How will the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) meet up with Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) when he returns to earth?

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated July 31th, 2014

- You had a dream of the Prophet Jesus?

Adnan Oktar: Yes, I did. I do not usually dream much. I dreamed of Bediuzzaman one time. I have never dreamed of the Messenger of God (pbuh), but I hope that God will permit me to do so, insha’Allah.

I dreamed of Jesus the Messiah very clearly. He was in a large crowd of people. He was slightly taller than average, with broad shoulders and a European appearance. He was very handsome and smiling. He had blond or light brown hair. His hair was shoulder-length and straight. He was very polite and European-looking. He had a clean smile and a dignified appearance. 

He did not say, ‘I am that person.’ I did not ask, ‘Are you that person?’ I did not ask if he was Jesus, the Messiah. I went up to him to show I had recognized him. Masha’Allah, I said. He came and embraced me. Then I woke up and cannot remember anything else.

His nose was long and elegant. His lips were exceedingly straight. I saw him very clearly. I could draw him from memory, I remember him that clearly. His eyes were colored. He had a deep but refined voice. But our talk was very short in my dream.

His followers also came up and smiled. ‘Look who has come,’ they said. I recognized him the moment I saw him, insha’Allah.

- Could you recognize the Prophet Jesus from among hundreds of people?

Adnan Oktar: Prophets’ faces are very different. It is impossible not to recognize them. For anyone with a normal conscience, anyway. A believer will at once see that intelligence and depth in the Prophet. But  Bediuzzaman says that not everyone will recognize Jesus the Messiah. The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will go among the people when necessary, but people will not recognize him and will not imagine he could be the Prophet Jesus.

They will not recognize him as they see from a bit of a distance and do not pay proper attention. But if someone of good conscience speaks to him face to face he will immediately recognize something extraordinary in his speech. But a coarse person of no conscience will not, of course.

A person of good conscience will immediately recognize him. The Mahdi is actually easy to identify, but because people’s consciences are closed off in the End Times, and because of the spell of the antichrist, they will not recognize him. The world will literally be hypnotized. The antichrist will cast a spell over the whole world, and that spell will prevent people recognizing him.

Mankind is under the influence of that spell now. Bediuzzaman says that the Mahdi will appear in Hijri 1400. I quote his words, but since they are under that spell they ask where he is. I say it is written that he will appear in Hijri 1400. And they say, where does it say 1400?

Bediüzzaman says he will appear from Istanbul. They say he does not say that. But he explicitly states, line by line, that he will appear from Istanbul. They cannot see what is written. 

Bediuzzaman says he will be working with his followers in 2010. These people produce a totally different calculation. They ignore Bediuzzaman’s calculation. They invent their own timing. They are under the intense spell of the antichrist.

That spell will not be lifted easily. It can only be lifted through faith and will. It has an intense effect. It makes people lethargic and distracts them. It puts them to sleep. These are things that enhance the value of the test, but if someone is heedless, he may become totally distracted by that spell.

Some under that spell will always be lethargic, self-interested and apathetic. He will wander round as if he were drunk. We can see that lack of attention in many people’s faces. Many people’s expressions are distracted, because of the effect of that spell.

Many Muslims are now asleep. Scholars are also sleeping. Scholars hold a meeting, for instance, and the greatest scholars in the Islamic world all come together. They hold their meeting, but in a comatose state.

People were sleeping like logs under the effect of this spell at the “Awakening of the Islamic World” conference." Not one talked about Islamic Unity, they engage in political gossip, but that is the really important thing. They never get onto the subject of Islamic Unity, which God makes an obligation by His command.

Is there a religious law to which Hazrat Khidr is bound?

Adnan Oktar: Of course, he is bound to a different religious law. He is not bound to the Qur’an, the Torah or the Gospels. He has his own unique religious laws. He issues his commands on the basis of that laws. And what is lawful and unlawful for him is not the same as what is lawful and unlawful for us. It is totally different.

- And his followers? 

Adnan Oktar: His followers also act in the same way.

- Will Hazrat Khidr have followers?

Adnan Oktar: Of course. He always has a group.

- Will the followers of the Prophet Jesus have their own special features deriving from him? Will you recognize them if you see them?

Adnan Oktar: Of course. God will gather the cleverest and most intelligent Christians in the world around him. But they will be very uneasy. They will not let on who they are in order to prevent any harm befalling the Prophet Jesus. 

- Are they at work now?

Adnan Oktar: Of course they are at work. But their work is not the kind we are familiar with. They are engaged in political activity.  Bediuzzaman sets the matter out. They will concentrate on politics. But they will not draw attention to themselves as they do so.

- Will they recognize Hazrat Mahdi?

Adnan Oktar: Jesus the Messiah will know him, because he acts through revelation. But he will not say anything.

- Will Hazrat Mahdi and the Prophet have a protector?

