The most important issue for a Muslim is to leave this world as a believer. The one who doesn't fear to die as an unbeliever, dies as an unbeliever. It is needed to thank Allah for benefaction of faith not to die as an unbeliever. One of the issues causing to leave the world as an unbeliever is to hurt mother's and father's feelings, and displease them. An other one of the issues causing to die as an unbeliever is heedlessness. Remedy of heedlessness is zikr (remembering Allah) Also, Islamic scholars informed that leaving salat will cause to die as an unbeliever....

Although death is the bridge that unites the believer with Allah; one should not ask for his own death. Instead one should try to increase his good deeds in this ephemeral world. Everybody should get prepared for the death any time. First step of preparing for death is repentance. This can be done by simply saying "Astaghfirullah" (O Allah, I ask for forgiveness). After repentance, "Faith" should be refreshed by saying Kalima-i shahada. One shouldn't be afraid of death, but to die without faith....

One of the religious obligations for an absolute faith is to have faith in afterlife. But, many people have doubts about afterlife. Would there be any evil in this world if people completely had faith in afterlife? Probably as a result of this weakness to believe in afterlife, Allah (swt) has mentioned about it along with His name in his Book. Pretending not to see does not change the fact. Death is the fate of every living creature. It is the beginning of afterlife for mankind. For this reason, mankind should be ready for his own death and for the Judgment Day....

Muhammad (s.a.w.) is the last prophet. But divine mercy has not ended with Him. It shall continue with his successors awliya until doomsday. The vague sections of the Qur'an are explained by Rasulullah; the obscure parts about his words and deeds are detailed by Sahaba with the ijtihad of scholars. All these constitute "Islam". To be subject to prophets is everybody's duty. The light of faith is the love of Allah. Hence, this is what leads a man into perfect faith: love. As love grows in heart, its extent also escalates. Whatever is about Allah gains more importance....

Door to Grace is always open. Faith is what guides us towards divine mercy. Salvation is from Allah. The duty of prophets are not to grant salvation to people, but to tell them about Allah and spread them His word by letting know of the divine grace; in short, to notify Islam. Prophets do not know of Al-Ghaib (The Unseen). Ghaib knowledge can neither be learned through observation and experimentation nor can be calculated through quantitative data. Knowledge about the invisible and visible realms is only limited to what Allah (s.w.t) grants us. Miracles of Prophets are genuine....

The prophets who were sent to tell people about their own Creator, to teach them the provisions of the Creator for separating truth from falsehood, in short, to provide them with a divine training in order to enable them to reach a moral dignity were created so as to possess some certain qualities. These characteristics are not gained subsequently but these outstanding individuals are born from their mothers with these characteristics so to say. Prophets should not be distinguished from each other. Prophets should not be deified. They are all human beings just like us....

Allah has created two huge realms including a visible material one and an invisible spiritual one. Two great orders... He is The Creator, owner, arranger and manager of these orders. He wants humans to understand these orders that He has truly created and established rules for, to also understand his Sublime Personality, to not become blind to truths and not destroy the order that He has established in the universe. He will not remain a mere spectator to the destruction of the order that it has established. As to those who deny and turn away from the verses of Allah, they are cruels....

One of the attacks made to Qur'an is a claim which asserts that Satan has tempered with Qur'an by adding it some false statements. Does ever a Creator who is capable of fulfulling his command in the blinking of an eye allow Satan to temper with his book with fake statements? Qur'an has made no concessions from its literary beauty although it has offered effective solutions based on simple principles to material and spiritual illnesses of people and societies. Qur'an was sent to an illiterate prophet in 23 years. Despite of this, there is no any inconsistency in its content. It cannot have been fabricated....

The paper, ink and similar material parts of Qur'an is creature. But, the statements it contains, the order and organization of those statements and the divine meaning conveyed by those statements, belong to Allah Himself. And what is meant when we say "Qur'an" is those statements. They are the manifestations of Allah's attribute of speech (Kalaam) and they are not among the created. Qur'an was revealed verse by verse in 23 years. Qur'an is a protected book. It is not possible to make any alteration in Qur'an due to the reason of reciting in muqabalahs and in the repetitions of hafizs....

