We will be able to appreciate the beauties in Heaven because of the difficulties we will have experienced in this life. Hardships are necessary for people to become more refined.

By means of the difficulties and trials in this life, we will be able to appreciate the beauties of Heaven more.

The details of the trial in this world enhance believers’ souls, and this richness will benefit them for eternity.

Eternal Heaven cannot be earned with an easy trial. A comprehensive, difficult test is necessary for eternity.

Patience and loyalty are required for depth, love and passion to develop. And they can best be gained through the trials and tribulations in this life.

We are in this world so that we can change and improve ourselves for the better. The test of this life is actually an education.

Economic crises and poverty are tests created by God, to bring people closer to God.

Satan is an important part of people’s test. Satan will continue to try to sway people until their death.

Through trials and tribulations, God makes us see how much we love Him, how selfless we are and how we behave when things don't go our way.

If people fully grasped the secret of the trial, they wouldn’t suffer even a tiny bit. One needs to think and comprehend well that everything belongs to God.

The test in this world is flawless. No matter what happens, one will never feel obliged to believe, but will always have a choice.

Suicide will be punished with endless hell. It is like murder: God would never test a person with more than he can handle, therefore suicide is not justified.

When someone is betrayed, God will make that person even stronger. And the traitor will lose.

This life is a short test for us. Everyone can make mistakes; can have flaws. Therefore, compassion is crucial, compassion calms everyone down. A person who cannot look with compassion, will be inclined to get angry quickly. God forbid, anger will destroy the heart. One must choose compassion each and every time and resist the temptation of anger.

Patient, persistent and respectful intellectual efforts of believers against the dajjal [antichrist] movement is an important part of their tests.

It’s a miracle that people can feel arrogant when they are in fact created so weak, with so many needs. This is a part of the trial of the life of this world.

We are put on a beautiful trial. According to the portents of the hadith, bigger incidents will follow but they will all end up with goodness insha’Allah.

If the congregation in the mosque is kind, loving, compassionate people, children will love going to the mosques. The priority should be the refinement of the souls of mosque congregations.

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.

Ataturk (founder of Turkey) was a refined Muslim. He was a man who loved and read the Qur’an.

I believe in the sufficiency of the Qur’an as a guide and I live my life according to the Qur’an.

Ataturk served Islam greatly, because he worked to save Muslims from traditions and superstitions and worked to make sure that Muslims follow the Qur’an only.

There is no reincarnation according to the Qur’an.

People like greenery and the seas because of the inherent desire they have for Heaven.

Young girls –some with headscarves, some without- and young boys having fun together, dancing is great. It is good that young people are happy, vivacious.
