The whole Europe would embrace the modern Islam as it was in the time of the Companions.

Our Prophet (saas) declared that the Muslims in the End Times will gather fifty times more merits than the Companions.

Radicalism is wreaking havoc in the Islamic world. The Ikhwan should strike an intellectual blow against this and bring forth the modern understanding of Islam, the understanding of the Companions of our Prophet (saas). That would be amazing.

Islam as lived by the Companions of our Prophet (saas) is very easy, very high quality, very upright and perfect.

We maintain Modern Islam, Islam as it was lived in the time of the Companions but we also want Orthodox Muslims, Orthodox Jews to live comfortably as well. It would be a grave pain to upset them.

Ronaldo would very lovingly embrace the understanding of Islam as we communicate, the understanding of Islam as lived in the time of the Companions of our Prophet (saas) .

The true Islam is that in the Qur’an, of which the way of the Mahdi speaks. It is what Rasulullah (saas) speaks of, the Islam of the time of the Companions. Without that, the way is open to bigotry.

The most beautiful solution against terror and anarchy is Islam as the Companions of our Prophet lived. This is the system that Christianity would be able live in comfort, this is the system that Judaism would be able to live in comfort.

The most influential, modern understanding of Islam, the understanding of Islam like it was in the time of the Companions, is explained by us clearly, openly and without any compromise. We are not temporizing anything; we are explaining everything directly and honestly, exactly as they are.

Discourses about the End Times and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) were the discourses the Companions of our Prophet (saas) loved the most. The Companions had an amazing admiration for the Mahdi.

God wants the final period to be like the time of the Companions of our Prophet (saas). God does not want a period of time in which women are oppressed, in which life lacks quality, arts, aesthetics and beauty.

When people are trained with Islam as lived in the time of Companions, with Islam as lived in the time of the Mahdi, not with radicalism, a breathtaking, helpful and good- natured people would be raised. That is why the system of the Mahdi is of such importance.

Almighty God gives a grandeur stemming from faith. That is a unique characteristic of Muslims. All the companions of our Prophet had grandeur; our Prophet, the Messenger of God (saas) had grandeur; our sheikh, our Sultan Sheikh Nazim Al-Qubrusi also has grandeur.

The Mahdi (pbuh) will bring about modernity, beauty, love, friendship and brotherhood; he will break the chains on Muslims. He will bring about the understanding of Islam as it was in the time of the Companions of our Prophet (pbuh). The world will become a place like Heaven. This will certainly happen, even if they try to prevent it. God will create this beautiful outcome with His Name, “Al-Jabbar”.

Our Prophet's (saas) power of faith exhilarates the companions. Having a person with deep faith among them is an amazing feeling. That is why people love sheikhs, sheikhs of religious orders deeply. They love them because they have strong faith; at least people see them as people of strong faith.

Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will come as the vizier of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), that is what our Prophet (saas) foretold. In order to honor the Mahdi, in order to emphasize his greatness, Almighty God sends Jesus Messiah as his vizier. The greatness of the Mahdi could be appreciated from that alone. He is the last guide. He is the greatest guide, the greatest Saint of all times. That is to say, imam Mahdi is superior to the Companions.

The Islamic world is groveling right now because of their superstitions; they are ruined because of that. Radicalism brings along timidity. When that is the case, the bravery and self-reliance of the companions is not formed.

Having a glorious, scary army is the Sunnah of our Prophet (saas). For instance, he didn't let the soldiers cut their mustaches short; they even grew their nails. The Companions of our Prophet (saas) had such a ravenous and scary appearance. They had handlebar moustaches reaching till the ends of their ears. Those who looked at them were shivering with fear, they feared them greatly. It would be great if our soldiers had such a staggering appearance. Especially regarding the PKK; our soldiers should be their nightmare.

It is of course very important to be at our Prophet (saas)'s elbow. It is a great comfort for the Companions of our Prophet (saas). Actually people do not know the Islamic community that well. Muslims are like a big family. If one has a mansion with thirty rooms for instance, he fills it will Muslims, the food is cooked for all of them. The goods are distributed. Trade is done together, everything is shared and done commonly. That is an unprecedented system.

Being called "crazy" shows the perfection of a Muslim's faith. Our prophet (saas) says, "A Muslim cannot attain perfection in faith unless he is called crazy." Actually, because of their loyalty to Islam, to the Qur'an, because of their enthusiasm, it is said, "If you had seen the Companions, you would have called them crazy." They distribute all they have, everything they own.

We are the radiant face of Islam for the whole world. When those who know Islam as a horrible, introverted, loveless system that has a grudge against women, that has turned life into a horror, see Islam as we live it, when they see Islam as it was lived at the time of the Companions, they feel an admiration for Islam. And they recognize that Islam is their salvation. Otherwise, they are all in misery.

If you run after the transient world, God would make it constantly run away from you and the world would then become a trouble for you. However, the world would become beautiful with self-sacrificing people. For instance, our Prophet (saas) was very altruistic and selfless. His companions were very altruistic and selfless. None of them were self-seeking. Societies with self-seeking people collapse.

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.

If you give fanaticism an inch, it takes a mile. It is very dangerous. The state must adopt a determined policy to spread modern thinking, a modern state structure and a modern conception of art. In other words, one must live by a modern Islam. What does modern mean? Like in the time of the Companions.

Companions of the Prophet (pbuh) had so much admiration for the Mahdi (pbuh). They asked much about him and our Prophet articulated in great detail.