Adnan Oktar: Of course. The Prophet Jesus will come to pray (as revealed in the hadiths). He can behave like that because he knows he is secure. But there will not be a ring of guards round him. 

Normally his followers would be highly attentive to the Prophet Jesus now. They will be very worried in case anything should befall him. Because if the Prophet Jesus is questioned, it will emerge that he has no parents and is not a normal person. He may be accused of a serious crime such as having a false identity.

The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) was sincerely devout, he comes to the Earth to be welcomed

The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) was sincerely devout, he comes to the Earth to be welcomed (07.06.2014)

The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) was sincerely devout, he comes to the Earth to be welcomed

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated June 07th, 2014

Adnan Oktar:  We will see the Mahdi in all his glory in the years to come. We will also see the lovely face of Jesus the Messiah, the son of Mary. We are now preparing the foundations. We must first prepare a home for Jesus the Messiah. You must prepare his home to give him a fine welcome. He is already coming to be welcomed. 

He is a lovely prophet of Almighty God. God has never involved him in conflicts. The Roman army tried to catch him, and Almighty God turned into a form of light. When his body became light they could not see him. Almighty God took him into His Presence. He is a delicate prophet. God will send him to be welcomed and hosted in the Earth. Do you know why Almighty God loves Jesus? Because of his faith. His faith is so great that God feels no need to test him with sufferings. This is an extraordinary state of affairs. Look, the Prophet Moses (pbuh) was alarmed when his staff turned into a snake. Not so with Jesus. God told him to walk on water. He had 100% faith he could walk on water, not just 99%. He stepped on the water and really walked on it . The Prophet Jesus told his disciple, “Believe and you can cross.” His disciple felt a moment’s doubt, and sank into the water. The Prophet Jesus told him he had sunk because of his lack of faith. People become metaphysical entities the moment they have complete faith. The prophet Jesus becomes able to resurrect the dead. He has an extraordinary ability. Jesus’ faith is a wonderful faith. This is also described in the Gospels.

Anyone else would have been alarmed when Roman soldiers came, wouldn’t they? But he was quite relaxed. My Lord is with me, he said. I submit myself to God, he said. He was not alarmed. The soldiers came to the door. Judas the Iscariot entered, and Jesus immediately turned into light. Judas the Iscariot was left there alone. When the troops them seized Judas, he swore that he was not Jesus. They dragged Judas the Iscariot out by his hair. He was shouting that he was not Jesus. They then took him and crucified him. They nailed him through his stomach hands and feet. He screamed out till the last moment of his life.

Now Almighty God is sending Jesus the Messiah back. We will marry him to someone when he comes, insha’Allah. Jesus the Messiah is highly clever and intelligent. He has perfect judgment. He looks at the existence of matter and realized it is an image in the brain. He has total faith the evolution could not have evolved. He looks at the structure of proteins and has complete faith in God. He makes full use of his mind. He makes full use of his powers of judgment. Other people are not like that. They cannot fully concentrate. They lose concentration. They start wondering whether Darwinists might be right. They judge facts depending on their degree of faith.

Jesus the Messiah has a very powerful memory. When he reads something it stays in his mind. For example, when he comes, he will know all the signs leading to faith and the miracles of the Qur’an. Just one sign leading to faith is enough for him to believe. He will turn his faith to the universe and wherever he looks he immediately believe. That is not like the faith of ordinary people. It is very powerful.

That is why God sends the Mahdi beforehand and makes him reign over the Islamic world. He creates an environment in which he can be at ease. He will head the Christian world as a Muslim prophet. The Mahdi will wish him to be his caliph. He will become the caliph after the death of the Mahdi. But he will not live long, he will not survive the Mahdi by long. Then there will be great turmoil.

Bediüzzaman says of Muslims that, “They will try to fulfill their duties in secret and in a state of defeat.” Muslims will be out in the open until 1506 Hijri calendar. After 1506 they will be in secret and in a state of defeat. Until 1543. After 1543 the Qur’an will be raised up to the sky. There will be terrible degeneration in the world for two years. It will become intolerable. God will be forgotten. All the pages of the Qur’an will be burned. There will be no Qur’an on Earth. Bediuzzaman says, “When the Qur’an is raised into the sky, the world will lose its mind, it will go mad.” “By the divine will, another planet will strike the Earth since it will have gone mad,” he says. Scientists in any case say that an asteroid will strike the Earth in around 2120. This is no secret. It has appeared in the press. A very large asteroid. Scientifically, they think that this asteroid will crash into the Earth, and then do so again under the force of gravity. The world will then split apart in that second collision. Bediuzzaman says the same thing.

Bediuzzaman said this thing, which has only just been discovered, 80 years ago.

- An asteroid passed close by the Earth today.

Adnan Oktar: Today, wasn’t it?

- yes

- It passed at three times the distance between us and the Moon. At a speed 17 times that of a bullet. 

