How is it acceptable to initiate children into performing prayers as if they are initiated into gymnastics? Children should be taught why they should be performing prayers and how one prays lovingly, by feeling inside, by understanding the meaning of the prayer.

Hazrat Khidr (pbuh) is waiting for centuries to perform prayers in Hagia Sophia with Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and the Prophet Jesus Messiah (pbuh).

One needs to look and admire the rich details in God's creating. Then the love one feels for God would increase even further. When love increases so does the fear of God. When fear of God increases, so does your submission to God. When your submission to God increases, it would be as if your nerves are taken. Your mind would be at ease and you would be very much relieved. You would feel a sense of relief, a sense of contentment and ease insha'Allah.

One can never be bored of love or affection; one can never be tired of the love of God. However the feeling of weariness, boredom exists in the human soul. Muslims are able to overcome this feeling with their faith. For that reason an ordinary man gets tired of his wife, from his beloved ones but a Muslim would not because of their faith. However in disbelief, weariness enwraps a person very easily. With the power of faith weariness is crashed. It can be crashed in proportion to that person's faith.

Alevis are very dear and they are very devout people. First of all their souls are very open to love and arts. Think how enthusiastic the love of God would be in a person whose soul is open to arts and love. Because they love God fervently, they feel love for arts and they are in love with the Prophet (saas), they are in love with Hazrat Ali (ra). Alevis are the ornaments of Turkey, they are the ornaments of this world, they are such radiant people.

We need to present the prayers to the people in the easiest form. Complicating prayers would only draw people away from performing prayers. Being a facilitator is the command of God, it is the command of religion.

If you exert pressure, people would feel abased. You would make people who normally would not consume alcohol start consuming alcohol, you would cause people who would normally perform their prayers, stand apart from prayers; things that would not normally happen would start to happen. I mean oppression would disrupt a person’s balance.

Ignorance brings about communism. Ignorance brings about fascism. Ignorance brings about wild capitalism. A cultured, well-informed person would not get into those tracks. That is because once one sees information, he would be seeing Allah’s artistry. Once one sees the artistry of Allah, he would fall in love with Allah. One who falls in love with Allah would fear Allah and feel a profound love. Such a person would abide by the Qur’an. He would thus become the most perfect, best person on earth, insha’Allah.

If there is no art, no quality, then build as many bridges, as many roads as you like, and nothing would stick. Art, aesthetics, faith, joy, merriment, fear of God, love for God should be everywhere.

Muslims should say; “Oh my Lord, give me an infinite love and an endless closeness.” There is no end to love. That is because this is a place of trial; it is a place of racing. God refers to those who are the foremost in the race. What does “being foremost in the race” mean? It means being foremost in piety, it means being resolute, it means striving in the path of God and attaining the love of God.

You patiently endure difficulties and thus you show your love. If you do not endure difficulties, gratification would not be formed either. “I feel love but I do not endure difficulties,” that is not acceptable. Even in the story of Layla and Majnun they endure difficulties and that is that love appears nice to us. When one endures difficulties for the sake of Allah, when one endures pain, it would be beautiful. Or else everyone could feel love.

If you feel in love with Allah, if you taste that fervent love, then you would kiss the soil of the Heaven. Everything will be very beautiful for you and you would never be bored from them for all eternity, you would feel a deep affection.

One would be happy and have his mind relieved when he performs his prayers, when he performs ablution, when he submits to God’s will, mentions the Name of God, reads the Qur’an. God has created man in a way that he would feel that need. One would be suffocated if he doesn’t live all these beauties. These are all blessings that prevent one to be drawn in that water, these are lifesaving blessings.

Complicating performing prayers is an intrigue of the bigoted mindset. Prayers should never be abandoned.

There is goodness in the morning prayers. It brings health and abundance. The morning should be greeted awake with prayers.

The prayers (salat) should be performed immaculately just like it is described in the Qur'an with great sincerity. There is nothing complex. You perform your prayers joyfully, lovingly and peacefully. Trying to complicate the prayers is a satanic behavior. Satan attempts to turn it into something complicated so that people abandon their prayers.

We may be constantly experiencing miracles but only those who think could become aware of them. God has set a special trap for those who do not think, He has set a trap with the reasons. Some are suffocated inside those reasons and fail to see the truth. They imagine that they are walking about by themselves, in fact God is the One Who makes them walk, they want to go to somewhere but God is the One Who takes them there.

Time is more precious than gold, it is far more important. One should use time with all his might. Instead of watching TV series for 4 hours, for 5 hours, increase your general culture, increase your knowledge, help people, clean your surroundings, make yourself high quality. Attach importance to aesthetics, science and arts, give importance to them.

A person falls ill from his arm and he constantly goes to medicine. But why do you not also pray for it? Make your prayers, medicine is just a vehicle, what does it have to do with medicine? Know that God is the One Who created medicine, be aware that medicine is only used as a prayer and apart from that simply pray for the cure.

Praying is being in a constant connection with God. God approves prayers, God loves prayers. That is explicitly stated in the Qur'an. That is because it forges a connection with Him. Christians are very well aware of this secret and they enjoy the taste of it. So God accepts their prayers. That is a very crucial matter.

I am a 33rd degree Freemason. I now have the right to enter the freemasonic lodges. I do have the right to enter the lodges in the States and in Europe, I have the right to enter the lodges all around. And I have the right to enter these lodges as the Grand Master. I have to right to give conferences and have talks as the Grand Master. I wouldn't be able to enter these lodges without being a Freemason, I wouldn't have the means to communicate religion under their roof if I were not a Freemason.

The most beautiful solution against terror and anarchy is Islam as the Companions of our Prophet lived. This is the system that Christianity would be able live in comfort, this is the system that Judaism would be able to live in comfort.

The Bediuzzaman says; "the East will be strengthened only with religion." No country has ever gained power through philosophy. That has always been attained with religion. The same is valid with Christians as well; in Europe they have always gained strength with religion. Also the Jews; they have always gained strength with religion. The only reason for the strength of Jews in this world is the Torah.

The miracles of our Prophet (saas) that have been realized in the End Times are being concealed. If the headlines of a well-recognized newspaper, a newspaper in Europe, the Guardian for instance were to read; "How did the Prophet Mohammad (saas) foretell the comet with two horns?" even with that millions billions of people would start to believe.

If Ocalan wants to do good, he should support the Unity of Islam with open statements and repent for his sins. He should pray for the unity and togetherness of the Turkish Nation. He should pray for this dissension to be removed from our people.
