Eat, drink and travel; anyone can do that. There will be hardships, there will be illnesses, there will be difficulties, there will be troubles and scourges and you will love God deeply just the same against all odds. That is what Almighty God loves the most.

Imam Huseyin's blood cannot be avenged with blood. That can only be done by making the morality of the Qur'an prevail in the world, by bringing forth Islamic Unity.

Some Muslims say, "I am a good person, I would not be troubled with difficulties." Actually, that would be very weird. If you are seriously favored in a testing environment, it would annul the free will of mind. It would even take the free will of your mind. You are being tested as well. That is why prophets have diseases as well.

After a short while, Azerbaijan will open their doors, Armenia will open their doors, the Turkic states will open their doors. And then Iraq, Syria, Jordan, and moreover Israel. By means of Hazrat Mahdi we will live in love and brotherhood. But how long would that last? Seven to nine years and that is it. Later on an incomprehensible corruption will start, a moral corruption, up until Hijri 1545. That news will find them on a morning, or noon or night of 1545. They should write this on a stone. That stone will be torn into pieces on that day and the Last Day will come.

When Islam prevails, one who attains a million good deeds would only attain one good deed. Someone who previously attained a million good deeds with an act, with a behavior, would only attain –let us say- five good deeds with that act when Islam prevails in the whole world. After that, because no meaning is left in life and because the trial has come to an end, the Last Day comes swiftly. The passing away of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and the prophet Jesus Messiah (pbuh) and then the Last Day will come rapidly, insha'Allah.

The 55th verse of Surat An-Nur refers to the global sovereignty of the moral values of the Qur'an. The whole of Surat Al-Kahf depicts the system of the Mahdi. Surah Yusuf and the story of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh) is almost a summary of the system of the Mahdi.

Some people keep asking, "Why didn't the moral values of Islam prevail?" You are presenting a hellish life to people in the name of Islam. The fact is that Islam means love, beauty, joy, happiness, pleasantness, honesty and cleanliness. So what are you doing? You are merely presenting them a hellish life. You forbade everything and you do that claiming that you are acting in the name of God. Do those limits you force onto people have any place in the Qur'an? No, they don't. You are simply cooking all those up yourself.

Some people assume that Islam can only prevail with huge expenses, great activities, organized movements, by doing things covertly, etc. Look at the Qur'an and you'll see that Islamic values have always prevailed metaphysically. The whole issue is in attaining sincerity.

The system of the Mahdi is not a claim but a demonstration. Islam prevails in the world and an individual takes the lead of the Islamic world. We can then think that he is the Mahdi (pbuh), God knows the truth and that is all (we can do). We cannot enunciate it either, we can only say, "God knows the truth, he might be the one."

The PKK is a whip God uses for Islam to prevail, for pushing Muslims. Muslims were asleep, so God awakens Muslims with such trouble, with such a corruption. This feeling of honor is one of the means that wonderfully exalts spirituality. When there is a Pharaoh, there is a Moses. These are the Pharaohs of this age.

Almighty God created this world metaphysically. He doesn't like a plain life. He wants life to be vigorous, full of wars, heroism and bravery. As a result of all those hardships, Islam prevails in the world. God likes this.

It is explicitly stated in the Surah An-Nur, verse 55 - and also in many other verses - that the Islamic world will unite. In the Qur'an, Muslims say, “O Lord, make us leader of those who are God-fearing." That means the Islamic world has a leader, a chief. There is no mention of a leaderless society in the Qur'an, all the societies in the Qur'an have a leader. The Islamic world will have a leader [as well]. They have nothing [they can use] to deny that.

Troubles and afflictions only sharpen and strengthen people. This is the way God disciplines. Or else a great portion of people would remain heedless.

Their claims about Mahdi (pbuh) not being mentioned in the Qur'an are not true. Surat al-Kahf and Surah Yusuh entirely refer to the system of the Mahdi. The story of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh) refers to the system of the Mahdi. The 55th verse of Surat An-Nur refers to the global dominion and the system of the Mahdi.

There is terrible turmoil all over the world. People may be wondering, ‘How can Islam ever prevail and how can the system of the Mahdi ever make any headway under these conditions?’ But that is the really amazing thing, how God will bring about the reign of Islam despite all these things.

The blather of unbelief is so difficult that it is a trial in this world. It necessitates patience, that is for one. Secondly it necessitates attention. From which point that impertinent attitude is to be refuted should be investigated separately. These are not always from the same point of view, they all have to be proven with verses and then a rationale should be propounded.

Almighty God gives permission to the satan as a requisite of the trial in this world. With this wisdom, people are perfectly tested. The lower self matures in the struggle against the satan and it becomes perfect.

God tests us with a beautiful trial. Actually that is also a beautiful education. In the end maturity, kindness and a personality suitable for the morality of Heaven develop.

Something happens and we act patiently. But we also reinforce our patience phase by phase. What is this, then? This is education. An education for what? An education for Heaven. God chooses a handful of Muslims and educates them here. When they are directly put in Heaven, what happened to the Prophet Adam (pbuh) happens. It doesn't work that way, that is to say. With the education given the mind settles, the personality develops and one starts appreciating the blessings of God.

God tests people extensively. The trial in this world is not an ordinary trial. There is a weighty trial, a weighty education. This is not solely a trial; actually it is education, only the name of it is “trial”.

In the Qur'an, God says "We tested you with many trials" (Surah Ta ha; 40) to the Prophet Moses (pbuh). 'We have tested you,' God says. And then he (Prophet Moses (pbuh)) becomes a prophet with firm resolve. If the things he survived were ordinary things, he would have been an ordinary person. But since he has been tested extraordinarily, he became an extraordinary personality.

Materialists say, "If God exists, He should turn this world into Heaven. Why are there all those troubles and pains?" Look at the reasoning here. Haven't you come here to be tested? Since you are not here to have fun, since you are here to be tested, of course there will be pain and troubles. Of course there will be hardship. How are you going to be tested without those hardships?

Muslims become handsome with faith, they become beautiful with trial. If that trial is taken away, Muslims would be devastated, may God forbid. I mean if one does not come across any difficulties, that means they acquire no good merits. We came to this world to be tested; that is why Almighty God says, "Or did you suppose that you would enter the Garden without facing the same as those who came before you?"

Love is the purpose of the foundation of this world. Almighty God would not create the universe if it was not for love. He creates for love. Love is also the purpose of Heaven. Love is the purpose of the trial [of the life of this world] as well. What God wants from us is love.

Building a third bridge or a fourth bridge is not our problem. You might build bridges, but your enemy could still come and confiscate all your bridges, take away everything from you. You might work for 40 years yet they could come and seize everything you own. That is why the real danger that should be addressed is the danger of separation.
