President Trump’s meeting with traditional opinion leaders will not make a big difference. He should directly follow the spirit of the Qur’an, the Mahdi movement.

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.

Most people stay away from performing prayers because bigots portray it like it is a difficult practice. On the contrary, it is very easy and brings happiness. Turning prayer/ablution into difficult practices, is satan’s plot. Allah explains ablution in one verse in Qur’an. But some people write 300-page books explaining it.

Our traditional orthodox brothers/sisters are almost suffocating themselves with fabricated rules. They made themselves an easy target for the disbelief system.

Young people are offered two options; either a conservative, orthodox world or a cold, distant socialist world. Therefore, they don't realize that there is another option, which is the loving, free, happy, pleasant life offered by Islam as described in the Qur’an.

Some people are prejudiced against religion because they’ve seen the horrors of the bigoted mindset. However, true religion is the opposite of that.

Salat (prayer) is a religious obligation that must be performed at certain, designated times of the day.

Some people confuse the dark world of radicalism with true religion and try to defend it. It is not what God wants. True Islam is the opposite of radicalism.

The majority of our conservative, orthodox brothers are taken aback when they hear that the Qur’an is enough as the source of religion. They should cling to the Qur’an, without having any doubts that it is the sole guide. The Qur’an is sufficient as a guide. Everything is explained in the Qur’an. Saying anything to the contrary would be a sin.

Some rightist, traditionalist people condemn themselves to a very difficult life for no reason. This is not what God wants.

God commands how to take ablution with one verse in the Qur’an and it is very easy. The bigots on the other hand, come up with 600 pages of made-up rules about ablution that differs in each school of Islam. Looking at these made up rules, some people say that they won’t be able to take ablution and perform prayers. The understanding of religion that is outside the Qur’an causes people to remain distant to Islam.

All my friends perform their daily prayers five times every day and are very meticulous about their prayers.

In many verses of the Qur’an, God mentions the existence of various realms. "Say: ´My prayer and my rites, my living and my dying, are for God alone, the Lord of all the worlds.” Qur'an, 1:162

Many practices that are not in the Qur’an are invented to keep people away from prayer. They are used as a barrier before religion. Millions are prevented from practicing faith by means of invented practices that have no place in the Qur’an.

Buddhism is a corrupt version of true religion. Acts of worship like prayer, fasting and giving alms exist in Buddhism, though in a changed form.

Performing prayers is a very old form of worship. All tribes throughout history prayed throughout history. This is also seen on cave paintings.

It's so fine that there are devout Orthodox, Jews and Muslims in Russia. It would be so fine to see synagogues and churches to be full of devout people.

Atheists are frustrated with the superstitions introduced by traditional orthodox system. The bright spirit of the Qur’an must be told to them.

Many people live alone in misery due to pressure from society and the traditional orthodox system. They cannot experience love at all.

In the Hereafter, God will not ask us why we did not read the Qur’an in Arabic. He will ask whether we lived according to the Qur’an or not.

Sales assistants should be treated kindly and with respect. Treating them like they are robots is very disrespectful.

Darwinism/materialism are sinister threats that have silently ruined the world, but many people couldn’t see it. The most dangerous side of it is that it pretends to be scientific.

Every intellectual blow to Darwinism is a source of joy for all believers.

Everyone that is capable of love and is sincere, is my brother or sister.

Traffic should be taken underground. It would alleviate the burden on the city.
