When you love someone, you don't act curtly towards that person, you don't act stingy, you do not act egotistically; you look out for that person's comfort, you have that person's best interests at heart.

If you act rudely, you lose love. If you behave kindly, you gain love. If one is egotistical, he loses love; if he acts in a self-sacrificing manner, love will come back instantly and it will come back even stronger.

You would appear as a mad person when you boast, when you become haughty. That would be very repellent and you wouldn't be loved. When you boast, when you act haughtily you make yourself unlovable. Why do you boast? Why do you act haughtily? You do so, to make people love you, right? Actually it has the exact opposite effect and you lose all the love you have.

Some people might be thinking that they would not be able to take pleasure if they give their love to God. Actually only then they can take the greatest pleasure; only then God would give that depth, that profundity.

The one you say you love is actually an image inside your brain. Who is the One Who creates them to the smallest detail? Who is the One Who makes you love and Who makes you speak? God is the One Who creates all these. I mean there is nothing that belongs to the person across from you. If you give your love to an imaginary idol instead of God, that would be the worst kind of deception: You would be deceiving yourself.

It would not be acceptable if love is contaminated with idolatry. For instance, one might say, "I do love my friend a lot, I do love my spouse a lot." And when then asked, "Do you love God?" he says, "I love God as well." That is not acceptable. He should say, "I love my spouse for the good pleasure of God, I love my friend for the good pleasure of God. I love them as the manifestations of God."

I do love Bediuzzaman Said Nursi and I am proud of that. I do love Sheikh Nazım Al-Qubrusi. I do love the Menzil community. I do love Süleyman Hilmi Tunahan. I do love His Highness Abdulbaki Erol. I do love all Muslims. I do not adopt the haughty attitude of some so-called intellectuals. I always express my love openly everywhere. Timid, cowardly, insincere attitudes always bring about disasters, inauspiciousness and nothing else.

God says, "If you forget Me, I will forget you as well." That is something known to the human soul as well; a person would want to see the most beautiful response to their love and that is also what God wants.

God only wants love. If you begrudge that love, then God would make you feel the pains of life, death and everything else many times over.

Almighty God says, "If you love Me, if you appreciate Me with My true measure, then you will have strong love as well." That is because those who fail to appreciate God with His true measure couldn't know love. How could one who is unable to appreciate his Beloved know love?

Without love, without passion, without profundity, without real love; what are you looking for, everything loses its meaning. You know as some say, those left behind are beastly people. They are so repulsive, so disturbing to us, we have trouble calling them humans. But if one is self-sacrificing, courageous, patient, determined and brave we feel an admiration for him.

A Heaven resided in by robots is not an environment God likes, God doesn't want robots. One who hasn't proven his loyalty, his patience or his courage wouldn't have a feeling of self-worth in that sense. That means he couldn't regard himself as worthy and beautiful if he didn't make sacrifices, if he didn't act generously, if he didn't strive on the path of God, if he didn't do anything to show his love.

Satan prevents people from pronouncing the word "love". In response, everyone should insistently utter the word "love" in their speeches and in their writings. Love is the key of this world, it is the key of life. Once it is opened, the whole world would be opened.

What a pleasant feeling love is; love cats, love butterflies, love people. What would you lose? Have your heart's content, you will have your heart open up, your brain will be relieved. Your mind would open up. Open them all; loving is an act of worship.

Love is in the spirit of people. Hatred, rage and quarrelsomeness are horrible feelings; they would ruin one, be the end of one. One would become sick, may God forbid. One's heart cannot bear it, one becomes distressed and strained. A lack of love is a poison for the body. The body would be refreshed with love.

Some people appear on television programs and you see that there is a cruel environment in which everyone tears down one another. If they were to say, "All will be solved if we approach each other with love," with a single sentence. They can't say this. If they were to get used to using such terms of endearment, their sphere of influence would expand. They should talk about love at every opportunity.

The word "love" is not used anywhere. Say it once, say it and you will see that you will open up. Say “Bismillah” and then mention love, you will see that it will follow. Get used to saying it. Let us encourage youth, let us encourage everyone. Let us start a campaign. So that people will get used to write about and talk about love.

Religion is love, it is relief, beauty, exhilaration and joy. It enables you to use the blessings of God legitimately in the most beautiful manner. An understanding of religion which claims that it is an offense to turn right or to turn left, to look upwards or to look downwards, is not acceptable. That would devastate people make them psychopathic and cause them lose their sanity. It is cruelty to complicate religion. And they are carrying out this cruelty without being aware of it.

Love is the most beautiful aspect of the world. It is the most beautiful aspect of life. That is because love is interconnected with faith. Those who love God would also love people as His manifestations.

Weak and pessimistic words are not acceptable. One needs to avoid that in general. They should talk about the solution. There is nothing to be ashamed of and it is not something they should be offended by. Love is a splendid word.

Some people speak about everything that could be negative yet fail to pronounce the remedy for it. They need to give utterance to that remedy with a single word; that word is “love”. Everyone should make their mouths get used to pronounce the word love. The only solution for this sickness, for this disaster in the world, is love.

Some youngsters imagine that the more they fight, the more they make innuendos, the more they would appear to have a strong character. How could one who doesn't know about love be strong in character? First of all, one needs to know love in order to be qualified as human. There is nothing left without love.

If one writes even a single sentence about love, that sentence would get hold of that person. That is to say that person would be captured by that sentence but as they write only hateful things, they become captured by what they write. Those letters hypnotize them and that profane language gets them into a state of hypnosis. Actually if they were to hypnotize themselves with love, they would have been under the influence of that hypnosis. They would be enveloped with that love as they write.

We need to make love take hold and become fashionable. The writers should also take the initiative and make love a constant agenda. This lack of love would ruin people; it is so horrible. If terms of endearment are uttered, if people talk about love, they will eventually get under the influence of love.

They do not have to make a mistake simply because Israel is mistaken as well. If you approach them in a friendly manner with love, you will see that they will become your friends. You approach them in a friendly way, with love. But if you approach them with knives they will approach you with bombs and tanks. There will be no end to this. But if you approach them with love, you will see that they will become your friends and respond with love. That is a secret of the Qur'an.
