Bigoted people are mostly very obtuse and very dull. The children of many bigoted people live a modern life. For instance their daughters mostly do not cover their hair. Many of them do not have any religious friends. That stems from a reaction against lack of quality. Actually had they seen high quality people around them, they wouldn't engage in such an abnormal behavior.

They misrepresent Islam as such an intricate, such a difficult and hard religion and they show the understanding of quality in Muslims'lives as such a sheepish, such a deficient life that it seems like –may Allah forbid- a living Hell to people. Why do you not present Islam like Paradise as it actually is, why do you not present an ambiance like that of Paradise, a manner like reminds Paradise?

If someone says; "I've been preaching but Islam is not spreading around," that person should look for the mistake in him. It means that his way lacks quality.

The main problem in front of spreading of Islam, in people not accepting Islam is lack of quality. There is no other reason.

Our Prophet (saas) was a very high quality person. His teeth were squeaky-clean. That for instance is a quality. He was smelling clean and sweet. He used the highest quality perfume. He wore the highest quality clothes for the time, for that age. His addressing was high quality, the sentences he selected were high quality. His gait was high quality, the way he sat, the way he stood up were high quality. The way he ate was high quality. Quality prevailed all around him.

Quality unburdens one's heart. It delights a person. Quality is one of the most important adornments of life. When quality is lost, one would withdraw into himself.

It would be amazing if love were to prevail in the region. In love people's lives would be prolonged. Their gayety would increase, their health and welfare would increase.

The Messenger of Allah (saas) has always been very cheerful, Hazrat Ali (ra) has always been cheerful. Mourning is a custom remnant from the pagan faith.

We are celebrating our faith and Allah's creating us as servants every single day. I mean there is a celebration every single day. Every single day we celebrate the joy we have for being Muslims, for being from the Ummah of our Prophet (saas).

Allah created us in a way to be cheerful.

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is a cheerful person. He is from the line of the Prophet David (pbuh) and his voice is beautiful just like the Prophet David (pbuh).

We see good in everything. Joy and happiness is the characteristic of a Muslim. A weak, weeping mindset would be unbecoming for a Muslim.

Women are very sensitive, they are very easily offended. They might get sad easily or have apprehensions. They should be taken care of in a very alert manner. For instance the slightest coldness in one’s face might offend her, might make her unsettled.

Being the headmost one in compassion, in mercy, in decency, in cleanliness, in being the one that wears the most beautiful attires, that eats the most beautiful food, that distributes the most, that is the most just, the one that applies social justice in the most perfect manner is the characteristic of a Muslim.

It is possible to calm down even the most furious person with love and kindness. A society could be calmed down very nicely if they are angry and enraged. But it is not possible to calm down society by shouting and screaming, by bullying, by making a fuss, by threatening or by radicalism.

Making jokes and speaking in a mocking tone is not acceptable while talking about God and religion. Religion cannot be made a topic of entertainment.

Religion and sacred values can never be a matter of mockery. People can make jokes on ordinary daily issues, but we do not want anyone making jokes about religion. I mean making jokes in matters that would offend 90 percent of the country is not acceptable.

If you act rudely, you lose love. If you behave kindly, you gain love. If one is egotistical, he loses love; if he acts in a self-sacrificing manner, love will come back instantly and it will come back even stronger.

Of course, a believer should be open to advice. A Muslim might make a mistake, there is nothing wrong with this but he should always pay heed to advice of others: In other words, a Muslim shouldn't be arrogant, disrespectful and snobbish, right? Even though he won't follow the advice, he should politely listen to it within the limits of the Qur'an and say, "I will try hard to do so."

Where there are women, no quarrels, no tensions exist; only kindness. And usually there is rudeness where there are no women. People assume a polite attitude in the company of women, even if there is a single woman [present]. Women bring politeness, kindness wherever they go.

It is unacceptable to make jokes about religion and faith. Those who do such jokes are weak in faith.

Muslims are meticulous and reverent on topics related to religion and faith. Making jokes on religious topics is not proper.

There can be no joke regarding religious issues. A Muslim is obliged to reflect on his state at death bed and his state in the Hereafter.

The natural weaknesses of human beings should not be used to make jokes.

If a dirty spot is formed somewhere, when you put a vacuum cleaner on top of it, it would clear it all and make it all clean. It would scrub the place clean. The unity of Islam would clean everything as well. So ask for the unity of Islam, ask for the system of the Mahdi.
