Always thinking deeply and elaborately, and being upright, respectable and clear-headed is what befits believers.

As God has stated in the Qur’an, all the beauties of this world are for believers and in the Hereafter, they will be given exclusively to those who had faith during their life in the world.

As Muslims, our ideal is to live the spirit of Heaven as described in the Qur’an. We want to live the enthusiasm and joy of this spirit.

As they become mature and their knowledge increases with age, believers’ enthusiasm for carrying out good deeds and serving Islam increase incrementally as well.

Believers always think broadly.

Believers do not approach each other haughtily; they are compassionate and merciful towards one another.

Both the life of this world and death are pleasant for Muslims.

Christians are the People of the Book and Muslims are ordered in the Qur’an to love and treat them with kindness and compassion.

Declaring someone an unbeliever is a trap set by satan. Anyone who says “God is One and Prophet Mohammad (saas) is His Messenger” is a Muslim.

For young people to have fun, they must have peace in their hearts. Without love and faith, places of entertainment only cause tension.

God supports Muslims in all aspects. When hypocrites leave, this is a blessing for Muslims.

Having fun gives relief to the heart, lifts pressure off the brain, strengthens people’s faith so people brace up to perform acts of worship.

Hypocrites can never do any harm to Muslims. They suffocate in their own troubles.

Hypocrites want believers to be isolated because they think that they will then be weak. God supports believers with other believers.

It was easy to cause religion to remain reactionary with a claim that art, beauty, joy or music has no place in a believer’s life. Our showing that Islam gave freedom and provided all these beauties of life was a great shock to the opponents of Islam. This is why they are panicking.

The lie people say the most is, “We had so much fun.” Most of the time, none of them sincerely have fun or enjoy true happiness.

Claiming that it is not possible to have fun and entertainment in an environment in which the Qur’an and religion is discussed would mean taking Islam out of a wide expanse of life. The Qur’an is everywhere in Anatolia, they are dancing halay and have their weddings in houses where there are copies of the Qur’an. Women and men of Black Sea play horon together. They have the Qur’an with them as well. In the Southeast of Turkey, women dance halay together with men. They too have the Qur’an. God’s name is mentioned and verses are read, the Prophets are talked about in djemevi in which women and men whirl together. Do they think all those should be banned as well? Since such a thing would not be acceptable, it is important to create an environment in which people will be able live according to their thoughts and their faiths comfortably.

It is not right to say ‘don’t mention God or religion while having fun.’ By doing this, you are – in effect- telling people to abandon religion while enjoying themselves.

It’s very wrong to suggest that religion cannot co-exist with things that people enjoy like art, music, etc. Religion covers every sphere of life. It is the entirety of life.

This world is not created for pleasure and enjoyment. True enjoyment will be in eternal Heaven.

As we dance and have fun, our hearts are always with God. It would be outrageous to suggest that God should be forgotten while having fun.

Young girls –some with headscarves, some without- and young boys having fun together, dancing is great. It is good that young people are happy, vivacious.

In order for the nightclubs to be really enjoyable, ladies should feel completely safe, free and comfortable there.

It is not right to advise 'not to remember God' at times when we have fun and enjoy ourselves. A religious person remembers God and speaks about God wherever he is or whatever he does.

A believer considers serving Islam as a blessing but hypocrites don’t want to serve Islam. They follow their own evil religious law. Living alone, being stingy and feckless, leading an aimless, vain life, any act of moral turpitude and lying are all acceptable in the evil religious understanding of hypocrites.
