A person can only become beautiful with faith. Faith brings about radiance, faith brings about light. And one would turn into a magnificent being with faith.

I am against radical Islam. I maintain an understanding of Islam in the European sense, in the sense that the Companions of our Prophet (saas) lived in, in the sense that the residents of the Heaven live in. This world should be like Heaven; there is a mistake if it turns out to be Hell.

Muslims will see the Palaces and all beautiful glorious places, all high quality places. Arts, science, aesthetics and quality all belong to Muslims and they will always be for Muslims, they will be only for Muslims in the Hereafter.

Radicalism is wreaking havoc in the Islamic world. The Ikhwan should strike an intellectual blow against this and bring forth the modern understanding of Islam, the understanding of the Companions of our Prophet (saas). That would be amazing.

A radical understanding of Islam is not acceptable. Such an understanding of Islam would never be accepted anywhere in the world. The world cannot live in peace in radicalism, you cannot live comfortably. People can only be comfortable in a life compliant with the Qur'an, in a life compliant with Islam in the Qur'an.

Man would be happy with arts. When one sees another dressed beautifully, he would feel happy; when one sees beautiful houses, he would feel happy. Be it in music, in paintings, in sculptures, people are in search of beauty; people search beauties which would cheer them up in everything. When one sees such things, he would feel happy.

The most beautiful, the sweetest, the most positive and the truest of everything; that is religion. If you ask what is the best of everything; that is religion. Beautiful words, beautiful clothes, beautiful speeches, beautiful food, beautiful houses, beautiful streets, beautiful flowers, beautiful women… The most beautiful of everything.. Masha'Allah.

It would be cruelty to impose a wild model of fanaticism as Islam.

Islam is purity, cleanliness and quality. People with the highest quality and highest civilization should come to mind when Islam is mentioned.

We need to potentiate kindness and embarrass the evil ones among people. For instance when something is criticized the response should be given in ten folds of beauty.

God wants us to be free. God wants us to live like we are in the Heaven. “Why should God punish you if you are thankful and have faith?” says God. But in Buddhist belief, in some ancient belief systems ordeals and self-inflicted pain are considered as a way to get close to God.

Freedom would bring about comfort and abundance. We should protect Jews, we should protect Christians and irreligious people as well. Let us create such a liberal, refreshing, beautiful environment. A very wealthy, sound understanding of religion would prevail in such an environment. Secularity is a system that exists in the essence of religion.

Let everyone live as ever they like, as ever they desire. There should be no interference on Internet, or on Facebook, on Skype. People’s religion or ideas should not be interfered. Let everyone be free. Religion would prosper very easily in such an environment.

Those on the side of the Mahdi (pbuh) would always talk about stopping the bloodshed, about love, compassion, freedom, peace, science, arts and aesthetics.

Freedom and peace is the command of the Qur'an. It is a blessing Allah has given us, it is a characteristic of the Heaven. A Muslim would always want freedom and peace anyway.

The system of the Mahdi is not oppressive, I mean some people would be performing their prayers and some won't in the system of the Mahdi. Some would not be covering their heads, some will wear low neck clothes, some will wear hijab but everyone will be happy. Everyone will be free.

People with almond shaped moustaches who do not understand anything from art or aesthetics, people who wouldn’t say boo to a goose, people with glassy eyes… such a youth is not acceptable. Youth should be alive and well, they should bring joy to everywhere. With their laughter, with their smiles, with their talks, with their joy; there should be harmony in their eyes, they should present such a wealth and beauty of soul.

Ultra-modern Islam is an amazing inclination to arts and aesthetics and taking science to the highest level. It is the beauty of style. It is aiming the most beautiful manners, the most beautiful appearance; in short it is aiming the most beautiful of everything that is good. When you completely abide by our good conscience completely, you become ultra-modern Muslims.

If shoddiness, filth and dirt are widespread in a country; arts, science, aesthetics and soul dies there. May Allah forbid. That is no good. For that reason, we should look for beauty and aesthetics to the fullest and we should beautify everywhere we go.

Beautifying life, making it pleasant is the duty of a Muslim. Allah charges us to turn this world into Heaven. We will beautify the gardens, we will beautify people. We will beautify children. Houses will be well-kept, cars will be well-kept.

Love and beauty. Look, these two subjects [are important]. Allah is pleased as the result of these. One should love Allah, one should love those who love Allah.

Love for the Prophet Jesus (pbuh), love for the Mahdi (pbuh) stems from love of God.

If in an environment, there is no place for the arts, if there is no love; if there is only pain and horror, if there is destitute, then there would neither be industry, nor wealth, nor joy in that environment. There will be nothing. No matter how much you help them. I mean it would be like giving blood to a corpse. Give a thousand liters if you like, that corpse would not be revived. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), Jesus Messiah (pbuh) and the Unity of Islam are the only way to bring life to that environment. There is no other way.

One of the greatest shortcomings of Egypt is that they never talk about the Mahdi (pbuh). God gives riches to those who talk about the Mahdi (pbuh).

Morsi should suggest establishing a coalition government in Egypt. He should be in cooperation with people from all walks of life, with people of every thought. A modern policy embracing all people would be great.
