WEAKNESS OF FAITH IS THE SCOURGE OF THE WORLD. Since when? Since Prophet Adam (as). People are always put to the test with weakness of faith.

AS LONG AS A PERSON MAKES EFFORT AND USES HİS MİND ALLAH GRANTS HİM FAİTH. Still, what is predestined comes about but that person feels as if he labors to attain something. The faith that comes into being following it becomes very precious.

IF ONE HAS A PROFOUND LOVE FOR ALLAH IN ONE’S HEART, THAT IS WHAT WE CALL FAITH. If you tell someone whose faith has not yet been perfected that this and that and the other thing are prohibited, you are actually doing harm, and it is of no use. One must first bring someone to belief through the signs leading to faith.

If there are one hundred proofs against and one proof in favor of faith, then faith is what is commanded.

THE BODY IS TORN MOSTLY BECAUSE OF FORGETTING ALLAH. THE BODY SUFFERS A LOT. The body pulls itself together by sleeping. It recovers from that enormous destruction only by sleeping.

WEAKNESS OF FAITH, FORGETTING ALLAH CAUSES ENORMOUS DESTRUCTION TO THE BODY. THE BODY IS DEVASTATED. That poor body collects itself only by sleeping for seven or eight hours.

FIRST OF ALL THE MATERIALIST, DARWINIST SYSTEM OF IDOLS MUST BE REMOVED BY LOGIC, WISDOM, PHILOSOPHY. Just as how we do. The signs leading to faith must be taught. People’s faith must be reinforced. The signs leading to faith must be explained. IT MUST BE ENGRAVED IN HEARTS THAT THE QUR’AN IS JUST. Then the provisions of the Qur’an must be offered to them in a rational manner as it stated in the Qur’an.

EVERYTHING BECOMES VERY BEAUTIFUL, VERY PRECIOUS WITH FAITH. Then you respect a person and attach value to him, for love and compassion disappears when a person grasps that he is not respected.

Once a person believes, his prostitution comes to an end. This is not a stain that never disappears on him. Once he has faith, embraces the Qur’an and faith and repents, that issue becomes over. He becomes a pure Muslim. This is not something that he can never get rid of for a lifetime.

Is there a problem of jurisprudence or weakness of faith? The weakness of faith. This is the problem of the entire world.

Allah creates human beings as cruel and ignorant. That is why people look at others and make errors. They say, “That person has no faith, the other is an imposter and the other is abnormal. In the verse Allah says that the majority of people do not have faith, and those who have faith ascribe partners to Allah. This is the provision of Allah. There is nothing to be astonished with it.

It is important to have a good grasp of Allah. People want to learn how to pray or how to take ablution first. But first, do you believe in Allah? You could simply shut yourself up and stand up and it would not be a prayer. First you need to have faith. Praying would not be a real prayer before having faith. Faith is essential, not the prayer. Almighty Allah always mentions faith.

Allah created us in such a way that we can find Allah with ease when we do not place unnecessary constraints or limitations upon ourselves. We are created in a way to surrender ourselves fully to Allah.

IF A PERSON FINDS FAITH TO BE DIFFICULT, THEN SATAN HARASSES HIM. FAITH IS QUITE EASY. A person only needs to leave himself to his natural state. He will leave his brain, spirit and mind to its natural state. IN HIS NATURAL STATE A PERSON GETS IN TOUCH WITH ALLAH. A PERSON CAN NOT GET IN TOUCH WITH ALLAH BECAUSE HE ASSUMES AN ATTITUDE IN WHICH HE SIDES WITH SATAN.

In the entire world Hazrat Mahdi (as) becomes the one who has most faith in Allah.

There are so many scholars who have tremendous knowledge but have no faith. In the absence of faith, Allah compares them in the Qur’an to “donkeys loaded with books”. But the fact is however those people could be Mahdis with so much knowledge; but when they have no faith, they become paralyzed.

Once we lose faith, all those nervous breakdowns, physical disorders start. As faith is lost, a body becomes so devastated. Weakness of faith makes a person go nuts. As faith becomes more profound, he becomes more healthy, beautiful and good and his heart opens up, he feels relieved.

The images showing that people do not submit to Allah are miraculous. They are signs leading to faith. I am not talking about only examining the life of ants or analyzing the hour; one needs to examine how people tend to this life. This is a great sign leading to faith.

When there is a weakness in faith, Allah scorches the world and does not give happiness. That was the reason for the collapse of the Ottomans, that was also the reason for the collapse of Seljuk Sultanate. When a bigoted structure develops, when a conservative structure develops, when arts, science, love decreases, when people become estranged from the spirit of the Qur'an, disasters assuredly follows.

Because of their weakness in faith, some people attempt to cover up the system of the Mahdi in their own minds. A Muslim would be cheerful, wise, sincere and natural. He would not adopt special manners.

Bigots have weakness in their beliefs. They do not attach that much importance to faith. They are after a romantic understanding of faith; a sentimental way of faith. They have an understanding of faith that can hardly be called faith. I mean they do not aim for high, profound faith.

The culture, knowledge, faith and reasoning of bigots are not in a way that could reinforce the faith of the people they come across or that could be instrumental to their faith. Their way of talking is very superficial. In general they almost never get into faith related matters.

What a beautiful environment of trial Allah has created. Allah veils Himself to the people with weak faith, and opens and shows Himself even further to strong people. Faith then becomes precious, it becomes even more beautiful. That is because you find Him by searching, you give make effort to that end.

Profound faith is the greatest comfort in the world. Profound faith should be asked for from Allah. In weakness of faith a person goes to bed in pain and wakes up in pain. Such a person wakes up devastated. Even their dreams, their eating and drinking, their waking up are all troublesome and unsettling. May Allah forbid.

All excesses and extremes will disappear through following the Mahdi (pbuh) because no arrogant person will remain. Everyone will be devoted to one person. All the little pharaohs will disappear, in other words. Only the Mahdi (pbuh) will remain.
