ADNAN OKTAR: Now, what are the virtues?

OKTAR BABUNA: Good morality, mercy, love, compassion and mutual respect insha’Allah.

ADNAN OKTAR: Respect for ideas right? Freedom of thought. For example, this is never emphasized. The way Islam is understood by people in Pakistan, the way it is understood in Afghanistan and the way in Turkey are completely different. For example you say, "One needs to be understanding." What does that mean? One could be a Marxist, an irreligious or an atheist; showing respect towards those as well, right? Not putting pressure on anyone, not putting pressure on their beliefs and not showing any disrespectful behavior because of their belief. It is treating everyone as first class human beings. Right? He could be a Marxist but you will treat him with love and respect even so. Insha’Allah. Second; you will not kill art. You will not kill joy. You will not kill happiness and cheer. On the contrary, you will revitalize art, beauty, joy and cheer. You will encourage and perfect aesthetics and cleanliness. Now for example, when one says "Be honest and good-mannered" and leave it at that, then people would misunderstand; because there are many situations in which people may misunderstand. When that is said the person imagines a dark and isolated building made up of stone and a person stood on the corner and covered in bandage. He might imagine a person who does not eat, drink, laugh, talk and who talks slowly when he talks.

However, a Muslim is the most quality, most rational, most intelligent, most careful and most courageous person of the world.  And what is more, we see in some movies, they sometimes portrait a Muslim image talking like “Ooooh son” like a schizophreniac. Why don’t you just say “Oh son”? Right? For example, he just says “Just come here?” but it almost takes 40 seconds to say so; for instance the other person asks: "what do you say to that Sir?",  no  answer. His hands tied like this “I will ask you a question, ”he says And the other waits for a while again; I mean there is a waiting time in between. To tell the truth; some people would be very annoyed with this as it is very irritating. There is speed in Islam. Look Allah says: "Among you there are people who hang back." For once they will leave this slowness of a schizophreniac. There is no such thing in religion. They should not show us such an inappropriate world, is that understood? There is no light; only a dark place right? Badger typed people wearing old clothes. Later on these men turn out to be crazy.

How was our Prophet (saas)? He was very audacious. He was playing "tag" with his wives and he was very cheerful. Hazrat Hasan (ra) and Hazrat Husain (ra), those sweet kids, were also playing “tag” inside the masjid. Right? They used to come and sit on their grandfather's head during salat (prayer). There was a joyful, relaxed and nice understanding of Islam. The houses of our Prophet (saas) were also real nice. His environment and his table were real nice. Hazrat Ali (ra) was very humorist and people used to be doubled up with laughter. He was very talkative. This understanding must be emphasized well. I mean, a slothful Muslim image is very risky.

OKTAR BABUNA: Insha’Allah Master
