Those who say that life must be miserable and wretched with no art or joy are ruining the Islamic world. We will not allow them to ruin Turkey in that way. Why should we not have music, or dance? You must come to your senses. What is there about these things that is incompatible with the faith? What verses of the Qur’an are these acts disobey? What harm do they do anyone? Where do you get these ideas from?

There is terrible turmoil all over the world. People may be wondering, ‘How can Islam ever prevail and how can the system of the Mahdi ever make any headway under these conditions?’ But that is the really amazing thing, how God will bring about the reign of Islam despite all these things.

The shadow state apparatus has a plan to encourage traditional, orthodox Islam, and thus make Islam look aggressive and psychopathic, and to set Muslim against Muslim. This is a grave danger.

For the sake of our country, for the sake of our national security and national integrity, the policy of hatred should end. It is important to stem the tide of bigotry, as its main policy is hatred towards everything.

It is important to approach Muslims with compassion, no matter what. Because if you choose to get angry with them instead, you’d have to cut ties with almost ninety per cent of them. For instance, you call ISIS terrorists, and while we are vehemently against their ways, most Muslims in Afghanistan, Pakistan and India share the same views as ISIS: It is because they were raised that way. That is why we should try to save them, approach them with compassion, instead of severing ties with them.

In Islam, it is wrong to be averse to Jews. Surely, one can feel resentment towards those individuals who have committed sins or those who have oppressed people. In that case, those individuals should be held accountable through the legal system. But blaming the entire Israeli people, that is forbidden. It is not Islamic.

Fear of the future is religiously unlawful, a Muslim cannot think that way. God is the One Who creates every single second of our lives. All the precautions you take might come back to you as troubles. For instance, you might think about saving money but that might all end up going for cancer treatment or somehow otherwise be spent. You buy a house and God makes it collapse on top of you. One cannot put his trust in such things, but only in God. Anything other than that would be very wrong and would offend God.

It is explicitly stated in the Surah An-Nur, verse 55 - and also in many other verses - that the Islamic world will unite. In the Qur'an, Muslims say, “O Lord, make us leader of those who are God-fearing." That means the Islamic world has a leader, a chief. There is no mention of a leaderless society in the Qur'an, all the societies in the Qur'an have a leader. The Islamic world will have a leader [as well]. They have nothing [they can use] to deny that.

Some people imagine that having fun would draw the Wrath of God. Actually not being loved, being forgotten, ungratefulness and a lack of love draw the Wrath of God.

The system of the Mahdi is not a claim but a demonstration. Islam prevails in the world and an individual takes the lead of the Islamic world. We can then think that he is the Mahdi (pbuh), God knows the truth and that is all (we can do). We cannot enunciate it either, we can only say, "God knows the truth, he might be the one."

Some people assume that Islam can only prevail with huge expenses, great activities, organized movements, by doing things covertly, etc. Look at the Qur'an and you'll see that Islamic values have always prevailed metaphysically. The whole issue is in attaining sincerity.

Having fun, Islam, the Qur'an, eating and drinking and everything else; life is a whole with all its entirety. There is no life far-remote from Islam. I mean there is no such thing to call "this part is Islamic and this part is non-Islamic." Islam is in every breath we take; while having fun, while laughing, sleeping, lying and waking up; Islam is in everything and everywhere one can think of. Any moment of life one claims to be outside of Islam is full of unawareness and means devastation.

The government should protect and watch over the rights of women, freedom, democracy, music, arts and everything that is beautiful. The government should look out for quality and aesthetics and state that "these are the characteristics of the Turkish Nation."

Every time one gets away from Islam, from the Qur'an, from Muslims, every single second is written as a sin against you, every single second. You will answer for every single second. Keeping away from Islam, from the Qur'an, from Muslims is unlawful. You might assume that it is something easy, but you would have to give an account for every such single second in the Hereafter.

Why are you pushing for difficulty? There is music in Islam, there are arts. You can laugh and have fun, you can dance as you like and perform your prayers as well. Then you can go travel and swim if you like. Killing every aspect of social life has no place in Islam. You deem all lawful things unlawful. God has given all those to you as blessings, and by wiping out these blessings, you are struggling against the religion of God.

Arts, entertainment, beauty and music are not forbidden in Islam. They ruined the Islamic world by taking all the beauties away from Muslims.

Music is a vital blessing of life. The traditionalist Orthodox Islamic conception forbids music. It forbids everything that is beautiful. Why are you doing this? Where is the harm in music, where do you come up with such an idea? No such thing is mentioned in the verses of the Quran. Why do you fabricate superstitions?

God will create entertainment and beauty duly in paradise. God created this world with imperfections on purpose.

Entertainment, music and dancing were shown as blessings that must be prohibited to Muslims. These worldly blessings are for Muslims.

Listening to music, taking photos, dancing, art, science, beauty, having fun; none of those are unlawful by religion.

Every aspect of the understanding of religion outside the Qur’an is horrible; laughing, dancing, painting, statues, music, women’s going out, children wearing shorts are all forbidden in their twisted minds. In some Islamic scholars perverse understanding, the penalty for shaving one’s beard or not performing daily prayers is death. None of those have any place in the Qur’an. The religion that they promote that has no place in the Qur’an and it turns this world into a living hell.

Everything in Heaven will dance whenever they like. But it will be very different to the dance in this world. The dance in Heaven will be mesmerizing, fascinating.

The hypocrite is always working against Muslims. He spends 24 hours a day wondering what devilish things to do. But since the means at his disposal are limited, so is his range of activity.

Darwinism is a worldwide devilish movement under the protection of the British shadow state.

The hypocrite is a devilish model of a human being. He is always dishonorable. He commits one foul deed after another. He never stops, because his lower self is under the control of the devil.
