There are some conditions for the union of a woman and a man. First of all the woman should feel a deep love for that man, she should have a deep respect; she should value and trust that man. She should see that man as her lawful spouse and feel passion in her heart. Only then God could give a feeling of contentment. Attacking the bone and flesh of a woman as if she is a dog is a very atrocious behavior.

Forcing a woman into a relationship even though she doesn't have love or affection in her heart, even though she doesn't have such a desire, is outright ignominy, characterlessness and dishonor.

The beautiful aspect of the Gospel is that it talks a lot about love. The Gospel talks a lot about affection, friendship, forgiveness and brotherhood. It is very refreshing in that respect. It is very pleasant.

God considers being loved as very important. The goal of God for us is not to love the food and the honey in the Heaven. Almighty God sees His being loved as crucially important. He wants us to love honey and the other beauties of Heaven as manifestations of Him. He would not let us love those blessings independently. Actually, we could not take pleasure from it anyway.

Give your love to God. He gives his love directly to his child and fails to say, "My Lord, how beautiful You have created my child, how beautiful You manifest Yourself." That is when God gives a lot of troubles. A thousand an done different torments. God either takes away that child from him or gives him a disease or some trouble, or takes away his riches from him. Why do you not say, "O Lord, thanks be to You. How beautiful You create beauties. These are all Your manifestations"?

God is pleased when the Greatness of God is expressed. God does not need it, but He wants love.

Love, beauty and art are the goals of life: Without them why would you ever bother to build bridges, why would you bother building tube tunnels from the land or under the sea? All those things would be vain. For love to exist, art and aesthetics nurturing love should be attached great importance.

People should be trained regarding love. Love is the main anchor point of the world. There is no life without love.

God is love. Almighty God loves His servants, and He wants His servants to love Him as well.

We have love inside and out; we have love in our hearts. It is love that will save the world. God wants love. The Qur'an tells us about love from cover to cover. The Qur'an is the book of love.

Love is the purpose of the foundation of this world. Almighty God would not create the universe if it was not for love. He creates for love. Love is also the purpose of Heaven. Love is the purpose of the trial [of the life of this world] as well. What God wants from us is love.

If there is a fervent love, that means there is a fervent faith. If one has a fervent love for a woman, you should know that he possesses a fervent faith. That is the sign of it.

When one asks for love, he should first aim for the love of God. No love can be formed if there is no love for God or fear of God.

God will manifest Himself to the people of Heaven whenever He likes. In an account it is stated that "He will manifest Himself on Fridays" but it is clearly understood from other accounts that He will frequently manifest Himself. And it is stated that this is the one blessing that Muslims would enjoy the most in the Heaven.

If you idolize the one you love, if you ascribe them as a partner to God - may God forbid-, if you assume that the one you love has an independent existence, God would take that person away from you. But if you see your loved one as a manifestation of God, God would not take away that manifestation from you. Separation is a punishment for idolizing the loved one.

If you completely abide by the Qur'an and love God as is due, if you submit your heart completely to God, if you turn into a man of love, if you burn with the love of God, God would bind and brace His manifestation on you; that manifestation would never leave you. God is the One Who takes that manifestation away from you. One might think that the manifestation leaves a person by them taking an individual decision but God is the One Who brings that blessing to you and He is the One Who takes that away from you.

If you regard everything as a manifestation of God, He will make you love them, and they will love you. It is God Who brings that love into being: There is no other kind of love. Love of God is the only love.

You cannot love someone with mere flesh and blood. If you look at things on the basis of flesh and blood, they will smother you, and nothing will come of it. You must love the manifestation and spirit of God in the other person.

It is not possible to know God as He knows Himself: That is because no man is -may God forbid- God. That is why we will never be able to know Him as He knows Himself. But in Heaven, God manifests Himself and we will see His manifestation.

One should love a flower, a mother, a cat, a woman as a manifestation of God. One should love nice scents, horses, every animal and everything as a manifestation of God. If one loves them only physically, it becomes the love of the flesh; and flesh has no lovable side to it.

Humans are frail creatures; as a creature made of flesh and bone, the human has no lovable side to it. It becomes lovable only as a manifestation of God. What is there to love about the flesh? It is only an organic material. Flesh, fat, bone, blood; they are petty things. What we love is the manifestation of God.

The most beautiful being and blessing in Heaven is the manifestation of the Almighty God.

Muslims will be seeing the manifestation of God Himself in Heaven. That is the most beautiful blessing in Heaven.

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.

Being a Freemason doesn't mean that he is irreligious or faithless. I have many Freemason friends and acquaintances, and they all are very devout. There are Catholic ones among them, devout Catholics, there are Rabbis among them, devout Rabbis, there are Chief Rabbis who are Freemasons. I mean Freemasonry does not mean irreligiousness. They should consider Freemasonry as a union, as a community. I mean it is a community aiming to be gracious, a community of friendship and companionship.