Allah sent four main heavenly books and a hundred booklets to the earth. These are mercy sources. The religion, which was ordered by all messengers since Adam, is Islam. Islam is "tawhid (oneness)" religion. It is based on approving and accepting the existence, oneness and ownership and dominance of Allah on all the worlds. The provisions of Allah were notified in all of these books. Allah wishes to bring us the highest levels of maturity, raise us to the level of a perfect human and, thus, complete His mercies, with the provisions that were ordered in His books....

The judgments of the religion are not scientific judgments, but value judgments. Like all value judgments, they are "dogma"s. However, these value judgments are significantly different from the ones that people assigned to objects. There are no conflicts between basic values of religion with scientific judgments as the both values are assigned by Allah. Both of them present the universal truths of all time in different areas (material world, human behavior) There is an unseen spiritual world which can be known by orders of Allah, beyond this material world....

Our daily lives, family meetings, concerts and chats include so many statements which harm the "oneness" belief of the human. For example some lyrics of songs: "You created me", "I worship you". Some scientists say "the nature created" for some things. We must fear Allah (swt) and abstain from the statements and behaviors which violate the tawhid (the belief of "oneness"). Allah is an absolute reality. Allah is excluded from space and time. Therefore, we must abstain from describing Allah (swt) with words that assign locations for Him, such as "Allah sees over us"....

We must believe in Allah with His whole attributes. He exists. His existence is absolute. His existence never changes. He is the one. He has no partners in His existence, attributes and performances. His existence is forever and eternal. He is the real owner of everything. He needs nothing! But everything is in need of His favors. He has the power over everything. He sees, hears and speaks. He creates, organizes and manages everything as He wishes. He has infinite knowledge. Trillions of events that took place in the visible and invisible realms always takes place under His information....

"When a person says Lailahe illallah (there is no god, but Allah) by being aware of its meaning, a touch of belief occurs in his heart". This is the beginning of all goodness for human. It means entering in the frontiers of Islam by passing over the thin line between unbelief and faith, and taking the first step to mercy ladder which elevates human to maturity. A perfect and true faith which is purified from doubts, worship, sincerity and taqwa (staying away from forbidden) is also needed in order to be a mature person....

The invisible aspect of religion related to heart is called "Faith" and the visible aspect related to worship is called "Islam". Faith constitutes the base of Islam. A person's performing all worships without faith is worthless. If he has faith in his heart but he does not perform the worships because of laziness, he will be rewarded Paradise after he is punished as much as defects in his worship. Islam is the religion of tawhid (oneness). Oneness means believing in the unity of Allah's existence, attributes, and works; and not set up partners to Him; and worshipping to Allah (swt) solely....

There are 4 sources of religious knowledge: Qur'an, Sunnah, Ijma-i ummah (consensus of the ummah), Ijtihad (case law). The right path defined by these 4 sources which are called "Shar'i Dalail " (The Legal Proofs) is called the ahl al-sunnah path. This is the right interpretation of Qur'an by Rasulullah, Sahaba, and interpreters of Islamic law, and the correct life style of muslims that Allah (swt) commanded and it will lead us to salvation. The deviances in religion which emerged in time are called "Bid'ah". Every bid'ah takes away a brick from the perfect Islam structure. Therefore, bid'ah inventors have been cursed....

There is only one truth in absolute sense. It is Allah (swt). "Physical world" and "Spiritual world" are created realities. Their existence and survival are possible with the will of Allah. They have a beginning and an end. The human is the acceptor of the sensations from an object rather than the object itself. Therefore, the world of which existence we accept is an imaginary world, which is created by processes of various nerve and brain functions. Human are aware of the absolute reality when they die....

The human is a creation masterpiece. He is equipped with extraordinary qualifications and capabilities. The human is now able to create extraordinary work of arts, rule, order, that no other alive creature can make them. In fact, it is not surprising. Because, the human are created to succeed them. However, what makes the human precious before Allah (swt) is not this material success. What makes him precious is his knowing Allah and the spiritual success. The spiritual ascension of human begins "Faith". "Faith" is the biggest test of a human in the world....
