Aging is a difficult part of the trial in this world, but it is precious. An old person who lives with this awareness, will obtain a beautiful character.

Always thinking deeply and elaborately, and being upright, respectable and clear-headed is what befits believers.

As God has stated in the Qur’an, all the beauties of this world are for believers and in the Hereafter, they will be given exclusively to those who had faith during their life in the world.

As Muslims, our ideal is to live the spirit of Heaven as described in the Qur’an. We want to live the enthusiasm and joy of this spirit.

Believers always think broadly.

Believers do not approach each other haughtily; they are compassionate and merciful towards one another.

Both the life of this world and death are pleasant for Muslims.

Christians are the People of the Book and Muslims are ordered in the Qur’an to love and treat them with kindness and compassion.

Declaring someone an unbeliever is a trap set by satan. Anyone who says “God is One and Prophet Mohammad (saas) is His Messenger” is a Muslim.

Elderly people should live with their loved ones and families, not in nursing homes.

The secret to anti-aging is faith. God gives strength, health and liveliness to one who loves Him sincerely.

The soul does not age. Putting an age limit on love and friendship between two people is a very wrong point of view.

Elderly people acquire lots of good deeds. They have a lot of possibilities to show their patience as an act of worship and thus attain the approval of our Lord.

People may feel a hole in their lives when they retire. They must be guided in a way that they remain useful for both themselves and society.

Religion would not destroy one's life. Religion gives joy to life. When people are religious they become lively, joyous and full of life. Since the traditionalist understanding of Islam preaches the opposite of this, people regard being religious as being introverted and as forfeiting life. When that is the case, they wait to get older to start practicing religion. They think; ‘When I get older I will not enjoy life anyway, so I won’t be losing anything while practicing religion.” Actually religion is practiced both while young and while old. Delaying the practice of religion to one’s old age is a delusion caused by the traditionalist understanding of Islam.

Flesh cannot stand the test of time but the soul remains young and full of life: Souls don't get old.

If our brothers and sisters act maturely, if they have their hearts in the right place they will see that everything will be at ease. If they remove fear upon people, if they create such a mature environment there will be no need for any kind of restriction.

A believer considers serving Islam as a blessing but hypocrites don’t want to serve Islam. They follow their own evil religious law. Living alone, being stingy and feckless, leading an aimless, vain life, any act of moral turpitude and lying are all acceptable in the evil religious understanding of hypocrites.

A believer could never understand the spirit of a hypocrite or an unbeliever. It is a way of life that believers do not know and would never understand.

A believer who lives according to the moral values of the Qur’an is responsible to protect others like his own children. This is the system of guardianship in Islam.

A believer who strictly adheres to the Qur’an would never be unhappy or withdrawn.

A calming tone is always right. One needs to correct every provocative sentence, invite people to mildness and be moderate.

A careful person can detect malevolent people from their negative energy. When hypocrites walk into a place, their negativity is sensed immediately.

A compassionate person does not have prejudice or show bias against people. Being prejudiced is ignorance and vulgarity.

A cultivated person of high quality would never associate himself with prejudice.
