Some people think the pious should be detached from life. According to this mindset they can enjoy life while the devout must be withdrawn.

In order for the nightclubs to be really enjoyable, ladies should feel completely safe, free and comfortable there.

Having fun gives relief to the heart, lifts pressure off the brain, strengthens people’s faith so people brace up to perform acts of worship.

Within the course of world history, they [bigots] have generally turned this world into a living hell for women. When born a woman, she doesn’t have the opportunity to have fun, to wear what she likes or to dress up. Loving and being loved is forbidden, being joyous is forbidden, everything is forbidden for them. Let them have fun, let them be joyous and wear whatever they like. Leave them alone so that they can live in peace.

Having fun, Islam, the Qur'an, eating and drinking and everything else; life is a whole with all its entirety. There is no life far-remote from Islam. I mean there is no such thing to call "this part is Islamic and this part is non-Islamic." Islam is in every breath we take; while having fun, while laughing, sleeping, lying and waking up; Islam is in everything and everywhere one can think of. Any moment of life one claims to be outside of Islam is full of unawareness and means devastation.

Having fun is not illegitimate or unlawful by religion, it is perfectly permissible.

Music is lawful by religion, paintings are lawful, having fun is lawful, sculpture is lawful. I mean, lawful things are innumerable. Things that are forbidden by religion are concisely defined in the Qur'an and they are very few. God says, 'I have deemed everything other than those lawful for you.' How do you come up with all those forbidden acts on your own?

Islam means modernity, high quality and love. Muslims are very well kept; they laugh and have fun to the fullest as they like. Those who claim otherwise are wrong.

Entertainment, music and dancing were shown as blessings that must be prohibited to Muslims. These worldly blessings are for Muslims.

By taking music, science, entertainment away from Muslims, they have developed an introverted Muslim style that has no joy of life. They wanted Muslims to be introverted, insecure and completely deprived of the beauties of life. We foiled that devious plot. To counter the plot to shut Muslims away in ghettos, we kept repeating that faith should be everywhere; in beaches, clubs, etc. They claimed that Muslims are tasteless, crude and don't know how to have fun. Muslims live life to the fullest, deserve the best. They kept women from approaching Islam and tried to insult and oppress them with decrees that have no place in Islam. They made life a living hell not for only women but also for the youth. They created a fake religion where everything is punishable by death. They created such a wrong religious model, people thought embracing Islam would be like hell (surely Islam is beyond this). We destroyed that wrong thinking with the Qur’an.

We carry the Qur'an in our hearts. We live with the Qur'an. The mindset which demands that there should be no fun around the Qur'an is a very wrongful mindset. There is joy, happiness and elation around the Qur'an.

Some people believe that it is not possible to think about God while having fun. For instance, when one goes to a wedding or a disco, or when one listens to music on the radio, they believe that God should be forgotten to do so. That is very wrong.

God will create entertainment and beauty duly in paradise. God created this world with imperfections on purpose.

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.

For young people to have fun, they must have peace in their hearts. Without love and faith, places of entertainment only cause tension.

Some people imagine that having fun would draw the Wrath of God. Actually not being loved, being forgotten, ungratefulness and a lack of love draw the Wrath of God.

Almighty Allah wants us to have fun. Our Prophet (saas) has the hadith in which he encourages making jokes. There are hadith related to jokes. Make jokes, but why do you involve the hereafter and angels? This is indeed very bad.

As we dance and have fun, our hearts are always with God. It would be outrageous to suggest that God should be forgotten while having fun.

Religion is a system that gathers all the beauties of the world inside. There is joy in religion, there is merriness, there is fun, there is music in religion. Ladies can wander around comfortably, they can wear revealing clothes if they like and cover their heads if they like; no one interferes them. They can laugh as they like, they can have tattoos if they like. Religion would not interfere with such things. Religion commands us to have a good conscience and be conscientious, to be honest, to be reasonable, to be meticulous about what is lawful and what is not. Religion is the other name of joy.

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.

By forming a beautiful role model for Muslims, we have thwarted the plot of the movement of the dajjal. There is music, there is fun and nice discourse in Islam, all of those are lawful according to the Qur’an. Women are free according to Islam.

