A person may have done many mistakes before he practices religion. It is not right to suffer due to these mistakes according to the Qur'an.

There is a false understanding that after becoming religious, a person needs to lose his joy of life, become dull and quiescent. Religion gives a person liveliness and vitality. A person becomes ten or a thousand times livelier than before with religion.

The Qur’an is valid until the Day of Judgment. There is no verse which was annulled later.

The entirety of the Qur'an is valid till the Day of Judgment. There is no verse that is abolished in the Qur'an.

The provisions of the Qur'an are valid until the Day of Judgment. Those who allege that the verses about mercy and compassion have been annulled commit a great persecution. Claiming that the verses about love and mercy had been annulled, some bigots ban approaching Christians with compassion. None of the verses the Qur'an had been annulled. God decrees us to approach the People of the Book with compassion and mercy.

People have a wrong understanding of religion. They assume pious people become introverted and lose their joy. That is not being religious. One becomes lively and joyful with religion and faith in God. Believers are extraverted and full of life.

Mr. Trump should give priority to spirituality. He should carry out activities to strengthen the religiousness of the US. He should convene with Muslim religious scholars.

The Holy Qur’an doesn't allow the mistreatment of women.

It is a command of the Qur'an that believers love believers and are united as a community.

Widely acknowledged hadith reference books like Bukhari and Muslim include non-Qur'anic orders like killing people who shave or drink alcohol. In order to end violence, it is crucial that such non-Qur'anic orders are immediately removed from hadith books.

In the roots of traditionalist Islam there lies misinterpretation of the verses open to interpretation. The clear judgments in the Qur'an prescribe the decrees.

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.

Some people think the pious should be detached from life. According to this mindset they can enjoy life while the devout must be withdrawn.

There is no license to beat women in the Qur’an. Our Prophet (pbuh) held women in high esteem.

God says that He explained everything in the Qur'an. Those who reject the Qur'an as a sufficient guide are defying God’s words. "We have sent the Book down to you to explain everything, and for guidance and mercy, and as good news for Muslims." Qur’an, 16: 89

It is not right to advise 'not to remember God' at times when we have fun and enjoy ourselves. A religious person remembers God and speaks about God wherever he is or whatever he does.

Some people wrongly think that religion should be practiced later in life. On the contrary, religion should be practiced as soon as one attains the age of reason. My friends devoted their entire youth to God.

We are religious, devout people and we always talk about God everywhere we go.

It’s good that Trump has the ideal of bringing back the old American dream, which means the US will be religious as it was before.

There was a mistaken idea that religious people should not enjoy luxuries, or live beautiful lives. That was a plan to suffocate Muslims. We put an end to that.

Bigots are driving people away from religion with rules that are not in the Qur'an. For example, there is no headscarf in the Qur'an. But ladies are supposed to wear hijab only if they feel unsafe, and only until the danger is gone.

Claiming that Islam is founded on only five pillars is not right. Islam commands the observation of all the verses in the Qur’an.

The religiousness of the American people is very nice. They have receded from their old moral values. Trump should try to build a religious America, if he can. Religiousness is a beauty and a blessing. Becoming religious once again would bring plenty and abundance to the American people.

Due to my love for God, I deeply love every pious, pure woman I see because I see them as manifestations of God.

Most people who support the theory of evolution support the theory without knowing anything about evolution, fossils or protein formation.
