Religion brings freedom to people. Some people got into a panic when they saw that religion brings freedom. Actually, religion is the system that brings the highest level of freedom to this world.

Religion would not destroy one's life. Religion gives joy to life. When people are religious they become lively, joyous and full of life. Since the traditionalist understanding of Islam preaches the opposite of this, people regard being religious as being introverted and as forfeiting life. When that is the case, they wait to get older to start practicing religion. They think; ‘When I get older I will not enjoy life anyway, so I won’t be losing anything while practicing religion.” Actually religion is practiced both while young and while old. Delaying the practice of religion to one’s old age is a delusion caused by the traditionalist understanding of Islam.

We are the only community that scientifically refuted Darwinism, - that communicates the fact that the Islamic Union would certainly be founded - that fervently awaits the second coming of the Prophet Jesus Messiah and Hazrat Mahdi - that values women to this extent, - that puts forth the dilemma of the traditionalist, Orthodox system, with the Qur’an - that is very keen on not making any concessions from the Qur’an - that explains the fact that it is not acceptable to preach religion in return for money, - that gives the glad tiding that the moral values of Islam will prevail all over the world.

We have cleared off the damage bigotry has caused, the understanding that caused youngsters to keep clear of religion. Right now youngsters are able to approach religion easily and at peace. The reason why they could crush Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan that easily was the lack of the quality and the rule of bigotry in those countries. They wanted to do something similar to Turkey as well but by the Will of God we have ruled out that fitna, that dissension.

There had been an enormous wedge between conservative Muslims and modern Muslim. They were trying to create a fragmentation by dividing the society into two, we got rid of that scourge. We have shown that the modern section of the society can be hand in hand with the conservative section and that they are not foes of one another.

Hypocrites are one of the greatest dangers facing the Islamic countries. Hypocrites present themselves as honest, rational people who live by Islam. But it is not Islam that they live by, theirs is a religion they have come up with in their minds. 99 % of the Qur’an doesn’t exist in the religion of the hypocrites.

Hypocrites give a struggle against believers all day long. Believers on the other hand give a scientific struggle against the satan and the system of the dajjal all day long. Believers present a feast of preaching the Message of God. The hypocrites on the other hand first make attacks like scabby dogs and then cringe cowardly.

Even the fiercest opponents have subconsciously accepted the real Islam that brings rationality, love, kindness, beauty and quality to the forefront, as explained in the Qur’an. Everyone is aware of the fact that there is no other livable model other than the real Islam the we are preaching.

In the subconscious of some people, there is a flawed logic which states that one should endure pain for religion, that people should not laugh, should not have fun and that otherwise it would not be possible to go to Heaven. According to this mentality, the flawed mindset claiming that ‘religion should be inextricably difficult for people to advance well in religion,’ prevails among them. In fact, Islam always brings the freedom of Heaven. All true religions, including the religion the Prophet Abraham brought, the one the Prophet Solomon brought and the religion our Prophet (saas) brought bring the spirit, the beauty, the freedom, the quality and the joy of Heaven. The hypocritical systems on the other hand bring the dilemma of hell, the fruitlessness and the torment of hell. With the Qur’an, Our Prophet (saas) brought utmost freedom and preached this to people. God deemed the freedoms people want in their hearts lawful with the Qur’an. He removed all the pressures on people. Commands bringing freedoms came one after the other with the Qur’an. God removed the heavy chains on people. As the freedoms enjoyed by the believers increased, the hypocrites got jealous and imagined that they had thus attained an advantage in front of the public. They tried to influence people by saying ‘we are more conservative, they are (the prophets and the companions) are living by religion easier and are changing our religion.” All the hypocrites talk about is their criticisms about how the Prophet lived religion. They state that they do not trust the Prophet in every speech they make. They regard every command about the freedoms God revealed to our Prophet with suspicion. Those hypocrites with that treacherous and ignoble mentality became stronger after our Prophet (saas) passed away and created the foundation of the Orthodox Islamic understanding. They added their own horrifying interpretations that humiliate women and claim that women are satanic and should be beaten as if they were in Islam. Muslims that came afterwards claimed that false, fabricated interpretations unknowingly as if they were the commands of God. We will insha’Allah correct this error that reached today from those days by preaching the true Islam as explained in the Qur’an.

A sharp mutual prejudice used to rule between the religious conservative section and the secular section of the society. A flood of rage was waiting at the door and the society was divided into two in the smallest incident. We have removed that rage and reconciled these two. Our modern, enlightened and vivacious side, and our being very devout has been the living proof showing that both sides can come to terms and reconcile.

