If one finds it discouraging to show patience, he would face lots of difficulties. Then one would have to tolerate this. The fact is however, toleration is something, showing patience is something else. Patience is an act of worship done with pleasure. It is an act of worship done readily.

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Something happens and we act patiently. But we also reinforce our patience phase by phase. What is this, then? This is education. An education for what? An education for Heaven. God chooses a handful of Muslims and educates them here. When they are directly put in  Heaven, what happened to the Prophet Adam (pbuh) happens. It doesn't work that way, that is to say. With the education given the mind settles, the personality develops and one starts appreciating the blessings of God.

 - 
God tests people extensively. The trial in this world is not an ordinary trial. There is a weighty trial, a weighty education. This is not solely a trial; actually it is education, only the name of it is “trial”.

The wisdom of the Qur'an is crucially important. One needs to concentrate on it. Or else you can read many verses in ten minutes if you like. You can read the Qur'an rapidly but the Qur'an is a Book that should be read in an orderly manner and by pondering upon it, by unveiling the wisdom of it step by step.

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Unbelievers cannot do anything. For instance, the PKK wants to do something and God casts troubles on them. Hitler attempted to do something and God casts troubles on him. Mussolini tried and God ruined him. Stalin and Lenin wanted to do something and God ruined them all. God says that He would ruin all of them, and that they can never be successful.

 - 
People with a superiority complex like and overestimate unbelievers thinking that something would come out of them. Actually as they diverge into unbelief, inauspiciousness, troubles and ugliness enwrap them and they cannot find anything else in unbelief. What would come out of that gutter? Only the sludge of the gutter and nothing else.
 (A9 TV; May 27th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Feeling a sense of [unjustified] superiority causes snobbery and leads to impertinence. The tragic thing is that they become miserably senseless. For instance, they start lying swiftly and foolishly. They start talking irrationally, saying things that even the most foolish people wouldn't say. Such people have an astounding anarchy in their souls, an insane anarchy and they become prone to unbelief.

 - 
In the Qur'an, God says "We tested you with many trials" (Surah Ta ha; 40) to the Prophet Moses (pbuh). 'We have tested you,' God says. And then he (Prophet Moses (pbuh)) becomes a prophet with firm resolve. If the things he survived were ordinary things, he would have been an ordinary person. But since he has been tested extraordinarily, he became an extraordinary personality.

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Materialists say, "If God exists, He should turn this world into Heaven. Why are there all those troubles and pains?" Look at the reasoning here. Haven't you come here to be tested? Since you are not here to have fun, since you are here to be tested, of course there will be pain and troubles. Of course there will be hardship. How are you going to be tested without those hardships?

It is astonishing that even though people suffer extensively, they fail to realize the importance of religion. Actually a normal devout person lives a very peaceful, a very beautiful life.
 (A9 TV; May 27th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
We have always encouraged the Republican People's Party to be religious and they have proceeded on that path very nicely. They made great moves towards the religious lines. But if they put a damper on every move they make and say negative things about them every step of the way, then a portion of them might have to assume a negative attitude against religion and that would not be good. They can be criticized about every other matter, but I believe it would be wrong if they are criticized about the topic of religion. That is because their becoming religious is for the benefit of all Muslims.

Leaving an artist to his own means during his difficulties is a lack of good conscience. First of all, an artist should not struggle to make a living. They should be provided a perfect life. The state has many means, so these means should be at their disposal so that they can comfortably perform their art. If you force them into a life struggling to make a living, how could they perform? How could they perform under these conditions?
 (A9 TV; May 27th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Islam cannot be preached with the traditionalist Orthodox understanding of Islam. They put impertinent men on television and they talk about their own superstitions with the mindset of the 1930's and 1940's – I exonerate religion related topics. Such people can only address their own peer group with their mindset. The youth, on the other hand, watch these people with astonishment and repulsion. Actually neither their culture, nor their knowledge is suitable to communicate religion.
 (A9 TV; May 26th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Religion is quite easy and plain. There is love, compassion, friendship, brotherhood, forgiveness, generosity, self-sacrifice, bravery. How nice generosity is; for instance, there is a person you love and you see that he doesn't have anything. You act generously and it makes him happy and pleased. That would do you good as well.
 (A9 TV; May 26th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
The religion presented by the radicals is like Hell. There is no music, no paintings, no fun, no love, no friendship, no companionship, no nothing. There are only troubles, impertinence, irrationality, superstitions and nonsensical beliefs.
 (A9 TV; May 26th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Life turns into a nightmare if one remains aloof to religion, to Islam, to fear of God, to love of God. They do not say a single word about God. Just say "God" for once. Would they cause you any pain? Just say "God" for once - nothing would happen. They do not say it and the result is an inconceivable distress, an inconceivable tension. There is zero love. There is nothing in them to call love; love is extinct for them. They have no respect either; they have completely lost the feeling of respect.

How could men come into being out of muddy water? Elephants, giraffes, birds, storks, olives, orange trees, tomatoes, peppers; they say that they all have come about from muddy water. Well then, let us put all manner of chemical substances inside a barrel and do whatever you like, let us wait from father to son, in front of that barrel for millions of years. No giraffes, no men, no tomatoes, no peppers, no grapes, nothing would ever come out from that barrel.

Adnan Oktar
 - 
God created you with a beautiful creation and give you five senses; and you then say, "You came into being from muddy waters, you came from microbes and there is no God."   In the name of a so-called science, you fundamentally deny God, Who created all these fruits, all these vegetables, all these animals and plants. That brings about grave disasters. It brings about ruin. Making the system of the Mahdi instrumental, God does not ruin Turkey.

Darwinism should be taught in detail in school but the scientific response to it should also be given. Let us simply take fossils and display them in front of classes for students to see. That is it; we do not want anything else. Scientifically, it is not possible for a protein molecule to come about by coincidence; they should say this out loud.

In order to grasp the wisdom of the Qur'an, it should be read slowly and in an orderly fashion.