- Asteroids have been massing around the Earth ever since 1999.

Adnan Oktar: They are being prepared for the Day of Reckoning.

Adnan Oktar describes the secret of the global reign of Islam

Adnan Oktar describes the secret of the global reign of Islam (12&15.04.2014)

Adnan Oktar describes the secret of the global reign of Islam

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated April  11th &12nd &15th , 2014

I seek shelter in God from the accursed satan. “Those who believe and do good works.” Look, first they have faith and then they do good works. God says He will save His honest servants. Sincerity is a subject that gets overlooked. Yet God points to it as a means to salvation. In other words, God does not say worship. Because when people are sincere they also perform their religious obligations. They do the best of everything. 

“Those who believe and do right actions, happiness will be theirs and a wonderful Homecoming..”

A very brief time of testing is given in this world. The conditions of this world are really very difficult. It is hard to live. People look well groomed, but they work hard at it. They shower in the morning. They have to eat and drink. They have to take care over vitamins and not catch cold. They can fall sick and die if they catch cold. If they do not drink water their kidneys will become sick and they will die. A lung infection may kill them. A mole can be dangerous and turn into cancer. Human beings are weak entities. God created them so. God says that He created men as weak. Almighty God gives us a time to become acquainted, a time for love and friendship. He says I will cause you to know this for all time. Because there is a wonderful 3-D image. It is so perfect we really think that matter is there in front of us. Yet we see an image in our brains. Matter is there before us, but we cannot see it. We see what is in our brains. An amazing clarity. 

For example, you look at the fluid in the eye. It is a transparent gel. Imagine a light passing through that. Imagine we have turned the gel into a lens. If we look at something through that lens it will be all blurred. But here we have very sharp details. So the image that forms has nothing to do with that gel. It is obvious the image is created as a miracle. 

Take sound. Who hears sound? Someone hears it. There is a sound and a hearer. And sounds are actually heard without ears. The hearer has no ears. There is someone who tastes, but who does so without a tongue. There is also someone who smells, someone who has no nose. God has created most perfectly. He has also created all kinds of sickness and difficulty. In the morning one drinks coffee to pull oneself together. Then in the evening one is very tired. In the afternoon one says it is very hot. It is impossible for people to get things just right. They are very feeble entities. This world is obviously a specially created place of training. There is nothing worth becoming greedy for in this world. 

God helps believers in a wondrous way if people are not greedy. He creates a wonderful environment. For example, I left Ankara and came to the academy in Istanbul. I looked like an ordinary young man from Anatolia. Who would have guessed I would have penned works demolishing Darwinism? Who would have guessed I would have caused in people’s hearts by showing them the true Islam? Because the Islam we were taught was the Islam of the fanatic. Killing-beating-flogging-hanging. That is what was taught. “People who not pray must be killed,” “People who do that must be flogged,” “The penalty for this is that.” “Do you have time owing in prayer?” “I have 20 years of debt” people would say. “In that case you must pray day and night without eating or drinking” they would be told. Then they start showing the person who is learning about Islam a terrible way of life. A life nobody can live by. Blood, pain, suffering, lovelessness and women who are no longer women. Women are made to look like men, and men become like women. Because man’s love of woman has been taken away. Men are bound to find women cold and repellent. They regard them as a cause of guilt. They are portrayed as entities who make links with satan. These people already think that 99% of women will go to hell. They are portrayed as unlucky and semi-beings. Love of woman is taken away from people’s hearts. Sp perversion spreads. The current state of the world is obvious. Most of all in the Islamic world. 

---------------------

(Viewer’s letter) Opening Turkish schools is a good thing for Turkey. Only in that way can Islamic Union be established.

True. Schools are opening up all over Greece. Christianity or Greek culture predominates. There is no end to American schools. There are colleges all over the place. Nothing happens. Everyone minds his own business. It cannot happen with schools. Only by the might of God, if God so chooses. Through sincerity. Through sincere hope in God. Bediuzzaman Said Nursi says, “I swear in the name of God you will see the reign of Islam in this century.” 

Bediuzzaman says the Day of Reckoning will come around 1545 (Hijri). 

- The person that God creates in destiny will be Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). God reveals this to Moses in verses. “Then you arrived at the pre-ordained time, Moses!” He says. 

They do not believe the world is metaphysical. For example, when I came from Ankara I was all on my own. Who will heed a person who is all on his own? And I came to the academy. Everyone knows what kind of place the academy was (a left-wing educational institution). Nobody should have listened to me. I had no special training or learning. I was a normal high school student. But God created an effect. He caused me to write more than 300 books. He caused them to be translated into 75 languages. Hundreds of thousands of books and CDs were handed out. That was a huge impact. Almighty God causes us to move forward step by step. But the real weapon is love. Love is the believer’s true weapon. Love is the true weapon of the system of the Mahdi. 

