Turkish people are known with their faith in God. Takbir (praising God) is food for our souls. Hearts find peace by praising God.

Muslims talk about God wherever they are. Life and religion are intertwined. One remembers God while he is having a bath, while he is eating and he talks about God wherever they are and in any event. There is not a moment, not a place in their lives that they do not remember God. One should see that he can live comfortably live with the Qur'an, read the Qur'an very easily, wherever he is. The Qur'an will be with you wherever you go, the Qur'an will be right by your side when you go to bed and you will remember God when you are in bed as well.

Some people get into a weird romanticism, a weird state of mind when one talks about religion. God should be remembered with a rational attitude.

Being slack in talking about God is an unlawful act. This is an affliction upon the Muslim world. They do not feel the need to preach religion. They say, "There is the Religious Affairs Directorate and they are doing this anyway. Why should we preach religion?" The fact is, however, preaching religion is a religious duty upon all Muslims.

The US used to praise God's name profusely and it used to be rich. They started to grovel when they started to invoke God's name less and less. Russia used to invoke God's name less and they were groveling. Now they've started to talk about God and God gave them a little relief.

Even the smallest effort is very valuable in the Sight of God. Reciting the Name of God even once would bring about abundance, contentment and stave off scourges.

The power of enjoying things would be taken away from those who forget God in a very short time. They start saying, “I cannot have fun as I used to. I do not enjoy music as much as I used to. Something happened to me.” A miracle happened and you should see that. They start saying, “I am fed up with all these things, and maybe that is why.” In fact one would never be fed up with love, with beauty but a scourge befalls such people. One should always seek refuge in God.

A great majority of people might be in a forgetful mindset regarding God; one should not see them as real and be affected by them. God might be showing those people to him in such a state. For instance, one might be going to a disco or a nightclub and people there might not even say one word about God. He should not say, “So this is how people are. This is how this world works. Is there something wrong with me?” He should know that he is on the right path and the others have gone astray.

One would be happy and have his mind relieved when he performs his prayers, when he performs ablution, when he submits to God’s will, mentions the Name of God, reads the Qur’an. God has created man in a way that he would feel that need. One would be suffocated if he doesn’t live all these beauties. These are all blessings that prevent one to be drawn in that water, these are lifesaving blessings.

Great majority of Muslims have their foresight and perception closed. Or else how is it possible to seclude one's self and do invocations while children are being killed elsewhere? Do your invocations as you spend your time protecting them, do invocations that would save those children.

Frequent repetition gives relief to hearts. Repetitions are nice. God's Name is mentioned repeatedly, love is voiced repeatedly. One would not ever feel weary of remembering God's Name and pronouncing beauties.

Angels intensify in places that people strive on the way of Allah. The places they like most are gatherings of invocation where discourses of Qur’an are made. And the archangels never leave Mahdi’s (pbuh) side.

ALWAYS KEEPING ALLAH IN HEART IS DHIKR (REMEMBRANCE). People may have a misconception of dhikr. People may assume that dhikr is recital of Allah’s name in a loud voice. KEEPING ALLAH IN ONE’S IMAGINATION, IN HIS MIND, BEING AWARE THAT HE LOVES ALLAH AND BEING CONSCIOUS OF THAT. IT IS DHIKR TO CONSTANTLY KEEP ALLAH IN HEART.

Mourning was practiced by ancient Summerians, Akkadians, Hittites, Egyptians and other idol-worshiping tribes; it is forbidden in the Quran through a large number of verses and hadiths. It completely contradicts putting trust in God.

Through bigotry, satan has dealt a powerful blow that aims to destroy Islam. Under the influence of satan, bigots render prayer impracticable and ablution impossible to perform.

Dishonorable hypocrites regard the struggle in the name of God as foolishness. If they were to gain personal benefit, for example, if our Prophet (pbuh) offered each of them 5 or 10 pouches of gold, they would never say "Do not go out to fight in the heat." They would never utter "If we knew how to fight, we would certainly follow you." Or they would never say "We are sacrificing our lives for no reason." They would go crazy, they would become quite eager if they received 10 pouches of gold.

Turkish youth should be trained very well. Indifferent generations emerged in Iraq and Syria because youth weren’t trained well there.

Communist systems can usually succeed with a few people because in capitalist systems many people tend to be indifferent and apathetic.

Many people do not care about the ideological dangers until it is too late. Most people think only about getting married, getting rich, and so on.

A new generation of people emerged among some Muslim groups. They are self-important people enthusiastic on giving advices for others without practicing anything themselves.

President Erdogan should not worry. Turkish people will continue to stand by him. He has lots of friends, whether he knows or not.

Blind, angry criticism is very wrong. Criticism is necessary, but it should be done to help, not to humiliate.

Our Prophet (pbuh) miraculously explained [1400 years ago] that in the end times two great Muslim groups would fall out. This happened just like he described it.

No matter what happens, there is a great wisdom, reason behind everything. God has the sole power.

We should strive to win all Muslims, no matter what. If mistakes were made, we should do our best to help correct them.
