Affection is a very beautiful blessing. A very heartfelt love for God, a very sincere fear of God and a deep faith is necessary to attain affection.

God is an eternally beautiful being. He is the One Who must be loved the most and cherished the most. Majority of people are very ungrateful. It is surprising how they have become so ungrateful. It is an unscrupulous misconduct that people do no appreciate God.

People's cruelty and ungratefulness is something God dislikes. Ungratefulness is an awful immorality. We always have to remember God’s blessings. Muslims need to remember the blessings God grants them and have profound love for God.

Performing prayers is a very old form of worship. All tribes throughout history prayed throughout history. This is also seen on cave paintings.

Buddhism is a corrupt version of true religion. Acts of worship like prayer, fasting and giving alms exist in Buddhism, though in a changed form.

The purpose of our existence is love. We will love God and God's creations. Where there is sincere love, there is no hatred, grudge or envy. Love would solve all problems.

Many practices that are not in the Qur’an are invented to keep people away from prayer. They are used as a barrier before religion. Millions are prevented from practicing faith by means of invented practices that have no place in the Qur’an.

Prayer and its answer is created at the same time. Prayer exists so that we can love God more.

The Mahdi will come at a time when people start to love themselves instead of loving God. He will teach people to love God and to abide by the Qur’an.

In many verses of the Qur’an, God mentions the existence of various realms. "Say: ´My prayer and my rites, my living and my dying, are for God alone, the Lord of all the worlds.” Qur'an, 1:162

All my friends perform their daily prayers five times every day and are very meticulous about their prayers.

God creates hardships, illnesses and weaknesses to make people reflect deeply and love Him.

God commands how to take ablution with one verse in the Qur’an and it is very easy. The bigots on the other hand, come up with 600 pages of made-up rules about ablution that differs in each school of Islam. Looking at these made up rules, some people say that they won’t be able to take ablution and perform prayers. The understanding of religion that is outside the Qur’an causes people to remain distant to Islam.

Omer Halis Demir is a lion; a perfect example of a person with great love for God and fear of God.

It is impossible for people who don't trust or respect each other to truly love each other. When people don't love or fear God, they can’t trust or love each other. As a result, they constantly spy on each other. Without faith, they have no trust or love for each other. They think that they love each other, when the only thing they do is fight and accuse each other. Love and passion are only for believers.

My ultimate goal is love; loving God and loving God’s manifestations.

Believers should fear God, but it should be the fear of losing God’s love. Believers come here from heaven and are bound for heaven.

Everything in Heaven is intended to create love, to make us thank God. And we will love the people in Heaven because we love God.

Most people stay away from performing prayers because bigots portray it like it is a difficult practice. On the contrary, it is very easy and brings happiness. Turning prayer/ablution into difficult practices, is satan’s plot. Allah explains ablution in one verse in Qur’an. But some people write 300-page books explaining it.

Because the traditional orthodox understanding of Islam has shown prayer (salat) as if it is too complicated to perform, many stay away from prayer.

Salat (prayer) is a religious obligation that must be performed at certain, designated times of the day.

The Qur'an is sufficient. A Muslim knows praying and prayer times from the details given in the Qur'an.

Allah reveals in the Qur'an that prayer is an obligation that must be performed on time. It is not acceptable to delay prayer to another time.

All my friends are very meticulous about their prayers. They always perform their prayers on time and are very careful not to miss any prayer.

Heaven will be a place in which we will pet and love animals to our hearts’ content. There are always weaknesses and deficiencies in this world, but there is only perfection and impeccability in Heaven.
