Fiercely defending one's own desires is a mental illness. One should get a grip on himself in this situation and take refuge in God. He should ask himself, "How did I turn into such an abnormal person?" He should listen to what others have to say in a reasonable manner. A Muslim is open to 'al-amr bi-l-maʿrūf wa-n-nahy ʿani-l-munkar' (enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong). Therefore, he becomes wiser with ease.

When you advise hypocrites to talk about God, they go crazy, you tell them to stay away from blasphemy, they go crazy. It is like satan’s session. You know how satan goes mad all of a sudden? That is how they go mad out of nowhere. That is why you have to be very careful and even-tempered when you talk to hypocrites.

You need to be very attentive while talking to a hypocrite. When they are prescribed goodness and proscribed evil, they become insane, enraged. Since their souls welcome rebellion and fiendishness, they feel very uncomfortable.

Hypocrites do not appreciate advice. When someone tries talking to them to give advice, they go mad.

Almighty God wants us to be in a state of hope and fear. He says, ‘Do not say your conscience is clear and you will not go to hell.’ Because He speaks of people who become Muslims after being unbelievers, but who then fall back into unbelief, and then become Muslims again. In other words, God can take one’s soul and later give it back. He can make that happen. May God forbid. Feeling certain of something does not mean it is true.

Muslims are one another’s bothers. If one has a mistake, you simply give advice; resorting to violence and insults is not acceptable.

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.

A truly healthy life is possible only by following the Qur’an. The Qur’an cures. When people follow the Qur’an, their sorrow, despair and all their negativity will be replaced with health and peace of mind.

They want some religion engineers who criticize God (God is beyond this) to give advice to Muslims. Muslims take advice from the Qur’an and the Prophet (saas).

How should fair admonition be done? It should be in a non-offending manner that doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings, that doesn’t agitate anyone, that doesn’t disturb anyone.

It is religiously forbidden to lose hope from the Mercy of Allah.

Actually it is very easy to make Islam prevail in the world but because of the hopelessness and fear of some religious people, some bigoted people Islam did not prevail in the world until now.

Muslims will go to the Heaven, unbelievers will go to Hell; but no one will be sure of him/herself. They will not be sure if they will go to Hell or to Heaven. They will be in between fear and hope. Allah wants it that way. By that, a Muslim would become perfect and very painstaking, insha'Allah.

If one acts with a weak, despairing mood, then he is defeated. Allah makes one successful if he remains hopeful and strong. This is the law of Allah, insha’Allah.

The traditionalist Orthodox Islamic conception removes people’s vitality and paralyzes their minds. Societies that suffer constant oppression emerge as a result of this.

One of the evil methods employed in the plan to devastate the Middle East is to eliminate the power of the mind by corrupting human nature and benumbing the mind through the traditionalist Orthodox Islamic conception. The minds of people are being ruined, are decaying, so to speak; the souls, the minds of people are decaying and you witness the misery and desolation this leads to.

They aim for a benumbed, insentient youth instead of an energetic, vigorous one. Through the traditionalist Orthodox Islamic mentality, they want people’s brains and souls to decay; they are corrupting their nature and trying to turn them into misogynists. They are destroying the [idea of] feminine beauty. And this is how they sneakily devastated the Middle East. People should not fall in to this trap.

A mentality that is devoid of productivity, technology, creativity, art and aesthetics, that is only consuming and freeloading is spreading like wildfire among some teenagers. Measures should be taken against this by introducing a class on national consciousness in schools.

Stalinism cannot exist without a state. A proletarian dictatorship is an indispensable characteristic of Stalinism. No one would adopt the Stalinist mentality otherwise. In other words, it would be pointless to become a communist. Why do people establish parties? In order to constitute a state.

Teenagers waste their times on pointless TV programs. This is a dangerous culture that numbs their minds. The new generation should be raised being deeply aware of our national values and culture.

People who [figuratively] step into the living cell feel as if they've just stepped into the city of Istanbul. It is that extensive. You could realize the existence of God from even a single cell.

We should popularize love. For one thing, if teachers talk about love to their students in schools, it will cheer children up. If class teachers say to their students, "Children, love each other, become friends, and become brothers. Love is very beautiful. The whole of humanity needs love", children will not forget that for the rest of their lives. We ask for all the teachers to do this. We ask that all around Turkey, that they talk about just one word: love.

Where there are women, no quarrels, no tensions exist; only kindness. And usually there is rudeness where there are no women. People assume a polite attitude in the company of women, even if there is a single woman [present]. Women bring politeness, kindness wherever they go.

Satan wants to drown people in details in order to alienate them from prayer. Bigots complicate prayer by listing thousands of things that will render the prayer invalid; however, performing prayer is quite easy. That is why God did not go into detail in the Qur'an regarding prayer; He only mentions ruqu [bowing down], sujud [prostration] and qiyam [standing up]. Perform your prayer and leave: That is it.

The verse of the Quran saying "do not inquire pryingly" means do not spy on others. Inquire here refers to spying. In other words, God says "Do not gather intelligence about Muslims and provide it to others; do not resort to indecency and cruelty."
