One should love a flower, a mother, a cat, a woman as a manifestation of God. One should love nice scents, horses, every animal and everything as a manifestation of God. If one loves them only physically, it becomes the love of the flesh; and flesh has no lovable side to it.

Humans are frail creatures; as a creature made of flesh and bone, the human has no lovable side to it. It becomes lovable only as a manifestation of God. What is there to love about the flesh? It is only an organic material. Flesh, fat, bone, blood; they are petty things. What we love is the manifestation of God.

As science has progressed, the miracles of God's art of creation became apparent. Everything in existence was only known superficially, as much as their external appearances allowed. When the gates to the inner universe [of living beings] opened, there came out an immense world. We have encountered miracles two million times the number of the visible ones.

My books that banish radicalism, that sincerely explain faith, intellectually help save people from the effect of the Antichrist.

Strong faith is vital for a Muslim to persist in determination. That may be attained by thinking how one would act if brought near hellfire.

Love always deepens with faith. Love doesn’t change with illness, depravity or any physical changes.

Love is called so when it is felt towards God. Love occurs only when one seeks the highest approval of God. Otherwise, it does not exist. It only becomes technical cooperation.

People should be taught about loving people for God’s consent. In its absence, people keep looking for someone who is richer or more attractive.

Even a single sign leading to faith should astonish the entire world. May God grant us the blessing of having a good grasp of His artistry.

Having a weak sense of attention and appreciation in the face of shocking and stunning information shows how incapable the human mind and soul are. The willpower falls short. Otherwise, normally people should feel quite amazed, astonished. The only cure for this weakness is prayer.

There would be no trial in this world if people who have no faith, mock religion, and are against Islam did not exist. God creates such people even if they do not exist in the first place. They have to exist so that believers can be compared to them, so that their trial gains meaning through them.

People gain beauty through faith; faith renders both men and women more beautiful. One loves another because of their wisdom, piety, cleanliness, and profoundness.

Piety is what is essential. The notion that the believers are pleasant people stems from faith; this is why believers love other believers dearly. This why God makes the believers seem pleasant.

What would happen in the absence of faith? Everything would lose its worth, its meaning. Faith bestows people with grandeur and beauty. God brings forth love through faith.

People are adrift in a sea of habituation. In order to dispose of this affliction, they must get out of the sea of habituation and begin to use their reasoning and foresight. If they did so, they would have a tremendous faith when they realize the miracle hidden within a cell. Their faith would match those of the prophets. But people suffer from a lack of foresight.

The universe is full of miracles. The believers should pray to God to be able to keep all these miracles in their mind. They should pray to be able to feel the excitement and amazement of how magnificent these miracles are. And they should ask from God the capacity to offer the appreciation they feel in the face of such knowledge to God.

History does not repeat itself. The system always progresses and gives rise to innovations; it undergoes a change in every cycle. When people try to repeat their past deeds through a romantic historical conception, it will only lead to their ruin, their defeat. We live in the era of science, knowledge, love and piety. Victory can only be achieved through love and piety. There is no other way.

In paradise, the heart will exist only to feel the excitement of love.

Love is important. Many people do not live with a loving heart but live instead with incredible anger. They fall out over the most trivial things. Disagreement is one thing, but seeking revenge is outrageous.

Knowledge without love leads people to their ruin. Love is life.

Knowledge might turn people towards violence. For example, they might become communists, Stalinists, terrorists. However, this is not the case for love; love is what makes us human. With love comes the fear and the love of God, the love towards others. When knowledge is combined with love, it gives rise to something magnificent.

The period of the system of Mahdi is a long one. The reason this period will be as long as 40 years is so that it possesses a great spiritual merit. Otherwise, God could establish the reign of Islam in one year if He wished so. However, the believers would earn one year’s worth of spiritual merit in that case. God extended the period of the system of Mahdi to 40 years so that it has great spiritual merit.

Since artists are not appreciated as much as they deserve, there are few artists around the world. However, painters and sculptors should be held in high esteem and such occupations should be regarded distinguished. They should be appreciated everywhere.

Healthy nutrition and exercise alone do not make a person healthy; having faith and fear of God is also essential. Both physical and spiritual measures must be taken. If people lack fear and love of God; eating and drinking a lot will not do them any good.

God will make the Mahdi visible. No one has the power to stop the Mahdi. God will never help those who are against him.
