In order to encourage people to perform their prayers, you can make them love God. If they love God, they would want to show their love to Him through prayer.

It is important to perform prayers by knowing and thinking about the meaning of the prayer and expressing our deep love for God.

It is unscrupulous and shameful to remember one’s family only from holiday to holiday for an hour or so.

Our brothers should be strong-willed about performing their prayers.

Performing prayers (salat) turns people into noble and precious beings. There are only a few things declared unlawful by God; all else is lawful and acceptable in religion.

The age that a child can begin performing prayers depends on his or her consciousness. One can begin performing prayers once he understands God’s Existence.

The whole world is a masjid (place of worship). Having a clean place is sufficient to pray.

There is no command in the Qur’an declaring that one cannot perform prayers in a room with pictures.

They keep millions of women away from performing prayers and taking ablution by making up hundreds of rules, none of which are in the Qur’an.

Young people can perform their prayers wherever they want. They should pay no attention to those who seek to alienate them from prayers by raising spurious difficulties.

Some circles misrepresented Islam as if it were introverted, joyless and far removed from freedoms. It is not possible to live by the religion they portray. Many people who appear to be conservative do not even perform their prayers. Because they have presented prayers as if it were an intricate, complex form of worship that is impossible to perform. The religion God described in the Qur’an is easy.

Taking ablution and performing prayers is very easy according to the Qur’an. Complicating prayers and ablution is a plot devised by the satan to keep people away from performing prayers. All sects add arbitrary, made-up sunnah and obligatory conditions to perform prayers, on their own. They all contradict with one another even about lawful and unlawful acts. Lawful and unlawful acts according to Islam are defined solely by the Qur’an. There is no such thing as performing prayers and taking ablution differently according to each sect. How to take ablution and perform prayers are defined in the Qur’an and they both are easy to perform.

I want the whole world to love one another. The Chinese, Americans, Russians, Pakistanis, everyone is very sweet. Let everyone love one another. Let the youth be merry. Let us all sing songs and dance. Let us plant flowers in front of everyone’s home. Let us remember God altogether. Friendship and companionship are very pleasant and beautiful. It is unbelievable that there are fights, conflicts and disagreements instead of what is beautiful and pleasant.

Eid Mubarak. May God bless and bring light on all Muslims and let us live to see more Eids to come.

Our brothers should wake up happily for their prayers. How nice it is that when we wake up we see a bright and clear world. One might wake up paralyzed in the morning. One might wake up and see that he is physically disabled with his face disfigured. Or he might wake up and see that he is in Hell. How nice it is that Allah wakes us up nicely, feeling delighted.

A believer considers serving Islam as a blessing but hypocrites don’t want to serve Islam. They follow their own evil religious law. Living alone, being stingy and feckless, leading an aimless, vain life, any act of moral turpitude and lying are all acceptable in the evil religious understanding of hypocrites.

A believer could never understand the spirit of a hypocrite or an unbeliever. It is a way of life that believers do not know and would never understand.

A believer who lives according to the moral values of the Qur’an is responsible to protect others like his own children. This is the system of guardianship in Islam.

A believer who strictly adheres to the Qur’an would never be unhappy or withdrawn.

A calming tone is always right. One needs to correct every provocative sentence, invite people to mildness and be moderate.

A careful person can detect malevolent people from their negative energy. When hypocrites walk into a place, their negativity is sensed immediately.

A compassionate person does not have prejudice or show bias against people. Being prejudiced is ignorance and vulgarity.

A cultivated person of high quality would never associate himself with prejudice.

A good joke gives joy to the person at which the joke is directed.

A good person is understood from his words, balanced state of mind, courtesy, understanding of compassion, sharpness of mind, peaceful face and wit.
