REPORTER 1: Kemal Yolacar from Zonguldak asked the following question: "Our beloved Master, I have read such a hadith about the hypocrites who will leave the beautiful, precious Hazrat Mahdi's (as) side. 'A group of people from my ummah will continue to act in accordance with Allah's order. People, who will leave them and oppose them despite the fact that they are on the right path, cannot harm them till the Doomsday.' From this hadith, do we need to figure out that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will always be in Allah's protection?"

ADNAN OKTAR: We are all in Allah's protection. As you know, all the Muslims have on their lefts and rights, fronts and backs; conscious beings created by Allah; there are Angels. However Allah is the One Who protects, as He makes them instruments. However, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be protected in a splendid way. That is to say; although he is just a single person who might be thought to be challenged easily; all unbelievers will unite against him. For instance; who are the identities in the End Times? There is the Baron, the alleged Ergenekon Organization as a strong opposing force. And there is the system of the anti-Christ above all. He will be opposed by atheist freemasons. Atheist Zionists will again be opposing to Hazrat Mahdi (as). Atheists, anyone having perverted beliefs will, as a block, take side against Hazrat Mahdi (as). Among the Muslims, the hypocrites will side against the Mahdi; the ones with the polytheistic character, the hypocrites will take side against him and take up a position against him. But as they cannot be sure about Mahdi's identity -as they do not believe that the Mahdi is the Mahdi indeed- they can only, as Allah announces in the Quran "try to harm you with their evil tongues". That is their acts will be based on words mostly but they will not be effective.  However they will have an aggressive attitude towards the Mahdi, as it is understood from the hadiths. Yet, again as our Prophet informs in his hadiths "he will come across with great mountains but he will certainly find a way to cross over." Allah will certainly show him a way; He will certainly ease his task. When we take a glimpse at our age; we see that there is a very significant struggle going on. When we take a glimpse at the Baron's media; we see that they have been adopting a way of speaking ignoring the belief in Quran and in Allah; haven't they? I mean, they are constantly attacking on Islam, on religion cunningly or sometimes overtly or semi-covertly. They attack on Turkish Islamic Union and on Islamic Unity. They have been adopting an aggressive attitude towards those who they think might be influential. Although they, themselves, lack morality; they try to preach Muslims about morality. Even though they overtly defend immoral attitudes, sex, porn; and even though they publish photos, pictures and documents regarding those, even though they encourage the youth to that end and even though they praise those who did these actions; we see that they are accusing Muslims for adopting immoral behaviors. This is a strategy. In fact, the reason why they are not comfortable with Muslims is that they reject living the immoral life style suggested by them. That is the reason why they are uncomfortable with Muslims. Otherwise, had Muslims lived the same life style with them; what could ever be a problem, there would be none.. There would have been no problem at all if Muslims had been as immoral as they are, may Allah forbid,  if they also favored porn as they do, if they adopted every immoral deeds, drank as they do, etc., they would crown the Muslims. They attack Muslims by saying "why don't you do these?" anyway. Therefore, Muslims are to be alert and wise. For instance; when Baron publishes a text; their response is "wow, there is a significant information here; look what I have heard". You, the fool, the person who publishes it is a man who has no faith in Allah, no belief in the Book, he is irreligious; isn't he? He is a man lack of dignity. His favoring porn and fraud is obvious, everything is out in the open. As a Muslim, how can you believe in such a kind of man actually preaching morality? And how can't your narrow mind grasp this and how can you not see the great game he is playing while doing so? This is very surprising. When the age of Prophet Joseph (as) is considered; how does the immoral person of that time call to the Prophet Joseph (as)? He says for the Prophet Joseph (as),  "He is person who attempted rape, he is rapist" -Hazrat Joseph is beyond that. And despite the fact that he is innocent, you know that he is put in prison with the accusation of indecent assault, of illegitimate sexual affair. And the fools of that time believed this; they, the fools, the idiots of that period, talked among themselves "wow, he did it really". The same occurred for Hazrat Maryam (as); they accused her of a illegitimate affair as well and the fools at that time believed in that false accusations; didn't they? And Hazrat Maryam had to defend herself. They ask Hazrat Maryam "how could you do that?" in the Quran. The same false accusations were also directed at Jesus Christ (pbuh) as well. They treated him as an illegitimate child. That is to say; there are immoral people who are themselves tricked by immoral people at all times. This also is a type of immorality; the one who is trapped by the immoral is an immoral himself. Never be fooled by the fool. If those are doing something dishonorable; the one who is fooled is doing something even more dishonorable as he knows the Quran, Islam and that a report brought by an evil doer should not be believed, Allah orders us to "scrutinize it carefully" to "ascertain the truth" but instead you believe in it. Then you call them "evil-doers", you as well are an evil doer, that is because you are doing something Allah deemed unlawful, Allah tells you to "scrutinize it carefully" have you done so? No. Did you see it with your own eyes? No. Did you hear it yourself? No. Then, we ask "who said this?"; he replies: "Baron said so and I believed it". Is Baron your Sheikh? Is he your guide? What is he, anyway? Who is he that you believe in his every word? You are to know the Baron as a person lacking honor, dignity and character. He is a devious crook and an assaulter and an accomplice of the anti-Christ trying to seduce people; only then you would be acting as a Muslim would do. Right? I see many fools, I see many people acting foolishly; the team of the Baron says something about a Muslim -any Muslim- and they start saying " oh, really?" and they instantly believe. My brother, read Surah An-Nur. What does Allah say there? "Why didn't you say 'This charge is an obvious lie'?" Almighty Allah says "Why didn't you say 'Allah is beyond that, this charge is an obvious lie'?" Allah orders to "flog them with eighty stripes if they are unable to bring four witnesses". And Allah tells us that they are liars. See that Allah calls them liars. What does this man say? He says that he is a Muslim. But Allah calls him a liar for believing in that lie and for spreading it. Therefore, the attitude of a Muslim should always be to ascertain the truth. For instance, sometimes I am told some remarks about a Muslim; I never believe it, I never would..