- Shall I read a few hadiths? 

Yes.

- The friends of the Mahdi (pbuh) will be young people. The position of the elderly in his army will be that of kohl on the eye or salt on food. Salt is what there is least of in food. 

The Mahdi will conquer the East and West and cause Islam to reign across the world. God will give people such power that everyone will hear the Mahdi from where they are, and the Mahdi will give life to Islam. 

-----------------------

The Mahdi’s greatest weapon is sincerity.

The system of the Mahdi is the teaching of love. It teaches friendship, brotherhood, beauty and sincerity. Let me tell you a secret. God does not say that people with guns, power, money or political power will rule the world. He does not say that people who fast and pray will rule the world. He says that people who are sincere will attain salvation and rule the world. Only sincere people. The Mahdi’s greatest weapon is sincerity. He is the Mahdi because he has a sincerity that nobody else can attain. That is why God grants him victory.  

For example, America has arms but no sincerity, so it cannot win. Russia has money and guns. But no sincerity, so it cannot win. The Islamic world, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, have enough money to buy and sell the world, but they have no sincerity. Saudi Arabia also has military might. So God does not grant them victory. Indeed, they are crushed down. Whoever is sincere will rule the world. Honesty and sincerity is the crux of the matter. God points to sincerity as the only way to salvation. God points to sincerity as the only path to the global reign, in verse 55 of Surat an-Nur.  

- The verse says, “God has promised those of you who believe and do righteous actions…” 

Sincere people, but truly sincere.

It’s important to introduce the Qur'an to children

It’s important to introduce the Qur'an to children (12.03.2014)

It’s important to introduce the Qur'an to children

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated March  12th, 2014

Parents should read the Qur'an to their children, even if it’s only a couple of pages. They should just open it and show it to them. Because the kids don't know about the Qur'an. Usually many people don't ever open a Qur'an in their lifetime. If you want to give the greatest gift to your child, open up a Qur'an page, read a couple of verses, and then maybe another page and read some more verses. Then you would be introducing him to the Qur'an’s moral values. Or for instance, the young people do not know about the Treatise of Light collection. For instance, the Barla Addendum. It would be a great gift to give a small version to your child. Let’s look at it and see what it says: ‘Telling you about patience and trust in God in the face of these undesirable events is not necessary [because you already have it]. Actually you taught us the value of patience and trust in God, as before we used to complain about the slightest things, and you showed us how precious and joyful it is to trust God. Thank God, since that day, we are able to comprehend and appreciate the meanings of things better.’

For example a child doesn't know what is pain, or hurting, he doesn't know its causes, or the wisdom behind it: But when he reads the Treatise of Light, he understands that it is a test, he understands that there is wisdom and a good reason behind it. Then he won’t fall into childish traps of foolishness. Lots of dangerous things happen to children, and it’s happening because they don't know the Qur'an.

It would be great to read to them  from the Quran, some from the Treatise of Light and some from Harun Yahya books. For example ‘Pains of the False World’, or ‘The Religion of the Ignorant’ will greatly help a kid mature. Because in this way, he will be able to clearly see the dangers of a dark world which is the ‘religion of the ignorant’ and save himself from that. He would learn about the false worlds and then the true world. Just reading the ‘Religion of the Ignorant’ would completely change a kid’s life because Harun Yahya's books have a compact, concise style that effectively convey immense information.

When I was a kid, I was unaware of such books, I didn't know. It was really difficult to see a religious book around. We had a Qur'an in our house but it was in Arabic language and was hanging on the wall. For years it stayed there. We never knew back then what was written inside. But if you teach a kid the Qur'an, only ten pages of it, his whole world will change. Because kids already have good hearts, but when they are taught only evil, it creates a one-sided education. You shouldn't think ‘What would it change if I tell this to my child?’ Just do it and it will create a revolution in his soul. Maybe you won’t realize the change, but in reality his whole world will change. He will start to live in a different world, and even one page would suffice.

Give a copy of  ‘Quran's Miracles’ book to a kid, and his life would change. Giving books to children is very important, because then those kids would save their friends too. Usually children teach each other things that would influence them negatively, because they don't know any better. When I was a kid, I never saw a child that was talking about the Qur'an or Islam. Children are usually told wrong, strange, and unnecessary things. That’s why it would be a great gift to teach children about Islam from the Qur'an, the miracles of creation , Harun Yahya books, the Treatise of Light collection.

In the End Times, people will be ashamed to say they pray to God

IN THE END TIMES, PEOPLE WILL BE ASHAMED TO SAY THEY PRAY TO GOD

In the End Times, the antichrist will try to corner Muslims. In Surah al-Alaq, God says ‘...they will try to prevent people from praying’. The antichrist is portraying prayer as something to be ashamed of. Sometimes some people enter into the service of the antichrist with or without knowing, they serve him or talk like him, without even realizing it. For example, when they ask ‘Do you really pray?’, the person says ‘No way, how can you think I’d do that?’. They say ‘But that’s what we heard, that’s what they told us.’ ‘It’s not true, it’s my private life. I’d have told you if I was, but it’s not true’, he answers. 

