Most of my friends have been with me for 25 to 30 years. My friends, moth men and women, are exemplary with their loyalty and sublime moral values.

When I love a person, it is forever. I love that person deeply as a friend in Heaven.

I never live for myself. I live for the people I love.

One of the reasons I use beautiful pictures in my books is to remind people of, and to make people see, God’s beautiful artistry.

Gold is not made unlawful in the Qur’an. There is nothing in the Qur’an that bans wearing gold. Our Prophet (saas) might have taken certain temporary economic or moral precautions at the time, but gold is not banned.

It is definitely not wrong to listen to music in Ramadan. Some people are hurting themselves by making things unlawful which God made lawful.

Our brothers and sisters can ask any questions to me. I’m only averse to the repulsive language of loveless people.

Some of my lady friends have been my friends for more than 30 years. I deeply love and respect them. I’m very protective of them.

Most of my friends have been by my side for more than 30 years. Because of their faith in God, they are still very beautiful and young even after all those years.

Believers are brothers and sisters and take care of each other like they would with their children. This is true for me and my friends.

A believer always wants to go to Heaven immediately, however, they also pray to have a long life so that they can serve God and spread His beautiful message for even a longer period of time.

God clearly explained the sins in the Qur’an. Some people make up new bans, but giving commands in the name of God, is blasphemous.

There is nothing in the Qur’an that says that people who listen to music or dance will go to hell. Bigots are turning the world into a living hell. It is wrong to ban things when God allowed them.

I will get tired if I stop serving Islam. Serving Islam makes me happier, more energetic, more committed. Serving your Loved One is the most beautiful feeling.

Our Prophet (saas) communicated religion to people from all walks of life and to all the women in the Market of Al-Ukaz. He did not shun people because of their clothes.

It is not right to see those who drink alcohol as irreligious. Of course we can tell them why it is wrong, but we will still see that person as our brother or sister.

It is horrible that some people ask for payment to preach Islam. Religion should be explained in a completely selfless manner.

Every time we meet a new person, we should have a compassionate, friendly approach. The beautiful message of God can be spread only with love and compassion.

The use of beauty and art is crucial while spreading the beautiful message of Islam. That’s why Prophet Solomon’s palace was majestic.

Drinking alcohol is wrong according to Islam. Alcohol is nothing but pure poison; there is nothing fun about poisoning oneself. Even if it was allowed by Islam, it is not something to be drunk.

Enjoining the good and forbidding the evil is a command of God to all believers.

Some people display a greedy attitude when shown kindness. This attitude is both rude and wasteful. Wasting is unlawful.

The religion that claims women should be beaten, that art should be forbidden and that joy is unlawful is not the true Islam of the Qur’an.

Listening to music, taking photos, dancing, art, science, beauty, having fun; none of those are unlawful by religion.

Modern gibi görünen koyu tutucu olan bir kesim var. Bunlar buz gibi soğuk bir din anlayışına sahiptir ve ruhlarında sanat, sevgi yoktur. Bunların güler yüzlü olduklarını, neşeli yaşadıklarını görmezsiniz. Halktan kendilerini yüksek görürler, kibirli ve ukaladırlar. Bu tipler görünürde gelenekçi ortodoks sistemi eleştirirler ama yaşadıkları hayatın soğukluğu, sevgisizliği, enaniyeti aynı şekilde dinden uzaktır. Bunların hayat felsefesi insanların neşesini boğan, hayatın güzelliklerini ellerinden alan, sözde aristokrat ama buz gibi soğuktur.
