Do you know what consulting to one’s conscience mean? It means Allah revealing to your heart. When you see Jesus Messiah, Allah reveals in your heart that this person is the Jesus Messiah. You would then understand. When you see the Mahdi (pbuh) Allah reveals that in your heart that he is the Moshiach, King Messiah, Mahdi. You would then understand, you would then feel his existence. You recognize good people.

Ultra-modern Islam is an amazing inclination to arts and aesthetics and taking science to the highest level. It is the beauty of style. It is aiming the most beautiful manners, the most beautiful appearance; in short it is aiming the most beautiful of everything that is good. When you completely abide by our good conscience completely, you become ultra-modern Muslims.

Many countries invest in roads, bridges and dams but they do not invest on people. People's spiritual aspects, their hearts and their conscience should be invested on.

Ambition for fame does not become a Muslim. In order to educate the lower-self a person should constantly see his/her lower-self in weakness. He /She should submit to Allah, feel great love to his/her brothers and sisters, approach them with affection and live the enthusiasm of being a servant to them.

It is easy to persuade an intelligent person, it is easy to address his conscience. I mean such a person would not act tactless. An intelligent person would be reasonable. It is a great blessing that such a person cannot act remorseless. A wise person cannot run over his conscience, I mean he acts in line with his conscience. You hear beautiful words from him because he is conscientious. Such a person's beauty would mean something. Otherwise beauty has no meaning. That is because all there is left behind would be flesh and bones. And they have no meaning in that sense.

Feeling love for God requires wisdom and effort. So is genuine piety. It requires wisdom and delicacy, it requires good conscience.

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.

Religion is learnt directly from the Qur'an. The Qur'an is very explicit. It is in a way that all those who read it will understand. Even unbelievers understand. Unbelievers deny even though they understand it in their conscience.

There is a negative force that is called satan but it's effect is weak. The important thing is that if we use our good conscience, if we use our mind, Allah constantly reveals in our conscience. For instance when we do something, if it is wrong, it comes to us as knowledge; it is revealed to us. It is inspired in our hearts. If we resist that knowledge, we would be acting conscienceless. If we do not resist it and act on it, we would be acting in compliance with our good conscience.

Knowing the Qur'an, yet arguing against it requires one's conscience to be completely demolished. It is impossible for a reasonable mindset to deny the existence of Allah that is because such a person would not be able to do that.

To criticize one's self and not claiming to be free of blame would make a Muslim adopt the character of a guide. A person's criticizing himself would make him wise and healthy. Exalting one's self would make one sick. It makes one crazy. When one criticizes himself, when one criticizes his lower self, he would be exalted; he would become wise and smart.

One should look at everything with compassion, mercy and through the eyes of reason and he should be calming. We are being tested in this short life on this world. Some people might yield to their lower-selves. But one would not be abandoning religion when he does so, he would just be committing a sin and making a mistake that is all.

There is no command in the Qur'an that would conflict with reason and the good conscience of people.

A person making use of his or her conscience, one who abides by the Qur’an would see the clear path of Islam, the path of the Companions; he or she would see the path of the system of the Mahdi.

Whoever is conscientious, he sides with Allah. Whoever is unconscientious leaves Allah and pursues his own pleasures. He tends to this transitory world.

People generally do not attach necessary importance to the concept of the lower self. Actually it is a special force embedded in humans, it is a negative power; may God forbid it might drive one crazy and might even make one commit murder, it might make one commit suicide. All these troubles happen under the influence of the lower self. People imagine that nothing would happen if they go by their lower selves but actually lots of things happen. It might take one over and drag them into troubles,; the lower self suffocates one.

It is not possible to carry out possitive studies with one’s lower self. Lower selves cannot be exonerated. It is a force that is active in a person’s soul constantly commanding evil.

God gives one aggressive, abnormal wrong feelings to the lower self, but He also shows the ways to be protected against those with the verses of the Qur’an. The whole system of trial is founded upon that anyways. People need to recognize this highly dangerous threat and be alerted and be careful against it. We are to look for the acts that please God the most.

The lower self, jealousy and egocentricity make one’s body do abnormal acts eventually. People assume that nothing bad will happen if one follows his lower self; actually lots of things happen. It would ruin a man. The lower self is the propelling force in those who commit suicide. It drives them mad and drags them into committing suicide. They also commit murders because they abide by their lower selves.

If one does not criticize himself and sees himself as sufficient and above criticism, he would become insane. A Muslim should certainly criticize himself and have others criticize him. This is necessary for one's sanity or else one's mental health would be disrupted; his judgment and reasoning would be impaired. His foresight and perception would be blocked. Have a look at those around you, you will see. Avoiding criticisms would cause instability and would prevent one to be reasonable.

In order to be stable and reasonable one should certainly criticize himself. Even if it is once in a while, he should certainly criticize himself and one should do so when he is in the company of others. Only then one could become a stable, reasonable person. That is a miracle of the Qur'an. A solid, tangible miracle.

Forgiveness is a characteristic God appreciates greatly. That is because revenge might give a lowly pleasure to one's soul, but forgiving is hard; I mean it [forgiveness] necessitates will-power and wisdom. That is because in forgiveness one does not achieve satisfaction, but revenge might bring satisfaction. That is why God takes forgiveness as a basis.

The human body tends to behave like an animal when left to its own devices; it will just want to eat and sleep, it will easily get scared and act selfishly. One should balance out that animalistic side by means of faith. One shouldn't allow oneself to act like an animal.

If one allows his lower self to take control, the lower self will start acting like an animal; it will act primitively like one.

The world is not at ease at this moment, the Middle East is in a bloodbath. Not fear, but terror is going on in the Middle East at this moment. Without the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) that is what happens.
