The whole world is in misery right now because of their stinginess. There are a handful of wealthy people and they constitute, let us say, 1% of the world's population and the other 99% is in poverty. As the manifestation of the Qur'anic verses, the whole world is in misery. If they give up that tight-fisted attitude, the whole world would become rich.

There is no time in outer space. Time is a perception and a form of belief that is formed in the brain by making a comparison between one moment and the other. It is a product of the brain; it is a belief. They imagine that there is time outside. There is but one moment, and in that moment everything has happened within that moment. Everything is over and done with in that moment. This is how God creates.

God is the One Who directly creates music. Is it music what comes to your ears? No, it is not: It is merely sound waves. The waves come to one's ears but it is not the ear that hears; ears are deaf. They simply transmit the sound waves; they transmit the waves as electricity and the brain listens to those sound waves as music. There is no music; see that there is no music until it reaches the brain. There is no music in the place music is played. It is really weird that there is no music outside; there is no music outside the brain.

Since the system that organizes poverty in the world will be ended at the time of the Mahdi, there will be no more organized poverty in the world. That is because poverty is obtained in an organized manner right now.

There is a worldwide special organization for poverty. This is attained with the support of the notables of great states, famous capitalists and many central banks.

There is a specifically attained great lobby of poverty. Mahdi (pbuh) will clear away this poverty lobby, this system that organizes poverty. At that time, the world will become wealthy on its own automatically. But that will be the last wealth of the world.

The lobby of poverty is under the control of the system of the Antichrist. The Antichrist has been using this system specifically to crush people. It crushes villagers and the workers. It is a special system: It causes pain, it commits murders, it sheds blood. The system of the Antichrist, the system of the satan feeds on that pain. But the system of the Mahdi will stop the bloodshed, stop the pain and solves poverty.

There is a lobby for poverty in the world. They are keeping the whole world in poverty by means of a special system. That is a system that has been working unfalteringly for 100 - 150 years. Only at the time of the Ottoman Empire that system did not work; they could not order the Ottomans around.

Wealth that comes with faith and with love of God is very nice. Only then one becomes generous, only then one becomes friendly and spends his wealth on children, on people. One would then earn plenty but also spend plenty. Right now there is neither earning plenty nor spending plenty. There is poverty everywhere.

God makes the whole world grovel, the whole world is in a wretched state right now. And that is created specifically. There is no real reason for this world to be poor. There are vast lands. It is possible to carry out all sorts of agricultural activities. There is technology, there is everything. Amazingly, God creates economic crises and famines. There is no real reason for those. They are created miraculously. That is because people forget God. Had they praised God and invoked His Name, riches would have flowed all over them profusely.

One says, "These are my goods, my possessions." The fact is however that one has nothing to own, no possessions to lay claim to and everything belongs to God. We are only sent here as guardians for that which actually belongs to God.

It is not the municipality that builds the highways; God is the One Who builds them. Those roads are inside our minds. You see those roads inside your brain. When you get into your car, you see continuous images of the road inside your brain. Who then created those roads? God created all of them. That is a scientific fact.

Almighty God creates life in a state of sleep; the Qur'an refers to this deep secret. People do not know that they are in a state of sleep in this world. Actually, they all are in a dream right now, they all are dreaming. Some of them, for instance philosophy researchers, realize this fact in a state of awe and dismay.

Shadow and light are created separately. That is because light is created inside the brain. There is no light outside. There is no color outside either. Light is created inside one's brain. It is pitch black outside. Consequently there is no shadow outside. There is no shadow if there is no light. That means shadows are created separately inside the brain. God says that He creates them both separately.

Sound comes into existence from material inside the brain that doesn't exist. There is no sound outside. But out of material, sound comes into existence, light comes into existence; inside the brain, that doesn't exist. There is nothing to be called taste outside. Taste is formed inside the brain. But this is not the brain made up of flesh; it is the brain that is comprised of radiance. We are thinking and talking with the brain made up of radiance.

All the riches escape with an immense speed from those who lack faith, from those who are weak in faith. The world constantly escapes from such people. They madly chase after worldly means and while they do so, a devastating pain settles in their souls. However, that is not what happens for a sincere Muslim. The worldly means and goods rain down on him. He escapes from goods and worldly goals but the world catches up with him and gushes over him.

God gives you a three dimensional image and you view it inside your brain; He gives you the ability to smell beautiful scents so that you smell them; He gives you the ability of tasting so that you find pleasure in those tastes; He gives you the sense of touch so that you touch, you swim in the sea, you go boating, you enjoy the world to the utmost; but when it comes to the Creator, you say, "I do not want to be the object of this." God would then plague you. This world is not a place of entertainment.

The electrical stimuli occurring in the brain when the strings of a violin vibrate is perceived of as music by the soul that finds delight in it. Many people are not aware of the reality of this world. There is no color, light or sound outside. The soul sees a colorful world with no eyes.

The possessions and blessings one is given in this world will remain behind when death comes. Only God and His heaven will remain eternally.

Many people have an ambition to hoard materials because of their fear of future. This is an attitude God doesn’t like and that doesn’t befit a believer’s trust in God.

God wants goods to be constantly used in His path, not be accumulated and hoarded. That causes scarcity and economic crisis.

Muslims demand wealth to use it in their endeavors on the Path of God, to do things that will grant them the approval of God. Otherwise, wealth would become a scourge for the concerned people.

God commands us to distribute wealth among those in need and not to let it circulate among a certain wealthy class.

God commanded us to spend money, property and wealth for good causes and not to hoard it.

Radicals see Islam as unsavory in their own minds. Actually joy and happiness is Islam; Islam is a beauty. But these people consider joy and happiness as unsavory. That makes it a sort of the spirit of unbelievers.