But praying is a beauty to be proud of, right? When someone asks you ‘Are you compassionate?’, obviously you would answer ‘Yes, I am’, right? You wouldn't say ‘It’s my private life, I can’t tell’. He should be proud of it, but he is afraid, the mountains of fear are scaring him. Or for example, they ask us why we support the AKP. How can I not, especially when the situation is like this now? If such a question is asked like you are being threatened, you would of course be drawn to people who are praying, and you would shy away from people who show prayer as something to be ashamed of. There is nothing surprising about that. No one should think any differently about this. Everything is clear. One hadith says ‘...in the end of times, the antichrist will show some places as heaven, and people who go there will see that actually where they went is hell.’ For example he thinks he is in heaven, that he will have fun; but he sees there are drugs, prostitution, insults, threats, danger, death and he finds himself in the middle of hell. Another hadith says: ‘If any of you sees those days, go to the place which is shown as fire’. Because this is the End Times. The hadith says: ‘He should go to the river that looks like fire, shut his eyes, bow his head down and drink out of it, because it is beautiful cold water’. In other words, Islam will be shown to you like a horrible thing, but you approach Islam and the Qur'an, and you will find peace. For example, we explain how Qur'anic Islam is the real Islam, the free Islam, the modern Islam, the way the companions practiced Islam and many react: ‘It is fire’, ‘It is very dangerous’, ‘They are going to hell’, ‘They are not wearing headscarves’, ‘They are listening to music’, ‘They are wearing nice clothes, ‘Ladies are putting on make up’, ‘They are going to hell’ they say. ‘If any of you sees those days, go to the place which is shown as fire’. It is a beautiful life, says Prophet Mohammad (pbuh). 

‘The antichrist will have a mountain of bread next to him.’ Sahih Muslim passes on the same hadith as follows: ‘The antichrist will be accompanied by mountains of bread and meat and rivers of water’. In other words, they will intimidate people with the threat of lack of food, and will try to use them for their evil purposes. For example they give them the message that ‘If you are religious, you cannot succeed'; if you are religious, doors will be closed to you, you’ll be destroyed if you say you are praying, they’ll destroy you if you say you fraternize with religious people, you’ll be destroyed if you say you met Adnan Hodja, it’ll be the end of you if you say you know other hodjas, if you say you read the Qur'an, you’ll be ruined. Said Nursi says that they will threaten people with lack of food, lack of future and get them on his side, ‘They will fall onto his roof and become his prisoner’ says Said Nursi.

Another hadith says ‘Those who don't follow the antichrist, will face difficulties.’ And what will those following the antichrist say? [They will say]: ‘I don't know the Muslims, I don't pray, I don't fast, I don't practice Islam, or follow Qur'an’. And then they say ‘Perfect then. Now we’ll like you, elect you, praise you. By the way, do you happen to know this hodja?’ He answers ‘No way, why would I?’ They say ‘It’s just we heard it, they even said you were praying.’ He answers ‘Definitely not’. The others say: ‘We also didn't think you would, but we just heard that, and it would be like a disaster, especially before the elections. It’s not true, right?’

He says ‘It’s a complete lie, I’m definitely not praying. This is a private question, why do you pry into my private life?’. This shows the intensity of the End Times. He says, ‘There is no way I would fraternize with Muslims, I’ve never met them’. But when he is asked ‘Do you know this communist?’, he says ‘Of course, we are really good buddies.’ 

Or they ask him: ‘Do you know this Darwinist, that materialist?’ He says: ‘I always talk to him, we are such good friends. We always get together, he is like a brother to me. I like him a lot.’ But when he is asked ‘What about this Muslim? Do you know him?’ He says ‘Definitely not, I never would ’. 

These things are normal in the End Times. It is even narrated in the hadiths that the antichrist will kill people who don't follow him. Indeed, look around the world, there are disasters everywhere. He retaliates by killing. The satans will tell the antichrist ‘Tell us what you want and we’ll do it’. And he will say ‘Go and tell people I am their god’. In other words, tell them humans are the result of coincidences, that the universe popped into existence coincidentally, what Darwin said is true, tell them there is no god. He sends satans all around the world. Listen: ‘God will send him the satans and the satans will tell the antichrist tell us what you want and we’ll do it.’

'The antichrist will have one day and one nights' distance between his two feet. In one stride, he will cover long distances. With his right hand he will grab the clouds and watch the Sun and the stars.’ This is obviously a description of someone riding in a plane. How else could someone feel like he is grabbing the clouds? He is passing through the clouds, he is grabbing the clouds? How can he watch the Sun move? Because the plane moves as the Sun rises, and because he moves too, the rising continues for him. Or for example he starts flying while the Sun is setting, and it keeps rising as he moves and stops only towards the midday. ‘The antichrist will have one day and one nights' distance between his two feet’. In other words he will move very fast; this hadith refers to a speed of 300 or 400 km/h.

