Everyone must read the Qur’an in their own language. Reading the Qur’an in Arabic is not an obligation but living according to the Qur’an is an obligation. Therefore, everyone should understand its meaning.

President Trump’s meeting with traditional opinion leaders will not make a big difference. He should directly follow the spirit of the Qur’an, the Mahdi movement.

Secularism is best explained in Islam and the Qur’an. The commandment in the Qur’an that reads “your religion is yours and my religion is mine” is the best application of secularism.

We are obliged to perfect ourselves both spiritually and physically. The spirit of the Qur'an requires beautifying everything.

Sectarian divides cause serious tension between Muslims. We should all follow the Qur'an like in the time of our Prophet (pbuh).

The biggest problem of the Islamic world right now is the sectarian separation between Muslims. We should follow the Qur'an and end this division.

There is no command in the Qur'an that says women without a headscarf will go to hell. This is a superstition that arose due to misinformation.

If Muslims lived by the true Islam as described in the Qur’an, Islamic morality would quickly spread and dominate the world. As long as we continue to preach the real Islam as opposed to the bigoted understanding of Islam, Islamophobia will end and the world will happily welcome Islam.

When Prophet Jesus (pbuh) comes, he will follow the Qur’an. He will follow the unaltered parts of Torah and Gospel that are in compliance with the Quran.

One should live according to the Qur’an, rather than only memorize it. At our Prophet’s time, there were some scribes, and they memorized the revelation but they still turned out to be hypocrites.

The sect of our Prophet (saas) was the Qur’an. It will be like that at the time of the Mahdi, as well.

The Qur’an ensures social justice for everyone. In the guardianship system described in the Qur’an, everyone is taken care of.

The important thing is to think about and understand the meaning of the Qur’an. Those who consider themselves superior to others because of their ability to speak Arabic are wrong.

Speaking Arabic is not a requisite for interpreting the Qur’an correctly and for fully abiding by the Qur’an. Had speaking Arabic been a necessity, millions of Arabs would be the best at it. What is important is to attain sincere and profound faith. That is only possible with facts leading to faith and with faith attained through reason.

It is important to know and communicate the meaning of the Qur’an. Our people will not understand when Qur’an is read in Arabic.

When they talk about religion they assume that it is all about memorizing the verses, knowing the Qur'an by heart and reciting the verses with tajwid, being careful about idgham (merging). Actually the essence and the wisdom in the Qur'an is what is important. I mean putting the meaning in the Qur'an into practice is important, not reciting the Qur'an by being careful with idgham and qalqalah (adding a slight bounce or reduced vowel sound). Arabs can do that effortlessly in the best manner, but there are also a lot of them who do not put those verses into life, into practice.

Mahdi (pbuh) is the only scholar who doesn't speak Arabic; he is the only scholar at all times. There is no other scholar who doesn't speak Arabic. They all speak Arabic perfectly. Our Prophet (saas) says this specifically for him. He says; "Mahdi doesn't speak Arabic." And this is true only for him. That is a miracle.

All the past renovators (Mujaddids) up until Hazrat Mahdi spoke Arabic. Only Mahdi (pbuh) will not speak Arabic but he will be the one to make the Qur'an prevail in the whole world, insha'Allah.

All the world will learn to speak Turkish. Mahdi (pbuh) will not speak Arabic. So the world will learn to speak Turkish so that they can communicate with Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) insha'Allah.

Because the traditional orthodox understanding of Islam has shown prayer (salat) as if it is too complicated to perform, many stay away from prayer.

Sales assistants should be treated kindly and with respect. Treating them like they are robots is very disrespectful.

Darwinism/materialism are sinister threats that have silently ruined the world, but many people couldn’t see it. The most dangerous side of it is that it pretends to be scientific.

Every intellectual blow to Darwinism is a source of joy for all believers.

Everyone that is capable of love and is sincere, is my brother or sister.

Traffic should be taken underground. It would alleviate the burden on the city.
