Some men say: ‘I don't have love or respect; but I do have money’. What a horrible thing to offer a woman, what a nightmare. They lead such miserable lives. What does it matter if they live in a palace? For such a person, every single day would bring fresh waves of pain. What good would palaces or luxury do without love, without respect?

As soon as one ushers in love, it will come. It’s waiting right outside the door. Just say “love, come to me," and it will come instantly to fill your heart. It is ready to serve your soul. Because it’s the way God created it. But people keep it waiting at the door and don't let it in. Instead, they usher in animosity, hostility, coldness, skepticism, cruelty, sarcasm, tactlessness and rudeness and keep love waiting at their door.

If you invite love, it will come at that instant and is very easy to attain. As soon as it arrives, it settles in the heart, in the brain. And love loves humans because it loves God. When it finds its way to the brain, brain will find relief. When it reaches the heart, heart will burst with joy. Love broadens the horizons.

When love touches the eyes, eyes will become more beautiful and begin to look more deeply. When love touches the tongue, every sentence uttered will be more articulate and wise. When it touches the vocal cords, the voice will sound more pleasant. When it lands on the skin, the skin will find love and begin to glow. In other words, love will beautify a person in every single way.

Anger, hatred, lack of love and compassion, selfishness, cruelty; these feelings blacken the eyes, blacken the words spoken. Once ensnared by such feelings, that person will lose the ability to talk sensibly. Observe carefully the language of those that refuse love. They just can’t make sensible sentences.

When they decide to tear down a country, they first turn its people into loveless, crude, brutal, vindictive crowds that have no inclination towards art or anything that is beautiful. Such people can no longer love anyone, any group, or any other country for that matter. After this first stage is completed, it becomes easier for them to bring down that nation.

What kind of interpretation of Islam is it if you do not preach to atheists and Darwinists? Who are we meant to command good and forbid evil to? Who are we meant to struggle against? Muslims have a duty to talk about Islam to Jews and Christians, known as the People of the Book, to atheists, to pagans and to everyone, in the kind of language they can understand. That is God’s command. You cannot talk about Islam using hostile language, only through love.

What is this lovelessness? It has spread everywhere. So calm down, come to your senses, try and see the good side of everything and improve your own surroundings. If there is an ugly thing, they just make it 10 times uglier. If something is broken, they shatter it into tiny pieces. That is no good. You must repair things and put them right.

Lovelessness is not good. It leads to ill fortune and disaster. That is wrong. God tells us to be friends with everyone.

The system of the Mahdi is based on love. The system of the Mahdi always desires love, compassion, friendship and brotherhood. The system of the hypocrite, of the antichrist, is the exact opposite of that.

We need to avoid a system that harbors the enemies of mankind and protects loveless people. We need to strengthen the people of love.

If we become Europeans, be enlightened and loving, if we hold women in high esteem, if it is seen that women are free in our country, if we attach importance to the arts, sciences, aesthetics, we would attain the highest quality. Anything other than that would cause our ruin.

If you are hateful towards Israel, reject anything that is modern, live in filthy houses, if you are loveless and hateful towards Russians, Greeks, Iranians, Shias, Alawites, Wahhabis, if you keep dropping innuendos about everyone; then you would be falling in the clutches of satan. Don't you see the atrocious position you are in? These are all very wrong. Love is the only thing a Muslim knows, so you need to be full of love.

God says, “I am the Eternal Power Who deserves to be loved. I am the One Who creates all love and all those you love. Their images belong to Me as well. So do not ascribe partners to Me and love Me." And that is what is right.

Love is in the forefront in Christianity. Muslims should read the Gospels. Not the parts that are corrupted but they should read those passages that are compatible with the Qur'an. Love is depicted in Gospels. There are also very beautiful passages in the Torah depicting love very nicely.

If you regard everything as a manifestation of God, He will make you love them, and they will love you. It is God Who brings that love into being: There is no other kind of love. Love of God is the only love.

You cannot love someone with mere flesh and blood. If you look at things on the basis of flesh and blood, they will smother you, and nothing will come of it. You must love the manifestation and spirit of God in the other person.

The only weapon we have is our insistence on love that stems from faith and that is all. We need to be devoutly religious but also full of love. We need to be avoid being vindictive, we need to try to make peace between everyone and strive for everyone's well-being.

For all the people across Europe, for people all around the world to be friends with us, before all else, for God to love us we need to become an amazing teacher of love. That is to say, we need to show an unprecedented personality. The world should watch us in awe. And we should be very, very modern.

Muslims are killing Muslims: All this would end if Muslims have a leader. With the Islamic Union, all Muslims will be saved. They will be saved on that day and hour. A spiritual leader, a leader elected with a loving bond would stop all the terror and all the groups of anarchy. That will spread a spirit that takes love and brotherhood as its basis to the whole Islamic world and everyone will see that they are protective friends of one another.

Love is a great power because God has placed love in the nature of man. Satan is trying to make us step out of our nature. By doing so, Satan has bit off more than it can chew. We will crush Satan under our feet and love will prevail in the world.

The solution to persecution is love, it is peace and rationalism, knowledge and science; the solution is the struggle against radicalism that would be given with the facts of the Qur'an. There might be some who feign ignorance right now, but in the very near future, they will all understand as the incidents that are taking place get even bigger. Write down what I have just said, you will see that things will happen exactly as said. Everything will happen exactly as said.

There should be no pride involved in love, since if there is pride, love ends. Pride and lack of forgiveness are the poisons of love. People thus fail in managing love. However, forgiveness, bringing your pride under control, putting your pride aside, this clears the way for love to the fullest extent.

God wants to be loved sincerely. Suffering and satan must exist for real love and compassion to be achieved.

How can something be considered right if the opposite of it does not exist? How will we be tried if satan and the lower-self do not exist? How can we recognize what is beautiful, what is right? It is impossible. It is impossible to achieve any higher love, any higher wisdom in this way. Then we would be no different than a child, we would not be able to develop.