Explanations of hadiths related to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) by Mr. Adnan Oktar

New Explanations by Mr. Adnan Oktar (29 January 2014)

Explanations of hadiths related to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) by Mr. Adnan Oktar  

It has been related by Mohammad b. Hanafi; “One day, when we were with Hazrat Ali (ra) someone asked him about Hazrat Mahdi. Ali said “Alas!” and made a sign of nine with his hand, and then he said “He will appear in the End Times, when people are told “Have fear of God, have fear of God!”   So what does this mean? It means that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will appear when there is no fear of God in the world, when there is no belief in God, at a time when Darwinism and materialism wreaked havoc on the world.(And he continued as follows):

Just like clouds accumulate in the skies, God will gather a community around him.  What do the clouds do? For instance, one comes and unite with the other cloud and becomes a giant cumulus cloud and then comes  Hazrat Ali (ra) who likens this to the system of the Mahdi, as per the information transferred to him by our Prophet (saas).   He reconciles their hearts.  So they love one another, they become friends. Normally, people cannot easily become friends anywhere in the world. Even in communities, in organizations, hearts do not reconcile that easily. They do not feel sorry for those who are martyred among them.  That means there will be those among them who will be martyred.  And they do not rejoice over those who join them.  That is because God is the One Who sends those people to them, so in that sense, they do not feel proud about their joining.

Naim bin Hammad related from Kab and ordained; as told in Katade, Mahdi will be the most auspicious one among the people in his time. “His helpers and those who pledge allegiance to him…” His students and those who support him; “… will be among the saints of Kufa, Yemen and Damascus.” What is meant by Damascus? Actually, Istanbul is the place meant here. In all the statements related to the End Times, the center of the Islamic world has been taken into consideration. These are all places that have been accepted as  capitals of the Islamic world; Kufa, Damascus, Medina. When we hear of these, we are to know that these are the centers of the Islamic world. With the use of the world “saints” the select people, people with the character of Saints are meant. 

“God dissolves blind dissensions by means of the Mahdi.” Hazrat Mahdi puts away the blind dissensions like Muslims falling out with each other, wars, conflicts, Muslims who set their hearts on the same cause picking on each other.  This is his characteristic. God makes him instrumental in that. “Everywhere becomes secure.” There will be no wars, no anarchy, and no terror anywhere in the world. Everywhere becomes secure. Being secure covers security in every aspect; safety of life, contentment of heart, everywhere being clean, well-kept and secure. For instance, if there is a building that is about to collapse, he will repair it and make it safe. Everywhere will be safe and sound; people will be safe and sound . For instance, there will not be a poisonous animal, a poisonous bug. All precautions are taken accordingly. That is what is meant by secure. For instance, now there are holes on the road children could fall in; the roads are not safe. Or there are wooden beams falling on people from the construction sites. These are not secure places. Why not? Because precautions are not taken, they don’t use their heads. At the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) all sorts of precautions would be taken. All precautions will be taken in every matter.

In his commentary Ibn Meduyya related the hadith from Ibn Abbas. He said ; “People of the Cave will be helpers of the Mahdi.” What does this mean? The hadith explains that Surat al-Kahf refers to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). I have said this before as well; for instance, the hadiths state that the story of Solomon also refers to Hazrat Mahdi and that the story of Dhul’Qarnayn, the story of Talut and Goliath refers to Hazrat Mahdi. Our Prophet says that the state of the people of Al-Badr, the strategy of struggle in that war, the difficult conditions of that period refer to the system of the Mahdi. 

Ibn Hajari Mekki said: “There is no contrast in between the accounts that state the helpers of the Mahdi will come from the East and the accounts that state that they will come from Iraq, because it is clearly understood from many accounts that they will be from the people of Damascus.”  What is meant here with the people of “Damascus” are actually the people of Istanbul. We are to understand that Istanbul is meant every time Damascus is mentioned. Actually the general description here fits Istanbul better; the capital of the Islamic world is meant here. What he means by “Damascus.” When we hear Basra, Kufa, Medina, Damascus we understand that the capitals of Islamic world is meant. 

In his work named Favaid, Tamman and Ibn Asakir related from Abdullah b. Amr.  “He commanded, “One of the sons of Hasan (ra) Mohammad Mahdi will appear from the East even if mountains stand in front of him.” That means there will be tricks, conspiracies, opponents  that will stand in front of him like mountains; Darwinism, materialism being the leading ones. “He will crush them” with science and knowledge, “… and he will find a way in these mountains.” There is not one mountain, there are many mountains, and he finds his way among those mountains. He walks on them, walks around them. He plays with those mountains. Mountains lose their power. Mountains will remain weak and powerless in front of him.

