How could a Muslim ever drink vine with one's eyes open? It would get stuck in his/her throat and he/she wouldn't be able to do it even if he/she wants to. Adultery paralyzes a Muslim. He/she would feel his/her hands and feet tied, he/she wouldn't be able to cope with it. A Muslim wouldn't have the strength to commit a sin knowingly. His/her sight would be lost and he/she cannot bring his/herself to do it, insha'Allah.

It is religiously unlawful for a person to kill himself, it is an assassination. He would thus go to the Sight of God as a murderer who did not repent. That is not acceptable.

Radicals are very inclined to announce many food and jewelry as religiously unlawful even though God deemed them lawful in the Qur'an. In the verses God asks; "I am the One Who creates all jewelries, who have made those unlawful for you."

Religiously unlawful acts put people in distress. It would tear them into pieces. Knowing that something is religiously unlawful, it would not be possible to do it carefree. But because weakness of faith makes a person's body paralyzed, because it makes the flesh rot away, such a person would not be affected by it and would easily do unlawful acts. Actually it is impossible for an alive and fresh mind and body to do something religiously unlawful. A person can only do unlawful things if he is dead inside. A lively person would never be able to do that as it would be an unbearable pain for him. That is not something that a Muslim could ever do.

It is very easy to not to go to Hell; you have got to love God, you've got to fear God. God says; "I have given this world to you. Eat, drink, have fun, love, play, dance as ever you like." What does God's saying "I have given this world to you," mean? It is God saying; "This is yours, do whatever you like." There are a handful of forbidden things; they are only a handful.

Prohibitions in Islam could be counted with the fingers of a hand, yet if you try to count the halals (permissible acts) in Islam, your lifetime would not suffice to do so. The prohibitions in Islam are very few and easily be counted with the fingers of a hand. Yet halals are endless.

Those who pick sides among Muslims would be eliminated. It is religiously unlawful to take sides among Muslims.

There is no spirit of mourning in Islam. That is idolatry. It is rebellion against God, it is unlawful, it is a sin. Consequently, talking about something that actually means idolatry as if it is a religious act would be wrong.

Our people love our Prime Minister because he is religious.

It is nice for women to be admirable. What is forbidden for both men and women is illegitimate intercourse. I mean what is forbidden for them is to engage in illegal sexual intercourse. Or else there is no harm in a woman being liked, or a man being liked.

Religion is very pure and simple. One should have good morals, one should be loving and sincere. Lawful deeds are defined anyway. There are many lawful acts, they are boundless. Unlawful deeds on the other hand are very few. They are defined in the Qur'an as well. One needs to keep away from them and that is it. You would be a good person, a loving person who submits himself to Allah, a person who loves Allah very much. You should not be wooly minded, you should just be honest.

If music were to be unlawful by religion, Allah would have declared it in the Qur'an. The lawful and unlawful acts by religion are defined only in the Qur'an.

Acts unlawful by religion are explained clearly with verses containing clear judgments, they are not open to interpretation.

When one remains aloof from the Qur'an, the wisdom goes away, that person's attitudes become unwholesome, they no longer pay attention to what is religiously lawful and what is not and they become unstable. But if one abides by the Qur'an, his mind settles, his works go well, an abundance comes upon him, a radiance, a pleasantness, a blessing settles upon him. That is why holding on to the Qur'an tightly is very important.

Declaring lawful things as unlawful is going beyond limits. Asking for religiously unlawful things when you have plenty of religiously lawful blessings would also be going beyond limits.

What are the things Muslims should be very attentive about? They should be attentive about lawful and unlawful acts, they should love Allah deeply, they should constantly praise Allah, they should constantly keep their hearts with Allah. What would that bring? There is a secret here. Allah says "you will then be at ease."

Having fun is not illegitimate or unlawful by religion, it is perfectly permissible.

Radicals have laid such a heavy burden on Muslims; so much so that they have driven Muslims almost mad. They are unable to turn right or left, it is forbidden to laugh, it is forbidden to talk to women. God wants us to laugh; He wants us to be joyous. Why do you hurt them in vain? They are inventing prohibitions on their own. Laugh; laugh as ever you like, wander around as ever you like, put up the pictures you like at your home, put up statues, let young girls put on make up as ever they like, let them be well-groomed; let young men dance and have fun. These are all lawful and permitted according to the Qur'an.

All the beauties of life are in religion; there is music, there is fun, there is joy, there is love. Religion covers the whole of life and makes all those religiously lawful. There are very few religiously unlawful acts. Religiously lawful acts on the other hand are innumerable.

Prophets would never come up with additional lawful and unlawful acts on their own accord if they are not defined in the Qur'an. There is an explicit verse in the Qur'an about this.

At the moment Islamic countries are very poorly kept and miserable. This will change completely in the time of Mahdi (pbuh). With the coming of the Mahdi (pbuh) shoddiness and soullessness will disappear.

As our Prophet (saas) foretold in his hadiths, after the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) guidance, faith and glory will come.

There is an amazing coding-cypher system in the Torah regarding the future and regarding the names of individuals.

As our Prophet (saas) foretold in his hadiths, with the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) all the people of the land and the skies will overflow with joy.

Feeling love and yearning towards the system of the Mahdi is a characteristic of a Muslim.
