Islam will prevail in the world once more with arts and science in the forefront. Only then Allah gives way to that, otherwise He does not.

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.

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.

When Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) appears as the spiritual leader of Muslims, his every word, every statement will bring radiance to the world. People will have the best of the words, the best of arts and aesthetics insha'Allah.

When the Unity of Islam is established there will be no need for military spending; so an amazing wealth will come about. There will be a great progress in culture, arts, science, industry and in all fields.

Allah tells us not to act harsh against the system of the Dajjal but to approach them gently with knowledge, science and compassion.

Quality is a very important matter in Islam; it is an important aspect of life. If you do not attach importance to quality, without the aesthetics, without beauty the world would have the appearance of Hell.

How could a grim, atrocious attack towards people's religion, faith and sacred values be named as art? Can performing art be a way for disturbing people, attempting to upset and irritate them, making them uneasy? That is a deficiency in decorum, that is a lack of culture and manners. It cannot be art.

A Muslim would be a man of peace, a man of love. One should keep love and peace; art and science constantly on the agenda, uninterruptedly.

The laws should be changed. Freedom of thought should be attained. There will be no science where there is no freedom of speech.

Darwinism is not science, it is a blind belief. It is a philosophy.

In the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) there will be a clear superiority in all fields; in science, in aesthetics, in economy. Everything will be in the highest level.

Some circles have pulled a trick -in their minds- by confining Muslims in a bigoted mindset; they have thus stripped Muslim off from everything that is beautiful such as art, music, aesthetics and quality. And we have spiked their guns.

Beautifying life, making it pleasant is the duty of a Muslim. Allah charges us to turn this world into Heaven. We will beautify the gardens, we will beautify people. We will beautify children. Houses will be well-kept, cars will be well-kept.

If shoddiness, filth and dirt are widespread in a country; arts, science, aesthetics and soul dies there. May Allah forbid. That is no good. For that reason, we should look for beauty and aesthetics to the fullest and we should beautify everywhere we go.

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.

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.

Some of our brothers imagine that Allah wants poverty and misery. Allah delays the global dominion of Islam because of that reason, because they do not give up this mindset.

The portents of the Last Day started to be seen intensely after the year 1980. The first major sign of the Last Day is the Mahdi (pbuh), the appearance of the Mahdi and the descent of the Jesus Messiah (pbuh), the appearance of Yajuj and Majuj, of Dabbat Al-Ardh and the Smoke.

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

Allah would not wrong His servants. Allah would not want Muslims to live in pain. Allah would not want women to live in pain. Allah loves women. Allah created them to be loved, not to be oppressed.

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.

Alawites are people who are madly in love with Allah, they are carried away with the love of Allah. They love human beings, they love animals, they love plants. Haji Bektash has a picture with a lion and a gazelle on his lap; that picture signifies love.
