Everything beautiful in life exists in Islam but in the bigoted understanding of religion there is no laughing, music, dancing or painting.

Listening to music and dancing are lawful in Islam and women are allowed to wear décolleté clothes in places they feel safe and are not harassed.

Listening to music and dancing is religiously lawful according to the Qur’an and women are allowed to adjust their décolleté according to the situation they are in.

There is a false impression that there is no music, dancing or art in Islam and that Muslims are introverted and poorly-groomed people.

There is no verse in the Qur’an about dancing being unlawful. There is rhythm and movement in the universe. Dancing is a blessing from God.

Within the limits set by God in the Qur’an, I do the things I love when I want. I live as I feel like living. I love music, dance, women and beauty.

Music is not unlawful, dancing is not unlawful. Having fun, laughing, being cheerful is not unlawful according to religion. Islam in the Qur’an bestows the utmost freedom to believers.

There is a movement ‘dividing the public into two’ that is going on ever since the first years of the Republic and that is not voiced openly most of the time. On one side there is Ataturkist, enlightened party that loves paintings, music, dancing, statues, arts and that is full of life. On the other side there is this introverted party that does not like Ataturk, that takes no pleasure from music, paintings and arts, that are against having fun and being joyous. That is an unnamed disintegration that has long been going on in Turkey and both parties somehow feel rage for one another and cannot reconcile. Generally that disintegration is presented as the pretext for coups. That has always been the case in 1960’s, in 1971 and in 1980. This can clearly be seen when the anatomy of the coups is studied. We became a target because we have an understanding that extinguishes this division. With our narrations we clear away the rage both sides feel for one another and make it possible for the lives of these two parties combine with one. We demonstrate the fact that there is no reason to keep a distance between those enlightened Ataturkists who like culture, arts and paintings, and religious people. With our existence as an enlightened, modern, joyous, vivacious group of friends who love arts, music and beauty, who attach great importance to quality, who are loyal to the Qur’an, who practice the sunnah that are in compliance with the Qur’an, we are abating a very important dissension. We reconcile these two sides and demonstrate that the rage both parties feel for one another is baseless. We thereby provide a very important service regarding the unity of our people and our homeland. Most people may not be aware of this fact but the British deep state is and that is why they are trying to give us a hard time with all their might.

Those who make Turkey appear as antipathetical to art, dance and music are very wrong. Turkey is a very modern country.

Music, art, dance etc., they are all allowed by Islam. Some circles limit the freedom of people for no reason. Let the people live comfortably in peace, with joy. Due to their self-made and unnecessary rules, they are turning life into a living hell. Without love, arts and music, life itself becomes hellish.

Europe is not against Islam. Europe is against radicalism that promotes violence, misogyny and backwardness. Europe is right to be against radicals who hate the beauty of women, cleanliness, quality, art and music. Those radicals are also against Islam.

There is nothing in the Qur’an that says that people who listen to music or dance will go to hell. Bigots are turning the world into a living hell. It is wrong to ban things when God allowed them.

As we dance and have fun, our hearts are always with God. It would be outrageous to suggest that God should be forgotten while having fun.

Dance and music are among the most beautiful gifts in life.

Everything in Heaven will dance whenever they like. But it will be very different to the dance in this world. The dance in Heaven will be mesmerizing, fascinating.

Every aspect of the understanding of religion outside the Qur’an is horrible; laughing, dancing, painting, statues, music, women’s going out, children wearing shorts are all forbidden in their twisted minds. In some Islamic scholars perverse understanding, the penalty for shaving one’s beard or not performing daily prayers is death. None of those have any place in the Qur’an. The religion that they promote that has no place in the Qur’an and it turns this world into a living hell.

Listening to music, taking photos, dancing, art, science, beauty, having fun; none of those are unlawful by religion.

Entertainment, music and dancing were shown as blessings that must be prohibited to Muslims. These worldly blessings are for Muslims.

Of course we can have music and dancing and fun. You must not add artificial prohibitions to the faith. And then Islam will rule the world.

There is music in Heaven, there is dancing. What exists in Heaven would also exist in this world. If God finds something beautiful in Heaven, He would find it beautiful in this world as well.

Allah created the universe with a rhythm. In the Heaven, even trees will be dancing. It would be very wrong to claim that music, rhythm and dance are unlawful by religion.

The Prophet David (pbuh) was singing with love for Allah and dancing. At that period because he danced, there appeared some people who looked down at him in their own twisted minds.

The bigots of the time criticized the Prophet David (pbuh) because he sang and danced. Actually he was dancing out of love of Allah, how beautiful this is. Furthermore the Prophet David (pbuh) has a very beautiful voice.

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.
