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

A Muslim is clean, reasonable, rational, well-groomed.

Muslims aim to save morally collapsed, hateful and spiritually stricken people. The struggle for their salvation is a religious duty. While preaching Islam, Muslims give priority to people who don't know about Islam and who are under the influence of satan.

Islam means modernity, high quality and love. Muslims are very well kept; they laugh and have fun to the fullest as they like. Those who claim otherwise are wrong.

Coming up with an understanding of Islam devoid of joy, arts and beauties was a plot played by the satan to put an end to Islam- May God forbid the thought. We thwarted that plot.

Mindlessly, they forbid Muslims from laughing, however, all Muslims live by the joy and happiness of faith.

One must be careful against those who will act against Muslims when they can't see any benefit for themselves. One can be friends with decent and trustworthy people.

Muslims should be dignified and sensible and shouldn't follow non-Qur’anic trends. Instead they should be an example to others with their integrity.

Love, entertainment, beauty, friendship exist in Islam in its best form.

Bigots' life away from art, quality, entertainment and beauty causes Muslims to be oppressed even though they don't realise it.

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.

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’.

Unhappiness, sadness and sorrow are not a characteristic of Muslims but of unbelievers. Muslims are happy and joyful because of their faith.

Laughing, having fun is a beautiful blessing. All the prophets were very cheerful.

A Muslim is never timid. He is brave, determined and persevering.

Muslims continue their intellectual struggle by maintaining their personality, faith and determination among hypocrites and unbelievers.

The true Islam in the Qur’an brings true love, refinement, elegance, quality, happiness, joy and beauty.

Everyone wants and looks for beauty. Islam is everything that is beautiful. Arts, quality way of living, decency, joy, happiness, all are embedded in Islam. Misrepresenting Islam as if it stands off from beauties is outright insincerity.

Some who claim that music and low-cut dresses are illegal according to religion in fact make music themselves, and live with women wearing décolleté. This is insincere.

They used to show Muslims as tasteless, joyless people with crude understanding. We nullified those lies with our existence.

Some people want to draw Turkish people into an environment removed from quality, joy and arts like Syria, Iraq. For them it’s all about remaining alive, they want to live like an organism. This is not the life God wants for us. Love, beauty, quality and joy are essential in life.

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

According to those who don't abide by the Qur'an, it's illegæal to "take photos, dance, read poetry or cut one's beard." These are not in the Qur'an.

In Orthodox understanding of Islam, life means misery. They deemed everything illegal; music and television are illegal according to their understanding.

Alcohol causes great destruction. It poisons the body and the metabolism tries to get rid of it as soon as possible.
