The love of believers for one another infiltrates their cells. Every cell in the body recognizes love and finds life in love. Lovelessness makes one suffer.

Believers should always be cheerful. Humans are created weak and such a being cannot afford to feel grief; that would destroy him.

Let the joy, beauty, excitement of faith spread all over. We want the happiness, beauty of heaven. We do not want tears. Believers should not cry and should always be happy. There is an attempt to hurt believers with grief.

What beautifies a believer is faith, sincerity and love.

Islam in the Qur'an is joy and celebration. Yet, there are all kinds of darkness in bigotry. What we intend is the Islam in the Qur'an.

A true believer and a sincerely devoted faithful person is the wisest one in the world who acts with the most righteous conduct.

Religion is joy, happiness and celebration. Islam is beauty.

Beauty, happiness, love and kindness of believers infuriate the supporters of satan. They get very jealous to see those blessings.

Putting trust in God is obligatory; feeling grief is not acceptable.

Not feeling fear, not feeling grief or sorrow are precise provisions of the Qur'an. A Muslim should avoid them all. A Muslim who puts his trust in God does not experience sorrow, grief or fear.

All the songs are about crying because faithfulness or fidelity is lost. What does religion ensure? It ensures fidelity, faithfulness and patience.

The world is full of numerous beauties, but one may get no joy from them without love for God. True happiness comes by knowing that they are gifts from God.

Loveless people lose everything they have, including their physical and spiritual beauty and happiness.

Mourning is unlawful according to religion, it is an ancient pagan custom. As the ancient Sumerians, ancient Egyptians, Persians, Hittites did not believe in the afterlife, in martyrdom, they considered death as a disaster. They would cry as to rebel against God. Us Muslims regard martyrdom as [achieving] an honorable rank.

Some people use crying as their weapon when things contradict their interests. This is a devilish method of fussing in order to arouse pity for themselves, in order to acquire something, in order to object to something, to frustrate the other party. A Muslim cries for the love of God. They do not cry to bother or frustrate others, as this is indecent and atrocious.

Muslims are in such a deadlock that their minds are frozen by rules non-existing in religion, , music, arts, being joyful. Since being exuberant is shown as a potential sin and they regard themselves as guilty, they have a defeated character. Muslims who abide by the Qu'ran are enlightened, high-quality, self-assured and wise. No Muslims should agree to having a defeated style.

A believer should always be in good spirits, full of life. If they feel down, sad or distressed about something, or they're bothered by something, the body will want to sleep to get rid of that feeling. But if one is happy, the body wouldn't want sleep, it would want to get up and live life instead.

Crying is not acceptable for us. We did not cry in Çanakkale. We did not cry in Dumlupınar. We did not cry in Malazgirt. Why would we cry? As a nation who desires martyrdom, as a nation who regards martyrdom as an honor, why would we cry for martyrs?

Let us please put aside the habit of crying at the funerals of martyrs. It is not in compliance with the Qur'an, it is not in compliance with our customs; there is no such habit in the morality of Islam. That is a custom observed since the ancient Sumerians. It is not appropriate to cry after those who have gone to Heaven.

It is great immorality that some families force their daughters into marriage only for money.

Neither our Jewish citizens nor Israel should feel concerned; Israel must not call its citizens back.

A believer will never defy God, and will be content with Him no matter what happens. He will always trust God.

Men can flee the PKK, but women cannot. The PKK catches them, rapes and kills them.

We want large praying rooms everywhere, in schools, hospitals, shopping malls. Especially rooms for ladies should be very well kept. Ladies should be given separate, spacious, nice places to pray and take ablution, so that they will have no difficulty in crammed places.

My new book about the ordeal of the Rohingya people is out and will be available in English soon. Rohingyas are great people. They suffered a lot. We are sending our deepest regards to them.
