Entertainment, joy, happiness and every beauty are the rights of Muslims.

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.

God beautified everywhere with His blessings. If one forgets God by turning a blind eye on Him, then may God forbid, He would forget him also.

Bigots claim people will go to hell if they take pleasure from the beauties of life. They deem chess, arts, music and democracy to be unlawful according to religion.

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.

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

Satan took away music, arts, science and beauty from Muslims. We have made it possible for Muslims to regain all these beauties deemed lawful by the Qur’an.

Presenting Islam as if it is a religion impossible to live by is a plot of the system of the dajjal [antichrist]. An understanding of Islam in which there is no place for music, arts and beauty is what the system of dajjal promotes.

Love of God is the most important blessing in the world. There can be no love without love of God. Nothing will have any meaning.

There is no music outside. Every person hears music inside his brain. There are only sound waves beyond us and it is the soul that perceives those waves as music. The soul has no need for electricity and sound waves to hear music. Sound waves and the electricity that reaches the brain exist merely as causes for music to form.

It is a breathtaking miracle to hear the atoms and electricity that enter into the ear in the form of speech and music with treble and bass arrangements made. Normally we would perceive the electricity that comes from the ears only as a humming sound. But we are capable of hearing it in the form of music, distinguishing the direction of sound and differences in treble and bass.

People's cruelty and ungratefulness is something God dislikes. Ungratefulness is an awful immorality. We always have to remember God’s blessings. Muslims need to remember the blessings God grants them and have profound love for God.

God creates amazing beauties. It is important to remember and be thankful for all these blessings all the time.

God protects the good people. When others try to take the blessings away from the good ones, God increases them even more.

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.

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

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.

The Existence of God means Heaven. God’s Existence cheers us up and means endless life; that is one of the most pleasing blessings.

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.

Dance and music are among the most beautiful gifts in life.

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.

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.

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

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.
