Everything beautiful in life exists in Islam but in the bigoted understanding of religion there is no laughing, music, dancing or painting.

Hypocrites show commands which are not from the Qur’an as if they are from the Qur’an. Their real aim is treachery.

In order to encourage people to perform their prayers, you can make them love God. If they love God, they would want to show their love to Him through prayer.

It is important to perform prayers by knowing and thinking about the meaning of the prayer and expressing our deep love for God.

Our brothers should be strong-willed about performing their prayers.

Performing prayers (salat) turns people into noble and precious beings. There are only a few things declared unlawful by God; all else is lawful and acceptable in religion.

Sculptures or paintings are not unlawful according to the Qur’an. Such claims are based on superstitions.

Superstitions claiming that women are not allowed to shape their eyebrows or wear trousers in Islam are not based on the Qur’an and are therefore false.

The age that a child can begin performing prayers depends on his or her consciousness. One can begin performing prayers once he understands God’s Existence.

The commandments in the Qur’an are very open and clear. Lawful and unlawful acts are explicit and easy to understand.

The commands in the Qur’an are open and explicit. The commands bigots presented outside the Qur’an are contradictory and reject one another.

The Eid prayer is a great blessing to show Muslims’ enthusiasm, unity and determination to the world.

The whole world is a masjid (place of worship). Having a clean place is sufficient to pray.

There is no verse in the Qur’an about dancing being unlawful. There is rhythm and movement in the universe. Dancing is a blessing from God.

They keep millions of women away from performing prayers and taking ablution by making up hundreds of rules, none of which are in the Qur’an.

Women’s beauty would turn the world into Heaven. Most fields of art like poetry, music, painting and literature is based on women’s beauty.

In the Qur’an, there is no verse stating that painting or sculpture is unlawful. That is why both paintings and sculptures are religiously lawful.

Most of those who claim that they are against music, paintings, sculptures and modernity send their children to Europe for school not to Saudi Arabia or any other Islamic country. That is because they are not sincere in their claims. They also like and admire these beauties. They both admire Europe and behave as if they are enemies. They imagine that they should attack at the paintings, sculptures or any other beauty. They believe that they would be performing a great duty as they spit on the sculptures when they see. If you believe that paintings are unlawful, sculptures are unlawful, that you should spit on them when you come across a sculpture, then why do you all send your children abroad to Europe, the abode of all those beauties for education.

There is a movement ‘dividing the public into two’ that is going on ever since the first years of the Republic and that is not voiced openly most of the time. On one side there is Ataturkist, enlightened party that loves paintings, music, dancing, statues, arts and that is full of life. On the other side there is this introverted party that does not like Ataturk, that takes no pleasure from music, paintings and arts, that are against having fun and being joyous. That is an unnamed disintegration that has long been going on in Turkey and both parties somehow feel rage for one another and cannot reconcile. Generally that disintegration is presented as the pretext for coups. That has always been the case in 1960’s, in 1971 and in 1980. This can clearly be seen when the anatomy of the coups is studied. We became a target because we have an understanding that extinguishes this division. With our narrations we clear away the rage both sides feel for one another and make it possible for the lives of these two parties combine with one. We demonstrate the fact that there is no reason to keep a distance between those enlightened Ataturkists who like culture, arts and paintings, and religious people. With our existence as an enlightened, modern, joyous, vivacious group of friends who love arts, music and beauty, who attach great importance to quality, who are loyal to the Qur’an, who practice the sunnah that are in compliance with the Qur’an, we are abating a very important dissension. We reconcile these two sides and demonstrate that the rage both parties feel for one another is baseless. We thereby provide a very important service regarding the unity of our people and our homeland. Most people may not be aware of this fact but the British deep state is and that is why they are trying to give us a hard time with all their might.

There is no verse in the Qur’an that deems paintings unlawful. The claim stating that paintings are unlawful is merely a superstition. Paintings are a blessing, a beauty.

God says, “There is no compulsion in religion.” This provision outlaws all kinds of impositions. A Muslim enjoins the good and then leaves the person to his own conscience.

Modern Islam is the system in which people are friends with one another, where women are free and music and art flourish.

The Qur’an is very open and clear. Anyone reading the Qur’an can easily understand the verses. People should pay attention to those who make so-called new rules based on superstitions and assumptions.

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.

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.
