The kind of lifestyle depicted by the bigoted system is horrible; this lifestyle doesn't have anything to do with the Islam based on the Qur'an.

If people live Islam as explained in the Qur'an, the world will be a heaven-like place. The radical mentality is totally against the Qur'an. If radicals continue to impose their mentality, God forbid, people will be completely driven away from Islam. The only solution for this is the true Islam in the Qur'an.

Due to the radical mindset, people wrongly believe that if they become religious Muslims, they will have to give up on the joys of life. On the contrary when Muslims abide by the true Islam described in the Qur'an, they will find true happiness and will not have to give up on things that they love.

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.

The proponents of the traditionalist, orthodox system preach something they don't also practice. The life they describe is impossible.

Radicals don't follow the Qur'an. Instead, they create dozens of new prohibitions, yet they don't follow those either and make life a living hell for themselves.

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

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

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.

Every school of Islam has different lawful and unlawful practices. This will be set straight by the Mahdi movement.

There were no schools of law in Islam at the Prophet Muhammad (saas)’s time. Now there are four different schools with four different unlawful and lawful rules. They’ve created four different religions.

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.

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

A sincere, devout Muslim would never forget performing prayers. Performing daily prayers is an amazing act of worship with which we show our love to God. It is a blessing for us.

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.

Sectarian divides cause serious tension between Muslims. We should all follow the Qur'an like in the time of our Prophet (pbuh).

The sect of our Prophet (saas) was the Qur’an. It will be like that at the time of the Mahdi, as well.

Each of the four Islamic sects claims that others are invalid and superstitious. But according to the Qur’an there is only one religion and it is described in the Qur’an.

There were no sects at the time of Prophet (pbuh). Now there are almost four different religions. Muslims will be asked of the Qur’an alone.

The hypocrites would not take ablution or perform prayers if there are no one around to see. They only take ablution and perform their prayers when there are people around.

Taking ablution as described in the Qur’an is very easy to practice. God explains ablution in a single verse: You who have faith! when you get up to do salat (prayer), wash your faces and your hands and your arms to the elbows, and wipe over your heads, and your feet to the ankles. (Qur’an, 5:6)

Taking ablution is not an obligation to hold or read the Qur’an. This is simply a superstitious belief devised to keep people away from religion.

They keep millions of women away from performing prayers and taking ablution by making up hundreds of rules, none of which are in the Qur’an.

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.

Every aspect of the understanding of religion outside the Qur’an is horrible; laughing, dancing, painting, statues, music, women’s going out, children wearing shorts are all forbidden in their twisted minds. In some Islamic scholars perverse understanding, the penalty for shaving one’s beard or not performing daily prayers is death. None of those have any place in the Qur’an. The religion that they promote that has no place in the Qur’an and it turns this world into a living hell.
