Death is like waking up from a lucid dream. Once awake, the person is in the Hereafter and there will be no coming back.

When the time of death comes for believers, their life will be taken very smoothly, without any difficulty for them.

It is surprising that some people live without thinking about God. Young people assume they will never die and this leads them to a state of heedlessness.

In many verses of the Qur’an, God mentions the existence of various realms. "Say: ´My prayer and my rites, my living and my dying, are for God alone, the Lord of all the worlds.” Qur'an, 1:162

God creates hardships, illnesses and weaknesses to make people reflect deeply and love Him.

Some people forget about aggrieved Muslims all over the world and fall into blindness by making excuses of worries of making a living. This is relentlessness. Those who fall into blindness worrying over making a living forget that they will leave everything behind with death. They are sort of in a race of blindness.

Hypocrites want to pull Muslims away from remembering God by making them fall into blindness. They are adrift in blindness despite the fact that time of death is so close. “Mankind’s Reckoning has drawn very close to them, yet they heedlessly turn away.” (Qur’an, 21/1)

Every man dies at the time preordained in destiny by God. This is the truth that never changes.

Man is created as very weak. One can die in an instant because of a flu or a sudden decrease in blood pressure.

People don't like the fact that everything is fleeting in this world, because it is in human nature to desire the Hereafter, the eternal. However, death helps people focus on God and the real life in the Hereafter. That’s the reason behind death.

God purposefully created the world with so many shortcomings and negativities so that man can be tested. As a part of this test, man has constant needs and has to fight countless ailments. Yet, God also created cures and medications.

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.

People go to a different dimension as soon as they pass away. With death, the senses become sharper.

Satan is an important part of people’s test. Satan will continue to try to sway people until their death.

Some try to use diseases and death as an argument for the non-existence of God. People with weak intelligence fall into this trap God creates evidence that only intelligent people can notice but those with weak intelligence fall into His trap.

Fasting in Ramadan helps people realize their weakness, calms excessive feelings inside and helps thinking about God deeply as a lenient person.

It’s a miracle that people can feel arrogant when they are in fact created so weak, with so many needs. This is a part of the trial of the life of this world.

Those movies containing violence cause spiritual destruction. They also put a strain on the nerves. Since humans are weak, frail creatures, it causes a great deal of stress on them. It causes stress even as people watch that movie. It leads to sickness. People should stay away from such movies.

Believers should always be cheerful. Humans are created weak and such a being cannot afford to feel grief; that would destroy him.

Muslims do not get offended with each other. The heart of a Muslim is always together with God. The world is a short, temporary course, a place of education; this is no place to make a name for oneself, to claim to be superior, to claim to be intelligent and so forth. When observed from outer space, the world looks like a speck of dust. Go further and you cannot even see it anymore. Mankind is only a particle within the speck of dust. A pitiful creature indeed. So from where comes this arrogance? We will soon be dead and gone.

Arrogance is a type of mental illness. Those who are unable to realize their own weaknesses and still act arrogantly cannot be considered as reasonable beings.

Cemeteries, hospitals and places that represent weaknesses and the difficulties of this world are like religious schools that can help people avoid being consumed by the life of this world.

Human body is created weak and open to many diseases. This is part of the trial in this world.

When love is lost, it brings down all beauties. Cars, houses are all go and nothing will look beautiful anymore including human beauty.

Turkey should be a very modern country. This is one of the most important issues. Ministry of Art and Quality should be set up.
