One cannot become a prophet just by wanting to be one. One cannot be a prophet just by working on it. And one cannot become the Mahdi just by working on it. Just by striving, for instance even if we were to open schools, preach religion, open Islamic monasteries and strive, we cannot become the Mahdi. Even if we establish worldwide big companies, open madrasas, courses, even if we open Qur'an courses, we cannot become the Mahdi. It should be by Allah's choosing. - Harun Yahya
