When people wash their hearts with religion; it becomes a radiance and light upon them.  But many people imagine that religion takes their lives away. As a matter of fact, irreligiousness takes lives away, fundamentally. Everything turns into a burden for them. Food turns into a trouble for them, their cars, their homes, their wives, their friends, their schools, everything they have turns into a burden. But if they are faithful their wives would turn into blessings, their friends would be blessings, their homes would become their place of worship, their lives would be radiant, everything around them would be radiant and their hearts would be full of relief.

God bestows better means, more beautiful blessings to those who are more devout and that is visible. But of course Muslims will be patient. I mean Muslims should see the beauty beneath the ordeals and the beauty beneath the blessings.

 - 
God gives abundance and plenty to the countries with sincerely devout people. If they remain aloof to religion, God gives them troubles and inauspiciousness. This is valid for each and every individual, for each and every individual person.

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Religion is a blessing. A greater part of people- may God forbid- regard religion as if it is an affliction. Actually, religion is the ornament of the world, it is the joy of life, it is the light of the mind, a relief of the heart, it is a divine gift.

 - 
One makes a mistake, commits a sin and throws himself, he suffers. This is not what God wants from you. He simply says "repent and go on with your life." He doesn't say, "Cast yourself down, devastate yourself." Such are abnormal acts; such are the acts of the idolaters. In the end God is the One Who makes you do that mistake. There is good in that. You simply will not repeat it and that is it. You will make up your mind, won't do it again.

Sleep is the weakness of this world. Every day after a certain hour one feels sleepy. They go and lay down to die and arise from death hours later. They bathe, they eat, again they feel sleepy at night. The time to die comes and they go die again. In the morning they arise from the dead again. Dying and arising from the dead, dying and arising from the dead, one's whole life goes on like this. In the end, they die for real and then arise from the dead in another world.

The Sun and the shadow are bound to each other with amazing laws. They are intertwined with the laws of God. The Sun doesn't have light, there is no light outside; it is pitch dark. Consequently there is no shadow. Shadow and light are created inside our brains separately. Colors are created inside the brain one by one. There is no light outside. Yellow, red, green; all the colors are created specifically, created inside the brain.
 (A9 TV; May 29th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Shadow and light are created separately. That is because light is created inside the brain. There is no light outside. There is no color outside either. Light is created inside one's brain. It is pitch black outside. Consequently there is no shadow outside. There is no shadow if there is no light. That means shadows are created separately inside the brain. God says that He creates them both separately.

Adnan Oktar
 - 
One  says ,"When I make a mistake, my good conscience disturbs me, it makes me unable to breath."  That stems from letting Satan suffocate you. Why is there the need for that, my brother? You simply put your trust in God and that is it, you repent to God. What does repentance mean? You hope God will accept your repentance. Then, what does being suffocated mean? That would mean that you do not trust God. If you've made a mistake, you've made the mistake in your destiny. Did you decide to never to do it again? You did. If you are determined about this, that takes care of it.

Man has a great power of resistance. He orders his brain and doesn't do what Satan orders. For instance, he would serve Islam. The lower-self says, "I am exhausted!" a Muslim responds to his lower-self saying, "You create that tiredness with prompting," and says, "What exhaustion are you talking about? You would be jumping up and down if you were told that you would be given five thousand liras. You are lying, it is not true."  Even if the lower-self says, "I am spent, I am tired, I am about to drop down," a Muslim would say, "If there were something in it for you, you would go insane and all energetic."

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Satan drags one into a sentimental mode, poisoning his mind, making his brain numb, dragging him into a drunken state. He hands over the rope to the devil and Satan drags him around as ever it wants. A Muslim should break off that rope instantly, saying, "What is going on? What are you doing? I am breaking off this rope!" and hold on to the rope of God.  God's unbreakable, unseverable rope.

Adnan Oktar
 - 
If one yields to Satan, either resentment or rage would drag him around. I mean those feelings lay hold of him and drags him around. A Muslim should rip apart that claw with a strong blow. He should not accept  being dragged around. Being dragged around like that is so humiliating.
 (A9 TV; May 29th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
For a Muslim, losing one's temper is very bad. Rage takes over one and drags him around as if dragging around an animal. The man indulges in that feeling and disgraces himself. That is not acceptable. One needs to use his mind.
 (A9 TV; May 29th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Before all else, a Muslim should know to resist abnormal things. For instance, he has to know how to resist rage. Yielding to rage is an animalistic instinct.  Keeping one's temper is a humane superiority.
 (A9 TV; May 29th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
One should not knowingly push something, insist on something. What has happened would always be good for a Muslim no matter what. It is something defined in destiny. But one needs to hold on to reason.
 (A9 TV; May 29th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Using one's wit means being in sincere connection with God and trying to see the signs of God knowing in which points Satan would distort one's mind, without getting agitated. That is because God is the One Who leads the mind. One would differentiate the wrong and the dangerous when one abides by his conscience; God inspires him, God makes him feel what the right choice is.

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Almighty God gives permission to the satan as a requisite of the trial in this world. With this wisdom, people are perfectly tested. The lower self matures in the struggle against the satan and it becomes perfect.

 - 
What is meant by jihad in the verses of the Qur'an is struggling; an intellectual struggle, an effort, all sorts of activities. People tend to take it as if it means "hanging people and chopping them up." The fact is however, jihad is the name of the effort put on the path of God.
 (A9 TV; May 29th, 2015)

Adnan Oktar
 - 
Even if something goes seemingly wrong, a Muslim should know that there is good in that. Some say, "Something went wrong." If you put your trust completely in God, whatever happens would be for the good.

Adnan Oktar
 - 
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.
