This world is somewhere between heaven and hell. God makes believers live in a world dominated with iddylic attributes. This’s a great blessing.

In Heaven, people are not created through evolution. People existed in Qalu Bala before they were sent to this world. They did not evolve.

In Heaven, people are not created through evolution. People existed in Qalu Bala before they were sent to this world. They did not evolve.

Before God created the universe, He created all people in the Realm of Souls where there is no time and place, and took their promise. God created Prophet Adam (pbuh) in heaven. There is no evolution in any of their creation.

Those who support the fallacy that there is evolution in the Qur'an can't explain creation of Heaven, angels, jinn, plants and the mansions in Heaven.

The love between children and their pets is like a preview of Heaven.

It's a proof of creation that the staff of Prophet Moses (pbuh) turns into a snake in an instant. Heaven and hell are also created; there's no evolution.

The most vital matter is to have a profound love of God. God created love as a great pleasure; all blessings in Heaven are granted only for love.

Three of my very close friends have been martyred. Martyrdom is a celebration for us and we do not cry after those who are blessed with Heaven, we rejoice at their martyrdom.

The Dajjal's [antichrist] system brings hell, yet it appears like heaven; it’ll provide all means to dajjal’s supporters and make his opposers live a life like hell.

Heaven will be a place in which we will pet and love animals to our hearts’ content. There are always weaknesses and deficiencies in this world, but there is only perfection and impeccability in Heaven.

The most beautiful being and blessing in Heaven is the manifestation of the Almighty God.

Jihad means making an effort. It is one’s struggle against one’s lower self. For instance, constant intellectual effort against the disbelief system is jihad.

Believers find excitement in the eagerness to carry out jihad, that is to say, struggling intellectually for the sake of Islam. If the hearts of people are plagued by laziness and carelessness, they grow weary and negligent. They withdraw into themselves as they do not concern themselves with religion, fear of God, or love of God. They do not feel any excitement that will reflect on their faces.

The word ‘jihad’ means ‘striving or showing an effort’ NOT in the form of 'waging a war', but in the form of an 'intellectual struggle' according to the Qur’an. In Islam, war, military action, is only waged for the purposes of self-defense.

Hypocrites tell Our Prophet (pbuh) and his companions, "If we knew how to fight, we would certainly follow you." Hypocrites intentionally make themselves appear as incompetent. Additionally, they do not want Muslims to carry out activities for the benefit of Islam. So, they also try to hinder Muslims in this regard.

If no one ever objected to us as we preached the religion, if everyone accepted everything we said, supported us, praised us, what do you think would happen in the Hereafter? The reward would be much less. But if there is objection, if you are working and making an effort despite that objection, the reward will be immense. God creates resistance, a lot of resistance, only so that Muslims will be more greatly rewarded . It is a gift of God to Muslims.

The Companions of our Prophet (saas) always strove for the sake of God. But the hypocrites always had excuses like ‘our houses are exposed' or ‘we would have come if we knew how’. However, if they were told that they would be given gold, they would have immediately obliged. That is because it would have served their interests. However, one's interests should always be in showing good morality; one should choose faith and reward from God instead of gold. Otherwise one would start to turn into an animal.

A Heaven resided in by robots is not an environment God likes, God doesn't want robots. One who hasn't proven his loyalty, his patience or his courage wouldn't have a feeling of self-worth in that sense. That means he couldn't regard himself as worthy and beautiful if he didn't make sacrifices, if he didn't act generously, if he didn't strive on the path of God, if he didn't do anything to show his love.

God regards martyrdom as the highest form of love. That is what God likes the most. But of course the most acceptable martyrdom is attained while one is actually striving on the path of God. That is because such a person goes to war openly knowing that it is possible that he will be killed and will be martyred there. Going on a struggle on the path of God, without feeling fear, is what is most acceptable.

What is meant by jihad in the verses of the Qur'an is struggling; an intellectual struggle, an effort, all sorts of activities. People tend to take it as if it means "hanging people and chopping them up." The fact is however, jihad is the name of the effort put on the path of God.

It is difficult to give a struggle against hypocrites. It is difficult to give a struggle against unbelief. It is not easy to serve Islam for God. Of course one would face hardship; that hardship beautifies Muslims. The difficulties he faced is the reason why our Prophet (saas) was so beautiful.

One says, “I have lived a very happy life, I have never faced any troubles all my life.” That is not a gain. First of all he won’t go to Heaven. In the Qur’an God says; “Or did you suppose that you would enter the Garden without facing the same as those who came before you?” (Surat Al-Baqara, 214) A Muslim should strive on the path of God, face difficulties and make an effort against unbelief, against the hypocrites.

Jihad: "Jahd" means striving. These people, however, understand jihad as chopping people up. Instead of chopping up that person, would it not be better if you try to persuade that person, if you persuade that person with your ideas? When you chop that person up you would be annihilating that person, he would not have the opportunity to be a Muslim! Yet if you preach religion, if you tell them about God, they would come to believe.

We will rebuild the Temple of Prophet Solomon (pbuh) together. The Mahdi (Moshiach) will be instrumental to end all wars.
