Let everyone speak out their opinions, let everyone criticize. Why is there the need for curses, for defamations? Curses burn out those who curse. They would have their hearts torn out. They would lose their happiness and joy. They would lose the radiant light in their faces. That would give them pain.

Lethal criticism is not acceptable, destructive criticism is not acceptable. Criticisms should be constructive.

Opinions are nice. Freedoms are nice. Criticisms are nice as well, but only if done in kindness. When bad language is used, the laws, the legal system makes it right.

Anyone who likes can criticize religion but no one can insult. I criticize communism but I would not let anyone insult communism, I would not let anyone curse them.

Swearing is a very vulgar and atrocious act. Why is there the need to swear when it is possible to make reasonable criticism.

Criticisms are nice; criticisms increase one's quality and beauty. They help people in finding the truth.

There is no harm in the criticisms of European Parliament about Tukey. We would benefit from it if there are any justified aspects.

Our Prime Minister is a person open to criticism and suggestions. But that cannot be done by putting someone on shame, ideas should be voiced eloquently.

A Muslim would be open to admonition, open to good words.

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

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.

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.

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.

God says, "No one despairs of solace from God except for people who are disbelievers." It is quite abnormal to lose hope that people will become better. Advising such people and putting them on the right path is what should be strived for.

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.

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).

There is a beginning and an end for everything. God has neither. Beginnings and endings are only for those who are created: Yet Alhamdulillah, because we are carrying the soul of God we will have a beginning but not an ending in Heaven.

A Muslim should be steadfast. I mean he should refrain from losing his temper or getting angry.

What kind of an attitude is mentioned in the verses of the Qur’an? One that doesn’t give way to any tension, rage, or any kind of disturbance in the heart; not giving way to such manners. Not feeling afraid or sad, not being uneasy. In short, the Qur’an mentions an attitude that avoids all sorts of attitudes that could psychologically disturb a person.

A Muslim would be aware of evil plottings but would not be distressed about them; that is because God is the One Who creates them as well, so a Muslim should keep his calm.

When you talk about Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) you will be aware of the antichrist (dajjal); when you talk about the dajjal you will be aware of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). These two constitute a whole. I mean everything is created with its contrast; like day and night, or good and bad. If there is a dajjal, there absolutely is a Mahdi; if there is a Mahdi, there absolutely is a dajjal.

If you want your words to be healing and instructive, you should be aware that the Qur’an has taken a lenient, gentle attitude as a basis. That means fair admonition, saying good words, approaching people with compassion; those are the commands of the Qur’an.

A destructive attitude is unacceptable for a Muslim. God says, “” He says, “If you had been rough or hard of heart, they would have scattered from around you. “

Compassion, mercy, leniency: That is what we ask from God, is it not? What do we want in Heaven? We want Almighty God to forgive us and to be lenient, compassionate and protective towards us. We therefore need to treat people in the same manner as well.
