What befalls on Muslims is to preach Islam. According to Islam, exerting pressure and compulsion is unlawful.

According to the Qur'an, everyone can practice his own religion as he pleases. The verse says “You have your religion and I have mine”. Consequently, a Muslim should never exert pressure on anyone.

According to the Qur'an, people are deemed free to choose if they will perform their prayers or not. Muslims are only responsible for explaining what God commands and nothing more.

The Quran heavily preaches secularism. God says in the verse of the Quran; "Say: 'You have your religion and I have my religion'" (Qur’an, 109/6). This verse is a short summary of secularism.

Secularism means the nonbelievers, Christians, Jews, Muslims, everyone will practice their beliefs with ease; no one will be able to interfere with their beliefs. There will be no compulsion or oppression. This is what secularism means. Everyone will be free to live their lives any way they want.

I would never intervene in anyone's way of living. They may all live as they like as I have respect for all points of view.

I would never intervene in anyone's way of clothing and I would never ostracize a person due to his or her dress. I have respect and love for all.

Muslims are free when they fully abide by the Qur'an. Islam abolishes the thousands of prohibitions imposed by systems other than the Islam.

Stoning someone to death, killing those who shave their beards or change their religion are not decreed in Islam. These should be declared as false hadiths.

Thousands of books about the sufficiency of the Qur'an and the fact that there exists no violence in Islam must be handed out by means of planes which are now used to drop bombs.

Secularism, democracy and freedom are the principles of Islam.

Attempting to change the government through a coup and preparing lists for conducting massacres would not be acceptable anywhere. There is no compulsion in Islam.

"There is no compulsion where religion is concerned." This is a command of God. This is also a summary of secularism.

Everyone can be religious or non-religious, however they wish. No one has the right to interfere and force another.

We are a modern, secular, enlightened, democratic community that takes everything beautiful as a basis, that demands what is elegant and high-quality, that are keen on what is lawful and what is not.

We learn the most right, beautiful and sensible form of secularism by way of the Qur'an. Islam advocates secularism.

There is no pressure and compelling in religion. Muslims are obliged to say to unbelievers “Your religion is yours and my religion is mine”, they can’t pressure people.

Secularism is best explained in Islam and the Qur’an. The commandment in the Qur’an that reads “your religion is yours and my religion is mine” is the best application of secularism.

The verse in the Qur’an, “your religion is yours and my religion is mine” is the most perfect description of democracy and secularism.

Secularism doesn’t mean silencing religion. It doesn’t mean using religion either. It means living religion sincerely. If a politician wants to talk about God as he feels, he should be able to do so.

President Erdoğan is a sincere statesman who defends and preserves secularism.

Secularism is found in the essence of religion. The verse that reads: “Say, your religion is yours, my religion is mine” in the Qur’an describes secularism.

The best version of secularism is in the Qur’an. According to the Qur’an, everyone has freedom of thought and every faith is protected.

God creates the beauty of women for us to appreciate. Certain people want Muslim women to be unkempt, ugly and out of shape.

We are responsible for communicating Islam to the best of our ability. Preaching Islam is a religious obligation for Muslims.
