Ending violence using violence is the method of the dajjal. According to Islam evil should be ended by goodness, lovelessness by love, irrationality by wisdom.

If Muslims lived by the true Islam as described in the Qur’an, Islamic morality would quickly spread and dominate the world. As long as we continue to preach the real Islam as opposed to the bigoted understanding of Islam, Islamophobia will end and the world will happily welcome Islam.

According to Islam, wealth should not be accumulated or money should not kept hidden away. As a matter of fact, spending money and charity boosts economy.

Deep thinking is critical in Islam. It is important to recite God’s names by knowing and thinking about their meanings.

Another beauty of Islam is that it changes one’s personality for the better. In Islam, the stingy become generous, the timid become brave.

Some people think that being religious will make them recluses. On the contrary, Islam is life; Islam breathes life to people.

According to those who don't abide by the Qur'an, it's illegæal to "take photos, dance, read poetry or cut one's beard." These are not in the Qur'an.

God says that He will accept the repentance of an idolater or a hypocrite, whoever repents. One needs to refrain from using language that abandons hope of God’s Mercy.

It would not be compliant with the Qur’an for a person to be worried about the future. A person who worries about the future shows that he imagines that there is a force other than God forgetting that everything is under the command of God; and that would be idolatry. Idolatry is ascribing partners to God and is a grave sin.

Every time God’s Name is remembered, one’s heart would find relief. You say ‘Allah-u Akbar” you see that you are under the protection of that Infinitely Great Power and you have a clear mind freed from all the daily troubles. When you remember God’s Name Akbar all the troubles would leave you. When you forget that God is Great, all troubles would heap on you. You say Subhan Allah, you think that God is above all sorts of deficiencies and shortage. Some people seek refuge in God but they – may God forbid- imagine that His Power is missing. God never gets tired, never sleeps, never gets bored. Knowing that God is above all sorts of deficiencies and shortage is a great comfort. You say Alhamdulillah, you feel relief when you thank God and the blessings bestowed on you would increase. You say Astagfirullah, you seek refuge in God’s Mercy and that is a great beauty.

Saying “You do this and I will bear your burden, the responsibility would be mine,” is something done by those who do not know. A person who attaches importance to religion would never use such a language. According to the Qur’an, no soul would ever bear another’s burden. “No burden-bearer can bear another´s burden. If someone weighed down calls for help to bear his load, none of it will be borne for him, even by his next of kin. You can only warn those who fear their Lord in the Unseen and establish salat(prayers). Whoever is purified, is purified for himself alone. Allah is your final destination.” (Surah Fatir, 19)

One shouldn't say to someone who mended his ways, his intentions, "You are a hypocrite; you have always been a hypocrite." If he shed himself of his hypocrisy, then we should take their final disposition as basis. It is a good thing, you should be happy about him. If you are going to talk about the past, what kind of person were you? You were not aware of religion or faith either; God put you on the true path. When a person mends his ways, he is accepted. If God accepts him, then you have no other choice.

One makes a mistake, commits a sin and throws himself, he suffers. This is not what God wants from you. He simply says "repent and go on with your life." He doesn't say, "Cast yourself down, devastate yourself." Such are abnormal acts; such are the acts of the idolaters. In the end God is the One Who makes you do that mistake. There is good in that. You simply will not repeat it and that is it. You will make up your mind, won't do it again.

One says ,"When I make a mistake, my good conscience disturbs me, it makes me unable to breath." That stems from letting Satan suffocate you. Why is there the need for that, my brother? You simply put your trust in God and that is it, you repent to God. What does repentance mean? You hope God will accept your repentance. Then, what does being suffocated mean? That would mean that you do not trust God. If you've made a mistake, you've made the mistake in your destiny. Did you decide to never to do it again? You did. If you are determined about this, that takes care of it.

When in comfort, they unite against God in wide masses and rebel against God almost worldwide. When they are crushed, they pray to God and beg. What is the need for that crushing? Do not do that, be wise, repent. Be thankful to God and say, “O Lord, You are Great, I do love You so much” and see that God would make blessings rain down on you. Why are you looking for trouble? Why do you go astray and run riot? Why do you crush yourself?

One should look at everything with compassion, mercy and through the eyes of reason and he should be calming. We are being tested in this short life on this world. Some people might yield to their lower-selves. But one would not be abandoning religion when he does so, he would just be committing a sin and making a mistake that is all.

The mentality that states "I am the only one acting as God commanded, the others are sinners," is very wrong.

We don't want any dissident voices to be silenced. An abundance of dissident voices is the beauty of democracy.

Children should be disciplined with love, with compassion, with kind words. Otherwise, they could be negatively affected on a subconscious level.

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.

Pains, ordeals and patience in the face of these difficulties actually refine and improve people. People who have had no difficulty in life, will be insensitive and thoughtless.

I never adopt a destructive tone towards anyone. Although I don't agree with them on many things, I still respect people with traditional orthodox beliefs and I won’t stay silent if they are mistreated.

Patience may seem tiring at first. Yet it makes Muslims more healthy both spiritually and physically and gives them strength and energy.

There will be difficult days ahead, but the end will be great. Turkey is a blessed country.

No miracle will compel people to believe in God; people will always have a choice. The miracles Prophet Jesus showed also didn't compel people to believe; people there could have come up with an explanation not to believe it, if they wanted to.
