A Muslim should never say, "I have performed my prayers, so I will be able to go to Heaven and that would be enough for me." A Muslim should want his rank to be high in Heaven. There are different ranks, Muslims are in a competition with each other. They should want to reach higher and higher. And there is no end to it; how nice this is.

God is Great in the spiritual sense. God does not need greatness in volume. That is because He is out of time and space. Time and space exists for us, however.

Knowing the artistry of God, recognizing the Greatness of God, brings about plentitude from God; that takes away troubles, brings about relief. When God is forgotten somehow, pain and sufferings never let people in peace.

A house eventually keeps you warm, prevents you from feeling cold. That is your prison; your prison in this world. If you look at things in the light of faith, your house would be like a house of Heaven. But if you look at things in the light of unbelief, your home would be like one of those cells in the Hell; it troubles you, the walls close in on you, it bothers you all around and makes you suffocate.

Some people say, “What if God did not create pain?” Well then you would be obtuse. Let us say that you have gone by the river in Heaven; you would simply look at it with vain eyes. But if you have suffered through ordeals, you would kiss each and every single one of the pebble stones in Heaven numerous times. Almighty God gives people a lengthy life and makes them experience these ordeals because it is crucial. After that people people return to normal.

Some people ask, “Why does God create pain?” There is beauty in the essence of pain that is why. Paradise cannot be attained without pain. There is no love without pain. A person would then be obtuse. One needs to go through all these ordeals and pains to gain that profundity.

The world is like a tiny piece of dust in the vast universe. We are even immensely smaller than the tiny dust on that tiny being. But Almighty God rules over all of it; He doesn't sleep but we do. He doesn't get ill, neither does He die. He rules over all the atoms in the universe. God has limitless power. It is very important to have the reasoning to appreciate that, to have the attention and will power to appreciate that.

Disasters will continue to engulf the world so long as Darwinist, materialist education is continued. A language that defies - May God forbid – God is being used and that is done in schools all across the world. These people say “There is no God”; they say “What Darwin said was true. You have all been created as a result of coincidences.” This would offend God. That is the reason why the world is left bereft of riches. Bloodshed, scourges, and great pains have enveloped the world and this still is escalating. They should listen to reason and stop doing that.

If you know yourself, it means you know God.

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.

Time in Heaven will be endless for Muslims. That is because they are carrying God's Soul. God's Soul never dies; just like there is no death for God, there is no death for His Soul either. God says that He breathed His Soul into man.

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.

Almighty God always uses a proper and kind tone, He always treats people properly; therefore, He never broke the hearts of any of the prophets. No matter what the prophets said to Him, Almighty God always replied to them with a kind language.

The only One to be revered is God. He is the Greatest, He is Omnipotent.

God takes revenge from those who do not love Him despite the blessings He bestows on them. If they had loved God very much, the world would turn into Paradise.

God knows what is in eternity and shows us all those things. He educates us by testing us.

Beginnings are only for us, humans. There is no beginning or end for God. Starting from the time God created us, there is no end for us too.

Beauty and aesthetics are indispensable characteristics of Muslims.

Islam is where love and affection can be experienced in the most beautiful fashion. Muslims are in love with Muslims; they never put a limit to their love because they love with the love of God. Would one be surprised at the love of God? One should not be surprised at the love for other people either. That would always increase. A Muslim could never say, "I love God this much," as that love is endless.

Women are ruined in the traditionalist orthodox understanding of Islam. They can neither have the freedom to dress up, nor to laugh, or to sit properly or to walk about as they like. Even their eating as they wish is an offense. They [the radicals] say, "If you let them eat a lot, they would go rampant and cause you troubles. If you let them wear beautiful clothes they would attempt to go out to the streets to show off."

This homeland does not lack an owner. They are putting on a plot that would fence in the government; that would mean the collapse of the government. I mean, they are trying to drag the government into a federation. That would ruin the government, that would ruin Turkey; that would ruin the Middle East, as well as the world.

They misrepresent Islam as a religion of the grave, as a religion of violence. They make it seem as if a Muslim is the one who hangs others, who chops them up, who beats them and insults them and as if there is nothing else to it.

The US does not let Turkey go into Kandil. That is immorality. I mean what happened to your being against terrorists? What happened to your being against ISIS? What happened to your being against Al-Qaeda? If they are killing one man, these people, the PKK, are killing thousands. They have martyred ten thousands of our soldiers.

Chopping people up, cutting their heads off and holding those heads in their hands, leaving everywhere in blood, in cries and groans, hunger, unaesthetic, ugly images, depravation; this is the dreadfulness in which a great many portion of the believers of the orthodox understanding of Islam live in.

Fighting ISIS, fighting Muslims is not superiority. You educate them if they are ignorant, you explain to them the truth if they are on the wrong path. Nothing can be solved with blood. Blood cannot be cleaned with blood.
