I wish for people who are on the wrong path to correct their ways and not get deeper in their errors so that they are won over. To correct those who are on the wrong path, I respond to misdeeds with good. My tone is always reconciliatory and compassionate. I want to win over people I criticize, not humiliate them.

Our Prophet (pbuh) did not bring any command of his own besides those in the Qur'an. The sunnah (practice) of our Prophet is the Qur'an.

Only the soul of the Qur'an makes real freedom possible. Right now there is no real freedom throughout the world in the true sense of the word.

The Qur'an is clear. Commands in the Qur'an can be clearly understood both by a professor and an illiterate person. Religion is clear, not by implication. Trying to bring forth new forbidden (unlawful) issues even though they don't exist in the Qur'an is an idolatrous mindset.

Four different schools of Islam make contradictory statements re lawful and unlawful. One religious scholar opposes the other. Islam is one and exists in the Qur'an.

While criticizing a Muslim, one should say 'This is so and so according to this verse of the Qur'an'. Otherwise there is no error to criticize.

There are very important secrets in the Qur'an. Very few people accept the sincere, honest life described in the Qur'an.

The hypocrites used to try to circumvent our Prophet (pbuh) in their twisted minds. The revelation of the Qur’an is a blessing for people in every aspect. But in their twisted minds, the hypocrites constantly look for flaws in the Qur’an instead of seeing these blessings and beauties.

One should always approach Islam and the Qur’an with good intentions. One should always think of siding with God.

It is not possible to create a work similar to the Qur’an, not only in respect of science and meaning, but also in the literary sense either.

The social order the Qur’an brings is perfect. There are very comprehensive analyses about the hypocrites and unbelievers. The Qur’an brings relief for all humanity.

My friends unconditionally abide by the Qur'an and heed God's commands. The Qur’an is the life of Muslims. We invite everyone to the Qur’an.

We learn the most right, beautiful and sensible form of secularism by way of the Qur'an. Islam advocates secularism.

When we criticize someone, we aim to correct the ways of that person. We would not want that person to be oppressed or fade away.

A righteous and honest criticism is supported but opposing merely to stir up sedition and disorder is a disgrace.

Democratic struggle; even with harshest words or opposition is acceptable. But firing at civilians can never be accepted.

A Muslim feels pleased by being criticized and corrects his mistakes. A hypocrite, on the other hand, gets paralyzed when they are criticized.

Self-criticism is crucial to prevent arrogance. If one thinks of himself as immune to mistakes, he’s already fallen into satan’s trap; self-criticism is a remedy. God forbid, those who refrain from it will only hurt themselves.

Criticism should always be constructive and include a solution. It’s important to point to solutions that will help people.

Blind, angry criticism is very wrong. Criticism is necessary, but it should be done to help, not to humiliate.

It is quite natural for a Muslim to make a mistake. People should not be afraid of making mistakes. Even if it is a big mistake, it can be solved by giving advice. But reacting angrily to advice is not normal. You could say, "Okay, I will consider this. May God bless you. I will try my best." That's it. But angry overreaction to advice is abnormal behavior.

Of course, a believer should be open to advice. A Muslim might make a mistake, there is nothing wrong with this but he should always pay heed to advice of others: In other words, a Muslim shouldn't be arrogant, disrespectful and snobbish, right? Even though he won't follow the advice, he should politely listen to it within the limits of the Qur'an and say, "I will try hard to do so."

Criticisms brought to a Muslim should be with the Qur’an. Instead of talking according to one’s own mentality, it is important to cricitize by saying ‘this is the case according to this verse of the Qur’an’.

The fact that the US administration hasn’t employed a solid anti-coup tone since the July 15th coup attempt projects an image that they don’t pay any attention to this issue.

People who lack love, whose hearts are full of hatred, who are ruthless and merciless are the ones who have lost all their humane values.
