Islamic Union be located? Why was this country selected?

MR. OKTAR: In the hadiths, our Prophet (may Allah bless him and
grant him peace) reveals that the blessed Mahdi will emerge from
Istanbul. "The Hour will not be established until a man from the people
of my house [the Mahdi] takes possession [of the world]. He will con-
quer Istanbul," the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)
said. This will be a spiritual conquest, inshaAllah. Great Islamic scholars
say that Istanbul will be the center of the Islamic world during the End
Times. The current political developments show that Turkey has
assumed an important and active role. Turkey is leading the way to
peace and stability in the Caucasus, in the Middle East, and even in
Africa. Things are proceeding very well, inshaAllah. A most enlightened

age will dawn, under Turkish leadership, within the next 10 to 15 years.
The current strife and chaos will come to an end. We will see an age of
plenty and abundance, inshaAllah, similar to the age of the Prophet
Solomon (peace be upon him). The salvation of the world is close
at hand, by His leave. …
