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.

 - 
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.

 - 
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.

 - 
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.

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.

Adnan Oktar
 - 
What we see from the verses is that there is a possibility even for Pharaoh to believe if he is preached to. Then communists, PKK militants, atheists, everyone should be told about religion. How? With a lenient, kind and respectful manner.
 (A9 TV; May 20th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
One worries about how he is going to wake up for the morning prayers, he troubles himself with it. Constantly whining, he says, "How am I to wake up that early?" Yet if you were to say, "We will give you five thousand liras in the morning without any provision", he would not sleep, he would not even blink until the morning. If you were to tell him that he should wash his face fifty times, and wash his arms fifty times and his feet fifty times and that he will be given five thousand liras every morning, millions of people would line up to do this. See that God promises eternal Heaven, yet he fails to do as God commands, because he does not believe in it: If he believed, he would have done that.

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Being slack in talking about God is an unlawful act. This is an affliction upon the Muslim world. They do not feel the need to preach religion. They say, "There is the Religious Affairs Directorate and they are doing this anyway. Why should we preach religion?" The fact is, however, preaching religion is a religious duty upon all Muslims.

No matter how attractive a person is, if God does not bestow love upon that person, they could not be loved. God is the One Who creates that attractiveness, and He is the One Who makes it loved.

Adnan Oktar
 - 
My friends and I have prepared the ideological foundation for the right wing. It is not possible for a rightist government to come to power without the respective ideology. What did we do?  We have fundamentally undermined Darwinism and materialism with scientific proof. The left wing died in Turkey, scientifically and philosophically, and the right came to power only after that. Or else it would not be possible for a rightist party to take a single step forward if Darwinism had remained very robust.

One criticizes those he loves. Friends criticize; the criticisms coming from a friend might feel bitter, but they are like medicine.
 (A9 TV; May 20th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
If there is criticism, it means that a country is free. If it is not possible to criticize anything, it is not possible to live in that country. There should be a lot of critics. That is a sign of health, a sign of beauty and liveliness.  If no one makes a sound, it means death; that is a sign of death. Opposing journalists, opposing television stations should all be able to voice their opinions loudly.
 (A9 TV; May 20th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Idolaters can insult, use bad language and attack. God says, "Do not mind them!" Why does God tell us not to mind them? That is because God is the One Who gives them that power. If He wills so, there would be no one to call 'idolater'. God is the One Who creates them and their speech. If He wills it so, He could make them unable to speak. That is why God wants Muslims to have a very calm spirit.

 - 
Islam is the religion of ease, not difficulty. But radicals have made it very difficult, so much so that it became impossible to live by. That is why a great portion of the people in the Islamic world do not live by Islam.

Adnan Oktar
 - 
I am looking for the Mahdi (pbuh) and so are you. However not being able to find him, not having seen him yet, does not change the intensity of our activities, our efforts and this will never change. We will continue on this path until we die.
 (A9 TV; May 19th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
People will resist against all Mahdis. That is a sign of his being the Mahdi. Our Prophet (saas) says that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will strive for 40 years. If the Mahdi were to make progress easily, why would he need to be striving for 40 years? He would have  results in less than 40 days. But that is not the case.
 (A9 TV; May 19th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
All the Prophets and Mahdis that have been sent have increased the number of religiously lawful acts and decreased the unlawful acts. But idolaters have always increased the number of unlawful acts and decreased the number of lawful acts. The fact is, however, the number of lawful acts are very high in the true religion.
