"Mahdi is a person melted in the Existence of Allah. There is a state of mind in which a person would become a radiant light. In a sense he would lose his position as matter. He would appear to be matter but he would no longer be a matter."

“A Muslim should be alert against insanity, against running amok; that is a plot of satan. Satan wants to drag people into Hell. It wants to drag people to its side. A Muslim should not accept that because he knows that it is religiously unlawful; he would seek refuge in Almighty God and say, “God is enough for us and the Best of Guardians,” and avoid unlawful conduct.”

“It is very astonishing that man, being a mortal, can still develop feelings of haughtiness.”

“Let children love Allah, let them love the Qur’an. Let us protect them from the dissension of Darwinism, from the dissension of materialism, communism, from the dissension of godless and Bookless mentalities. With all our might, let us teach them the beauty of holy values and the beauty of the Qur’an. Let the hearts of those beautiful beings be filled with the love of Allah.”

“Muslims turn fire into light, wrath into mercy.”

“The advocators of peace, the proponents of love should be much more determined, much more strong willed. They might try to deter us from our path, deviate us from our way but we should continue with determination and strong will.”

“May Allah give us strength to make love, compassion, modernity, democracy, freedom, everything beautiful and everything Allah loves prevail in the world.”
