God is the One Who creates radiance; He is the One Who creates beauty. It would be quite funny if one starts praising himself thinking he is handsome. God manifests Himself in that person and shows that to him. They are merely watching that manifestation of God. One should say, “O Lord how wonderfully You have manifested Your beauty!” Instead of saying, “How beautiful I am!” he should say, “How beautifully You create!”

All that God wills would be realized. The consequences of resisting God's Will would be catastrophic.

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.

One needs to think deeply about God's art of creation; both to learn and to enjoy. There is an amazing pleasure in this. That is because feeling that awe and astonishment is very pleasing. One needs to contemplate these matters, feel that astonishment and enjoy that feeling of astonishment and awe.

The power of the Creator is breath taking but only for those who look with the light of faith. Those who look at things with heedlessness would only struggle with the pain of daily events. They only trouble their minds with trivial things like whether or not they could eat their meals, whether or not they could sleep, whether or not they could prosper as they like, whether or not they are winning the competition they have with this or that person. They always concentrate on idle things.

When the mind concentrates on the Truth, it feels like "Alice in Wonderland." The curtain will be lifted and we thus enter the joyous world of our Creator that would leave us in awe. That is such a world that there is no end to it; it is endless. And every detail takes our breath away. We gaze through an art of God to another, from one beauty to another.

Plants, animals, they all have manifestations of God. For instance, you might think about them as simple plants but the chromosomes inside them have a breathtaking power.

The art of the Creator is one of the most pleasant blessings for man. To see a thing of beauty, to reflect upon that, to understand that blessing, is one of those blessings that give utmost joy to a person.

Almighty God does not want monotony, God definitely breaks down inertia. For instance if it is a mountain we are talking about, He turns it into a volcano, if it is a land we are talking about, He makes it restless with an earthquake, if it is a person He either makes him sick or makes him happy or takes his life; but one way or another Almighty God surely brings about dynamism. There is no inertia.

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will communicate the message of Islam in a wise, brief and pithily manner. Consequently he will resolve the problem of being suffocated in details for the ummah.

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will have concise knowledge. He will not be sucked into details like some certain scholars and suffocate in those details. He will get into the essence of everything and talk about the wisdom behind. He would thus be explaining everything briefly but to the point.

Sometimes God gives a rank to some people, gives them power, gives them means. You would not be a person of guidance if you say, "Why did God give him such a rank? Why did He give that person that easiness?" A person who -May God forbid - questions God would not be a person of guidance. One should say, "There is a goodness, a benevolence behind this. God knows but I don't."

The wisdom of the Qur'an is crucially important. One needs to concentrate on it. Or else you can read many verses in ten minutes if you like. You can read the Qur'an rapidly but the Qur'an is a Book that should be read in an orderly manner and by pondering upon it, by unveiling the wisdom of it step by step.

The Mahdi (pbuh) will not talk by engaging in demagoguery. He will speak briefly but to the point. He will make erudite, concise, influential, statements directed towards the essence of the topics at hand, covering all the important points and bringing exact solutions.

God is the One Who knows everything and He is the One Who establishes the commands. And God is Wise, there is wisdom in everything He does. Someone might say, "Something went terribly wrong." But that is not true, everything happens for a reason. Your mind might not conceive it yet and you might learn the wisdom behind it, either in this world or in the Hereafter, but there is certainly wisdom behind everything that happens.

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.

Passion cannot be imitated, Allah creates passion. Those who submit themselves to Allah feels passion. In real passion is presented to the other side for the good pleasure of Allah.

If the Mahdi (pbuh) does not explain the wisdom behind something, one should resign himself to that and harbor a good assumption about it.

God creates everything beautifully and on a plan. But one should constantly look for the wisdom behind it. If you do not see the wisdom, you would feel bored in this world. Your heart will be squeezed. But your heart will open up when you look to see that wisdom.

The whole issue is in submitting to God wholeheartedly and in loving God. Once you attain that, you would progress steadily on the right path. You might want to go faster, but God would not let you speed up. The system of the Mahdi is a system that progresses slowly. The followers of the Mahdi blossom out slowly as well. No matter how much they want it, no matter what they do, God makes them fill in that preordained time.

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.

One should always think good of God. Just like one always thinks good about the one he loves, he should also have an absolutely good opinion about God as well. When something happens, a Muslim says, “Almighty God has certainly created this as a blessing. Almighty God knows the best.”

The artistry of God is being very gloriously manifested in the human cell. If we could put a person inside a cell and let him live there for a week, his forehead would never stop prostrating. People have weak faith because they cannot see that properly, because they cannot see those worlds.
