Some circles struggled immensely to drive a wedge between Turkey and Russia. Yet all such attempts proved futile thanks to our efforts. We've thwarted such plots with my articles published in Pravda and other publications and helped rebuild the friendship between Russia and Turkey. Putin saw through the plots behind the Russian jet incident and saw President Erdogan’s honesty. Now, these two leaders will, insha’Allah, build an alliance.

Mr. Erdoğan is a brave leader who boldly takes on the British deep state.

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.

In the Qur'an, ladies are not commanded to wear a headscarf. They are advised to wear hijab only temporarily to protect themselves, if the situation requires it.

There is no headscarf in Surah Nur . Surah Ahzab mentions the necessity of hijab when there is a threat to the safety of ladies.

Mr. Erdogan is a brave, driven man and is very protective of Muslims. All his life, he’s been through difficulties. That’s why Turks love him. We will continue to support and protect Mr. Erdogan from the plots of the British deep state.

It is up to ladies to decide how to dress according to the circumstances. God commands ladies to wear hijab only when they need to protect themselves.

2023 is an important date, everything is happening very rapidly. President Erdogan is a man with a special task; that is why God bestows courage, patience and perseverance on him.

President Erdoğan believes in the fact that the Qur’an is enough and favors the movement of the Mahdi. By the grace of God, no one could harm our President; he will carry out his duty.

Turks don't want to live by the mentality of a couple of misogynistic, anti-modernism, anti-art people. They want modernism and joy.

The Islam of the companions is the true Islam. The mentality that opposes art, quality, beauty, freedom will be never successful.

President Erdogan is a good man, a good leader. He is very driven, hardworking. They should leave him alone so he can serve the country.

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

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

One of my favorite quotes from President Erdoğan is, “We are here to be servants to this nation, not to be a master.”

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

We want a world in which all women – both those wearing jilbab (full covering) or revealing clothes - are respected highly.

If a person lives solely for God, and does everything solely to please God, there will be no risk of idolatry for that person, insha’ Allah.

All the prophets were the most progressive, modern personalities of their times. It is irrational to regard modernity as a bad thing.

Many conservative people don't really know that the Qur’an is sufficient as a guide. With compassion and understanding, we will continue to explain them the truth.

God created the eyes only as an instrument. In fact, the electric signals sent by the eyes to the brain are too weak to create such high quality image. The world we see is directly seen by the soul itself.

Music is very nice when performed with love and passion. A cold, ceremonial performance will not have the same impact on our souls.

Many people are doing the most treacherous thing by forgetting God. This is inconceivably immoral.

God creates the feeling of love and the people to direct that feeling to. If God took the feeling away, humans would be able to do nothing about it. For this reason, God should be loved the most.
