If Turkey becomes very modern, where arts excel and women are free, the whole world will be friendlier towards Turkey.

Misogynists who seek to keep ladies from wearing modern clothes are oppressive not only towards them, but towards children as well.

Radicals are so predisposed to hate the arts, music and happiness that they cannot bring themselves to accept the fact that Islam champions these blessings. Radical men believe that they deserve freedom and having fun, but cannot accept that women have the same rights as well.

We want a world in which all women – both those wearing jilbab (full covering) or revealing clothes - are respected highly.

What really disturbs those loveless people and causes their jealousy is not the way my friends dress, but the profound love and loyalty they have for me.

Some people post their revealing photos with the verses of the Qur’an next to them. This is not something I approve of.

Some who claim that music and low-cut dresses are illegal according to religion in fact make music themselves, and live with women wearing décolleté. This is insincere.

My woman friends who prefer décolleté in the show are very important in terms of women's rights. I have many friends I've known for 30 years.

People from all walks of life support and love us, including ladies with headscarves, and those with modern clothes. They’re all great people.

A country in which women are oppressed cannot be affluent. Women should be free everywhere and should be able to go out in a chador or in revealing clothes, as they like. Women should be held in high esteem wherever they go.

It is crucial to show that women will be respected no matter what they choose to wear.

Ladies should be treated equally and with respect, no matter what they wear, be it headscarves, or modern, revealing clothes.

Life will be beautiful when ladies feel free, when they are not frowned upon for being beautiful and well groomed.

Protecting a woman, respecting and loving her and making her feel what a superior being she is, is both a blessing and a joy. It is important not to bother women with words or with stares.

The most important thing in interacting with ladies is guarding their honor, and dignity. Saying even a single word that might offend her is an unacceptable.

There should be a race among men to respect women. That is the extent of the respect women deserve.

People cannot appreciate and love God as much as they should. As a result, they cannot appreciate ladies, too, although ladies are the most beautiful ornaments in this world.

Only if ladies are seen as gifts from God, ladies can live truly comfortably and safe and be shown the respect they deserve. Feminism and other similar pursuits cannot ensure that.

In many countries of the world, ladies are frowned upon for being well-groomed & wearing fashionable clothes and being attractive. They even make ridiculous assumptions about the ladies because of that.

Due to a mistaken belief that ‘natural’ looks better, ladies are prevented from being beautiful. Ladies become more beautiful with make-up and with beautiful clothes.

Society must be educated to learn love and respect for women.

It is only natural that there is opposition to sincere believers. It would be strange for believers if there were no hypocrites or dajjal [antichrist].

Today is the 57th anniversary of Said Nursi’s demise: May God shower him with His blessings. May God allow us to be brothers with Said Nursi forever in heaven insha’ Allah.

Patient, persistent and respectful intellectual efforts of believers against the dajjal [antichrist] movement is an important part of their tests.

The Mahdi will come to teach love and compassion. He will devote himself to God and seek God’s approval in everything he does.
