Why did Allah have the Ottoman Empire established? Because they were very painstakingly following the Qur'an. There was no bigotry and they were full of love. Why did Allah give the Prophet Solomon (pbuh) a global dominion? Because in his time arts, aesthetics, science and love pervaded everywhere. People should think hard about this collapse and re-establishment.

They do not let women touch the Qur'an, they do not let them perform their prayers, they do not let them go out.. Stop oppressing women! You are to show love and respect to women, you are to treat them kindly. Just like you are, women are free as well.

Why did Allah overthrow the Ottoman Empire? Allah overthrew the Empire because the majority of the public stood against arts, aesthetics and science. The state was not against it but the majority of the public was. The state had palaces constructed, they decorated fountains but the great majority of the public were against science and arts. Bigoted mindset infested all around. Allah overthrew the Ottomans for that reason.

In the Qur'an, Allah says that our religion is as easy as the religion of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). Allah says; "Allah desires ease for you; He does not desire difficulty for you." Some people try to make religion difficult; they try to show things that are not in religion as if they are. Allah has made religion easy, He has relieved people of heavy loads and chains around them. Almighty Allah says this about our Prophet (saas) ".. those who follow the Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, whom they find written down with them in the Torah and the Gospel, commanding them to do right and forbidding them to do wrong, making good things halal for them and bad things haram for them, relieving them of their heavy loads and the chains which were around them. "

Religion is a magnificent structure in which welfare, love, beauty, peace, goodness, forgiveness, democracy, freedom of thought and the most sophisticated, most beautiful aspects of arts and science are displayed. Some people ensnarl religion and alienate people from religion unnecessarily. That is the way they serve the antichrist (dajjal).

What does the bigoted mindset do to make people alienate from religion? They complicate the religion. That is a very sly plot of the satan. When they complicate the religion even though it is really very easy, people start thinking that religion cannot be practiced and give up. Actually living by religion is really easy.

Scientific truths cannot be covered up with Darwinist superstitions.

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will administer the commands of Allah. He will resolve differences in religion. Hypocrites will find what Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) calls them to follow to be very hard for them. They will accuse the Mahdi (pbuh); with associating partners to Allah, with perversion and with being a profane. However Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be victorious, insha'Allah.

The superstitions told by bigots do not constitute the religion of Islam, they are the religion of idolatry.

When Darwinism is taught as a scientific fact instead of superstition in the text books, the existence of Allah would be rejected –May Allah forbid- thus faith would be annihilated. We look at the biology text books and see that there is nothing against Darwinism. That is not acceptable. The invalidity of Darwinism should be explained with scientific evidences.

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.

It is wrong to name people who are pro-violence as Muslims. Those who advocate the system of horror, the system of violence; they are idolaters. They are from a pagan religion. A Muslim would not do that. A Muslim would abide by the Qur’an.

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.

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.

IDOLATORS ARE ANTİ-MAHDİ. IDOLATORS DO NOT EMBRACE HAZRAT MAHDİ (AS). They all consider themselves as idols, may Allah forbid. They live separately, as if in the form of kings or duchy. That is to say, they do not accept a power over them. Consequently they never embrace Hazrat Mahdi (as) and Jesus Christ (as).

The essence of Islam is ultra-modern, the superstitions and life style of idolaters on the other hand are ultra-radical.

Radicals were the ones who caused the collapse of the Ottomans from the inside. At the moment we see that the radical mindset is ruining the Islamic world. With their repulsiveness, with their incoherent speeches they are making people hate them.

Turkey always follows a very rational, very reasonable policy. I mean Turkish government would never adopt an irrational attitude that would put a slur on our history. That is because in Turkey there is a state culture that comes from the Ottoman times; they do everything in consultation and act reasonably. Turkey would never do crazy things. Turkey is always dignified, sensible and reasonable. She would never adopt an immature attitude.

Radicals are complicating religion in the name of piety and assume the character of idolatry.

Returning to the times of Ottomans is never a possibility. I mean there is no policy to be called neo-Ottomans. There is only the policy of the system of the Mahdi. The system of the Mahdi is what we call the unity of the Islamic world. And the person to lead that unity is called the Mahdi. That will be made possible with the support of the Jesus Messiah.

In the Turkish-Ottoman tradition, when the state is undermined, it becomes unpredictably ravening. The state might remain silent in the face of many things but when it comes to undermining the state, it becomes ravening. No one should dare even to imagine dividing, undermining the Turkish state.

Even if the Last Day is to come tomorrow, we are charged with serving Islam.
