Muslims need the Mahdi system just as they need air and water. The Mahdi system is the essential belief spoken of in all religions that God mentions in the Qur’an.

In Kutub al-Sittah and all of the four sects of Islam, including the Shia as well as in Christianity and Judaism, there is a belief in the Mahdi. One who attempts to make the Mahdi system appear as problematic or unrealistic would be denying all these faiths and works.

The system of the Mahdi is openly explained in the verse 55 of Surat an-Nur. Surat al-Kahf explains the Mahdi system from beginning to end.

Bediuzzaman said that he was not the Mahdi and the Mahdi would come in Hijri 1400 after his passing. Those who claim that Bediuzzaman was the Mahdi are not telling the truth.

A person who reads the Qur’an understands the Mahdi system very clearly.

God shows us that the salvation of the whole Islamic world is in embracing the moral values of the Qur’an and uniting around a spiritual leader, that is to say, in the system of the Mahdi.

Our President Mr. Erdoğan is a man with a blessed cause and he has suffered through many ordeals. Those who attempt to come up with artificial heroes borrowing from the beauty he’s established with his efforts will not succeed.

When people forget God, God gives them troubles –sometimes little, sometimes more intense- to remind of Himself. God always brings people closer to Himself through different means. This is a beautiful blessing of God.

God doesn’t want people to forget about the transiency of the world. God shows people that this world is not created to simply survive with diseases and troubles they face. People learn about loving and being loved through troubles, ordeals and diseases. Without them people’s education wouldn’t be completed.

Believers are educated with hardships and troubles they come across. We could not advance any further and gain profundity without them. The hardships a believer experiences would be instrumental in the increase of his faith. The hardships one is given would be just as much as one could handle.

All hardships, all troubles are created with wisdom to bring goodness. No hardship could ever come about accidentally. Everything is created neatly, systematically and orderly in a timely manner.

Difficulties in life do not necessarily make life bad. This world is a place of trial. If people use their intelligence and good conscience, life would be like Heaven. Life would be best during the time of the Mahdi. Right now the reason why life seems bad and difficult is the system of the dajjal. Once the system of the dajjal collapses and the system of the Mahdi prevails, everything will be very beautiful, insha’Allah. Our brothers and sisters should pray for the appearance of the Mahdi.

People who are lazy for thinking would not be wise, would not be able to think deep. When that is the case, they lose their joy and happiness, they lose their reasoning and their ability to judge. Keenly preserving a constant, sharp closeness and attachment to God, constantly trusting in God would make one’s mind sharp and precise. People would then advance on a straightforward, steady path. But of course one would be tested while advancing on that straightforward path. Some people assume that they would not face any difficulty once they love God and put their trust in God. That would not be right. Loving God very much doesn’t mean removing all difficulties. Prophets live in the hardest of conditions. For instance, Hazrat Hamza loves God very much and God makes him a martyr, Hazrat Ali loves God very much but God makes him a martyr as well. Believers would most definitely be faced with difficulties, this is the condition of the trial.

God educates people in every second of their lives. It is not possible for people to be educated without hardships and ordeals. The education we receive in this world is perfect. We learn the morality that we will live by for all eternity with the training we receive in this world. This world is like a small container, in this small container the beautiful attributes one attains accumulate and that accumulated goodness would go on for all eternity. Bravery, altruism, patience, mercy accumulates here on people and in Heaven people would be praised, exulted and happy with that beauty they attained here in this world for all eternity.

Our brothers should approach God honestly without attitudinizing. One would see the Power of God instantly when one looks around sincerely. How could one trust his own parents if he is not able to trust in this Almighty Power Who has such great intelligence? Trusting your parents whom God has created but not trusting God is an evil disease. When people save themselves from this disease, a profound love is the blessing God bestows upon them. Trials and ordeals are all a part of this love. It is a pleasure to endure ordeals for one’s Beloved. God would not give any burden or ordeal that one cannot bear.

We are aware of the fact that Turkey is going through a very tough time. We are in the End Times, there are a lot of dissensions. These lands that we live on, the Middle East is the place that the intellectual struggle between the system of the Mahdi and the system of the dajjal takes place. Of course there will be difficulties, hardships and pain. After these hardships an amazing beauty will come about. Our Prophet (saas) too lived in a very difficult land and the sun of Islam has risen there. With the help of God, insha’Allah an amazing beauty will come about in Turkey as well.

A person who suffers and is educated with the hardships of this world as part of the trial gets great pleasure from Heaven. Otherwise one might not be able to fully appreciate the blessings bestowed upon them in Heaven.

The appearance of the Mahdi will take place in this century according to Islam, Christianity and Judaism. There is no other time besides this century.

It is the dajjal (antichrist) that aims at inciting enmity between Christians and Muslims to eliminate all the believers. No confrontation should exist between the Crescent and the Cross. On the contrary, devout Christians and Jews are our allies in the struggle against unbelief.

In every community, there exists evil people but those who are good are always friends and brothers. According to the Qur’an, it’s not acceptable to curse the entire Jewish-Christian community.

Safety precautions must be taken against attacks to synagogues and Jewish cemeteries in America and Europe. These attacks should not become common.

The Jews who raise money to rebuild the burned-down Texas mosque have displayed moral perfection.

The Jewish scripture informs us that the Mahdi will go through great sufferings and he will be patient in face of all troubles with love of God.

Just like we feel relief when we wake up from a dream, believers will be relieved when they die. The death of unbelievers, on the other hand, will be tormenting.

The life we see now is like a dream. The soul that is dreaming will enter into a sharper dimension of dream with death.
