All the Prophets and Mahdis that have been sent have increased the number of religiously lawful acts and decreased the unlawful acts. But idolaters have always increased the number of unlawful acts and decreased the number of lawful acts. The fact is, however, the number of lawful acts are very high in the true religion.

Religion is a blessing. A greater part of people- may God forbid- regard religion as if it is an affliction. Actually, religion is the ornament of the world, it is the joy of life, it is the light of the mind, a relief of the heart, it is a divine gift.

Religion is a system that gathers all the beauties of the world inside. There is joy in religion, there is merriness, there is fun, there is music in religion. Ladies can wander around comfortably, they can wear revealing clothes if they like and cover their heads if they like; no one interferes them. They can laugh as they like, they can have tattoos if they like. Religion would not interfere with such things. Religion commands us to have a good conscience and be conscientious, to be honest, to be reasonable, to be meticulous about what is lawful and what is not. Religion is the other name of joy.

All the beauties of life are in religion; there is music, there is fun, there is joy, there is love. Religion covers the whole of life and makes all those religiously lawful. There are very few religiously unlawful acts. Religiously lawful acts on the other hand are innumerable.

Once the made-up superstitions of the bigots and the radicals are discarded, the immaculate, pure and lucid religion of Islam remains behind.

Islam prevails everywhere. One can mention the Name of God while having fun or in a wedding. There is no such thing as saying one cannot talk about God in a place of entertainment. This is the result of a mindset that tries to spread irreligiousness presenting it as if it is something in demand. That is because people are very fond of music and entertainment. These people say “Do not talk about God when there is music and entertainment. Simply keep quiet.” Irreligiousness is the result of such a mentality.

The bigots say that Islam is the religion of the grave. You live under the soil, you live in darkness in their world. And they say, “There is radiance in their world, there is light, there is music and there is art. There is life in their world, there is dance; such a religion is unacceptable. Religion is lived under the soil, it is lived through with torture. You live in blood and pus and that is what religion is,” they say. And some naive people believe in this. They thus surrender to satan unknowingly. We are spoiling this game and we will continue to do so!

According to the radical mindset, religion is a faith for the grave; it is a religion where death and darkness is experienced. In irreligiousness, there is music, there are paintings, there is fun, there is dance and there is life. In religion – according to their mindset- there is no music, no life, no fun. It is like they are buried alive. Everything is unlawful according to their mindset, everything is forbidden and there is no life! It is like the life of a man buried under asphalt.

Religion is like a user's manual on how to use this world. It teaches us what we should do for the Hereafter and for this world. Or else we wouldn't have known how to behave.

Islam is the true path and thus remains standing but all the systems of persecution have vanished. "Falsehood is always bound to vanish." That is the promise of God.

Religion does not serve politics, politics serve religion. We are making politics serve religion. Politics is simply a servant. Religion is the law of God. Knowingly or unwittingly, everyone would serve religion.

Religion is honor. Demanding something that religion does not demand would be ignominous, honor would then be disrupted. If you claim that God is saying something while He clearly does not, if you make additions to the religion of God, that is when one would actually become dishonorable, that is when one would lose his honor.

Let Turkey relish religion, let the whole country relish religion. Let the warmth and the protectiveness of religion envelop everywhere. Let us see the warmth of religion in the clubs, let us see the warmth of religion on the beaches, in the national assembly, everywhere. It would be great if that happens.

Religion shows the path to live a sane, reasonable life.

Faith is in every aspect of my life, my whole life is with religion. But according to some, religion could only be practiced in a mosque.

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.

Islam, the true religion, is a collection of principles that teach people to be honest, loyal, loving, forgiving. Darwinism is against those principles.

Religion is Heaven. We will constantly keep on explaining the truth of Islam against those who try to misrepresent religion as if it brings about a life like Hell.

God made religion pleasant and harmonious with human nature. Life without religion is like hell, but some try to make it a hellish system.

Religion turns social life into heaven. There is system of guardianship, where everyone is each other’s parent, siblings and helps each other.

Religion requires wisdom and depth. People are driven away from faith by way of Darwinist and materialist education.

Some people support the idolatrous system that they call Islam. They don’t know the real religion is the true Islam that is based on the Qur’an.

Some people read tons of books, speak many languages, carry out researches and study very much, but they become merely technicians of religion and fail to understand the soul of it.

It is a great miracle that both a person’s soul and body changes so affirmatively and fills with light through religion.

Religion makes a clear distinction between the good people and the bad people.
