Why are you pushing for difficulty? There is music in Islam, there are arts. You can laugh and have fun, you can dance as you like and perform your prayers as well. Then you can go travel and swim if you like. Killing every aspect of social life has no place in Islam. You deem all lawful things unlawful. God has given all those to you as blessings, and by wiping out these blessings, you are struggling against the religion of God.

We are the radiant face of Islam for the whole world. When those who know Islam as a horrible, introverted, loveless system that has a grudge against women, that has turned life into a horror, see Islam as we live it, when they see Islam as it was lived at the time of the Companions, they feel an admiration for Islam. And they recognize that Islam is their salvation. Otherwise, they are all in misery.

People are preaching religion wrongly. They are talking of it as a horrible and inextricable system. Praise be to God, being the radiant face of Islam, we have spoiled that plot of the satan. Or else Islamaphobia is a system that could annihilate all Muslims.

Every time one gets away from Islam, from the Qur'an, from Muslims, every single second is written as a sin against you, every single second. You will answer for every single second. Keeping away from Islam, from the Qur'an, from Muslims is unlawful. You might assume that it is something easy, but you would have to give an account for every such single second in the Hereafter.

One finds peace and tranquility in Islam. Islam would bring one relief, it would provide friends and companions, wealth and riches, it would bring about plenty. You can live in peace with everyone. Unbelief, on the other hand, is like a poison, it brings about pain and suffering. One grovels in unbelief.

Having fun, Islam, the Qur'an, eating and drinking and everything else; life is a whole with all its entirety. There is no life far-remote from Islam. I mean there is no such thing to call "this part is Islamic and this part is non-Islamic." Islam is in every breath we take; while having fun, while laughing, sleeping, lying and waking up; Islam is in everything and everywhere one can think of. Any moment of life one claims to be outside of Islam is full of unawareness and means devastation.

It would be very strange for a Muslim not to know anything about the Torah and the Gospels. God refers to the Torah and the Gospels in the Qur'an. It is not acceptable if you refer to them as if you are talking about a myth. They are living, current Books. You simply do not practice those corrupted passages.

If you are hateful towards Israel, reject anything that is modern, live in filthy houses, if you are loveless and hateful towards Russians, Greeks, Iranians, Shias, Alawites, Wahhabis, if you keep dropping innuendos about everyone; then you would be falling in the clutches of satan. Don't you see the atrocious position you are in? These are all very wrong. Love is the only thing a Muslim knows, so you need to be full of love.

Muslims are charged with saving Muslims. You cannot discard them saying that they are terrorists. You cannot discard them saying they engage in violence. They can be Muslims but they can also be at fault, they can be mistaken. You correct their mistakes, their faulty ways.

I would never discard any Muslim community as a whole. No matter what kind of a sin they committed, they are Muslims in any case. We are to love Muslims. They might make mistakes, they might have flaws, we are to simply correct their ways. We are to talk to them and tell them the falsity of their ways.

The British deep state is trying to replace Islam with Rumism. Muslims should be very cautious against this plot.

There is no hatred for Jews and Christians in Islam. On the contrary, they are protected as the People of Book in the Qur'an. A Muslim cannot have any aversion neither to them, nor to their places of worship. God tells us in the Qur'an that Muslims may marry Jewish and Christian ladies; indeed, some of the wives of our Prophet (saas) were Jewish and Christian.

It is important to approach Muslims with compassion, no matter what. Because if you choose to get angry with them instead, you’d have to cut ties with almost ninety per cent of them. For instance, you call ISIS terrorists, and while we are vehemently against their ways, most Muslims in Afghanistan, Pakistan and India share the same views as ISIS: It is because they were raised that way. That is why we should try to save them, approach them with compassion, instead of severing ties with them.

Living by Islam means beginning to live entirely in accordance with one’s conscience. It means entirely abandoning the mentality of denying the existence of God.

They have misrepresented Islam as ugly and frightening. They have misrepresented it as a system of violence, as a hellish movement. They have misrepresented Muslims as killing machines, as fond of massacres, and thus caused people to take a great dislike to Islam. The fact of the matter is, however, that Islam means beauty, aesthetics, arts, reason, knowledge, culture, understanding, goodness and sincerity.

Those with the characteristics of the Pharaoh would be jealous when they see Muslims' success. A Muslim is an individual with the highest quality, the highest level of intelligence. A Muslim is the best person in the world. Islam does not promote a corrupt, rotten mindset.

A modern, enlightened, loving Islam, that is based on love will prevail in the world. They should not struggle in vain other than that. It is not possible to attain any results without a modern understanding of Islam.

Islam will appear in the face of this world as an utterly modern, joyous, healthy system, open to science and arts, open to beauty and aesthetics. It will appear like Heaven. Islam will not be an environment full of filth and darkness, causing people to suffer, hanging people, chopping people up, far removed from aesthetics; it will not be an environment in which filthy people are living. God would not harm Islam like that and will not let Muslims harm Islam like that.

The world would never accept an understanding of Islam that is incompatible with human nature. First and foremost, God would not accept it: Every time they attempt to bring about such a corrupt, rotten, filthy understanding of religion that reminds one of Hell, God would degrade them, humiliate them, drag them on the ground and ruin them; let me state this openly. They should forget about it.

There should be music, there should be paintings, there should be statues, there should be aesthetics; young girls should be able to wander around well-groomed, young men should be able to wander around handsome and glorious. Let everywhere be like an art gallery. Then the whole world would admire Muslims.

They superfluously make Islam into something horrible. Wherever there is something awful, they attach it to Islam. There is no such thing. Islam is like a spring festival.

It is of course very important to be at our Prophet (saas)'s elbow. It is a great comfort for the Companions of our Prophet (saas). Actually people do not know the Islamic community that well. Muslims are like a big family. If one has a mansion with thirty rooms for instance, he fills it will Muslims, the food is cooked for all of them. The goods are distributed. Trade is done together, everything is shared and done commonly. That is an unprecedented system.

‘’We did not send down the Qur'an to you to make you miserable." (Surah Ta-Ha, 2) One would think. Do you not understand? If you are miserable that means you are on the wrong path, if you are having difficulties that means you are on the wrong path. Islam is a religion of ease.

People should stop trying to teach morality to women. They need to educate men. Women know what they should do very well. People should stop trying to instruct women on how to dress, how to laugh, how to sit, how to look.

What the PYD/YPG is after is the only region on the Turkish border that they couldn't get hold of, and that is Cerablus. That is a small region that they want to get hold of. That is why they demand weapons. Or else they have nothing to do with ISIS. What they are after is to establish a Stalinist state.
