As we dance and have fun, our hearts are always with God. It would be outrageous to suggest that God should be forgotten while having fun.

Orthodox, traditional Muslims are so convinced that women should not be free and that there should be no art, nothing beautiful, as soon as they see something pleasant, they immediately reject it.

There is nothing in the Qur’an that says that people who listen to music or dance will go to hell. Bigots are turning the world into a living hell. It is wrong to ban things when God allowed them.

Some people think it’s wrong to listen to music while talking about religion. On the contrary, religion is present in every aspect of life.

It is definitely not wrong to listen to music in Ramadan. Some people are hurting themselves by making things unlawful which God made lawful.

Europe is not against Islam. Europe is against radicalism that promotes violence, misogyny and backwardness. Europe is right to be against radicals who hate the beauty of women, cleanliness, quality, art and music. Those radicals are also against Islam.

Music, art, dance etc., they are all allowed by Islam. Some circles limit the freedom of people for no reason. Let the people live comfortably in peace, with joy. Due to their self-made and unnecessary rules, they are turning life into a living hell. Without love, arts and music, life itself becomes hellish.

Music is very nice when performed with love and passion. A cold, ceremonial performance will not have the same impact on our souls.

Even the most beautiful composition in this world, will sound dull and boring compared to the music in Heaven.

Everything in Heaven will dance whenever they like. But it will be very different to the dance in this world. The dance in Heaven will be mesmerizing, fascinating.

There will be the most beautiful, the most glorious music in Heaven. If it was possible to listen to the music of Heaven in this world, no one would ever want to hear the music in this world again.

In Heaven, there will be incredible music, breathtaking art, and exquisite tables. All these beauties are gifts for Muslims in this world, too. Muslims should be leaders in art, science, be very modern. They should enjoy beauties of life. Religion doesn't ban them from any of these.

The Islam of the companions is the true Islam. The mentality that opposes art, quality, beauty, freedom will be never successful.

Every aspect of the understanding of religion outside the Qur’an is horrible; laughing, dancing, painting, statues, music, women’s going out, children wearing shorts are all forbidden in their twisted minds. In some Islamic scholars perverse understanding, the penalty for shaving one’s beard or not performing daily prayers is death. None of those have any place in the Qur’an. The religion that they promote that has no place in the Qur’an and it turns this world into a living hell.

Listening to music, taking photos, dancing, art, science, beauty, having fun; none of those are unlawful by religion.

Those who make Turkey appear as antipathetical to art, dance and music are very wrong. Turkey is a very modern country.

Entertainment, music and dancing were shown as blessings that must be prohibited to Muslims. These worldly blessings are for Muslims.

Everything beautiful in life exists in Islam but in the bigoted understanding of religion there is no laughing, music, dancing or painting.

Listening to music and dancing are lawful in Islam and women are allowed to wear décolleté clothes in places they feel safe and are not harassed.

Listening to music and dancing is religiously lawful according to the Qur’an and women are allowed to adjust their décolleté according to the situation they are in.

Most people cannot enjoy anything. A beautiful flower or a beautiful view doesn’t excite them.

Turkish people would never accept any system that might lead to separation, such as federalism.

I risked the wrath of millions of people by pointing to the Qur’an as the sole guide. However, as long as I know something is true, I will never stop telling it.

If Muslims lived by the true Islam as described in the Qur’an, Islamic morality would quickly spread and dominate the world. As long as we continue to preach the real Islam as opposed to the bigoted understanding of Islam, Islamophobia will end and the world will happily welcome Islam.

People go to a different dimension as soon as they pass away. With death, the senses become sharper.
