It is not possible to know God as He knows Himself: That is because no man is -may God forbid- God. That is why we will never be able to know Him as He knows Himself. But in Heaven, God manifests Himself and we will see His manifestation.

Quality is the most crucial characteristic of life. Quality is the most crucial aspect of beauty. Without quality there is no beauty. For instance, Heaven is quality in its entirety. Every corner of Heaven is high quality. When quality ends, beauty ends as well.

This world is not a place to cry but a place to laugh; this world is not a living hell but a heaven. We want heaven both in this world and in the Hereafter. Those who want Hell in this world will be left in Hell in the Hereafter as well.

We will respond to those who try to turn this world into a living hell by turning the world into Heaven on Earth.

This world is not real, the Hereafter is because this world is a place of trial, it possesses the characteristics of both Heaven and Hell. But Muslims push aside those characteristics of Hell by using their wisdom. And because they thus bring forth the characteristics of Heaven, they appear as exquisite beings.

There is a made-up hadith they invented saying; “The world is hell for a Muslim.” Why should it be hell? With the light of faith the world would turn into a heaven on Earth.

Compassion, mercy, leniency: That is what we ask from God, is it not? What do we want in Heaven? We want Almighty God to forgive us and to be lenient, compassionate and protective towards us. We therefore need to treat people in the same manner as well.

There is a beginning and an end for everything. God has neither. Beginnings and endings are only for those who are created: Yet Alhamdulillah, because we are carrying the soul of God we will have a beginning but not an ending in Heaven.

Islam prevails everywhere. One can mention the Name of God while having fun or in a wedding. There is no such thing as saying one cannot talk about God in a place of entertainment. This is the result of a mindset that tries to spread irreligiousness presenting it as if it is something in demand. That is because people are very fond of music and entertainment. These people say “Do not talk about God when there is music and entertainment. Simply keep quiet.” Irreligiousness is the result of such a mentality.

Music heals the soul. We are having conversations here and we are also presenting useful information; these heal the mind. But music heals the soul. Beautiful people heal the soul as well. So our souls are healed here in our conversations.

God is the One Who directly creates music. Is it music what comes to your ears? No, it is not: It is merely sound waves. The waves come to one's ears but it is not the ear that hears; ears are deaf. They simply transmit the sound waves; they transmit the waves as electricity and the brain listens to those sound waves as music. There is no music; see that there is no music until it reaches the brain. There is no music in the place music is played. It is really weird that there is no music outside; there is no music outside the brain.

If you regard arts as unsavory, if you despise music, painting, sculpture and architecture, if you attempt to run away from a house with paintings, if you say "dogs are evil, you should chase off them when you see them," such a country would never advance. The reason why Europe advanced is because they are open to arts and science.

Religion is a system that gathers all the beauties of the world inside. There is joy in religion, there is merriness, there is fun, there is music in religion. Ladies can wander around comfortably, they can wear revealing clothes if they like and cover their heads if they like; no one interferes them. They can laugh as they like, they can have tattoos if they like. Religion would not interfere with such things. Religion commands us to have a good conscience and be conscientious, to be honest, to be reasonable, to be meticulous about what is lawful and what is not. Religion is the other name of joy.

Jesus Messiah (pbuh) will listen to music and he will be a very extroverted person who likes having fun. You will see. He is a highly modest, humorist, very well behaved, very handsome, magnificent young man with thin waist and wide shoulders.

People saw that they can be religious in their hearts and souls. They have seen that they can listen to music; they have seen that women can wander around without covering their heads yet be religious and perform their prayers at the same time. Therefore, religion has become widespread covertly in Turkey and found a great foundation everywhere.

If you abide by the Qur'an you cannot say that music is unlawful, you cannot say that paintings, sculptures, having fun and laughing are unlawful; but if you are in a radical conservative system, music, paintings and sculptures are all unlawful.

Allah created the universe with a rhythm. In the Heaven, even trees will be dancing. It would be very wrong to claim that music, rhythm and dance are unlawful by religion.

Of course we can have music and dancing and fun. You must not add artificial prohibitions to the faith. And then Islam will rule the world.

The Prophet David (pbuh) was singing with love for Allah and dancing. At that period because he danced, there appeared some people who looked down at him in their own twisted minds.

The bigots of the time criticized the Prophet David (pbuh) because he sang and danced. Actually he was dancing out of love of Allah, how beautiful this is. Furthermore the Prophet David (pbuh) has a very beautiful voice.

Entertainment, music and dancing were shown as blessings that must be prohibited to Muslims. These worldly blessings are for Muslims.

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

Every aspect of the understanding of religion outside the Qur’an is horrible; laughing, dancing, painting, statues, music, women’s going out, children wearing shorts are all forbidden in their twisted minds. In some Islamic scholars perverse understanding, the penalty for shaving one’s beard or not performing daily prayers is death. None of those have any place in the Qur’an. The religion that they promote that has no place in the Qur’an and it turns this world into a living hell.

Everything in Heaven will dance whenever they like. But it will be very different to the dance in this world. The dance in Heaven will be mesmerizing, fascinating.

Bigotry, fanaticism is such a scourge on humanity. Fanaticism and misinterpretation of the Qur'an is what lies at the root of the troubles the whole Islamic world is now suffering from. They make havoc. These all stem from the conservative Orthodox understanding of Islam. There is such a scourge upon the world and Mahdi (pbuh) is the one who will save us all from this scourge.
