All the commands of the Qur’an are like livesavers. Or else people would be suffocated, life would suffocate them. Men are already living inside the stream called life. People succeed to remain alive without being suffocated because of these beauties. Without these blessings people would be suffocated and sink under this water

Submitting to God’s Will is the greatest comfort in this world. Palaces wouldn’t make one happy, but submitting to God’s Will would. Once you submit to God’s Will, all sufferrings would dissappear. That is because man is created as weak. God has created this as a blessing to man.

They have invented a new religion from made-up hadiths and they are calling it Islam. In fact the religion Qur’an preaches us is called Islam. A religion that consists of made-up hadiths cannot be called Islam. That is a polytheistic religion.

We should always be asking for perfect faith and submission to God. A Muslim should constantly ask for that blessing saying; “O Lord, make me a servant of yours with perfect faith.” That is because it is a great blessing.

One should put his trust in God. If you do not put your trust in God everything would give you pain, you would be bored of everything. Everything would make you afraid, everything would overwhelm you. All the incidents in the world would seem to come at you. As the verse of the Qur’an refers, God makes such people’s breasts narrow and constricted as if they were climbing up into the sky. One should submit to God for his heart to be at ease.

One’s connection to God should never be severed. If one severs his connection to God, he would lose his trust and submission to God. Once that happens, he would become very tense, angry and uneasy. Submission to God is one of the greatest blessings on Earth that should never be forgotten, even for a second.

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.

Religion is the spirit of this world. God gives religion as a blessing in this world. As He creates the world, God teaches us how to use this world with the Book, like a prospectus. If you use it as God tells us to, the world turns into a heaven on earth.

God refers to a leader in the verses of the Qur’an and He refers to a leader selected to lead the Muslims. Muslims would not be leaderless after all.

A person making use of his or her conscience, one who abides by the Qur’an would see the clear path of Islam, the path of the Companions; he or she would see the path of the system of the Mahdi.

A great majority of people might be in a forgetful mindset regarding God; one should not see them as real and be affected by them. God might be showing those people to him in such a state. For instance, one might be going to a disco or a nightclub and people there might not even say one word about God. He should not say, “So this is how people are. This is how this world works. Is there something wrong with me?” He should know that he is on the right path and the others have gone astray.

The power of enjoying things would be taken away from those who forget God in a very short time. They start saying, “I cannot have fun as I used to. I do not enjoy music as much as I used to. Something happened to me.” A miracle happened and you should see that. They start saying, “I am fed up with all these things, and maybe that is why.” In fact one would never be fed up with love, with beauty but a scourge befalls such people. One should always seek refuge in God.

Religion can be practiced soundly by the beaches, in discos, practically everywhere. You can build a masjid inside a night club so that youngsters go there to perform their prayers and then come back and have fun. Ladies can swim in the sea at the beaches and then go perform their prayers as they like.

Even the smallest effort is very valuable in the Sight of God. Reciting the Name of God even once would bring about abundance, contentment and stave off scourges.

How is it acceptable to initiate children into performing prayers as if they are initiated into gymnastics? Children should be taught why they should be performing prayers and how one prays lovingly, by feeling inside, by understanding the meaning of the prayer.

Some people assume that what is meant by standing in awe during prayers is to loose one's self. In fact standing in awe is sincerity. It is a sincere connection with God, it is feeling love for God with an open conscience. That is what standing in awe means.

Great majority of Muslims have their foresight and perception closed. Or else how is it possible to seclude one's self and do invocations while children are being killed elsewhere? Do your invocations as you spend your time protecting them, do invocations that would save those children.

Hazrat Khidr (pbuh) is waiting for centuries to perform prayers in Hagia Sophia with Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and the Prophet Jesus Messiah (pbuh).

Frequent repetition gives relief to hearts. Repetitions are nice. God's Name is mentioned repeatedly, love is voiced repeatedly. One would not ever feel weary of remembering God's Name and pronouncing beauties.

We need to present the prayers to the people in the easiest form. Complicating prayers would only draw people away from performing prayers. Being a facilitator is the command of God, it is the command of religion.

One should close the door to misgivings during the prayers: That is because you do not avoid performing prayers, you do not avoid taking ablution. Since you are there to take your ablution, you do not avoid doing so. You wash your hands and face. You do whatever is required. If that is the case why should you be doubtful?

Radicals believe that they are the most devout ones when they turn the life of this world into a life in Hell, when they misrepresent Islam as hellish. For instance, they believe that it is out of piousness when they turn praying into an inextricable act. They believe that it is out of piousness when they make it impossible to perform ablution, whereas God described performing ablution in a single line in the Qur'an.

The hypocrites would not take ablution or perform prayers if there are no one around to see. They only take ablution and perform their prayers when there are people around.

Many practices that are not in the Qur’an are invented to keep people away from prayer. They are used as a barrier before religion. Millions are prevented from practicing faith by means of invented practices that have no place in the Qur’an.

God commands how to take ablution with one verse in the Qur’an and it is very easy. The bigots on the other hand, come up with 600 pages of made-up rules about ablution that differs in each school of Islam. Looking at these made up rules, some people say that they won’t be able to take ablution and perform prayers. The understanding of religion that is outside the Qur’an causes people to remain distant to Islam.
