Irreligious people also have concepts of virtue, family, goodness because they learn it from religion. Religion reigns in society.

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.

Performing prayers (salat) turns people into noble and precious beings. There are only a few things declared unlawful by God; all else is lawful and acceptable in religion.

Prophets cannot render anything lawful or unlawful outside the Qur’an. Our Prophet’s (saas) sunnah is the Qur’an.

The commandments in the Qur’an are very open and clear. Lawful and unlawful acts are explicit and easy to understand.

We understand that an action is religiously lawful in Islam, if there is no explicit statement in the Qur’an deeming that action unlawful.

90% of our youngsters share our ideas. Our lifestyle is lawful according to the Qur’an. Showing the world that Muslims can lead free and high quality lives according to the Qur’an will take away all pressures on Muslims.

There are very few unlawful acts defined in the Qur’an. Acts not defined as unlawful in the Qur’an are deemed lawful.

In the Qur’an, there is no verse stating that painting or sculpture is unlawful. That is why both paintings and sculptures are religiously lawful.

Those who make up rules declaring things which are not revealed in the Qur’an, lawful or unlawful are lying in the name of God.

Those who lie in God’s name made it impossible to live by religion. Most of them do not practice their own lies and those who do live in pain.

Taking ablution and performing prayers is very easy according to the Qur’an. Complicating prayers and ablution is a plot devised by the satan to keep people away from performing prayers. All sects add arbitrary, made-up sunnah and obligatory conditions to perform prayers, on their own. They all contradict with one another even about lawful and unlawful acts. Lawful and unlawful acts according to Islam are defined solely by the Qur’an. There is no such thing as performing prayers and taking ablution differently according to each sect. How to take ablution and perform prayers are defined in the Qur’an and they both are easy to perform.

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.

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

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.

There were no schools of law in Islam at the Prophet Muhammad (saas)’s time. Now there are four different schools with four different unlawful and lawful rules. They’ve created four different religions.

By implication, one can’t derive decrees from the Qur'an. God reveals the lawful and unlawful deeds by means of precise verses.

Islam is one religion with explicit haram and helals in Qur’an. Though sects have rules contradicting each other. God accepts the religion in Qur’an.

What is explained in the Qur’an as legal and illegal is all there is about it. Four Islamic sects having different sets of rules, is wrong.

If women are denied their freedom, if fake bans are introduced in name of religion, the Islamic Union cannot be built. God will never give success to a misogynistic system. The key to Islamic Union is women. If you promise to build a society where women will be free, God will build the Islamic Union.

Four different schools of Islam make contradictory statements re lawful and unlawful. One religious scholar opposes the other. Islam is one and exists in the Qur'an.

We are a modern, secular, enlightened, democratic community that takes everything beautiful as a basis, that demands what is elegant and high-quality, that are keen on what is lawful and what is not.

Since we abide by the Qur'an and are scrupulous about what is lawful and what is not, we are the enlightened bright face of Islam.

Rendering judgment in the name of God and inventing new lawful and unlawful acts in the name of God means ascribing partners to God and that is why bigots are also idolaters.

Since they don’t abide by the Qur’an, they form four different sets of what is lawful and unlawful, that is to say sects, and then ostracize each other. Religion is one, not four.
