I believe in the sufficiency of the Qur’an as a guide and I live my life according to the Qur’an.

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.

In the Hereafter, God will not ask us why we did not read the Qur’an in Arabic. He will ask whether we lived according to the Qur’an or not.

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.

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.

It is no one else’s business whether a person fasts or not. Everyone is responsible for him or herself. There is no compulsion in religion.

The verse in the Qur’an, “your religion is yours and my religion is mine” is the most perfect description of democracy and secularism.

There is a horrible and completely unfounded belief in the bigoted mindset that says whoever abandons religion should be killed. In the Qur’an however, there is no compulsion and everyone is free to believe or not to believe.

According to the Qur'an, there can be no compulsion in religion. One cannot force anyone to be a Muslim, but he can only advise. Pressuring people would only produce hypocrites.

God says, “There is no compulsion in religion.” This provision outlaws all kinds of impositions. A Muslim enjoins the good and then leaves the person to his own conscience.

Those who love God deeply will approach the servants of God with compassion. Such people have a good grasp of the spirit of the Qur’an and know that they should not interfere with those who do not perform their acts of worship.

Muslims give advice to others regarding what is unlawful by religion, but do not interfere in anyone’s way of living.

President Erdoğan is a sincere statesman who defends and preserves secularism.

Secularism is found in the essence of religion. The verse that reads: “Say, your religion is yours, my religion is mine” in the Qur’an describes secularism.

The best version of secularism is in the Qur’an. According to the Qur’an, everyone has freedom of thought and every faith is protected.

The verse “Your religion is yours and my religion is mine” in the Qur’an is the best summary of secularism. There is no compulsion in Islam. But there is no freedom in the system of bigotry.

We learn the most right, beautiful and sensible form of secularism by way of the Qur'an. Islam advocates secularism.

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.

"There is no compulsion where religion is concerned." This is a command of God. This is also a summary of secularism.

If the congregation in the mosque is kind, loving, compassionate people, children will love going to the mosques. The priority should be the refinement of the souls of mosque congregations.

Ataturk (founder of Turkey) was a refined Muslim. He was a man who loved and read the Qur’an.
