Some people use their knowledge only to show off and sell themselves. They do not think about earning the good will of God. Such people are described in the Qur'an as "donkeys loaded with weighty tomes" All knowledge must be used to earn the good will of God.

If people use their knowledge for mischief and conflict, God will not be pleased with this behavior.

If a person wants only the good pleasure of God, even if he thinks he misses out certain things in life, he would be living the happiest life and enjoying love to the fullest.

If one works to please God, God will make people love him.

All my friends strive for God's approval, none of them expect any monetary return.

It would be best if auspicious acts, charity works are done in secret, with only God knowing.

My friends are not attached to this world. They put their trust in God and act only for His good pleasure.

We ceaselessly spend in the way of God. Money should not be piled up but spent for God's approval.

If love is not based on the consent of God, everything comes to an end when one's interest in another is over. A strong bond and loyalty will not form in people who have been raised within a selfish system.

Love is called so when it is felt towards God. Love occurs only when one seeks the highest approval of God. Otherwise, it does not exist. It only becomes technical cooperation.

God teaches us that one's wealth or children should not be more worthy than striving in the way of God and paying service for God's approval.

Because people don’t experience loving for God’s sake, their relationships often end up in pain. Happiness comes when one loves for God.

The fact that a person talks about God and Islam is not sufficient. We should be careful if he is after interests for himself or not.

When people’s interests conflict they lose their love and become a totally different, wickedly immoral person.

Since love between people has decreased so much, people are surprised to see a person loving them. All they know is love that is based on interests

One must be careful against those who will act against Muslims when they can't see any benefit for themselves. One can be friends with decent and trustworthy people.

Our brothers should be very cautious against self-seeking people. Expecting expedience is unacceptable while preaching religion, one only acts for the good pleasure of God.

There should be nothing to be called national interests. We need to strive for everyone's interests. Even if we endure difficulties, we need to strive for the happiness of others. That is what suits such a noble nation, such a noble state. Self-seeking and egotism are beneath us.

The majority of people distance themselves from religion when something doesn't suit their interests. For example, they don't get up to pray in the morning because sleeping feels better or they send away beggars instead of helping them.

It is horrible that some people ask for payment to preach Islam. Religion should be explained in a completely selfless manner.

The reason for separation is weakness in faith. If your love is for God, why would you ever leave? But if your love is for your own interests, who comes for interests would leave for interests.

Sincerity costs one a lot. One would suffer through ordeals, get tired and even get into trouble. If you are living an easy life and show interest only in things that directly affect your interests, if you protect your own interests as if you are protecting a baby, where is sincerity in this?

The interests of the country and of our nation are superior than individual interests. A Muslim defends the right at the risk of his own life.

Religion, faith, homeland and people have exalted benefits. We act according to the exalted benefits of Islam and the Qur'an.

Loving people because of their wealth is despicable behavior. Such people don’t love others, but they want to get advantage of them.
