A believer will never defy God, and will be content with Him no matter what happens. He will always trust God.

They think that it is heroic to complicate Islam to the point of being impracticable. They want plenty of things to be rendered unlawful. Yet they don’t even refrain from committing the deeds declared unlawful by themselves. They say, "Otherwise everything would become lawful". That is the way Islam is; everything is lawful. Unlawful deeds are in the few. Such compulsion has no place in Islam. Prayers are quite easy to perform as well. Bigots are devastating the religion by complicating it.

Homosexual relations will forever be deemed unlawful. It has been unlawful since the beginning of the world and will remain so till eternity. God never approves such foul behavior.

When the Qur'an commands "do not go near to fornication" (Surat al-Isra, 32) this verse forbids sexual relations which are unlawful.

Islam promotes liberties to the utmost. There are only things that are lawful and unlawful. People are completely free within the boundaries of lawful and unlawful. In other words, social pressure has no place in Islam.

Homosexuality is a disgusting perversion that is completely against the human nature. God has rendered women lawful for men through marriage. This is what God granted as beautiful and a blessing.

God has created women as pure as divine light, as befitting of human nature. Take women lawfully in marriage. Once you marry a woman, you will be together forever, even in the afterlife. Homosexuality is forever unlawful. Men having homosexual relations with other men instead of pure, beautiful women, is a horrible and disgusting deed.

Women should look attractive, well-groomed, charming yet be highly virtuous. Looking attractive is not unlawful. What is unlawful is unchastity.

Since they don’t abide by the Qur’an, they form four different sets of what is lawful and unlawful, that is to say sects, and then ostracize each other. Religion is one, not four.

Mourning is unlawful according to religion, it is an ancient pagan custom. As the ancient Sumerians, ancient Egyptians, Persians, Hittites did not believe in the afterlife, in martyrdom, they considered death as a disaster. They would cry as to rebel against God. Us Muslims regard martyrdom as [achieving] an honorable rank.

No one should do anything to cause panic among our people; everyone should keep their calm and trust God. Everything is under control.

God protected our country. But no one should panic and act with alarm.

Martyrdom is a reason for joy. Martyrdom is an honor. It is wrong to grieve after martyrs; grieving is a pagan tradition.

My friends are not attached to this world. They put their trust in God and act only for His good pleasure.

Some people may not have deep faith; only with mature faith one attains a stable mood. That ‘s when trust in God and fear of God becomes how it needs to be.

Muslims place their trust in God and refrain from anger. Anger causes physical harm to human body.

God has given very nice secrets that would keep one's mind sane. Before all else, one's commitment to God would keep away all immorality, all abnormality. Putting one's trust in God would take away the torment one does to himself. When he becomes patient, he would become friends with everyone around. When one is loyal, he would attain a personality everyone would love. When one criticizes himself, he keeps his sanity intact. When one is criticized by others, he becomes a rational, stable and loveable person.

What one would be doing in his lifetime is already defined in his destiny. What will happen is already preordained in destiny but he worries nevertheless, yet God has created everything in the best way possible. What is the sense of this worry? I mean there is no logic behind it and there is no rational explanation for that worry. That is because everything has already happened anyway. You are worrying in vain. Almighty God has created the best in everything.

Muslims are always in a good mood. What does sorrow mean? May God forbid, it means, "I do not like what God has created for me." We see the goodness in everything God creates. We see the goodness in it when we have a martyr; we do not get sad, we do not mourn. Mourning is a custom of the pagans, it is the tradition of the idolaters.

Mourning is a custom of idolatry, a custom that was in practice in ancient Sumeria, Mesopotamia, the Hittites, in ancient Greek, in ancient Egypt. In numerous hadiths, our prophet (saas) has prohibited mourning. It is against the Qur'an. It is rebellion –may God forbid- to the blessings of God. It is not an act that befits Muslims; the meaning behind it is atrocious. There is no mourning in Islam.

Let us please put aside the habit of crying at the funerals of martyrs. It is not in compliance with the Qur'an, it is not in compliance with our customs; there is no such habit in the morality of Islam. That is a custom observed since the ancient Sumerians. It is not appropriate to cry after those who have gone to Heaven.

God creates and God takes away life. A believer won't feel sad to see a beloved pass. They’ll be happy because their beloved is now with God.

A martyr is guaranteed to go to Heaven. It’s wrong to cry for a person that is in Heaven. Everyone should be happy about martyrdom.

According to Islam, to the Qur’an, it is wrong to grieve for a martyr. A true believer is proud of martyrdom.

Those who do not mention God, who distance themselves from God feel a sense of agitation and tension; a groundless sense of fear, a considerable anxiety. God afflicts them with restlessness.
