Our Prophet (saas) did not call people to himself, but to the Qur'an. None of the prophets called people to themselves but rather, to the Books of God. For instance, the Prophet Moses (pbuh) called to the Torah, the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) called to the Gospel. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be calling people to the Qur'an as well.

God protects and nurtures Muslims. Sometimes Almighty God takes them to His Sight. Just like He took the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) to His Sight, just like He took the Prophet John (pbuh) and the Prophet Zechariah (pbuh) to His Sight as martyrs, but that would all be for the good of Muslims in any case.

Jesus Christ will be engaged in a clandestine activity. Mahdi (as) is out in the open but since Allah has covered and hid the Mahdi under 70 veils, no one can find him out until the last moment.

The most significant characteristic of Jesus Christ is his sharp-eyed façade. His eyes are like blades, looking very clever. He has grey eyes, not green, they are grey. His eye color takes after the Prophet Joseph.

No movement against the system of the Mahdi could ever be successful. Any movement that rejects the second coming of the prophet Jesus Messiah (pbuh) is bound to be defeated.

All the incidents take place as foretold in the hadiths. We will see Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and we will see the prophet Jesus Messiah as well. We will see the Islamic Union and we will all pass away after we do our duty. No one will remain here. The ones that remain the last will follow us as well, the world will be empty and then the Last Day will break loose.

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) has come. The Prophet Jesus Messiah (pbuh) has come, but has not yet become apparent. Almighty God is preparing their time of appearance, their time of becoming apparent. The events will reach inconceivable dimensions. Right now we are at a phase of the system of the Mahdi; I mean events will escalate to inconceivable dimensions in Syria, in Iraq, in the whole region. They will escalate immensely and much bigger incidents will take place. And after that, Almighty God will make His Mahdi apparent.

An incomprehensible violence, an incomprehensible savagery has engulfed the whole world. Imam Mahdi (pbuh) has to appear. May Almighty God make Jesus Messiah appear. May He make Imam Mahdi (pbuh) appear. The time for that is approaching. They won't appear in 2015 on in 2016. But 2017, 2019 to 2021, these are sensitive dates.

Some Muslims imagine that being against Christians' celebrations during Christmas that take place once a year is a great way of striving on the path of God. Instead of being false heroes on that day, they should preach religion all through the year and talk about Islam and preach the miracles of the Qur’an.

It is the week of holy birth until the Last Day. Holy Birth would not end. It will be celebrated every single day. We are celebrating it from morning till the night and we thank Allah from morning till the evening because He has sent such a beautiful Prophet (saas) to us, we thank Allah because He has sent such a radiant, such a sweet Prophet with such a superior morality.

Religion is the Qur'an. If you live by the Qur'an, then it is okay. Or else putting lights on pine trees and putting lights for one's garden and on streets would not contravene religion.

Drinking wine, rakı and whisky, being poisoned and wasted is not having fun. There is such a false culture of alcohol and that is a grave mistake. Alcohol is by no manner of means entertaining. It is a very harmful and very disruptive substance.

Perform your prayers five times a day, count beads all night long but have high quality. If you want to cover your head, do so, but do it in style and with quality. Using ugly wraps and cloths is unacceptable. Women used to cover themselves up in the Ottoman times as well but they were like amazing works of art. This was how women appeared before people, like flowers. That is nothing that would prevent being religious.

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.

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.

Any state lacking quality would collapse. Any state that oppresses women would be ruined. That is because half of all people are women. There will be no relief or comfort if women are oppressed there. God takes revenge.

Women should be free to wear what they like and live at ease all around the world. Any country that doesn't provide that freedom has been ruined. The countries in which women enjoy freedom become the most modern, most peaceful and most content countries of the world. Anything other than that is not possible. Let those wearing chadors wear it as they like, let those wearing veils wear it as they like, everyone should be free. Ladies should not be oppressed.

It would be very strange for a Muslim not to know anything about the Torah and the Gospels. God refers to the Torah and the Gospels in the Qur'an. It is not acceptable if you refer to them as if you are talking about a myth. They are living, current Books. You simply do not practice those corrupted passages.

Our Prophet (saas) was the most modern person of his time, the Prophet Abraham (pbuh) was the most modern person of his time. Some people imagine that struggling against modernity is a necessity of Islam. Satan deceives them and shows it as a wrongful path. Modernity is a blessing. Heaven is the most modern place the human mind can perceive of. Muslims should target modernity.

Love is in the forefront in Christianity. Muslims should read the Gospels. Not the parts that are corrupted but they should read those passages that are compatible with the Qur'an. Love is depicted in Gospels. There are also very beautiful passages in the Torah depicting love very nicely.

If you are hateful towards Israel, reject anything that is modern, live in filthy houses, if you are loveless and hateful towards Russians, Greeks, Iranians, Shias, Alawites, Wahhabis, if you keep dropping innuendos about everyone; then you would be falling in the clutches of satan. Don't you see the atrocious position you are in? These are all very wrong. Love is the only thing a Muslim knows, so you need to be full of love.

If we become Europeans, be enlightened and loving, if we hold women in high esteem, if it is seen that women are free in our country, if we attach importance to the arts, sciences, aesthetics, we would attain the highest quality. Anything other than that would cause our ruin.

We need to avoid a system that harbors the enemies of mankind and protects loveless people. We need to strengthen the people of love.

Societies attain happiness when women are happy. For women to be happy, they should be free and well-protected. Both the state and people should be protective of them, everyone should protect and watch over women and they should be treasured everywhere they go so that they could be happy and vivacious.

We need to be the most modern country in Europe. Ankara should be even better than Paris. Istanbul should be far more high quality than London. It should have incomparable quality. There should be decent, kind, companionable people of peace everywhere. Everyone, people from all walks of life, people from every political party should feel love for one another in coffeehouses and streets.
