When one is drowned in feelings of superiority, God prevents him from drawing closer to religion and takes away his mind.

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.

Feeling a sense of [unjustified] superiority causes snobbery and leads to impertinence. The tragic thing is that they become miserably senseless. For instance, they start lying swiftly and foolishly. They start talking irrationally, saying things that even the most foolish people wouldn't say. Such people have an astounding anarchy in their souls, an insane anarchy and they become prone to unbelief.

Humans have nothing to be arrogant about. You are a being, made up of flesh and bones and blood, you have natural needs, why is it that you put on airs? You are going to die eventually, why are you putting on an act? And life ends in a very short while. Every dead body bloats and explodes inside the grave. There is nothing for you to put on airs about; humans are piteous beings.

You are an ordinary piteous servant of God. Why do you put on airs? Where you go does not honor you. What is there in those places you go? Cement, iron, bricks, stone, wood, asphalt and there are also trees. Why would you be honored because of that?

In the Qur'an God says, ' , in spite of their own certainty about them.' They resisted their good conscience. Otherwise their good conscience demands the right choice and tells them to "do". But they crush it. That is why their faces are darkened. Or else when people do not resist their good conscience, when they listen to the stirrings of their conscience, their faces will be radiant.

One might be beautiful but arrogant and that beauty would not have any meaning. Beauty can also be an incitement. One might be young and beautiful but become mad with arrogance and vanity. You might see someone as ugly but that person could love madly and passionately. That person could then present a thousand times more beauty than those you call beautiful.

You would appear as a mad person when you boast, when you become haughty. That would be very repellent and you wouldn't be loved. When you boast, when you act haughtily you make yourself unlovable. Why do you boast? Why do you act haughtily? You do so, to make people love you, right? Actually it has the exact opposite effect and you lose all the love you have.

If a person is very egocentric, if he likes himself a lot, if he has an extreme air of haughtiness, all his body becomes egocentric. The whole body becomes his ego. His whole body becomes sick. I mean he becomes insane. That is what happened to Pharaoh, to Nimrod. They lost their sanity. When that is the case, satan settles in their body. They become unable to act rationally and in a balanced manner. They lose the ability to be reasonable.

May God give goodness to all of us, to all our people. May He give us peace, brotherhood, tranquility, ease, contentment and exhilaration. May God protect us from dissension, may God not set brothers against brothers. May our Lord settle the disputes among brothers and give Muslims the spirit of friendship, brotherhood and love. May God protect them from self-centeredness, arrogance, haughtiness and from greed for rank and position.

The common characteristic of all the hypocrites in the era of Our Prophet (pbuh) is that they consider themselves superior to Our Prophet and have a desire to stand out beside him. Be it men or women, hypocrites always aim to be the one on the top, to be the greatest. They consider themselves to be God, may God forbid.

Our Prophet (pbuh) says in the hadith, "Most of the hypocrites in my community are from among well-educated people." Knowledge leads them astray and into a desire to be apart from Muslims. Feeling a sense of superiority, hypocrites seek to abandon Muslims, thinking, "I am wiser and smarter."

In the era of Our Prophet (pbuh), the then- hypocrites pretended to be wiser than Our Prophet; as they believed themselves to be supposedly wiser, they talked in a patronizing manner. Hypocrites are insolent and disrespectful.

Hypocrites profess to be superior in this world. They become spoiled and go astray; however in the afterlife, in the Presence of God, they will have no strength left in them to act like a snob, a know-it-all, a pseudo-intellectual, a sneak.

Those who have a sickness in their hearts are proud, egocentric and arrogant. They regard the sense of superiority as a precious form of worship. However, they are not aware of the fact that they are doing it under the influence of satan. They cannot realize their evil actions.

God belittles those who think highly of themselves, and dignifies those who show humility. Egocentricity and delusions of grandeur are not befitting of believers.

Some people assume themselves to be superior to the general public. Without being aware of their weaknesses, they put on airs. Those who in their own minds feel a sense of superiority over Muslims and consider them to be potential criminal acts based on the philosophy of British Deep State.

Satan is a maniac that has reached the highest point of snobbery, apathy and romanticism. Such maniacs can also be observed among society.

Some say, "What was there before God?" Since you are talking about what is before and what is after, it is apparent that you are bound to time. God is timeless. How can you ask what is before and what is after, when He is timeless. God is beyond time and space. When there is timelessness, you cannot ask what was before? God exists timelessly. We are created as beings bound to time.

It is better for us to come across fierce communists, anarchist-Stalinists or devout Jewish people with their kippahs and ringlets, with the Torah in their hands invoking the Name of God night and day, when we go to Israel? Of course it is better to see those who invoke God. That is a great blessing. And they are showing an immense loyalty towards the Prophet Moses (pbuh) for four thousand years.

The AKP and the MHP should form the government and come to power. They should give the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the MHP and should make a brave young man the Minister of Internal Affairs. Then eradicate the PKK with the legal system. This is the most crucial point.

The Greater Middle East Initiative is a project sketched to destroy the system of the Mahdi. What does the system of the Mahdi demand? It demands the Islamic world to be in unity. What does the Greater Middle East initiative demand? It demands that Islamic world be torn to pieces. Ever since the beginning, their goal is to tear Turkey into pieces, tear Iraq and Syria into pieces.

It is religiously unlawful to factionalize. It is religiously unlawful to divide Muslims into factions. One should love each and every single one of them. You might vote for a party; that is something else, but God has prohibited us to be in factions. There is an explicit command to that extend. The verse directly mentions factionalizing. Of course we should support all Muslims.

There is a symbol of a "deadlock" in Freemasonry. That is a five-thousand year old symbol used to symbolize that the world will come to a deadlock and that Mahdi (pbuh) will be the one to solve that deadlock.

Struggling against the PKK is an individual duty, a fardh al-'ayn for every Muslim. No one could say, "what's it to me?" God says that Muslims, when an oppressive wrong is inflicted on them, are not cowed but help and defend themselves. It is an individual duty on all Muslims to struggle against the PKK. Anything other than that would be religiously unlawful. If Muslims do not struggle against the PKK, they would be religiously unlawful. That is because the PKK is a movement of the antichrist attacking our Muslim Kurdish brothers.