Naim b. Hammad related from Hazrat Ali b. Abu Talib; He commanded; “Before the Mahdi, a person from the East from among the Ahl-al Bayt.”  So that means some individuals will appear before Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) who will pave the way for him. The sayyids, sharifs will serve. For instance, this hadith might refer to the community of Menzil, to Mohammad Rashid Erol; that is because he has been instrumental in the guidance of millions of people and he gave the glad tidings of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). 

“That scholar will aim for Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) but he will die before he reaches there.”  He really could not go to Jerusalem.  He wanted to go to Jerusalem but died before he reached there. Indeed that blessed person had been martyred. 

Abu Davud related from Hazrat Ali (ra) and said that Our Prophet (saas) ordained; “A man will appear from the river. He will be called Harris. He will be a crusader.  Before him there will be a man who will be called Mansur and just like Qurayshis helping the Messenger of God (saas), he will help the family of Mohammad as well. It is a necessary act for every Muslim to help him.” That means there will be many scholars, many people, and many blessed people before the Mahdi that will pave the way for the system of the Mahdi.  For instance, his highness Suleyman Hilmi Tunahan, he is also a sayyid as you know. For instance, Bediuzzaman Said Nursi before everyone else. “A man appears from the river,” it says. “A man named Mansur.” May be Mansur, may be Harris, one of those is Bediuzzaman Said Nursi but a clear sign has not been given for either of them. Only for Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) very clear, hundreds of details have been given. I mean it is almost impossible not to recognize him. And there is also a crippled man who will be the contrast of the Mahdi and he can also be recognized more or less. Other than those, none of the other helpers can be identified. Apart from them, the dajjal (antichrist) has been explained in great details; Jesus Messiah (pbuh) has been explained in great detail as well and the moves that Jesus Messiah will make, the coded moves have been explained so that Jesus Messiah will be recognized from those. 

Look, in many hadiths people are encouraged to look for the Mahdi “even in the snow”; that means the place Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is living will be a region in which there will be snow. It is not a warm climate location.

Explanations from the Treatise of Light regarding Jesus's methods of activity

New Statements by Mr. Adnan Oktar (14 December 2013)

Explanations from the  Treatise of Light regarding Jesus's methods of activity

"There is a sign and a hint in the fact that the number of the spiritual community of strivers who recognize and abide by Jesus through the light of faith is very small when compared to the scholarly and material armies of the antichrist in a number of schools and soldiers.”

Bediuzzaman says that the Jesus Messiah (pbuh) will come and that people will recognize him through the light of faith. I mean they will say, "This is Jesus (pbuh)". But he calls them "...a spiritual community of strivers." Who is this community, I wonder? That is a community of strivers, a spiritual community. " Bediuzzaman calls them a "community."  When compared to the “scholarly and material armies of the antichrist in a number of schools and soldiers…" Well that means Jesus and his disciples will found schools as well. That means they will be employing the method of Fethullah Hodja.  And "...in soldiers" Bediuzzaman says: That means, they will also have a place among soldiers. That means he will also send his students to the military units and they will set up their own cadres in military offices. Look, it says; "...when compared to the scholarly and material armies…" There will be many scholars among the students of Jesus; there will be associate professors, professors. So it is explicitly understood that they will have extensive activities in the universities. So they will be in military, armies in the classical sense of the word, so that means they will have rank and become Generals. So they will be officers; that means he will have a broad command over the army. And it says; "...there is a sign and a hint.." I mean, if they are in thousands, tens of thousands, the other will be hundreds maybe two hundreds maybe three hundreds. But despite that comparison they will be victorious, Bediuzzaman says.