There are a handful of people who are highly disturbed to see religious people at beaches and entertainment venues. They can make as much fuss as they like, but believers will be everywhere.

Some who claim that music and low-cut dresses are illegal according to religion in fact make music themselves, and live with women wearing décolleté. This is insincere.

Claiming that it is not possible to have fun and entertainment in an environment in which the Qur’an and religion is discussed would mean taking Islam out of a wide expanse of life. The Qur’an is everywhere in Anatolia, they are dancing halay and have their weddings in houses where there are copies of the Qur’an. Women and men of Black Sea play horon together. They have the Qur’an with them as well. In the Southeast of Turkey, women dance halay together with men. They too have the Qur’an. God’s name is mentioned and verses are read, the Prophets are talked about in djemevi in which women and men whirl together. Do they think all those should be banned as well? Since such a thing would not be acceptable, it is important to create an environment in which people will be able live according to their thoughts and their faiths comfortably.

Banning ladies having fun is like uprooting an essential beauty out of this world. Women are the most important ornaments of the world. If women have fun, if they are happy, if they are cheerful, if they are able to show their beauty, it would be great.

God says that, "This world is not the place for play and idle sport. The Heaven is the place for play and idle sport. This world is a place for trial." That is why if you fasten yourself to this world, you would be stuck with it, says God. But if you aim for the Hereafter, if you aim My approval, I will make you happy for all eternity, you will have fun and laugh. Those who fasten themselves to this world would merely grovel, let me say that much. They would merely wallow and flounder. Nothing else would ever happen.

Some people want to draw Turkish people into an environment removed from quality, joy and arts like Syria, Iraq. For them it’s all about remaining alive, they want to live like an organism. This is not the life God wants for us. Love, beauty, quality and joy are essential in life.

It is alright to listen to music, it is alright to have fun and to laugh. Anything to the contrary would disrupt human nature; it would destabilize one's balance. May God forbid, you would make yourself fall ill if you disrupt your nature. Be joyous, be happy, have fun, laugh and be playful. That is how God created you. Otherwise, you turn in on yourself, you become ill, your health would then be disrupted, you would then lose your strength to think. It also makes it impossible for you to live by Islam.

Muslims are in such a deadlock that their minds are frozen by rules non-existing in religion, , music, arts, being joyful. Since being exuberant is shown as a potential sin and they regard themselves as guilty, they have a defeated character. Muslims who abide by the Qu'ran are enlightened, high-quality, self-assured and wise. No Muslims should agree to having a defeated style.

It was easy to cause religion to remain reactionary with a claim that art, beauty, joy or music has no place in a believer’s life. Our showing that Islam gave freedom and provided all these beauties of life was a great shock to the opponents of Islam. This is why they are panicking.

Islam prevails everywhere. One can mention the Name of God while having fun or in a wedding. There is no such thing as saying one cannot talk about God in a place of entertainment. This is the result of a mindset that tries to spread irreligiousness presenting it as if it is something in demand. That is because people are very fond of music and entertainment. These people say “Do not talk about God when there is music and entertainment. Simply keep quiet.” Irreligiousness is the result of such a mentality.

Radicals are so predisposed to hate the arts, music and happiness that they cannot bring themselves to accept the fact that Islam champions these blessings. Radical men believe that they deserve freedom and having fun, but cannot accept that women have the same rights as well.

It is not right to say ‘don’t mention God or religion while having fun.’ By doing this, you are – in effect- telling people to abandon religion while enjoying themselves.

The world has no aspect to enjoy things. That is because Heaven is the place to enjoy. Why should people settle for the inadequate pleasures of this world? They carry a ton of wood on their shoulders and then say, "Let us go have fun." That ton of wood on their shoulders will be lifted in the Heaven. You can then have fun. There are various hardships all around this world.

Prayer(salat) is a demonstration of joy, a way of thanking. Invoking the name of Allah is a way of thanking. Eating dinner with Muslims is a way of thanking, it is a beauty. We are having fun that is a beauty as well.

Competition is something our Prophet (saas) sees as acceptable; it is something religion considers as acceptable. It is also seen in Heaven. Muslims will have fun racing each other. They will have motor races, boat races to have fun, or have footraces or horse races.
