There is no hatred against synagogues in the Qur’an, there is no hatred against churches. On the contrary, Almighty God says that Muslims should protect churches and synagogues.

They should build churches and synagogues as well. Those were all free to build in the time of our Prophet (saas). God commands Muslims to protect churches and synagogues, not to attack them.

A Muslim would never burn down a church, on the contrary he would protect and support the church.

Muslims would never burn down churches. Our brothers and sisters should not believe in the disinformation and the false reports about the Ikhwan.

All damaged and ruined mosques should be rejuvenated. It would be unlawful to leave them in such a state. They should definitely be revived and rejuvenated. A mosque should remain a mosque until the Last Day. You cannot demolish them and turn them into places of amusement.

It is a Muslim’s duty to go into houses that Allah’s name is recited, to have houses in which the name of Allah is recited and to ensure the recitation of Allah’s name in those houses. They will have such houses in which Allah’s name will be remembered.

Mosques brings serenity, mosques bring profusion. There should be beautiful mosques everywhere.

Atheism is very widespread in Europe, churches are all empty. Darwinism and materialism wreak havoc on the world.

There is no hatred for Jews and Christians in Islam. On the contrary, they are protected as the People of Book in the Qur'an. A Muslim cannot have any aversion neither to them, nor to their places of worship. God tells us in the Qur'an that Muslims may marry Jewish and Christian ladies; indeed, some of the wives of our Prophet (saas) were Jewish and Christian.

All Muslims constitute a single community. All mosques in the world are the buildings of this community, all Muslims of the world are its members.

We want large praying rooms everywhere, in schools, hospitals, shopping malls. Especially rooms for ladies should be very well kept. Ladies should be given separate, spacious, nice places to pray and take ablution, so that they will have no difficulty in crammed places.

It is crucial that mosques are clean, spotless, very well maintained, kept, and airy.

People should be able to act freely inside the mosques. They should be able to eat or hold meetings. It was like that at the time of the Prophet (saas).

Protecting churches and synagogues is a provision stated in the Qur'an. Being anti-Jew or anti-Christian is not compatible with the Qur'an. We need to approach everyone with love and compassion. No one can know who deserves to enter paradise in the Sight of God.

Muslims bomb their own mosques when either the mosques of the Shia or Sunni are bombed. That is an apparent cruelty.

In the Qur'an, God commands Muslims to protect the mosques, monasteries, synagogues and churches.

Communities visiting mosques, churches and synagogues would be revered if people possessed genuine compassion, love and affection.

It is great that Mike Pence says the US will be a nation under God and that he brings the American dream to the agenda. The new US government can start by reopening the closed churches. The closing of synagogues and churches shouldn't be considered normal. Reopening places of worship will usher in blessings.

Houses of Muslims are in a way places of worship and their houses are always kept clean. “Purify My House for those who circle it and those who are staying [there] for worship and those who bow and prostrate [in prayer].” Qur’an, 2:125

In most shopping malls [in the Muslim world], mosques are in the basements; they are small and not very well-kept. On the contrary, they should be spacious and very clean.

Synagogues and churches are also houses of God (masjids). Muslims are obliged to protect these masjids of God.

May God close the foresight of those who wish to divide Turkey, may God take away the perception of those who wish to disintegrate Turkey. May God make all disasters envelop them. We would never let Turkey be divided in any way.

Robotic machines should be used in mines, man power should not allowed in mines under the ground.

Islamophobia is formed because of radicalism. That is the doing of bigots. Without the system of the Mahdi, bigots would have erased Islam from the face of this world. The system of the Mahdi is the reason why Islam remained in this world. The system of the Mahdi is the reason why they fail to disintegrate Turkey. Or else, they were planning to raze Turkey to the ground.

If one feels frantic with sorrow for a person who's gone to the Sight of God, who's gone to His Heaven; if one cries his eyes out grieving that means he doesn't appreciate what God created; that means he is rebellious against God, may God forbid. But if he thanks God for what He created, if he praises Him, if he welcomes this ultimate union, his meeting His Lord with joy, if he welcomes passing to Heaven; that is a characteristic of a Muslim. The other is the characteristic of idolaters.
