ADNAN OKTAR: Almighty Allah says in verse 21 of Surat at-Tawba about the believers: “Their Lord gives them the good news of His mercy,” the mercy of Allah. Mercy is a blessing that comprises all forms of beauty. “...and good pleasure,” all delights that would please people, “and Gardens where they will enjoy everlasting delight.” Look, there are Gardens for believers, and His mercy and a good pleasure. There is happiness in this world and the Hereafter. They will “remain in them timelessly.” In Paradise. “Truly there is an immense reward with Allah.” In other words, Allah says the reward in His sight will be a very great one. “Oh you who have iman,” says Almighty Allah, “Do not befriend your fathers and brothers if they prefer kufr to iman.” Leave them if they are opposed to your living by Islam, to your living with Muslims and striving alongside them, if they say you should think like them, that you should be immoral or not live like a Muslim or not strive alongside Muslims, if they love and prefer denial instead of faith, denial; meaning every kind of attitude that contradicts Ifslam “do not befriend your fathers and brothers if they prefer kufr to iman.” Do not be their friends. Leave them. Who says this? Almighty Allah. “Those among you who do befriend them” who become friends with them, “are wrongdoers.” Almighty Allah says this is unlawful. Do not obey them if they seek to turn you from the path of Allah, for they are not your friends, parents and fathers, Allah says. Allah tell us not to obey them. Leave them if necessary. They cannot succeed, not even if they fight and wage war against you. Leave them, says Almighty Allah. “Say, If your fathers or your brothers or your sons or your wives or your tribe,” that is your community, “or any wealth you have acquired, or any business you fear may slump or any house which pleases you, are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger,” the leaders who strive alongside you at the time, “and doing Jihad in His way,” to strive in the path of Allah, “then wait until Allah brings about His command.” He says that if you prefer your family to jihad, to spreading the deen of Allah and to being with other Muslims, if you prefer your people, your possessions and your brothers, “then wait until Allah brings about His command.” Allah says He will punish you, so wait. I will punish you. “Allah does not guide people who are deviators.” In other words, He does not guide people who disobey His commands. He does not bring them salvation, faith in their hearts nor contentment and well-being. Almighty Allah says this about whom? Look, “your fathers or your brothers or your sons or your wives or your tribe,” your community, “or any wealth you have acquired, or any business you fear may slump or any house which pleases you,” If you prefer any of these to Allah, the Qur’an, spreading the Qur’an, living by the moral values of the Qur’an, “...and His Messenger,” any leader from the community of Muslims living at that time, and I say this in the figurative sense, “and doing Jihad in His way,” striving on the path of Allah, “then wait until Allah brings about His command.” Allah says that if you abandon the community of Islam and turn for such interests, He will punish you. Allah says you must abandon them even if they are your father and brothers if they try to turn your from the way of Allah or to stop you striving alongside Muslims. Never obey them says Allah. “Allah has helped you on many occasions, including on the Day of Hunayn.” Allah says He helps you everywhere. In verse 26 Allah says: “Then Allah sent down His serenity on His Messenger and on the muminun.” He says He bestowed a feeling of security and calm on them. “...and sent down troops you could not see.” What is there in the End of Times? Gabriel(Jibril), Michael(Mikha’il) and Raphael (Israfil) will be on the right and left side of Hazrat Mahdi. He says that He will support Hazrat Mahdi (as) with 3000 angels. Almighty Allah reveals that in the hadith of our Prophet (saas). That is what the verse is referring to. “Allah sent down His serenity and sent down troops you could not see.” That means they are invisible. What does Cubbeli say?   He says that they will be visible. But Allah says they will be invisible, that you will not see them. In the End of Times,  we are the vanguards of Hazrat Mahdi(as). Allah helps also those who go before Hazrat Mahdi (as). Allah also gives them grace, insha’Allah. “He punished those who were kafir. That is how the kuffar are repaid.” Allah tells us to give a struggle against them, may Allah put them to their trump through your hands, dissuade them, humiliate them because of their immorality. What are we doing? We are exposing the liars, the trickers, the corrupted. We are exposing all the oppressors. Look what Allah says “Fight them! Allah will punish them at your hands, and disgrace them and help you against them, and heal the hearts of those who have iman.”

We are also striving against the enemies of the motherland, of the nation, against the alleged organization Ergenekon, against freemasonry, and against those who seek to hinder Islamic Union, Turkish-Islamic Union, and we are humiliating them intellectually, with reason, ideas and thoughts. We are exposing their lies and stratagems and we are utterly disgracing them. That is the command of Allah. “He will remove the rage from their hearts...” He will heal the hearts of the believers. “Allah turns to anyone He wills. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.” “Or did you suppose that you would be left without Allah knowing those of you who have done jihad and who have not taken anyone as their intimate friends besides Allah and His Messenger and the muminun?” Allah tells us to take only believers as friends.  Allah says He will test people. He tells them to take “only those who have done Jihad” that is to say those who struggle, who strive for good and those who do not take friends other than Allah, His Messenger and the muminun. Look He says “Allah, His Messenger and the muminun”. Allah tells us to take only the believers as our friends. “Did you suppose you would be left without Allah had known those and bring them into light,” says Allah.  Allah says that some of you will be treacherous and leak information about believers to others, and Almighty Allah says that He will identify these people. “Allah is aware of what you do.” We are also striving, for the national integrity of the motherland and to prevent Turkey being broken up, against the PKK, against the communists and against the alleged organization Ergenekon. The most dangerous of all are the freemasons and atheist Zionists, and we are engaged in an intellectual struggle against them. What are we doing? We are waging jihad. When He speaks of jihad, Allah does not mean with sticks and stones and swords. It means ideas and culture and knowledge. These are the weapons. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will cause no bloodshed in the End Times, and he will not cause the sleeper to be woken. He will crush denial by calling on Allah. What are we? We are the vanguard of Hazrat Mahdi (as), so we have the upbringing of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and are striving with love, affection, science and the truth in exactly the same way, and we are humiliating kufr. We are exposing their lies and stratagems. The stratagems of the PKK, for instance. We are exposing the snare of the freemasons, the supposedly scientific frauds they use to deceive the public and the nation. We are exposing the frauds of the Darwinists and are utterly humiliating them. They are being humiliated in the sight of the people because they employ frauds.
