There is no harm in some scholars being recognized as the Mahdi by their students. Bediuzzaman says; "excessive good opinion has always been there, I did not interfere with that." There will be no harm in that, on the contrary, it will be beneficial in respect of their fervency and service to Muslims.

The appearance of fake Mahdi candidates is not a problem. It is unnecessary to see those people as a danger.

We name the person who will ensure the unity of Islam as the "Mahdi".

We are not saying that Mahdi "will" come; Mahdi has already come and is currently on his mission.

The world has always been saved with the coming of the saviors and has always gone into degeneration with the dajjals (antichrists). At the moment Muslims are suffering because they are leaderless.

The hadiths related with the End Times and the appearance of the Mahdi (pbuh) have been realized and thus they have attained certainty.

The system of the Mahdi is making progress while people say "Mahdi will not come".

Those who try to prevent the coming of the Mahdi (pbuh) increase the repute of the Mahdi (pbuh).

At the moment there are people who keep saying "Mahdi will not come! Mahdi will not come!" more intensely than ever in the history of the World.

There are some people who try to prevent the coming of the Mahdi and to whitewash it. Actually they should be the ones to ask for the Mahdi (pbuh). If the Mahdi (pbuh) does not come, the antichrist (dajjal) will. But Mahdi (pbuh) has come in the destiny and it is not possible to prevent his coming.

The antichrist(dajjal) struck people from love. It struck people from compassion and mercy. It darkened people's hearts and faces. It has extensively disrupted their appearances and their souls. Mahdi will correct this scourge of the Dajjal (antichrist) in a very short time like the rain of mercy insha'Allah.

Such days will come and women will be able to go as far as Damascus unaccompanied. There will be no communist attacks, no PKK attacks, no scoundrels' attack, no stabbed women, no shooting, no violence against women, no such ignominies, no such bullying; there will be nothing of that sort. Everyone will be brothers and sisters with each other and everyone will love each other. They will live in peace and security. These days are very near. I mean within 3-5 days everything will be changed insha'Allah. Keep up your efforts.

Allah would not wrong His servants. Allah would not want Muslims to live in pain. Allah would not want women to live in pain. Allah loves women. Allah created them to be loved, not to be oppressed.

They do not let women touch the Qur'an, they do not let them perform their prayers, they do not let them go out.. Stop oppressing women! You are to show love and respect to women, you are to treat them kindly. Just like you are, women are free as well.

Mahdi (pbuh) will work against more than thirty dajjals (antichrists). He also has enemies among djinns and they all strive against the Mahdi.

It is well known that the Sufyan dajjal (antichrist) will shed blood in Damascus. That is the last portent of the system of the Mahdi. The Sufyan will be defeated, that is in his destiny. That is the command of Allah. Allah has created it that way, insha'Allah.

Bigoted people demand a rude, aggressive, loveless, egoistic, selfish, jealous, filthy and ugly model for women; one that hates everyone. And that is a very repulsive model. No one would come near to such people. May Allah forbid, in such an environment, under such conditions Islam would not prevail.

Religion is a magnificent structure in which welfare, love, beauty, peace, goodness, forgiveness, democracy, freedom of thought and the most sophisticated, most beautiful aspects of arts and science are displayed. Some people ensnarl religion and alienate people from religion unnecessarily. That is the way they serve the antichrist (dajjal).

The addresses should be beautiful. Our brothers and sisters should avoid using slang. They should not speak unseemly words. Let them say beautiful words. Especially while addressing ladies slang language should never be used. That would be very atrocious and would not befit good morals and etiquette. Ladies are addressed in the kindest manner.

Without Ilm Al-Ladun (Hidden Knowledge) it is not possible to put forth a struggle and defeat the antichrist in the End Times. This knowledge of marvels, this Hidden Knowledge should be put in execution.

Antichrist cannot find a way against the Ilm al-Ladun [Hidden-Innate Knowledge]. That is to say the hidden knowledge would melt it down, just like salt melting in water. That is because the antichrist gives a struggle with superficial knowledge so it cannot stand against Hidden Knowledge. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is given the Hidden Knowledge. The superficial knowledge of the antichrist will be annihilated with the Hidden Knowledge of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). That is why Hazrat Mahdi opens all the doors and windows of the dajjal (antichrist) and enters its secret bastions. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) enters even those outlets that are believed to be out of bounds.

Shooting defenseless women is an utmost remorselessness, it is a treachery. If there is an offence, you judge it by law and jurisprudence. Hands should not be raised against women.

Ladies are beings that we think very high of and respect. While talking about them one should talk with admiration and respect.

Regarding ladies as odd creatures is a reflection of a crude culture.

Allah tells us that we will only be asked from the Qur'an in the Hereafter. There are many verses which state that the Qur'an is enough.
