I’m in love with beauty for the love of God. Beauty is good for the soul and heart. It’s food for my soul. It’s the main feature of Heaven.

As I said it thousands of times before, I never had and will never make any claims of being the Mahdi, or a hodja.

We will not allow the dajjal system to put Muslims to sleep using some arrogant scholars who have weakness in their faith. There’ll be an awakening.

I am surprised at how women are not appreciated and how people don’t realize their beauty as blessings.

Encouraging violence against women is a crime and one of the worst aspects of bigotry. Bigots can’t stand the very existence of women. In bigotry, there’s great hatred and enmity of women. Claiming that women are of half-religion or half-mind is one of the worst aspects of bigotry.

Satan casted a spell of lovelessness in the world to set people against one another. We will break this spell by talking diligently about God and love.

The movement of the dajjal [antichrist] is talking about rage and hatred every day and we are turning that evil wibe into a divine sentiment by talking about love every single day.

All my friends perform their daily prayers five times every day and are very meticulous about their prayers.

The door we opened by exposing the British deep state’s schemes led many intellectuals to wage the required intellectual struggle.

Proving the invalidity of Darwinism and removing the bigoted understanding of religion broke the arm of the dajjal system plotting against Turkey.

In the roots of traditionalist Islam there lies misinterpretation of the verses open to interpretation. The clear judgments in the Qur'an prescribe the decrees.

There is no verse in the Qur'an that decrees music to be unlawful. The Qur’an is very clear and precise; there is no room in the Qur’an for implications.

Bigotry does great harm to Islam. It is almost in conflict with Islam.

People visualize the time of our Prophet (pbuh) according to the tales of bigots and superstitions.

The world the fanatics describe is an impossible one, where ladies are prohibited from doing everything including laughing. Fanatics build a sick world diametrically opposite to the Qur'an’s loving, reasonable, compassionate, elegant, free, enlightened and liberating world.

The fanatics’ misogyny results in a sick, twisted world and this wrong- thinking drives people away from the true Islam. The only way to get rid of the horrible world the fanatics try to create is clinging to the true Islam explained in the Holy Qur’an.

Our brothers with a traditionalist mindset suffer in vain, because they wrongly believe modernism isn’t compatible with religion. Modernism and religion are closely related.

All the prophets were the most progressive, modern personalities of their times. It is irrational to regard modernity as a bad thing.

Being able to show that Islam can be lived in a modern way is clear proof that Islamic morality is beginning to take hold around the world. This is why some are alarmed.

Modern Islam means the Islam that was lived at the time of our Prophet (saas).

Islamic Union will not be based on bigotry. An enlightened understanding of Islam based on modernity, high quality and arts will prevail.

Islam means modernity, high quality and love. Muslims are very well kept; they laugh and have fun to the fullest as they like. Those who claim otherwise are wrong.

Modern Islam is the system in which people are friends with one another, where women are free and music and art flourish.

Modern Islam is the way Muslims lived at the time of our Prophet (saas) and his companions. Modern Islam was the way the Prophet Solomon (pbuh), the Prophet Abraham (pbuh) and all other prophets lived at their times.

Some people post their revealing photos with the verses of the Qur’an next to them. This is not something I approve of.
