Almighty God creates life in a state of sleep; the Qur'an refers to this deep secret.  People do not know that they are in a state of sleep in this world. Actually, they all are in a dream right now, they all are dreaming.  Some of them, for instance philosophy researchers, realize this fact in a state of awe and dismay.

Breaking away from the unbelievers, breaking away from their culture, makes people's minds clean, impeccable and lucid. Many people cannot completely break away from unbelief. They act half as a Muslim and half in disbelief. They live in the culture of unbelievers.

 - 
Not being self-sacrificing is a grave lack of conscience, it is a lack of moral turpitude. For instance, those Syrians who took refuge in our country are inoffensive people. Of course sheltering them brings about a financial burden and difficulties but it is worth the sacrifice. Let our money be spent instead of watching those children and households be annihilated, see them tortured and in suffering.

Muslims become handsome with faith, they become beautiful with trial. If that trial is taken away, Muslims would be devastated, may God forbid. I mean if one does not come across any difficulties, that means they acquire no good merits. We came to this world to be tested; that is why Almighty God says, "Or did you suppose that you would enter the Garden without facing the same as those who came before you?"

It will be a grave mistake for Europe to take on ISIS. They cannot succeed with murder, with killing. They should search for the Mahdi, that is our advice to them. Salvation lies in that. It won't work any other way.

In the hadiths it has been foretold that ISIS, which is referred to as ", black clothes" will prevail all over the region. Western forces cannot resist this destiny. The only solution is ISIS's allegiance to Imam Mahdi (pbuh).
 (A9 TV; May 22nd, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
ISIS will pledge allegiance to the Mahdi and then peace will come. With the appearance of Imam Mahdi (pbuh), the bloodshed will come to an end, the suffering and violence will come to an end and terror will cease, there will be no more bullets, weapons and bombs.
 (A9 TV; May 22nd, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Imam Mahdi (pbuh) is the only force that will put an end to ISIS.  According to the hadiths, those with "black banners" will abide by Imam Mahdi (pbuh) and thus ISIS will come to an end. Other than that, they cannot stop ISIS, let me tell you this much. It is not in their destiny.

There were no sects at the time of our Prophet (saas), at the time of the companions.  There were no Wahabis, no Sunnis, no Shias. There was only Islam as commanded in the Qur'an.

 - 
All statesmen in the world should abide by the Qur'an. That is a necessity for politicians to be reasonable and coherent. Have a look at the countries all over the world; you see that coups take place in some of them and people are being executed in others. A majority of them are unstable. They persecute their people.
 (A9 TV; May 21st, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Those who carefully read the Qur'an cover to cover become very wise. They become very stable and talk very reasonably.
 (A9 TV; May 21st, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
The Qur'an is the book of reason. Actually the Qur'an is the book of love and reason. When one abides by the Qur'an, he becomes wise, reasonable and balanced.
 (A9 TV; May 21st, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
When God opens the heart of a person to Islam, radiance comes to that person's mind and body. He becomes very stable and reasonable. Otherwise people become unstable. Of course such people rarely are calm as well but most of them are unstable. They cannot think reasonably.

Adnan Oktar
 - 
We talk to them reciting verses and say, "That is what God says in the Qur'an". They reply saying, "This is not what the hodjas we know are saying." Why do you not trust the Qur'an? You do not trust the Book of God. They insistently search for the religion of their forefathers in the Qur'an. They refuse anything else if they cannot find it in the Qur'an. The fact is, however, religion is learned directly from the Qur'an, not from forefathers.

Adnan Oktar
 - 
There is no such thing to call the success of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Everything is created by God. God makes Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) instrumental in this. Meaning the triumph of the moral values of Islam and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) are created separately.
 (A9 TV; May 21st, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) does not have an independent power. All power belongs to God: Jesus Messiah (pbuh) does not have an independent power either, because all power belongs to God. People sometimes develop such a polytheistic mindset and imagine that Hazrat Mahdi has an independent, separate power. Actually his first breath and his last breath are all defined in destiny.
 (A9 TV; May 21st, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
You cannot stop ISIS: This is their destiny. This has been foretold in the hadiths explicitly. They will stop when the Mahdi (pbuh) tells them "stop". As for the solution, they should go search for the Mahdi. There is no other solution, let me tell you this much. They cannot resist destiny; they are struggling in vain.
 (A9 TV; May 21st, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is the solution of ISIS. They've been saying that as well. "We will continue our efforts like this until the appearance of the Mahdi (pbuh). But when the Mahdi appears, we will pledge allegiance to him and we will abide by him," they say.

 - 
The Call to Prayer should be recited all over the world, in the US and in Europe. That would bring about abundance to these countries, the inauspiciousness upon them would dissipate. For instance, if they were to recite the Call to Prayer in New York, abundance would enfold the whole city.

 - 
It is not the municipality that builds the highways; God is the One Who builds them. Those roads are inside our minds. You see those roads inside your brain. When you get into your car, you see continuous images of the road inside your brain.  Who then created those roads? God created all of them. That is a scientific fact.
