They misrepresent Islam as such an intricate, such a difficult and hard religion and they show the understanding of quality in Muslims'lives as such a sheepish, such a deficient life that it seems like –may Allah forbid- a living Hell to people. Why do you not present Islam like Paradise as it actually is, why do you not present an ambiance like that of Paradise, a manner like reminds Paradise?

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.

Qur'an is a very plain and pure Book. The commands of Allah are very plain and quite simple. Complicating life is not religion. I mean propagating an environment in which people are in dirty clothes, eating filthy food, living in a filthy, listless environment with dirty looking women and men; no music, no paintings, no arts, no science, no aesthetics in an ugly rotten structure; with slanders and revilements constantly in their language and feeling hatred towards everyone. Such a religion is not acceptable. This has nothing to do with religion.

Allah would not wrong His servants. Allah would not want Muslims to live in pain. Allah would not want women to live in pain. Allah loves women. Allah created them to be loved, not to be oppressed.

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. "

One might be enraged, one might be taken unawares. He needs to keep his temper using will power and cool down. Even if he is in the right he should waive his rights saying "alright my brother" without feeling vindictive or without becoming furious.

Bigots do not talk much about love of Allah and profound faith. The things they write implicate rage and hatred in general. They do not have the power or the ability to talk about love and compassion.

Easing religion and life is the characteristic of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will relieve people of their heavy loads and the chains around them.

Simplifying is the characteristic of the Mahdis. They ease religion, they ease what is ordered, they ease life, they relieve people of their heavy loads and the chains which were around them. The task of the Mahdi (pbuh) is to facilitate. He will relieve people of their heavy loads and chains but bigots will say; "this one has killed our religion. Our religion was a hard and heavy religion, we have had many loads but this one has eased and killed our religion. "

Religion is not very complex. Religion is very pure and simple. It is not something you would perceive after months, years of education. Islam can easily be understood in two-three hours.

It is possible to calm down even the most furious person with love and kindness. A society could be calmed down very nicely if they are angry and enraged. But it is not possible to calm down society by shouting and screaming, by bullying, by making a fuss, by threatening or by radicalism.

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.

Hatred and anger should be casted away with love. Muslims of the Qur'an would approach everything with a reasonable, consistent and rational manner. Instead of getting angry with someone, they make effort for winning that person over.

Mahdi (pbuh) will ease the religion because that is what God wants.

Satan shouldn’t be allowed to deceive people by presenting salat and other religious services as difficult, Millions of people keep aloof from religion just because taking ablution and performing prayers are presented as if they are very difficult to do.

A Muslim should be steadfast. I mean he should refrain from losing his temper or getting angry.

What kind of an attitude is mentioned in the verses of the Qur’an? One that doesn’t give way to any tension, rage, or any kind of disturbance in the heart; not giving way to such manners. Not feeling afraid or sad, not being uneasy. In short, the Qur’an mentions an attitude that avoids all sorts of attitudes that could psychologically disturb a person.

No one should be using the language of conflict. The human soul is inclined both towards anger and towards love; the human soul is inclined both towards laughing and towards crying. Laughing should preferred every single time. Love should be preferred instead of hatred every single time.

Satan dragged down Islam in the world by specifically complicating it. Complicating religion is a satanic method. It appeared as the product of that filthy mind of the satan.

Before all else, a Muslim should know to resist abnormal things. For instance, he has to know how to resist rage. Yielding to rage is an animalistic instinct. Keeping one's temper is a humane superiority.

For a Muslim, losing one's temper is very bad. Rage takes over one and drags him around as if dragging around an animal. The man indulges in that feeling and disgraces himself. That is not acceptable. One needs to use his mind.

Sentimentality and anger are beneath Muslims. That is because a Muslim always acts with God in mind. He always thinks rationally and equitably. He never forgets that God is the One Who creates everything, even those things that appear to be the most horrible incidents.

Anger, hatred, lack of love and compassion, selfishness, cruelty; these feelings blacken the eyes, blacken the words spoken. Once ensnared by such feelings, that person will lose the ability to talk sensibly. Observe carefully the language of those that refuse love. They just can’t make sensible sentences.

The youth should open up their horizons. They should think more broadly and rationally. For once, their hearts should be receptive of love. This is a disorder. They should realize this and take drastic measures against it. "Why am I highly susceptible to anger, to lovelessness? Why am I fully closed to love?" they should ask themselves.

In Islam, unity is obligatory. It is obligatory upon Muslims to be together, to form a union. The word “Unitarian” also has the same meaning. It is a word that means “together”, insha’Allah. Consequently it is a provision of Allah. It is a provision of Allah.
