The Prophet Solomon (pbuh) is the forefather of the Mahdi (pbuh). Hazrat Mahdi will be very much like the Prophet Solomon (pbuh). Mahdi (pbuh) will also love arts, beauty and glory a lot. He will adorn the world. Our Prophet (saas) says that he will prosper the whole world, for Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).

Islam will appear in the face of this world as an utterly modern, joyous, healthy system, open to science and arts, open to beauty and aesthetics. It will appear like Heaven. Islam will not be an environment full of filth and darkness, causing people to suffer, hanging people, chopping people up, far removed from aesthetics; it will not be an environment in which filthy people are living. God would not harm Islam like that and will not let Muslims harm Islam like that.

Quality and aesthetics are the most important topics. They are what embellishes, what beautifies life.

People like wealth, power and ruler-ship. Beautiful women, beautiful cars, beautiful music, beautiful clothes all have a very powerful impact on people's lowerselves. If you communicate religion by making use of those within reasonable, legitimate limits, you would make religion enter life and thus Islam would reach the great masses of people.

They have misrepresented Islam as ugly and frightening. They have misrepresented it as a system of violence, as a hellish movement. They have misrepresented Muslims as killing machines, as fond of massacres, and thus caused people to take a great dislike to Islam. The fact of the matter is, however, that Islam means beauty, aesthetics, arts, reason, knowledge, culture, understanding, goodness and sincerity.

Heaven is immaculately clean. There are paintings in Heaven, there is music, there is beauty. All the women are very well kept and well-groomed in Heaven. Turn this world you are living in into Heaven on Earth; why do you have to turn it into hell? God wants us to turn this world into Heaven with our faith, with our intelligence, with our efforts.

Leaving an artist to his own means during his difficulties is a lack of good conscience. First of all, an artist should not struggle to make a living. They should be provided a perfect life. The state has many means, so these means should be at their disposal so that they can comfortably perform their art. If you force them into a life struggling to make a living, how could they perform? How could they perform under these conditions?

Sincerity is an immense comfort. Sincerity makes one beautiful. Those who are sincere know what love is. Those who are not sincere are crooks; they are evil.

Artists should be given prominence. Their love, their affection, would have a positive impact on society. Artists have a special kindness, they have a special quality of the soul. They could be a very nice example for society in that respect.

Love, beauty and art are the goals of life: Without them why would you ever bother to build bridges, why would you bother building tube tunnels from the land or under the sea? All those things would be vain. For love to exist, art and aesthetics nurturing love should be attached great importance.

Artists are teachers of love, teachers of beauty. The door should be opened all the way for artists. A Ministry of Arts and Aesthetics should be established.

If you have a beautiful mind and a beautiful conscience, God would bring a beautiful person into your destiny. Why did God bring about that much beauty for the Prophet Solomon (pbuh). The Prophet Solomon (pbuh) did not attain those beauties by striving and by working for it. God gave them to him because of his piety.

Prophet Solomon (pbuh) has a very intense, constant and very rational connection with God. That is very important: He never forgets God, not even for one minute and not for one second.

The government should protect and watch over the rights of women, freedom, democracy, music, arts and everything that is beautiful. The government should look out for quality and aesthetics and state that "these are the characteristics of the Turkish Nation."

God describes the system of the Mahdi in a veiled manner in the Qur’an. He describes it in Surat al-Kahf, in the story of Solomon and in Surah Yusuf, but in veiled language.

The Prophet Solomon (pbuh) did not go after blessings, he ran away from them and they followed him. The Prophet Joseph (pbuh) ran away from blessings and blessings followed him. I have always run away from blessings all my life. God always sent blessings to my side. Alhamdulillah.

According to Jewish sources, the Mahdi (pbuh) will resemble the Prophet Moses (pbuh) the most in terms of disposition; and the Prophet Solomon (pbuh) in terms of humorousness.

Muslims always face beautiful things after their deaths. There would be no difficulties, no pain, no fear for them; they won't face such feelings in any stage. Everything goes smoothly for them. They will never face any kind of distress while their souls are taken, while they arise from death, while they enter Heaven.

One should focus on Heaven and grasp it well. One should strengthen his faith. A Muslim should have that knowledge fully settled in his mind. It should not remain as blurred information. A Muslim should know everything told about Heaven in the Qur'an, he should know all of the verses.

Why are stories in the Qur'an told? For everyone to take the moral of the story. They are not told simply as stories. They hold light to an event that will take place. In the stories of the Qur'an, the incidents that will take place in the future are told with symbols. For instance, Surah Yusuf is the explanation of the system of the Mahdi with symbols.

God is the One Who knows everything and He is the One Who establishes the commands. And God is Wise, there is wisdom in everything He does. Someone might say, "Something went terribly wrong." But that is not true, everything happens for a reason. Your mind might not conceive it yet and you might learn the wisdom behind it, either in this world or in the Hereafter, but there is certainly wisdom behind everything that happens.

If one displays egocentricity, people become really vicious against him. That is why modesty is like an armor. Egocentricity on the other hand is a disease that increases aggression and attracts troubles.

Muslims do not have the unity the PKK has among them. They do not even have one tenth of their solidarity. For instance, they live inside a cave on a three thousand meter high mountain. If you ask a Muslim to go live in a cave, very few Muslims would ever accept it. If you ask them to put their lives on the line, they would probably say ,"I have a family, I have my wife, I am supposed to advance in life, I will have my child " and would never put their lives on the line. But see that the PKK militants do put their lives on the line. That is why God gives them success, even if they are in disbelief, simply because they are determined.

God gives time to unbelievers and then knocks them down because they go astray. The lifespan of unbelief is about 40 years and the PKK is about to fulfill this 40 years.

Idolaters sometimes present themselves as if they are about to do something good but they are treacherous. You should not believe the face an idolater displays. The good behavior he displays in front of you, or the speeches he gives and his words, are not valid. Their insidious and covert maniacal world is the truth. The Qur'an draws attention to this fact.
