In Orthodox understanding of Islam, life means misery. They deemed everything illegal; music and television are illegal according to their understanding.

Muslims give advice to others regarding what is unlawful by religion, but do not interfere in anyone’s way of living.

The Qur'an is sufficient. A Muslim knows praying and prayer times from the details given in the Qur'an.

If women are denied their freedom, if fake bans are introduced in name of religion, the Islamic Union cannot be built. God will never give success to a misogynistic system. The key to Islamic Union is women. If you promise to build a society where women will be free, God will build the Islamic Union.

Some people, knowingly or unknowingly, drive people away from religion by introducing non-existent bans and restrictions. People should be wary of methods designed to drive people away from Islam.

What is explained in the Qur’an as legal and illegal is all there is about it. Four Islamic sects having different sets of rules, is wrong.

Islam is one religion with explicit haram and helals in Qur’an. Though sects have rules contradicting each other. God accepts the religion in Qur’an.

God reveals in the Qur’an, “Do not say about what your lying tongues describe: ‘This is lawful and this is unlawful’” (Surat an-Nahl, 116) Wearing tattoos is not unlawful.

Some who claim that music and low-cut dresses are illegal according to religion in fact make music themselves, and live with women wearing décolleté. This is insincere.

They created a religion far removed from the Qur’an. When we explain the religion in the Qur’an, they feel bewildered seeing that it contradicts their religion. The Qur’an is the only real source of religion.

Some people regard the Islam in the Qur’an, living by the Book of God without the addition of any superstition as perversion.

In an environment in which women are not free, life would be hellish and perversion would run rampant. Islam, as explained in the Qur’an is radiant; it is the light of life.

When a religion that has no place in the Qur’an is put forth, it brings about a horrifying world. That horrible world is not caused by religion, but by the superstitions they came up with themselves.

God demands us to abide by the Qur’an, not by the religion of our forefathers.

Radicalism, due to its superstitions, offers a horrible world. It is completely against the true Islam in the Holy Qur'an.

God orders us to follow the Qur'an. Some people see it as perversion. The real perversion is to follow sources other than the Qur'an.

According to Islam, there is no unforgivable sin. Once you repent and correct your mistake, you can continue your life like before.

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.

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 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 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.

Some people are talking about many superstitions yet they conceal the true miracles of our Prophet (saas). Points are accumulated spiritually against those who do that.

Concealing the miracles of our Prophet(saas) is a great offense in respect of religion and the Qur'an; it is one of the greatest mischiefs.

Entertainment, joy, happiness and every beauty are the rights of Muslims.
