It is very surprising but there is a serious lack of love for women, children and people. This lovelessness will leave its place to love when Mahdi appears.

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.

The absence of faith in God pains children. They feel empty when they are told that their ancestors were apes.

The education system should be designed to teach people general culture that they can put to use in their daily lives.

Young people should be educated based on their talents.

Making children happy is an incredible joy.

It’s not acceptable to educate children by making them unhappy. Kids would do the right thing, if they were treated like adults not children. It’s essential to see kids as God’s servants and manifestations. Kids will listen and be disciplined, if they feel that they are respected.

It’s very wrong that some parents think that they own their children. They should love their kids as manifestations of God.

The basis of education should be love and fear of God. Coupled with general knowledge, it will bring tremendous improvement.

Education based on memorization is not beneficial. Education should be based on general knowledge.

Children should be educated in a fun manner, in a natural, pleasant setting. Education shouldn't bore or tire the children.

Children should be treated like adults, not like children. They should feel like they are respected. Then they will listen and be educated.

All religions and many languages must be taught at schools. If a person doesn't know the religion of their society, it's a loss for that person.

No group or community has the right to discipline another. A Muslim only says what is right and wrong, but should never try to set anyone straight.

Ambition for fame does not become a Muslim. In order to educate the lower-self a person should constantly see his/her lower-self in weakness. He /She should submit to Allah, feel great love to his/her brothers and sisters, approach them with affection and live the enthusiasm of being a servant to them.

We don't want any dissident voices to be silenced. An abundance of dissident voices is the beauty of democracy.

Pains, ordeals and patience in the face of these difficulties actually refine and improve people. People who have had no difficulty in life, will be insensitive and thoughtless.

According to Islam, there is no unforgivable sin. Once you repent and correct your mistake, you can continue your life like before.

Patience may seem tiring at first. Yet it makes Muslims more healthy both spiritually and physically and gives them strength and energy.

Every action of believers is only to gain the approval of God. God is the only Love of believers. Every effort we make is for the sake of God; it is a testament of our love for God.

I never adopt a destructive tone towards anyone. Although I don't agree with them on many things, I still respect people with traditional orthodox beliefs and I won’t stay silent if they are mistreated.

No miracle will compel people to believe in God; people will always have a choice. The miracles Prophet Jesus showed also didn't compel people to believe; people there could have come up with an explanation not to believe it, if they wanted to.

There will be difficult days ahead, but the end will be great. Turkey is a blessed country.

I will get tired if I stop serving Islam. Serving Islam makes me happier, more energetic, more committed. Serving your Loved One is the most beautiful feeling.

Ottoman architecture is magnificent, especially in homes and mosques. It should be popularized in Anatolia due to its beautiful artistic aspect.
