Everything beautiful in life exists in Islam but in the bigoted understanding of religion there is no laughing, music, dancing or painting.

God created the entire universe with rhythm. There is a rhythm to be found in atoms, neutrons and protons. The human body accords to rhythm. This is why we enjoy music.

God creates music in our brains. God makes us listen all music inside our brains.

It was easy to cause religion to remain reactionary with a claim that art, beauty, joy or music has no place in a believer’s life. Our showing that Islam gave freedom and provided all these beauties of life was a great shock to the opponents of Islam. This is why they are panicking.

Listening to music and dancing are lawful in Islam and women are allowed to wear décolleté clothes in places they feel safe and are not harassed.

Listening to music and dancing is religiously lawful according to the Qur’an and women are allowed to adjust their décolleté according to the situation they are in.

People who criticize décolleté clothing go to beaches where there are women wearing bikinis. Their criticisms are very insincere. Some people believe that religion and life cannot co-exist and that where there is religion, there cannot be beauty, music or art. This is not right. Those who believe that religion is a dead system with no life in it are very surprised when they see our joyful and vivid way of living true Islam based on the Qur’an. Slowly people are beginning to see that Islam based on the Qur’an offers actual freedom and as a result they are approaching Islam.

Some did not believe that Muslims could love art, sculptures, dancing and music or be cultivated and sophisticated people. They used to see all worldly blessings in the hands of unbelievers. Now that they see these blessings in the hands of believers, they are in a shock. There was a barrier built between the believers and blessings. We crushed that barrier and showed them that the believers are the real owners of these blessings.

The education of an artist is not an easy one. Artists are richness and beauty of the world. They should be appreciated as their due.

There is a false impression that there is no music, dancing or art in Islam and that Muslims are introverted and poorly-groomed people.

What makes woman a woman is her artistic spirit. Women become very attractive as they beautify their eyes, their gait, their voice and their posture with their artistic spirit.

Within the limits set by God in the Qur’an, I do the things I love when I want. I live as I feel like living. I love music, dance, women and beauty.

Women’s beauty would turn the world into Heaven. Most fields of art like poetry, music, painting and literature is based on women’s beauty.

Music is not unlawful, dancing is not unlawful. Having fun, laughing, being cheerful is not unlawful according to religion. Islam in the Qur’an bestows the utmost freedom to believers.

Having taste, appreciating quality, having an artistic soul is a privilege and can be gained through culture and etiquette training.

We need to see the lack of up and coming artists as a national disaster. New artists should be raised constantly. It is very important to increase the number of artists we have as soon as possible. We would be thwarting the plot of the movement of the dajjal if we have a lot of high quality artists. We need to increase the number of our artists in painting, in music, in architecture, in every field.

God is the true and the most glorious Artist. God beautifies the entire world with His art; He also created our souls with art. He taught us how to love.

It is crucial to never forget and constantly honor the great artists, athletes of the past.

People who have gone through afflictions turn out to be perfect artists. That’s why gypsies are amazing artists. It’s an honor to be a gypsy.

It is very disturbing that sometimes people forget about artists of the past. An artist should never be forgotten.

Artists' attitude against Trump in the US means taking no notice of him and not showing any respect to the millions of people who voted for him. Not showing respect to other people is not a good characteristic for an artist. Then people would not support that artist in return.

Lack of art and aesthetics cause conflict and unhappiness. Unhappiness in societies and oppression of women lead to tension.

God creates all the beauties, ornaments, furniture, etc. The artist is just a means. God is the real Artist.

Some circles are trying to carry out perverted subliminal manipulation on people in the name of art. They are thus trying to legitimize homosexuality, which is deemed unlawful by religion. Atheistic artists produce works with perverted themes that try to legitimize homosexuality and murder, and that conflict with reverence for the Prophets.

A believer considers serving Islam as a blessing but hypocrites don’t want to serve Islam. They follow their own evil religious law. Living alone, being stingy and feckless, leading an aimless, vain life, any act of moral turpitude and lying are all acceptable in the evil religious understanding of hypocrites.
