Adnan Oktar A9 TV; March 5th, 2016

Satan seeks to impede the mind. His most effective method to accomplish this is causing a sense of inertness. It can be readily seen in the eyes of many people. It causes an idle, dull look. Believers are like hawks. They will never give into such influence of satan.

Those who abandon the path of Quran lose their sense of reason and judgment and ultimately, lose control. Believers will never allow satan to hatch such plots.

When believers firmly adhere to the Quran, it is like sailing on an unsinkable and unswerving ship, they will never go astray.

The fear and love of God the pious, faithful people posses reflect themselves on their faces, and is felt and seen as excitement. Yet it is impossible to witness this in a person with a hollow soul, body, and mind. Because they are careless as they have severed their ties with God. And as they are careless, they have lost their sense of excitement.

Through bigotry, satan has dealt a powerful blow that aims to destroy Islam. Under the influence of satan, bigots render prayer impracticable and ablution impossible to perform.

Believers always think in favor of God and religion. Muslims cannot make an unfavorable analysis, but only favorable ones. They always assume the best [for God and believers]. But if a person is among disbelievers or is an atheist, he might think unfavorably about God and religion; however, after having faith in God, a believer cannot continue to do so. They should always give the benefit of the doubt and think positively.

Of course, a believer should be open to advice. A Muslim might make a mistake, there is nothing wrong with this but he should always pay heed to advice of others: In other words, a Muslim shouldn't be arrogant, disrespectful and snobbish, right? Even though he won't follow the advice, he should politely listen to it within the limits of the Qur'an and say, "I will try hard to do so."

Only the supporters of satan would feel anger towards believers. Real believers truly love other believers.

Beauty, happiness, love and kindness of believers infuriate the supporters of satan. They get very jealous to see those blessings.

Satan, the self, dissentious people, blood-shedders, warmongers, thieves, evil people; all are a part of the trial. "If it weren't for " some people say. They will always exist. If the trial exists, so will they. What you must do is to respond to them patiently through wisdom and willpower and defeat them.

Forbidding looking beautiful, attractive, alluring, handsome does not lead to virtue, to chastity. Being virtuous and chaste is only possible through compassion and wisdom.

History does not repeat itself. The system always progresses and gives rise to innovations; it undergoes a change in every cycle. When people try to repeat their past deeds through a romantic historical conception, it will only lead to their ruin, their defeat. We live in the era of science, knowledge, love and piety. Victory can only be achieved through love and piety. There is no other way.

When one prays to God sincerely and acts sincerely, his wisdom deepens.

In the communication of Islam’s message, sincerity and wisdom are the most effective factors. Knowledge or modernism alone will not suffice. One needs true, deep wisdom to explain faith in God. The most important thing is having a sincere belief, sincerely loving God, sincerely fearing God. The message of Islam cannot be communicated with a snobbish, pretentious attitude. Our Prophet (saas) didn't attend any universities, but achieved a world-wide effect with his wisdom stemming from his sincere faith. The Prophet Moses wasn't overtly eloquent, but he was very sincere. Because of his sincerity and deep faith, he was able to influence everyone. The Prophet Jesus and the Mahdi (peace be upon them both) will make Islamic morals triumph worldwide with their sincere faith. Jesus will not be a university graduate and the Mahdi will not have madrassa training, but they will make Islam triumph with sincere faith.

People love sincere, wise people who have a deep faith in God and they don't like those who try to show off with their knowledge. Idolaters think that God’s messengers must be well educated, etc. But the important thing is the insight and wisdom given by God. No prophet ever graduated from a university, but they were all very sincere. God rewards sincere faith incredibly. Meaningless knowledge is worthless in the Sight of God; it is faith that makes knowledge meaningful. God will not ask people about the languages they spoke.

The main reason behind the troubles that plague the Islamic world is failure to comply with the Quran.

Turkey is not just another country. In the case of Turkey's separation, the Islamic Unity will fall apart. So will the unification of the Turkish world. We will never accept anything that will lead to this.

Lovelessness leads to malice. Lovelessness makes females and males unlovely. Vindictiveness, hatefulness and resentment give way to a lifeless appearance. The individual suffers the effects of this affliction personally, leading to his own ruin. In other words it is a self-destructive system.

The youth should open up their horizons. They should think more broadly and rationally. For once, their hearts should be receptive of love. This is a disorder. They should realize this and take drastic measures against it. "Why am I highly susceptible to anger, to lovelessness? Why am I fully closed to love?" they should ask themselves.

Islam is pure love. It is the name of the system that always favor the good and benefit of the people. Islam is the system that will carry people to the highest level of civilization.

Turkey is besieged by foreign powers. The press should be respectful in their criticism especially in such an atmosphere. There is only a handful of true Muslims; it is wrong to try to make them look like terrorists through slander.

Through national consciousness classes, the youth should be taught about the dangers of communism, Darwinism, fascism, as well as the concepts of violence, love, and compassion. Our national goals such as Turkish-Islamic Union should be told to the youth.

The Messenger of God had the honor to become who he was but the sufferings he went through were innumerable. Almighty God refers to Our Prophet (pbuh) as "My beloved one" as He loved him dearly. He loved Our Prophet because of his superiority.

It is an evil system to complicate religion to the point of being impracticable, and devastating religion by creating a population unable to live it. However, God offers us a straightforward religion through the Quran, a religion that can be lived by all the communities. Bigots make people abandon it and adopt a religious conception that is impracticable and hellish instead.

They think that it is heroic to complicate Islam to the point of being impracticable. They want plenty of things to be rendered unlawful. Yet they don’t even refrain from committing the deeds declared unlawful by themselves. They say, "Otherwise everything would become lawful". That is the way Islam is; everything is lawful. Unlawful deeds are in the few. Such compulsion has no place in Islam. Prayers are quite easy to perform as well. Bigots are devastating the religion by complicating it.
