Any state lacking quality would collapse. Any state that oppresses women would be ruined. That is because half of all people are women. There will be no relief or comfort if women are oppressed there. God takes revenge.

If we become Europeans, be enlightened and loving, if we hold women in high esteem, if it is seen that women are free in our country, if we attach importance to the arts, sciences, aesthetics, we would attain the highest quality. Anything other than that would cause our ruin.

A country in which women lack quality, could never attain quality and success. Such a country can never attain quality, can never be modern and European. If women in a country are not enlightened, free, happy and well-groomed, if they are not free in their joy, in their laughter, in sports, in their eating, etc., such a country can never be an enlightened country. Such a country would be dark and every country that becomes overcast would definitely be ruined. May God forbid.

In bigotry, homes lack quality, their cars lack quality, their streets lack quality. An incomprehensible degeneracy pervades around them. The quality of the clothes goes bad, the quality of paintings, food and everything goes bad and becomes blunt. Bigotry advocates this bluntness, this crassness and this lack of quality and that is a grave danger. We need to be very cautious against that.

Poverty might appear to be a pitiful concept on the outside, but actually poverty makes people humble, devout and good-mannered. It makes people appreciative of blessings and makes them recognize the value of those blessings.

One should be fastidious about religion, protect and watch over Islam strongly. God protects us and watches over us. He gives us our eyes, nose, mouth and ears. He makes our hearts beat non-stop. We would drop in our tracks if it didn't. He gives us food, He creates colors for us, He creates voices, He creates beauties. God is constantly attending to all our needs.

It is important that sincere, honest, modern -thinking pious people are at the forefront in all aspects of life. It is because such people are a guarantees for everyone: Christians, Jews, atheists: Those people fear God and won’t do anything that is not in good conscience. This is a great guarantee for everyone.

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."

We are a modern, high quality nation of the Middle East. Those who attempt to destroy us would be attempting to destroy the world and this is impossible, by the will of God.

In order for a pious, religious generation to be raised, first of all the invalidity of Darwinism must be explained scientifically. It is impossible to get religion across through a dialectic philosophy.

In regard to faith, Muslims should hold good intentions for one another's devoutness. God alone knows who is faithful and who is not, and this will be seen in hereafter.

Many who reveal themselves to be irreligious may be essentially secretly believing since they ponder, search and study matters. That is why we should not exclude anyone who is atheist and irreligious. We may not know it from the outside, but he may be reflecting on God and trying to understand.

People saw that they can be religious in their hearts and souls. They have seen that they can listen to music; they have seen that women can wander around without covering their heads yet be religious and perform their prayers at the same time. Therefore, religion has become widespread covertly in Turkey and found a great foundation everywhere.

Ladies wearing low-neck dresses are perfect Muslims; so are those wearing headscarves. Bearing hostility against women wearing low-neck dresses is as shameful as bearing hostility against women wearing headscarves. We condemn both of these attitudes.

In the Qur'an, the provision regarding the covering of women is verse 59 of Surat al-Ahzab. In the verse 59 of Surat al-Ahzab, God commands women to wear hijab covering all her body when she feels at risk or under threat.

People from all walks of life support and love us, including ladies with headscarves, and those with modern clothes. They’re all great people.

It is crucial to show that women will be respected no matter what they choose to wear.

Ladies should be treated equally and with respect, no matter what they wear, be it headscarves, or modern, revealing clothes.

God’s order in the Qur’an about ladies attire is not the headscarf. God advises ladies to wear hijab if they feel unsafe; and ladies are to decide that when it is necessary.

Bigots are driving people away from religion with rules that are not in the Qur'an. For example, there is no headscarf in the Qur'an. But ladies are supposed to wear hijab only if they feel unsafe, and only until the danger is gone.

Ladies will of course adorn themselves; they will be adorned like flowers. Gentlemen will be adorned as well; they will be handsome. The time of the Mahdi (pbuh) is an age of adornment, an age of beauty.

I love my sisters who prefer to wear the burkini or the hijab. I respect their will and patience.

Men's interference on women should be lifted already. That is really embarrassing and it is the shame of centuries. People should be saved from this scourge in no time. Ladies should enjoy utmost freedom. They should be able to dress as ever they like, they should be able to talk as ever they like and go wherever they like.

No one should interfere in anything about women. Women should always be subjected to positive discrimination. Wherever we go, we should them as very high quality, immaculately clean and well kept.

They present Christmas as if it is a tragedy. We celebrated the birthday of our Prophet (saas) with pride and we do so every year. Why are they appalled with the birthday of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh)? He too is a prophet of Islam. He too is one of our Prophets.
