One says, "My religion is detached from my social life." That is the point you lose. As a matter of fact, life is a whole. Islam is a whole. Islam envelops all stages of life and everything else. You would ruin yourself if you do so.

One feels a little bit admiration for unbelief and that admiration ruins him, it burns him out. For instance, he emulates their style on the internet and that consumes him. Or he relishes their unlawful way of living and wants to slide towards it, even if just a tad.
 (A9 TV; June 8th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
When a characteristic of unbelief smears a Muslim's character, it makes him suffer a lot. When a little bit of unbelief smears one's character, sufferings and distress start. He feels suffocated and fidgety but doesn't know why. Actually, that distress stems from his sliding towards unbelief.

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Unbelief is immensely troublesome, it is outrageously distressful. It tears one's heart out. Islam, on the other hand, is refreshing and easy. Both your head and your heart will be clear and sound.
 (A9 TV; June 8th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
When you abide by the easy religion of God, when you abide by Islam that is natural, pure belief, the religion of Mohammed (saas), you go to Heaven. But in the religion you make difficult with superstitions, in the religion you rarified and made impossible to live by, you go to Hell. Both your world and your Hereafter will be Hell. Why are you looking for such trouble?
 (A9 TV; June 8th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
God creates easiness for us and deems us successful in easiness. Those who look for difficulty are ruined; they are defeated, they are crushed. All those looking for traditionalist Islam, for orthodox Islam, are crushed. Who needs that; why would you change the immaculately radiant religion of God? Why do you raise difficulties while God has created religion of ease? How nice it is, live joyfully.
 (A9 TV; June 8th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
You might be doing something wrong if you have difficulty in living religion. It means you are not putting the Qur'an into practice. That is because there is no difficulty in the Qur'an, there is no difficulty in Islam. It is always easiness. Islam is the religion of easiness.
 (A9 TV; June 8th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
People resisted every Messenger sent by God. What draws God's wrath is that all the Messengers are very honest, sincere and righteous. And that those people fiercely stand aloof from them, even though they are well aware of the fact that they are mistaken and are on the wrong path and that the Messengers of God are honest, sincere and veracious. In that case, what they do deserves troubles so God plagues them.

Adnan Oktar
 - 
When God's Name is not recited, that region, that city, that country would become barren. What comes in its place? Hunger and economic crisis. What comes in its place? Terror. Those two dangers. Is God's Name invoked in Greece? No. Is His Name invoked in other countries? For instance, is His Name invoked in the US? What happens then? Hunger comes. Hunger enwraps them all in those vast lands. Terror, meaning fear, comes following that.

Adnan Oktar
 - 
God does not tell us to "worship Him," but He tells us to "sincerely worship Him." God lays that as a condition in any case. Love is given as a blessing reserved only for those sincere ones.
 (A9 TV; June 6th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Making mention of the blessings of God is crucial. One would become egoistical and abnormal when he forgets to do that, his heart would not be in anything he does: May God forbid. That is why God tells us to invoke His Name. Invoking the Name of God would bring relief and beauty to one's heart.
 (A9 TV; June 6th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
When one gives a present to another, if it stings thinking how expensive it is, that feeling comes from lack of love. But even if the present is expensive, if giving a present pleases him thinking that his brother would like that present and be very happy about it, that would be a beauty, an attitude that God would appreciate.
 (A9 TV; June 6th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
In the beginning of the verses of the Qur'an, God's Names Rahman and Rahim are recited. "Bismillahirrahmanirrahim". Rahman and Rahim, God; meaning God, the One Who knows and shows love very well and the One Who wants love from us. "Rahman" because He is the Protective, He is the One Who watches over, He is the One Who forgives, He is the One Who wants good for people.
 (A9 TV; June 6th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Love is a very engrossing, a very amazing feeling. It is not like eating or drinking. It is the most pleasing blessing. If one asks, "Would you prefer eating or love?" It is love. If one asks, " Would you like us to give you a yacht or love?" The answer is love. What good would come out of a yacht? It is just a huge wooden thing. Think about going aboard in the middle of the sea? What would you do if there is no love? What good would that do? Or else let us imagine that you are given a castle but there is no love in it; that castle would turn into a giant prison. It would do no good.
 (A9 TV; June 6th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
What does forgiving mean? It serves love. Without forgiveness you become angry, you get cross, you reproach others and severe your connections with the concerned. When one severs connections with one person and then the other, what happens? He remains alone. This is the disaster cast upon the whole world. This time they start keeping dogs and cats at their homes as their sole companions. This is what happens without love, without heeding the Qur'an.
 (A9 TV; June 6th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
When the time comes and a Muslim becomes a martyr, that is what God loves the most; that is the highest form of love. That is because it means one gives his life for God. Isn't one's life precious? He says, "My Lord, You made me love my life, I love You more than my life. My life is Yours. I am Yours." This is what it means. That is why Almighty God keeps martyrs in a separate place and does not make them die. They do not taste death.
 (A9 TV; June 6th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Martyrdom is what God likes the most. God finds the greatest love in that. But a Muslim should will for that, not just randomly but should sincerely and wholeheartedly will for that praying "My Lord, I ask martyrdom from You."
 (A9 TV; June 6th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Some people never accept patience and ordeals, yet ask directly for blessings. That is unacceptable. You can neither attain Heaven like that nor attain the good pleasure of God. This is a place of trial not a place of fun. Almighty God says, "If We had desired to have some amusement, We would have derived it from Our Presence, but We did not do that." Heaven is the place of amusement, there is no such thing in this world.
 (A9 TV; June 6th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
The US should become religious again; the current situation is not acceptable. When they are religious, peace comes upon them. When they are irreligious an enormous exiguousness and inauspiciousness comes upon them.
 (A9 TV; June 6th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
When one is on the path of God, God gives him richness, abundance and beauty. But also accept the sufferings on that path, not only the blessings. It is not acceptable otherwise. You should accept the patience; accept the ordeals. Then God would rain down His blessings upon you.
