Drinking wine, rakı and whisky, being poisoned and wasted is not having fun. There is such a false culture of alcohol and that is a grave mistake. Alcohol is by no manner of means entertaining. It is a very harmful and very disruptive substance.
They present Christmas as if it is a tragedy. We celebrated the birthday of our Prophet (saas) with pride and we do so every year. Why are they appalled with the birthday of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh)? He too is a prophet of Islam. He too is one of our Prophets.

Perform your prayers five times a day, count beads all night long but have high quality. If you want to cover your head, do so, but do it in style and with quality. Using ugly wraps and cloths is unacceptable. Women used to cover themselves up in the Ottoman times as well but they were like amazing works of art. This was how women appeared before people, like flowers. That is nothing that would prevent being religious.

God says, “I am the Eternal Power Who deserves to be loved. I am the One Who creates all love and all those you love. Their images belong to Me as well. So do not ascribe partners to Me and love Me." And that is what is right.

Some people imagine that having fun would draw the Wrath of God. Actually not being loved, being forgotten, ungratefulness and a lack of love draw the Wrath of God.

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.

Love is in the forefront in Christianity. Muslims should read the Gospels. Not the parts that are corrupted but they should read those passages that are compatible with the Qur'an. Love is depicted in Gospels. There are also very beautiful passages in the Torah depicting love very nicely.

Societies attain happiness when women are happy. For women to be happy, they should be free and well-protected. Both the state and people should be protective of them, everyone should protect and watch over women and they should be treasured everywhere they go so that they could be happy and vivacious.

We need to be the most modern country in Europe. Ankara should be even better than Paris. Istanbul should be far more high quality than London. It should have incomparable quality. There should be decent, kind, companionable people of peace everywhere. Everyone, people from all walks of life, people from every political party should feel love for one another in coffeehouses and streets.

Had some bigots been given free reign, neither listening to music, nor sculptures, nor paintings, or freedom for ladies putting on make-up and going out would be left. These people are quite bloodthirsty. That is why Turkey should swiftly go towards a modern, religious line.

Israel is an intelligent, wise state in the region. It is an anti-communist state that sides with God. Turkey should be very good friends with Israel in any case.

There should be nothing to be called national interests. We need to strive for everyone's interests. Even if we endure difficulties, we need to strive for the happiness of others. That is what suits such a noble nation, such a noble state. Self-seeking and egotism are beneath us.

The only weapon we have is our insistence on love that stems from faith and that is all. We need to be devoutly religious but also full of love. We need to be avoid being vindictive, we need to try to make peace between everyone and strive for everyone's well-being.

A mentality that oppresses women would never develop and prosper. God would open the path of a country in which women enjoy freedom. It would be the end of a country if women are oppressed in that country.

For all the people across Europe, for people all around the world to be friends with us, before all else, for God to love us we need to become an amazing teacher of love. That is to say, we need to show an unprecedented personality. The world should watch us in awe. And we should be very, very modern.

A country in which women lack quality, could never attain quality and success. Such a country can never attain quality, can never be modern and European. If women in a country are not enlightened, free, happy and well-groomed, if they are not free in their joy, in their laughter, in sports, in their eating, etc., such a country can never be an enlightened country. Such a country would be dark and every country that becomes overcast would definitely be ruined. May God forbid.

Explaining life through random coincidences is the most illogical explanation. How could coincidences bring about pomegranates, oranges, lemons, olives and tangerines? How could Einstein, Newton come into being through coincidences? How could coincidences bring about lions, tigers, bees all of which are perfect beings?

The most important part in the struggle against terror organizations is to demoralize them. Humiliation is a way but proving the falsity of their ideology would be the most influential way. Explaining the falsity of their ideology, of their philosophy is the most influential method. You would thus dispirit and demoralize them completely, I mean both their muscle power and their mental power would thus be lost and they would be incapacitated.

Animosity against Israel is presented as if it is a merit, a sign of piety or superiority. Actually animosity against the People of the Book is atrocious. We love Jews, we love Christians. We are compassionate towards atheists as well.

The system of the Mahdi is not a claim but a demonstration. Islam prevails in the world and an individual takes the lead of the Islamic world. We can then think that he is the Mahdi (pbuh), God knows the truth and that is all (we can do). We cannot enunciate it either, we can only say, "God knows the truth, he might be the one."

When they talk about religion they assume that it is all about memorizing the verses, knowing the Qur'an by heart and reciting the verses with tajwid, being careful about idgham (merging). Actually the essence and the wisdom in the Qur'an is what is important. I mean putting the meaning in the Qur'an into practice is important, not reciting the Qur'an by being careful with idgham and qalqalah (adding a slight bounce or reduced vowel sound). Arabs can do that effortlessly in the best manner, but there are also a lot of them who do not put those verses into life, into practice.
