The prayers (salat) should be performed immaculately just like it is described in the Qur'an with great sincerity. There is nothing complex. You perform your prayers joyfully, lovingly and peacefully. Trying to complicate the prayers is a satanic behavior. Satan attempts to turn it into something complicated so that people abandon their prayers.

When Darwinism is taught as a scientific fact instead of superstition in the text books, the existence of Allah would be rejected –May Allah forbid- thus faith would be annihilated. We look at the biology text books and see that there is nothing against Darwinism. That is not acceptable. The invalidity of Darwinism should be explained with scientific evidences.

The superstitions told by bigots do not constitute the religion of Islam, they are the religion of idolatry.

What does purification mean? There are some unnecessary redundancies; they are cleaned and thus purified. What would Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) be doing? He would be purifying. How would he do that? He would clear Muslims from the superstitions of radicals. He would clear the plots of the satan. What is left behind? Pure revelation.

The essence of Islam is ultra-modern, the superstitions and life style of idolaters on the other hand are ultra-radical.

In the Qur'an, Allah says that our religion is as easy as the religion of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). Allah says; "Allah desires ease for you; He does not desire difficulty for you." Some people try to make religion difficult; they try to show things that are not in religion as if they are. Allah has made religion easy, He has relieved people of heavy loads and chains around them. Almighty Allah says this about our Prophet (saas) ".. those who follow the Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, whom they find written down with them in the Torah and the Gospel, commanding them to do right and forbidding them to do wrong, making good things halal for them and bad things haram for them, relieving them of their heavy loads and the chains which were around them. "

When there is a weakness in faith, Allah scorches the world and does not give happiness. That was the reason for the collapse of the Ottomans, that was also the reason for the collapse of Seljuk Sultanate. When a bigoted structure develops, when a conservative structure develops, when arts, science, love decreases, when people become estranged from the spirit of the Qur'an, disasters assuredly follows.

Religion is a magnificent structure in which welfare, love, beauty, peace, goodness, forgiveness, democracy, freedom of thought and the most sophisticated, most beautiful aspects of arts and science are displayed. Some people ensnarl religion and alienate people from religion unnecessarily. That is the way they serve the antichrist (dajjal).

What does the bigoted mindset do to make people alienate from religion? They complicate the religion. That is a very sly plot of the satan. When they complicate the religion even though it is really very easy, people start thinking that religion cannot be practiced and give up. Actually living by religion is really easy.

Scientific truths cannot be covered up with Darwinist superstitions.

The organizations like Al-Qaida take the commands of violence from superstitions embedded into the traditional Islamic sources.

Both Shia rigidity of certain Muslims and Sunni rigidity of certain Muslims stem from traditional Islamic sources which are known as reliable although they are infested with many superstitions.

A bigot is both pitiless and, because he asserts he acts in the name of Allah, he silences the other party. That is why he is very dangerous.

The religion is very beautiful, Islam is very beautiful. There is no allowance for bigotry.

Religion cannot be spread with superstitions. Religion can only be spread with straightforward evidence. The Islamic World has turned into a living hell because of the understanding of religion as the superstitious scholars told.

The superstitions brought about by fanatics consist of dark documents and pitch-black, made-up information. They are all lies put forth with conjecture and assumptions. Evidence of truth cannot be like that. There should be Clear Signs. What is the Clear Sign? It is the Qur'an.

In an environment surrounded by other bigots, a bigot pretends to believe in superstitions in order not to lose his interests in that interest-ridden system.

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

A Muslim would not believe in nonsensical superstitions. He would not believe in irrational, impertinent things. There is a rational, sensible understanding of Islam. We can neither make an addition, nor subtraction from religion.

Radicals constantly talk and speak about superstitions. What is their aim? They have no love inside. All they talk about is how to beat a man, how to behead someone, how to humiliate women and that is it. They are philosophizing on how to hate each other. There is no love in radicals.

When you abide by the easy religion of God, when you abide by Islam that is natural, pure belief, the religion of Mohammed (saas), you go to Heaven. But in the religion you make difficult with superstitions, in the religion you rarified and made impossible to live by, you go to Hell. Both your world and your Hereafter will be Hell. Why are you looking for such trouble?

The Islamic world is groveling right now because of their superstitions; they are ruined because of that. Radicalism brings along timidity. When that is the case, the bravery and self-reliance of the companions is not formed.

We cannot search for all those acts that are lawful in the Qur'an. Only the unlawful acts can be searched for in the Qur'an. That is because the number of unlawful acts is very few. When there is a proof in the Qur'an for something being unlawful, there is nothing further to discuss . But if there is no command in the Qur'an proving that something is unlawful, nothing can be banned based on superstitions.

There is no place for superstitions in faith. Religion is very rationalistic; the miracles of the Qur'an, presented with scientific evidence and facts leading to faith, all conform with rationality. The path of reason should be opened. The way to think rationally should be demonstrated. The beauty of thinking conscientiously and sincerely should be taught. When one thinks sincerely, he would attain faith anyway.

They covered Islam with a dirty sackcloth. What people see right now is that filth. The superstitions fabricated in the name of Islam are causing great troubles for the whole world. It was satan who covered Islam, and we will be the ones who will uncover it and bring forth the true Islam. The true Islam will introduce people love and compassion.
