Attaining the good pleasure of Allah is the most important matter. When a Muslim does something, he does so by constantly asking for the good pleasure of Allah. Whatever people say, whatever they do, a Muslim should never forget the real aim.

Purity and sincerity means doing something solely for the good pleasure of Allah. I mean if someone does things for the appreciation of other people, he would lose all he has done anyway. A Muslim should purely be after asking "What would Allah say to this?" "Would Allah like this?" "Would Allah be pleased by that?" This should never be forgotten. This is the main characteristic of purity and sincerity.

Allah does not like people's boasting of multitude. Some bigots say; "We are more in numbers," and they take pride in that. Actually they are fruitless. Multitude is not important, the approval of Allah is important. Quality is important.

As Turkey, we do not have a claim for supremacy. Allah is the Supreme One. I mean Turkey is not a big brother or anything. Turkey aspires to serve for the good pleasure of Allah, to be the servant to this end.

Passion cannot be imitated, Allah creates passion. Those who submit themselves to Allah feels passion. In real passion is presented to the other side for the good pleasure of Allah.

We are not fond of having fun. We are not after comfort. Before all else, Allah, religion and homeland is important for us.

In real passion, one presents his/her love to the other not for his/her physical attributes but for the good pleasure of Allah. That is because beauty will be gone in a short period of time. Passion felt for the good pleasure of Allah is very beautiful.

If you are thinking about a system, if you want to do good, at the root of it, there should definitely be fear of Allah and the good pleasure of Allah. Otherwise, you would collapse, you would go to the depths of the hell, says Allah in the verses.

Love should be aimed for Allah. It is important to feel love for something while regarding it as the manifestation of Allah. Children, birds, people, flowers; they are all loved because they are the manifestations of Allah.

Woman or man, anyone who abides by the Qur'an would be happy. Anyone who aims to win the good pleasure of Allah would lead a happy and honorable life.

Feeling affection and compassion towards people is a religious service for the good pleasure of Allah.

Our reward is the approval of God, His mercy and His Heaven. We are solely after attaining the approval of God, insha'Allah.

When a Muslim gets ill the right thing to do that is in compliance with the approval of Allah is to accept the doctor and the means for healing.

Worldly business can only have a meaning if they are done for the good pleasure of God. Muslims are disturbed by the unlawful acts, they make Muslims paralyzed and Muslims are unable to do such acts. But if a person is weak in mind and in faith, such a person does not mind if an act is religiously unlawful or not.

Heaven means nothing without Allah’s approval. The reason why Heaven is beautiful is Allah’s good pleasure.

Our heart is set on the Hereafter. Our heart is set on the good pleasure of God, not on any rank or position.

Services may look very minor, but they combine together and grow. Allah multiples one seed a thousand times.

Allah tells Muslims about past events so they can see the wisdom in them because past events shed light on future ones, and that is why they are important.

When we love a person we love him/her for the good pleasure of God. What does the good pleasure of God mean? It stems from the services rendered for Islam. Does he/she unite Muslims? Does he/she ensure unity? Does he/she work to quell dissension? Does he/she develop an attitude against division? If we see all these in a person, we should love that person for the good pleasure of God. We feel that love as a religious observation.

A Muslim lives for the good pleasure of God and he dies for the good pleasure of God. If one does not live for the good pleasure of God, life would turn into a living hell for him/her. Everything should be for the good pleasure of God; only then life would be beautiful. Heaven would be beautiful with the good pleasure of God as well.

There is no meaning to life without religion, may God forbid. I live for religions, for God, we all do insha'Allah.

There is no reliability and soundness in disbelief. You talk to a man and then you see him go and do something atrocious. They act in perversion and do something stupid. They want to approach you only insofar as they see you may serve their interest. When they have no personal gain in being with you, they refrain from coming near you. Actually in Islam, there is the concept of one being a servant of God without asking for any personal gain. Muslims live by that and thus attain constant reliability and decency.

Seek refuge in the Qur’an, and Allah. Pray to Allah, surrender to Allah; Allah will protect you.

Allah tests us with difficulties, but WE ALWAYS THINK THE BEST OF ALLAH. OUR BODIES, SOULS AND DESTINIES AND EVERYTHING BELONG TO ALLAH.

You must say insha’Allah when doing something to avoid falling into disbelief. It is Allah Who does all things.
