A person may have done many mistakes before he practices religion. It is not right to suffer due to these mistakes according to the Qur'an.

Before one becomes religious, commandments of the religion are known only in a blurred way. There is no sharpness of mind and consciousness.

People have a wrong understanding of religion. They assume pious people become introverted and lose their joy. That is not being religious. One becomes lively and joyful with religion and faith in God. Believers are extraverted and full of life.

Mr. Trump should give priority to spirituality. He should carry out activities to strengthen the religiousness of the US. He should convene with Muslim religious scholars.

Some people think the pious should be detached from life. According to this mindset they can enjoy life while the devout must be withdrawn.

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.

Some people wrongly think that religion should be practiced later in life. On the contrary, religion should be practiced as soon as one attains the age of reason. My friends devoted their entire youth to God.

We are religious, devout people and we always talk about God everywhere we go.

It’s good that Trump has the ideal of bringing back the old American dream, which means the US will be religious as it was before.

There was a mistaken idea that religious people should not enjoy luxuries, or live beautiful lives. That was a plan to suffocate Muslims. We put an end to that.

The religiousness of the American people is very nice. They have receded from their old moral values. Trump should try to build a religious America, if he can. Religiousness is a beauty and a blessing. Becoming religious once again would bring plenty and abundance to the American people.

Due to my love for God, I deeply love every pious, pure woman I see because I see them as manifestations of God.

The coup attempt was very favorable for our people. The spirit of unity, brotherhood and religiousness became stronger.

The percentage of people fasting in Turkey used to be 15% in 1970s, now it is 82%. Back in those days Darwinism held sway in Turkey. Now modern religiousness based on the morality of the Qur'an is embraced predominantly by our people.

Many who reveal themselves to be irreligious may be essentially secretly believing since they ponder, search and study matters. That is why we should not exclude anyone who is atheist and irreligious. We may not know it from the outside, but he may be reflecting on God and trying to understand.

In regard to faith, Muslims should hold good intentions for one another's devoutness. God alone knows who is faithful and who is not, and this will be seen in hereafter.

In order for a pious, religious generation to be raised, first of all the invalidity of Darwinism must be explained scientifically. It is impossible to get religion across through a dialectic philosophy.

Without religion, life would turn into Hell. Only with love of God and faith, world would be a place like Heaven. The more profoundly you love God, the more beautiful your life would become.

It is important that sincere, honest, modern -thinking pious people are at the forefront in all aspects of life. It is because such people are a guarantees for everyone: Christians, Jews, atheists: Those people fear God and won’t do anything that is not in good conscience. This is a great guarantee for everyone.

One should be fastidious about religion, protect and watch over Islam strongly. God protects us and watches over us. He gives us our eyes, nose, mouth and ears. He makes our hearts beat non-stop. We would drop in our tracks if it didn't. He gives us food, He creates colors for us, He creates voices, He creates beauties. God is constantly attending to all our needs.

Poverty might appear to be a pitiful concept on the outside, but actually poverty makes people humble, devout and good-mannered. It makes people appreciative of blessings and makes them recognize the value of those blessings.

Perform your prayers five times a day, count beads all night long but have high quality. If you want to cover your head, do so, but do it in style and with quality. Using ugly wraps and cloths is unacceptable. Women used to cover themselves up in the Ottoman times as well but they were like amazing works of art. This was how women appeared before people, like flowers. That is nothing that would prevent being religious.

Being religious means being the wisest, the most modern, the highest quality, the most honorable person. The prophets were all the most modern people of their times.

Turkey is a modern, enlightened country. Those that have no love, happiness, love, art, beauty, quality in their lives, those live as if they are already dead, want Turkish people to live like them as well. Our people will not be like them. On the contrary, we will grow and get stronger as a modern, enlightened, religious, high-quality country insha’ Allah.

The US remained standing until now with their conservatism, with their piety. Once the US is stripped from their piety, it will be the end of the US. The US will be ruined.
