Love and compassion is the main characteristic of the Turkish army. That is why the armies of the whole world admire the Turkish army, they admire their loving attitude, their compassion, their sense of justice, their trustworthiness, their respectability.

Alevis are very dear and they are very devout people. First of all their souls are very open to love and arts. Think how enthusiastic the love of God would be in a person whose soul is open to arts and love. Because they love God fervently, they feel love for arts and they are in love with the Prophet (saas), they are in love with Hazrat Ali (ra). Alevis are the ornaments of Turkey, they are the ornaments of this world, they are such radiant people.

Those who love Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) would also love our Prophet (saas). If one loves our Prophet (saas), he should also love Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Our Prophet (saas) has passed away but Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is a part of him; he is his son. If you love the Prophet(saas) you should take his son alive as basis. And you attempt to make him forgotten that means you do not feel love for our Prophet (saas).

If in an environment, there is no place for the arts, if there is no love; if there is only pain and horror, if there is destitute, then there would neither be industry, nor wealth, nor joy in that environment. There will be nothing. No matter how much you help them. I mean it would be like giving blood to a corpse. Give a thousand liters if you like, that corpse would not be revived. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), Jesus Messiah (pbuh) and the Unity of Islam are the only way to bring life to that environment. There is no other way.

Love is the greatest weapon. We need to avoid all statements of hatred. If approached with rage, people cannot be persuaded.

It is possible to calm down even the most furious person with love and kindness. A society could be calmed down very nicely if they are angry and enraged. But it is not possible to calm down society by shouting and screaming, by bullying, by making a fuss, by threatening or by radicalism.

Endearing, affectionate outpost should be built for the Gendarme. We need to change the soul of the outposts. They should turn into touristic facilities. Let there be a restaurant, a shopping center, a library inside the outpost. Their only reason for existence is to protect honest, good people; that should be ensured.

We need to potentiate kindness and embarrass the evil ones among people. For instance when something is criticized the response should be given in ten folds of beauty.

It is not possible to procure religiousness through governments; that can only be made possible with the system of the Mahdi. The system, the spirit that would come about in religiousness is love. I mean the system of the Mahdi brings about a lot of love, compassion, mercy, understanding, tolerance, sweetness, broadness of perspective, arts and science, it would bring about social justice; none of which can be attained through impositions. In the system of the Mahdi there is no place for impositions.

If people were to go to Heaven without learning about love, their hearts would be completely empty. We have to learn about love before going to Heaven. Those who have no love in their hearts would not take pleasure from the blessings of the Heaven.

Lack of love and lack of quality would create a vast emptiness.

Those on the side of the Mahdi (pbuh) would always talk about stopping the bloodshed, about love, compassion, freedom, peace, science, arts and aesthetics.

Ignorance brings about communism. Ignorance brings about fascism. Ignorance brings about wild capitalism. A cultured, well-informed person would not get into those tracks. That is because once one sees information, he would be seeing Allah’s artistry. Once one sees the artistry of Allah, he would fall in love with Allah. One who falls in love with Allah would fear Allah and feel a profound love. Such a person would abide by the Qur’an. He would thus become the most perfect, best person on earth, insha’Allah.

Some people assume that what is meant by standing in awe during prayers is to loose one's self. In fact standing in awe is sincerity. It is a sincere connection with God, it is feeling love for God with an open conscience. That is what standing in awe means.

You patiently endure difficulties and thus you show your love. If you do not endure difficulties, gratification would not be formed either. “I feel love but I do not endure difficulties,” that is not acceptable. Even in the story of Layla and Majnun they endure difficulties and that is that love appears nice to us. When one endures difficulties for the sake of Allah, when one endures pain, it would be beautiful. Or else everyone could feel love.

If you feel in love with Allah, if you taste that fervent love, then you would kiss the soil of the Heaven. Everything will be very beautiful for you and you would never be bored from them for all eternity, you would feel a deep affection.

Allah puts people through a difficult test. That is because He will make them live for all eternity. I mean He teaches love to beings that will live forever, He teaches them to appreciate the blessings. Or else may Allah forbid, one may go to the Heaven yet still does not understand Heaven.

One needs to look and admire the rich details in God's creating. Then the love one feels for God would increase even further. When love increases so does the fear of God. When fear of God increases, so does your submission to God. When your submission to God increases, it would be as if your nerves are taken. Your mind would be at ease and you would be very much relieved. You would feel a sense of relief, a sense of contentment and ease insha'Allah.

Everyone can feel distressed at times. This is how it is in this World as a part of the trial. Drinking lukewarm water, not leaving the body dehydrated, not leaving one's self sleepless, moving a little. But the most important and above all else being in love with Allah, completely submitting to Allah and leaving one's self to Allah and knowing that reasons can never be a basis [ can be the cure for to overcome that distress.]

Muslims are sincere. They love Allah deeply. They do not adopt a special attitude, they act whole-heartedly. People are amazed by our sincerity, let them be. We will continue to be sincere until the very end, we will be sincere for all eternity insha'Allah.

Love for Allah is the whole issue. It is the greatest pleasure, the greatest blessing in the world. Once you feel love for Allah, everything else is over. You start living in Heaven in this world and you live in Heaven in the Hereafter as well.

The love of the Prophet (saas) is a divine love. He loves everything as the manifestation of Allah. He loves with the love of Allah, with affection.

Uwais Qarni loved Allah with a profound love; he was madly in love with Allah. He has suffered many ordeals but he always looked at our Lord with good opinions.

There is a tendency to boredom in the human nature, in the human soul in proportion with that person's faith. However a Muslim would not be bored, would not feel weary of love, a Muslim would not feel weary of beauty and affection insha'Allah. For instance Muslims get bored from empty talks, from monotonic approaches. They search richness, I mean they want novelties, they want beauties.

One should approach God by praising, by giving glory to God. We should increase our thanks to God. When that is increased, the blessings bestowed upon one would increase as well. How does that work? God does that without making it felt. The more you send your thanks to God; the more the blessings bestowed upon you increases. All increase from aspects you do not know of, from aspects you cannot even think of.
