“How can we wait for the Mahdi? How will these 10 years ever pass?” They will pass very excellently, with conversation and talk. There could be no way of the Mahdi without these other times. The finest years of the way of the Mahdi are these years. These are the hardest, but the best years. Afterward, Islam will rule the world. The Mahdi (as) will sit at home and talk, and they will travel about but the merit earned will be very low. In other words, if one earns a trillion merits in difficult times it will not be possible to earn so much in easier times. - Harun Yahya
