women do not laugh. If women are not happy in a country, no one else can ever be happy.

Darwinism is the greatest Godless movement in the history of the world and it originated in the UK. The UK is the country that protects and watches over the antichrist.

The British deep state is the real perpetrator in the collapse of the Ottomans. They set nations who've lived alongside each other for centuries against one another through instigation but the civilians of the UK are innocent. The UK government is disturbed by this deep state structure as well.

The British deep state is the one who rules all the deep states of the world: They also rule the deep state of the US.

The British deep state is trying to replace Islam with Rumism. Muslims should be very cautious against this plot.

A Muslim would be falling astray if he accepts the abnormal statements made in the name of Mawlana. We do not know if Mawlana really made those statements or not but those statements are being published in the Masnavi known as his book: It is not possible to accept that.

If a person is not offended when inappropriate things are said about God, about the Qur'an, but instead makes a loud noise thinking Mawlana is being insulted, then that would be idolizing him.

The state should be looking out for the system of the Mahdi with all its might. That is because in the system of the Mahdi, there is no intervention to the state. The system of the Mahdi would not interfere in politics; that is because it has a feature that unites the Turkish world, and it is also a system against bigotry, a system that fully encourages modernity and is fundamentally against separation. That is absolutely ideal for the state.

Almighty God conceals Himself under covers. Those who can see beneath those covers are very rare; I mean those who are able to uncover, let us say, sixty of those may be seventy covers are very few. People of the heart uncover those covers and the more they do so, the more they become closer to Almighty God.

The government should make Turkey modern. All the institutions of the state should be modernized. Efforts should be made to modernize our people. The buildings, life in general, the system, everything should be modernized. Otherwise there would be a grave danger.

We need to be a very modern European country. This is something our government should emphasize the most. Without modernity, there would be no progress in science, in arts. Without modernity we would not have any military power. We would become a classical Middle Eastern country and collapse gradually.

Modernity, before all else, brings about sanity. In a bigoted system, the human mind cannot operate normally. In a bigoted environment people become half-insane. Look around and you will see that many of them are mentally unstable. In modern societies, the human mind operates sanely and rationally.

The traditionalist orthodox system imagines that the more they exert pressure in the name of God, the more they move closer to God: Actually, in such an environment, not only do people not get closer to God but they drift further apart from God and religion and they also lose their mental stability.

God does not want us to have only medium wisdom while preaching Islam and disseminating His Message. He wants us to have superior wisdom. Islam would not be disseminated with a mediocre rationality and wisdom; that is because some anti-Islam fronts are in a struggle against Muslims in an ambitious alliance by advocating numerous other philosophies.

Assuming a humble attitude would not bring abatement for Muslims, it is not something depreciative. A Muslim is not in a position to be worried about his pride, but rather about the good of Islam.

One should never severe his connection with God. Many things could happen that might appear to be against him, many things might go wrong, but one should nevertheless follow a very rational policy that doesn't mind stepping back when necessary. Muslims are humble people and assume God's sense of right and wrong. Acting moderately as much as possible is what suits a Muslim. Sudden and unrestrained reactions would block one's rationality.

A Muslim would not respond to foolishness with foolishness, to instability with instability, to rage with rage, to anger with anger. One needs to be rational and always be aware of the fact that God is with him; that is because God is the One Who makes the others do those abnormal acts. Consequently a Muslim would be aware of the fact that no one is an independent being, so he would not worry.

God is the Creator of even the maddest or the most abnormal acts. Individuals are not the perpetrators; no one can ever act outside destiny. That is why one needs to be moderate, poised and rational when evaluating incidents taking place.

Sentimentality and anger are beneath Muslims. That is because a Muslim always acts with God in mind. He always thinks rationally and equitably. He never forgets that God is the One Who creates everything, even those things that appear to be the most horrible incidents.
