It’s easy to defeat the inner self and the satan. Muslims are strong-willed.

Haters are people who have failed to control their lower selves and who are defeated by satan. Such people should be approached like a doctor would approach their patients. We need to treat haters by approaching them with compassion like a doctor approaches a patient. These people are spiritually ill.

Satan’s whisperings, doubts can come to mind any moment. But believers ignore them by means of their faith. One’s inner self, satan attacks the mind with thousands of doubts, groundless worries, but believers just ignore them.

There is no such thing as ‘the freedom to insult’ in any democratic country. Criticism and opinions must be expressed within the boundaries of respect.

A person who lives selfishly cannot be sincere. Only a person that lives for others can be honest and sincere.

Honesty and sincerity is crucial. Sometimes it costs a lot; it is difficult, but one has to persist in honesty and never give up.

We criticize a person only to correct his mistakes; we don’t want anyone to feel down.

Muslims cannot be criticized with inadequate information. Criticism should be done by using the appropriate verses of the Qur’an and saying that a certain behavior is wrong according to that verse.

It won’t be possible to correct people or wrong manners simply by using a criticizing language. It is easy to attain results with a positive, rational, moderate language.

As Turkey we need to use a loving language that constantly encourages the right way of behaving. It won’t be possible to attain good results with a language that constantly disagrees and criticizes.

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’.

Faith is resisting the negative suggestions of the satan. One could have doubts, but should always be on the side of and think positively about God.

Faith is to defeat the inner self, satan and the negative suggestions and to give a struggle and become victorious against those who are unscrupulous for a lifetime.

Feelings of hatred and resentment are in people’s nature. The strong will and determination that people show in defeating these feelings beautify people’s morality and make them worthy of Heaven.

I live my life according to the Qur’an. If those who criticize me could show me verses from the Qur’an as evidence for their criticisms, I would succumb immediately.

If the British Deep State attempts to oppress any of our Muslim brothers, we would not just sit around and watch. We will shake the ground within the limits of the law.

In fact, it is a grave misdeed and immorality to live thinking only about one's self.

People have a tendency towards argument and conflict. With love, there would be no basis for conflict.

People think that they will lose the respect of others when they receive criticism. This is not true. It’s important to honestly accept criticism.

I live my life the way I understand from the Qur’an. While making a criticism to a believer one should say ‘you are making a mistake according to “this” verse of the Qur’an.’ A criticism made without showing a verse from the Qur’an as evidence would have no meaning. When one says, ‘You are making a mistake according to ‘this’ verse,’ a believer would instantly heed that advice.

A righteous and honest criticism is supported but opposing merely to stir up sedition and disorder is a disgrace.

When we criticize someone, we aim to correct the ways of that person. We would not want that person to be oppressed or fade away.

A Muslim’s rank in Heaven raises with the intellectual struggle he gives against hypocrites, against satan and his lower-self.

The inner self is a mechanism that works for the interests of the body. When it gets angry, it tends to get out of control and it wants to be selfish when its interests are concerned.

Children should be educated in a fun manner, in a natural, pleasant setting. Education shouldn't bore or tire the children.
