Many people are after their own pleasure and their own joy and use Islam to that end. They keep busy with their trade, looking for ways to eat, drink and travel, to get married and get on with their lives. This is the mindset of a great portion of the Islamic world. That is why God ruins the Islamic world. God wants them to turn towards Him yet they do not. God says, "You are after the transient blessings of this world but the Hereafter is the abode that is auspicious and beautiful, if you only knew."

No one would ever dare to act disdainfully in the Sight of God. They cannot respond in such a disdainful manner. God says, 'I will not let them speak in the Hereafter.' God says, 'slink away into it and do not speak to Me.' After God tells them not to speak, they cannot speak any more. Their tongues will be tied, God paralyzes their tongues.

Those who do not have faith in the Hereafter would be distressed; their faces, their souls would be darkened. But those with faith in the Hereafter would feel as if they have been given a great glad tiding in their souls, telling them that they will live eternally. Their hearts would then feel relieved.

In regard to the future, the Hereafter is the only goal for Muslim. The Hereafter is the joy and reward of a Muslim. A Muslim always hopes for Heaven. A Muslim fears going to Hell but always think about Heaven and concentrates on Heaven.

Just as we will be held accountable for our wealth and property in the afterlife, most importantly we will be accountable for what we did with our time on Earth. God will ask us all, "How did you spend your time?" Believers should always keep this fact in mind.

Almighty God emphasizes the importance of belief in the Hereafter and Heaven, and of preparing oneself for Heaven. A Muslim should concentrate on that topic and discipline himself in that respect. I mean it should not be blurred information but a clear knowledge. Life and Heaven should constantly be nested in one another.

If one thinks about Heaven superficially, his brain could only perceive it superficially and a superficial belief could be formed. But if one concentrates well and, comes to have faith nicely and asks for that information from God insistently, Heaven and the Hereafter will become clear in his mind.

Religion is a blessing. A greater part of people- may God forbid- regard religion as if it is an affliction. Actually, religion is the ornament of the world, it is the joy of life, it is the light of the mind, a relief of the heart, it is a divine gift.

In this world the trial we are living is a seemingly one; actually, in the esoteric sense, we are being educated, this world is a course. Because God already knows what we will do. He is the One Who created us. In other words, God knows what we will do since eternally before. We have already been here and done that. The point of this trial is to train us, to show us our true selves. God makes us face our true selves. In other words, He makes us love ourselves. He is preparing us for the afterlife.

Religion shows the path to live a sane, reasonable life.

All the Prophets and Mahdis that have been sent have increased the number of religiously lawful acts and decreased the unlawful acts. But idolaters have always increased the number of unlawful acts and decreased the number of lawful acts. The fact is, however, the number of lawful acts are very high in the true religion.

In the afterlife, those advocating creation through evolution will not be able to explain the beauty of a horse, or the creation of even the single one of its mane hair.

This life is short, our life in hereafter is the real one.

We are all moving towards death. Everyone has to prepare with serious effort for the hereafter every day and each passing minute.

God creates a perfect symmetry and beauty in all living things. Those who say they came into existence by happenstance will give an account of this in the hereafter.

One would go insane without religion. Life would be horrible.

Faith is in every aspect of my life, my whole life is with religion. But according to some, religion could only be practiced in a mosque.

Religion is a system that gathers all the beauties of the world inside. There is joy in religion, there is merriness, there is fun, there is music in religion. Ladies can wander around comfortably, they can wear revealing clothes if they like and cover their heads if they like; no one interferes them. They can laugh as they like, they can have tattoos if they like. Religion would not interfere with such things. Religion commands us to have a good conscience and be conscientious, to be honest, to be reasonable, to be meticulous about what is lawful and what is not. Religion is the other name of joy.

All the beauties of life are in religion; there is music, there is fun, there is joy, there is love. Religion covers the whole of life and makes all those religiously lawful. There are very few religiously unlawful acts. Religiously lawful acts on the other hand are innumerable.

Islam, the true religion, is a collection of principles that teach people to be honest, loyal, loving, forgiving. Darwinism is against those principles.

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

Religion is Heaven. We will constantly keep on explaining the truth of Islam against those who try to misrepresent religion as if it brings about a life like Hell.

God made religion pleasant and harmonious with human nature. Life without religion is like hell, but some try to make it a hellish system.

Religion turns social life into heaven. There is system of guardianship, where everyone is each other’s parent, siblings and helps each other.

One should have only good opinions about God; God should never be forsaken. Good opinions about God must not ever be given up even under the most difficult conditions.
