God tells us to follow the Qur’an, not what the ancestors tell us. Muslims will be questioned about the Qur’an.

Martyrdom is a reason for joy. Martyrdom is an honor. It is wrong to grieve after martyrs; grieving is a pagan tradition.

Rendering judgment in the name of God and inventing new lawful and unlawful acts in the name of God means ascribing partners to God and that is why bigots are also idolaters.

The Qur'an is adequate. How the prayers will be performed and the times for their observance are clearly stated in the Qur'an.

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.

The genuine Islam based on the Qur'an is a blessing that makes one’s brain clearer and makes wisdom more apparent.

Those who assume an attitude against Islamic Unity, against the sufficiency of the Qur’an, against Jesus Messiah and the movement of the Mahdi would be assuming an attitude against God.

In the model of Islam that we communicate, there is not even a drop of bloodshed. There is no pressure upon people. This is the Islam the Qur'an preaches.

The remedy for ISIS terror is the true Islam based on the Qur'an in which arts, beauty, modernity and refinement predominates.

We are the only group of enlightened, vivacious, cheerful, moderate friends that embrace and live by the Qur'an in the perfect sense.

In the model of Islam that we preach there is an enlightened, progressive, sincere and vivacious spirit that is hand in hand with the arts and beauty. We preach and live by the Islam explained in the Qur'an.

We preach and live by a vivacious model of Islam accepted by both reason and good conscience which the people of the world can take as a role model.

They are trying to drag us into the traditionalist understanding of Islam. We abide by the Qur'an. We are the enlightened face of Muslims. We are a reasonable, compassionate community that lawfully uses all blessings bestowed on us by God.

The right path is the sincere, enlightened, warm understanding of the Qur'an that beauties life. The Qur'an has no place in the traditionalist understanding of Islam. This is what brings about separation.

God says that He will accept the repentance of an idolater or a hypocrite, whoever repents. One needs to refrain from using language that abandons hope of God’s Mercy.

The idolatrous system acts according to what is learned from ancestors, not according to what God has sent down. It advises to live religion as learned from ancestors.

Paradise is a place of joy. Those who can't appreciate delight and love due to idolatrous immorality here would not take pleasure in Heaven.

By inventing an understanding of an insincere, timid, player and idolater kind of Muslim, they wanted to wipe out the sincere, warm and true Muslim model.

Our Prophet (pbuh) had a piercing gaze. Why? Because his heart was always with God. He feared God. But polytheists would stare vacantly. Because they would only care for the fullness of their stomachs. They were like animals, even lower than animals. Therefore, they would have animal-like gazes.

God says that unbelievers ‘don't use their reason’. Believers therefore should use their reason, read, learn and research all the time.

People have a wrong understanding of religion. They assume pious people become introverted and lose their joy. That is not being religious. One becomes lively and joyful with religion and faith in God. Believers are extraverted and full of life.

What kind of interpretation of Islam is it if you do not preach to atheists and Darwinists? Who are we meant to command good and forbid evil to? Who are we meant to struggle against? Muslims have a duty to talk about Islam to Jews and Christians, known as the People of the Book, to atheists, to pagans and to everyone, in the kind of language they can understand. That is God’s command. You cannot talk about Islam using hostile language, only through love.

There is no such punishment as ‘rajm' [stoning to death] in the Qur’an. That is the custom of idolaters and it has no place in Islam.

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.

If one works to please God, God will make people love him.