One other good aspect of our activities is that we have an understanding that conciliates the conservative part of the society with the secular part. There is a lack of communication between these two parts that is being used by those who want to dissociate the society. Many examples of these have been experienced in the past. Our activities are of crucial importance to avoid experiencing similar incidents again. Both parts are the children of this country, both sides are valuable. When there is a rigid understanding, it would not be possible for the conservative part to reach people who live by the shores, to the secular ones. Both sides continue their lives among themselves. By explaining the fact that the Qur’an brings democracy, secularity and freedom, we remove the prejudices of both parties. But it seems as though some bigots are determined to divide society, so we are trying to correct this. We will insha’Allah live together as brothers with love.

Islam in the Qur’an, Islam as lived by the Companions of our Prophet (saas) is a perfect religion that brings joy, welfare, relief and a enlightened understanding of quality and arts to the world. There is a small minority that tries to destroy this religion. We will continue to communicate the right and the true path with the Qur’an, with knowledge and wisdom no matter what they do and we will practice the commands of God definitively insha’Allah.

Claiming that it is not possible to have fun and entertainment in an environment in which the Qur’an and religion is discussed would mean taking Islam out of a wide expanse of life. The Qur’an is everywhere in Anatolia, they are dancing halay and have their weddings in houses where there are copies of the Qur’an. Women and men of Black Sea play horon together. They have the Qur’an with them as well. In the Southeast of Turkey, women dance halay together with men. They too have the Qur’an. God’s name is mentioned and verses are read, the Prophets are talked about in djemevi in which women and men whirl together. Do they think all those should be banned as well? Since such a thing would not be acceptable, it is important to create an environment in which people will be able live according to their thoughts and their faiths comfortably.

Bigotry is the plot of the satan; it is the religion of satan. Islam is the religion in the Qur’an. Islam is a pure and immaculately radiant religion. Bigotry is like mixing milk with poison. Islam is the religion of good manners, joy, high quality, vivacity, happiness, love and peace.

Satan wants to complicate religion. In fact God deemed religion easy. In the Qur’an, God says : “God desires ease for you; He does not desire difficulty for you.” (Surat al-Baqara, 185) “We will ease you to the Easy Way.” (Surat al-A’la, 8) “He (God) has selected you and not placed any constraint upon you in the religion — the religion of your forefather Ibrahim.” (Surat al-Hajj, 78)

According to the Qur’an, it is not unlawful for women to wear décolleté in safe environments or to speak about religion when women are present.

Believers do not ask for any wage for their efforts in the Path of God and never expect anything in return. Follow those who do not ask you for any wage and who have received guidance. (Qur’an, 36: 21)

Every day is like holiday for those who believe. Those who do not serve religion get tired both spiritually and physically.

I do not take any royalty for my books or other publications. It is religiously unlawful to preach religion in return for payment.

I have a sincere and beautiful dialogue with young people. This is something that no other religious scholar has. Since we present a life style that young people want, they approach us with love and admiration.

A person who constantly thinks about God, who loves God and is sincere all the time would always think good. Those who submit themselves to God would think in the best manner all the time.

A person’s sincerity would instantly be understood from the cordiality in his manners and language. One feels at ease and peaceful in the presence of a sincere person. The negativity of the insincere person would be felt instantly. Our Prophet (saas) was a very sincere person, people felt very at ease and safe in his presence. Hazrat Hamza came to him while he was fully armed yet he instantly found tranquility and peace when he saw our Prophet’s positive tone and electricity.

A profound love for God is required before all else for respect to exist. Once one’s attention is constantly given to God, respect would come about. Otherwise selfishness would develop and people would almost be reduced to a bestial state and become aggressive.

A strong movement of dajjal is necessary for the trial of Muslims. What is miraculous is that those who believe are able to defeat the system of the dajjal despite their limited means. The Prophet Abraham defeated all the armies of Nimrod with his limited means, so did the Prophet Moses and our Prophet. God says the followings in the Qur’an: “Those who are unbelievers should not imagine that the extra time We grant to them is good for them. We only allow them more time so they will increase in evildoing. They will have a humiliating punishment.” (Surah Al-Imran, 176) “Do not be deceived by the fact that those who do not believe move freely about the earth. A brief enjoyment; then their shelter will be Hell. What an evil resting-place!” (Surah Al-Imran, 196,197)
