The core of the system of the Mahdi is wisdom and sincerity. Literary or fancy talks would be like singing a song and would have no true impact on people.

One only serves the system of the Mahdi and cannot claim to be the Mahdi. Look carefully into the course of history and you will see that they all ended up defeated. But God has always opened the way for all those who stepped forth claiming to be in the service of the system of the Mahdi and made them all elated.

All of the artificial movements regarding the system of the Mahdi are doomed to collapse. That is because it means mocking the system of the Mahdi. God is the One Who gives one the lead. All the false Mahdi candidates end up defeated.

The system of the Mahdi is not a claim but a demonstration. Islam prevails in the world and an individual takes the lead of the Islamic world. We can then think that he is the Mahdi (pbuh), God knows the truth and that is all (we can do). We cannot enunciate it either, we can only say, "God knows the truth, he might be the one."

Some people imagine that having fun would draw the Wrath of God. Actually not being loved, being forgotten, ungratefulness and a lack of love draw the Wrath of God.

God says, “I am the Eternal Power Who deserves to be loved. I am the One Who creates all love and all those you love. Their images belong to Me as well. So do not ascribe partners to Me and love Me." And that is what is right.

God loves those who love Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). God makes those who hold on to the system of the Mahdi happy. There is a blessing in the system of the Mahdi.

It is religiously unlawful to resist the Islamic Union. It is a religious obligation for Muslims to select a leader. Every delay causes the sin that falls upon one to increase in folds. Muslims become responsible for every person killed, for every inoffensive Muslim suffering. That is because they persistently reject the Islamic Union, they persistently assume an attitude against the system of the Mahdi. As they assume such an attitude against the system of the Mahdi, the murders, the deaths, are all increasing in folds.

One cannot have a beautiful morality simply by saying, 'Let me have good morality.' Good morality can only be attained by fearing God, by loving God. Otherwise one would not be generous. He would feel pain inside when he gives something to someone. Forgiving would make him enraged. Without faith, without the fear of God, forgiving becomes very unnerving.

If you believe in God, it would be cruel not to wake up for the morning prayer. That is because you promise God and say that you love God, that you appreciate His blessings on you and that you are thankful to Him. But then you say, "I do not want to thank You!" How is that acceptable?

When one invokes the name of God, feels love for God, his heart would feel relieved. That is what a Muslim lives, that is what we see. Muslims really are very happy and healthy. We look at their faces and see that they are radiant and in peace, and that their hearts are at ease. They feel the joy of being with God forever.

What is perfect morality? It is patience, compassion, self-sacrifice, honesty, bravery and loyalty. Without fear of God, one would fall into heedlessness. For instance, one might say that he loves God but not perform prayers, saying, "I love God, God doesn't need my prayers." He might have a lot of money but not give alms, saying, "Those in need can find it elsewhere. I do love God and money makes me happy, it helps me be close to God." Or perhaps, one does not act bravely, saying, "I should not risk my life, I am living nicely here." But in fear of God one shows courage.

Nobody can stand against the system of Mahdi despite that there only a small group of people working for it and a large group of people, primarily involving the shadow states, the bigots, the polytheists, the hypocrites, opposing it. This is a miraculous aspect of the system of Mahdi. The Mahdi and his followers are invincible; they are not destined to be defeated.

In the time of our Prophet, the families of the Companions did not want them to see our Prophet (saas); they made incredible pressure. In the time of the People of the Cave, the families of young people, their relatives and the majority of people were against religion and they put pressure on their children. Likewise, in the time of the Mahdi (pbuh) young people will follow the Mahdi despite their families’ and society’s pressure.

Our Prophet (saas) explained that at the time of the Mahdi (pbuh), a selfish, hateful character would be prevalent and people would stay away from the Mahdi. In fact, some people have no qualms about befriending immoral people, but choose to stay away from the students of the Mahdi, who are among the greatest.

Adhesions to the system of the Mahdi in a calm, covert environment are much more eligible. For instance, there had been groups adhering to our Prophet (saas) but the good deeds they will attain for doing so is much less. The first ones to pledge allegiance are very eligible. The first 313 people, like the number of the companions who fought in the Battle of Badr, they are very important.

Very rare, elect people, those who are specifically been inspired by God, those who are taken into a deep sleep approach the Mahdi (pbuh). Just like the People of the Cave. Such a person would not be able to go anywhere even if he wants to, because it is in his destiny. The will of a genuine student of the Mahdi would not be able to leave him. But the other ones cannot become his students even if they want to.

Those following the Mahdi, those who are God-fearing are the students of the Mahdi (pbuh) and - God willing- they are the people of Heaven. Our Prophet (saas) refers to those 313 students as the center.

When Almighty God creates a detail, when He creates something with His wisdom, a Muslim would say, “We might not have a full understanding of God’s wisdom but He knows everything about us. We’ve submitted ourselves to Him.”

People have a tendency to see themselves as the bee's knees in their own minds; actually, the fact is this world is only as big as a chickpea when you look at it from the space. If you go even farther then you will see that it is like a mote of dust. If you go even farther it will disappear and it won’t be seen at all. What is important is to submit to Almighty God and to live as He commands.

Diseases help people surrender and get closer to God.

The only secret to success is to take refuge in God, to trust in God and to surrender to God.

They [some people] don't understand God’s laws; that’s why they are so worried about everything. They think that every object, every being in the world is independently capable. They wrongly think that cars, houses, medications, in short everything has a power that is independent from God. That’s why they are continuously suffering, continuously in pain. If they comprehended that there is only one God and only God has power, if they surrendered to God, they would have lived very comfortably.

For passion to be real, one should submit to Allah completely. Even if one says that it can be done anyway, that is not the case. It would not be passion. Allah creates passion; passion is felt by those who submit to Allah completely. That is a blessing, a beauty bestowed upon them by Allah. I mean that is not something that can be attained with money, means and fame.

Neither the Last Day nor death would have any aspect that would make Muslims uneasy. It would offend God if Muslims think that they would be persecuted or suffer somehow. That is because God says, "Trust Me, if you are good no harm would ever touch you." Muslims should always think good and well about God.
