God wants to be loved sincerely. Suffering and satan must exist for real love and compassion to be achieved.

Suffering is a necessity for achieving the love of God. Satan must exist in order for suffering to exist. And satan usually engages hypocrites and disbelievers for its deeds.

Hypocrites feel as if their souls burn and suffer when they feel they are becoming more like Muslims. Thus, they try to inspire their evil natures by committing indecent, treacherous deeds, by keeping in touch with disbelievers, or by hatching insidious plots against Muslims.

Hypocrites find comfort in tapping into their evil sides. They feel obliged to commit vile, secret, dishonest deeds, to hatch sinister plots; their souls can find no rest otherwise.

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.

Those who have a sickness in their hearts are proud, egocentric and arrogant. They regard the sense of superiority as a precious form of worship. However, they are not aware of the fact that they are doing it under the influence of satan. They cannot realize their evil actions.

There should be no pride involved in love, since if there is pride, love ends. Pride and lack of forgiveness are the poisons of love. People thus fail in managing love. However, forgiveness, bringing your pride under control, putting your pride aside, this clears the way for love to the fullest extent.

Wisdom is a light shed upon us by God; it is given to mankind by God as an inspiration. Wisdom does not appear out of nowhere. If God takes the wisdom away, one would be astounded, become speechless, tongue-tied as if a mute.

The reason teens grow up to be short tempered is the Darwinist education system. People who go through a Darwinist, materialist education become loveless. It is religious ethics that provides the sense of love.

Hypocrites do not know what love is. They only use love as a means, as a tool. It is a means for the hypocrites to attack, to behave immorally and viciously towards Muslims. In other words, the hypocrites exploit love to disturb Muslims, to carry out vile deeds against them. They say, "I visited out of love", or, "I spoke out of love", or, "I do this out of love."

In this world the trial we are living is a seemingly one; actually, in the esoteric sense, we are being educated, this world is a course. Because God already knows what we will do. He is the One Who created us. In other words, God knows what we will do since eternally before. We have already been here and done that. The point of this trial is to train us, to show us our true selves. God makes us face our true selves. In other words, He makes us love ourselves. He is preparing us for the afterlife.

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.

God wants us to love Him sincerely and honestly and this is possible only through trial. By going through trial, we witness our love towards God as well.

The palaces, the rivers, the fruits of Heaven; none of them would have a meaning if it weren't for love, for passion. And to achieve true love, we have to go through training, through suffering.

Satan affects people in many various ways. Among these effects, one of the worst is the sense of inertness. Believers should counter it through their will and wisdom.

Khidr (pbuh) tests people from time to time just as the way he tested the Prophet Moses (pbuh). People do not realize they are being tested by him. He not only tests but also educates people.

Satan, the self, dissentious people, blood-shedders, warmongers, thieves, evil people; all are a part of the trial. "If it weren't for " some people say. They will always exist. If the trial exists, so will they. What you must do is to respond to them patiently through wisdom and willpower and defeat them.

Forbidding looking beautiful, attractive, alluring, handsome does not lead to virtue, to chastity. Being virtuous and chaste is only possible through compassion and wisdom.

If you told those [who are weak in faith] to remain sleepless for the sake of God, to serve Islam, they wouldn't do that; but if you told them that they would win a car if they waited standing up for days without any sleep, they would do it without hesitation. This shows the tendency of the inner self to assume an animalistic, dishonorable, low character.

If one allows his lower self to take control, the lower self will start acting like an animal; it will act primitively like one.

The human body tends to behave like an animal when left to its own devices; it will just want to eat and sleep, it will easily get scared and act selfishly. One should balance out that animalistic side by means of faith. One shouldn't allow oneself to act like an animal.

Forgiveness is a characteristic God appreciates greatly. That is because revenge might give a lowly pleasure to one's soul, but forgiving is hard; I mean it [forgiveness] necessitates will-power and wisdom. That is because in forgiveness one does not achieve satisfaction, but revenge might bring satisfaction. That is why God takes forgiveness as a basis.

God wants sincere love, to be loved sincerely, to be loved with passion. Otherwise, the universe would be meaningless for God. In other words, God is only satisfied with sincere love.

There are gardens, orchards, fruits and rivers in Heaven. Heaven has everything you could ask for. But without love, these would mean nothing to humans or God. Heaven is beautiful only with love.

The British shadow state regards 90% of the world's population as primitive and lesser races that should be destroyed. All these nations targeted by the British shadow state should come together and dispose of this cruel philosophy through love, knowledge and science.