There will be an alliance with devout Jews and Christians in the End Times

There will be an alliance with devout Jews and Christians in the End Times

From Mr. Adnan Oktar’s interview on A9 TV on 25 July 2013

ADNAN OKTAR: (viewer’s letter) “This can be done with the unification of the Islamic world. It cannot be done by forging an alliance with Crusader, Zionist armies.” My brother, nobody is telling you to forge an alliance with a Crusader, Zionist army. I am saying, “Forge an alliance with devout Jews and devout Christians.” They will crush the system of the antichrist, Muslims will crush it and Christians will crush it; when they are in alliance. Bediuzzaman says, “Christianity and Islam, which are defeated separately, will be victorious when they are allies.” He says that “Jesus (pbuh), who is in the sky, will appear in physical form.” “When he comes, people will not recognize him.” In other words, they will think he is an ordinary person. “But the select one and who are close to him will recognize him through the light of faith,” he says of Jesus the Messiah. An alliance with Christians is very important. The antichrist is misdirecting and misinforming you. Why? To weaken you. He wants to divide Jews from Christians from Muslims. They are smothering Muslims in Iraq and Syria and Egypt. They are trying to smother Israel, as well. They are already about to wipe Christians off the face of the earth. Churches are being closed everywhere, they cannot perform their acts of worship. They want the three great forces to fight among themselves and disappear, and thus to impose the system of the antichrist on the world. But the antichrist will be defeated as a result of this great alliance. The antichrist currently dominates the world. A huge force dominates it. Indeed, our Prophet (pbuh) says that the military power, the material strength, his own body in other words, “will be that of a child compared to a castle” in a hadith. As little as that. “But it will be great in quality” he says of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh). The same with Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). His community will be much smaller than the armies of the antichrist, just 313 people in total. That is what our Prophet says. There has to be an alliance, between Christians and Muslims. Yet they keep falling out. They never leave each other alone. They are not united in opposition to the irreligious, the atheists, all the enemies of Islam. A great many of them want Islam to be wiped off the face of the earth. They do not want there to be any more Muslims, Christians or Jews. But that extremism will disappear once Christians and Jews come together.

“At that point,” he says, “when the current appears to be very strong,” in other words, when the system of the antichrist, Darwinism and materialism seem to be very strong, “the religion of true Christianity, which comprises the collective personality of Jesus (pbuh), will emerge. That is, it will descend from the skies of Divine Mercy. Present Christianity will be purified in the face of that reality; it will cast off superstition and distortion, and unite with the truths of Islam. Christianity will in effect be transformed into a sort of Islam.” Christianity will come to resemble Islam. They believe in the one God. “Following the Qur’an,” by binding itself to the Qur’an right from the start, “the collective personality of Christianity will be in the rank of follower, and Islam, in that of leader. True religion will become a mighty force as a result of its joining it.” In other words, by Christians adhering to Islam. “Although defeated before the atheistic current while separate, Christianity and Islam will have the capability to defeat and rout it as a result of their union. Then the person of Jesus (pbuh), who is present with his human body in the world of the heavens, will come to lead the current of true religion, as, relying on the promise of One Powerful Over All Things, the Bringer of Sure News has said. Since he has told of it, it is true, and since the One Powerful Over All Things has promised it, He will certainly bring it about.” Bediuzzaman says that Christianity will literally become reminiscent of Islam. That is what is happening now. They are saying, ‘La Ilahe IllaAllah’ [There is no god but God] Belief in the trinity is fast disappearing among Christians. They are ridding themselves of nonsense and things that were added on subsequently. They are ashamed of such nonsense now.

Let us read a piece for everyone. You read it. Then we can carry on.

TUBA BABUNA: It is even recorded in authentic traditions of the Prophet that at the end of time the truly pious among the Christians will unite with the People of the Qur'an and fight their common enemy, irreligion. And at this time, too, the people of religion and truth need to unite sincerely not only with their own brothers and fellow believers, but also with the truly pious and spiritual ones the Christians, temporarily from the discussion and debate of points of difference in order to combat their joint enemy-aggressive atheism. (The Flashes / The Twentieth Flash / On Sincerity- p.203)

ADNAN OKTAR: Look, Bediuzzaman is saying, “Unite with the Christians.” Because Darwinist and materialist thinking has engulfed the world. Irreligion and atheism have engulfed the world. Bigotry and extremism have engulfed it.

GÜLŞAH GÜÇYETMEZ: It will be the truly pious followers of Jesus who will kill the gigantic collective personality of materialism and irreligion which the antichrist will form -for the antichrist will be killed by Jesus’ sword- and destroy his ideas and disbelief, which are atheistic. Those truly pious Christians will blend the essence of true Christianity with the essence of Islam and rout the antichrist with their combined strength, in effect killing him. The narration: “Jesus will come and will perform the obligatory prayers behind the Mahdi and follow him,” alludes to this union, and to the sovereignty of the Qur’an and its being followed. (The Rays / The Fifth Ray - Second Station - p.108)

ADNAN OKTAR: Bediuzzaman is also saying here that Christians will forge an alliance with Muslims. Devout Christians. He says they will adopt a kind of Islam and be freed from their distorted and corrupted ideas. Yes.

ELİF KIRAL: O my brothers who are here in the Umayyad Mosque and those who are in the mosque of the world of Islam half a century later!

ADNAN OKTAR: Half a century later. He is speaking of the present time.

ELİF KIRAL: Do the introductory remarks, that is, those made up to here, not point to the conclusion that it is Islam that will be the true, and spiritual, ruler over the future, and only Islam that will lead mankind to happiness in this world and the next; and that true Christianity, stripping off superstition and corrupted belief, will be transformed into Islam; following the Qur’an, it will unite with Islam? (The Damascus Sermon / First Word - pp. 35, 36)

ADNAN OKTAR: They do not stop being Christians, but they adhere to the Qur’an. They are still Christians. But they follow the Qur’an. They have become Christians who follow Muhammad.
