Secularism means the nonbelievers, Christians, Jews, Muslims, everyone will practice their beliefs with ease; no one will be able to interfere with their beliefs. There will be no compulsion or oppression. This is what secularism means. Everyone will be free to live their lives any way they want.

Nonsense and falsehood nourishes terror; the Qur'an defeats all mindsets nourishing terror in the ideological sense.

Bigots have made up many rules about not reading the Qur'an. They almost made it impossible for people to read it. Because of these invented rules, people distance themselves from the Qur'an in the name of respect to it. But the Qur'an is like bread and water. A Muslim should always keep his Qur’an by his side. It is the entirety of a life of a Muslim.

The kind of Islam by which young people can easily abide is the one based on the Qur'an. What is in compliance with our nature is the one in the Qur'an.

Islamic conception preached by the Quran is already a moderate one. We want the believers to live Islam as preached by the Quran. Nothing should be included in or removed from the Quran. All we say is abiding by the Quran as it is.

There was no ‘religion of Ahl al-Sunnah’ in our Prophet’s (saas) time. There was only the religion of the Qur’an. Certain circles seek to pit Muslims against each other by creating division using Shia-Sunni differences.

Claiming that a page of the Qur'an was eaten by a goat, and was therefore lost is a vile word spoken with no due respect for God -may God forbid- or the Companions.

Some have merged the philosophy of Rumi, Darwinism and homosexuality. By promoting it, they preach an Islam which is not based on the Qur'an.

Taking lessons from every verse would be healing for a Muslim. It brings relief to his heart.

Protecting churches and synagogues is a provision stated in the Qur'an. Being anti-Jew or anti-Christian is not compatible with the Qur'an. We need to approach everyone with love and compassion. No one can know who deserves to enter paradise in the Sight of God.

People are expected to choose between believing in superstitions or to be irreligious. These are the two impositions upon them. But when people saw a reasonable conception of Islam, they felt relief. The Islam we preach is solely and purely living by the Qur'an. It’s honest and sincere Islam.

Radicalism is a dead system fed by superstitions. They’re nonetheless trying to keep it alive. The Qur’an is suitable for human nature.

Hypocrites can’t stand talking about God or reading the Qur’an. They learn everything, but don’t wish to learn the Qur’an.

They imagine that Islam will cease to exist when there is secularism. Secularism means irreligious and religious people living together in comfort. Islam guarantees the coexistence of both irreligious and religious people.

Secularism, democracy and freedom are the principles of Islam.

"There is no compulsion where religion is concerned." This is a command of God. This is also a summary of secularism.

We are a modern, secular, enlightened, democratic community that takes everything beautiful as a basis, that demands what is elegant and high-quality, that are keen on what is lawful and what is not.

We learn the most right, beautiful and sensible form of secularism by way of the Qur'an. Islam advocates secularism.

Secularism is best explained in Islam and the Qur’an. The commandment in the Qur’an that reads “your religion is yours and my religion is mine” is the best application of secularism.

The verse in the Qur’an, “your religion is yours and my religion is mine” is the most perfect description of democracy and secularism.

Secularism doesn’t mean silencing religion. It doesn’t mean using religion either. It means living religion sincerely. If a politician wants to talk about God as he feels, he should be able to do so.

President Erdoğan is a sincere statesman who defends and preserves secularism.

Secularism is found in the essence of religion. The verse that reads: “Say, your religion is yours, my religion is mine” in the Qur’an describes secularism.

The best version of secularism is in the Qur’an. According to the Qur’an, everyone has freedom of thought and every faith is protected.

No one has the liberty to be a terrorist. No one has the liberty to oppress others. No one has the liberty to behave immorally. No one has the liberty to act vilely and treacherously. However, everyone should have the liberty to be pious and believe in whatever they want.
