A Muslim lives and serves to earn God’s consent; not to attain any worldy gain.

Muslims aim the good pleasure of God when choosing the person they will marry. In marriage, Muslims make their choices considering the other person’s morality and piety, not occupation and income level.

Many people run after worldly desires only, while my friends strive in the way of God’s will day and night.

The philosophy presented under the name of ‘humanitarianism’ is also a philosophy the British deep state learnt from the time of the Pharaoh. A Muslim lives for God not for the religion of ‘humanitarianism.’ Every moment of one’s life is for God, not for the religion of ‘humanitarianism’.

Women are beautiful beings created only to serve God. Those men who think ladies exist to serve them are grossly mistaken. One should marry a woman to experience true love with her, as a reflection of love for God. But some people wrongly view women as an object.

Every action of believers is only to gain the approval of God. God is the only Love of believers. Every effort we make is for the sake of God; it is a testament of our love for God.

We can prove our love for God by choosing the option that will please God the most.

My sole philosophy in life is to pursue and work for the approval of God in everything I do, in the utmost level possible.

Life can be lived to the fullest when it is lived to please God alone. That would be a well-lived life.

What God wants from us is to work for His approval with all our might and to be sincere. God always helps such people. A believer should be completely sincere. Then everything will work out for that person. Otherwise, there will be constant problems, troubles and difficulties.

One earns their place in Heaven by working to earn the approval of God.

Marriage should be based on a desire to please God. While choosing a significant other, one must ask if that person is devoted to God. In choosing spouses, one must choose a partner for eternity and see if they love God, intellectually work to spread Islam and is selfless or not.

God commanded us to spend money, property and wealth for good causes and not to hoard it.

According to the Qur’an, Muslims have an obligation to give away a part of their livelihood –what is left from their needs- to the needy. Muslims look after one another. There is no selfishness in Islam.

Actually it is very easy to keep those who are in need, happy. God commands us to give away whatever is surplus to our needs.

Believers are happy to spend their wealth for God. Hypocrites have an insane greed and consider spending for God as a loss. Believers don’t collect and accumulate wealth. It is a compassionate act of worship to distribute wealth.

Hypocrites have an extreme fear about their future and dread what will happen in the future. They also fear losing their wealth. Hypocrites stay with believers for their own self-interest and when they have no self-interest left, they leave. Hypocrites greedily accumulate wealth and property. Muslims always distribute their wealth to earn the good pleasure of God.

Muslim spends and distributes wealth in the way of God. Otherwise God could make that money hospital expenditure for that person, may God forbid.

Wealth turns into a disaster for those who hoard that wealth. The wealth of believers is for distributing on the Path of God and for being instrumental in goodness.

If you are handing out charity to the poor, why do you care about how much it weighs? You may give or hand out as much as you can afford. You may give as much clothes or food as one can carry. Why are you measuring it in grams or whatnot? It is not befitting of the morals of Islam for one to weigh the goods to be handed out. One should hand them out by handfuls, in abundance.

It is not befitting of a Muslim to make estimations or calculations when handing out a part of his possessions as charity. A believer gives his possessions without counting and bragging about it.

There is no ambition of ownership in the morality described in the Qur'an. Everything belongs to everyone; brotherhood comes to the forefront. Everyone shares everything they have with their brothers. They will share everything they have, everything they eat, they drink, they wear, everything they own. There will be no such thing as hoarding goods, acting ambitiously, etc. These are all things that they have come up with later on saying, "You are to give one fortieth of the gold you own," etc. There is no such thing. The Qur'an tells us to give whatever is surplus to our actual needs.

It is of course very important to be at our Prophet (saas)'s elbow. It is a great comfort for the Companions of our Prophet (saas). Actually people do not know the Islamic community that well. Muslims are like a big family. If one has a mansion with thirty rooms for instance, he fills it will Muslims, the food is cooked for all of them. The goods are distributed. Trade is done together, everything is shared and done commonly. That is an unprecedented system.

Some people talk within the lines "But how are we to find the money?" about helping those who are in need. God would bring plenty in folds. The good deeds that will be attained is important, attaining the good pleasure of God is important. If you attain the good pleasure of God, He would give you riches. If you do not act in a way to attain His good pleasure and are stingy instead, God would take away everything you have and you would lose all your goods and possessions.

Some people think the pious should be detached from life. According to this mindset they can enjoy life while the devout must be withdrawn.
