Islam as a religion focuses primarily on the immutable aspects of life and existence, whereas a political system concerns only social aspects of our worldly life.

Islam abhors and absolutely condemns terrorism and any terrorist activity.

I have never imagined being or wished to be chosen as something important in the world. I have always tried to be a humble servant of God and a humble member of humanity.

The purpose of our creation is obvious: to reach our utmost goals of belief, knowledge, and spirituality; to reflect on the universe, humanity, and God, and thus prove our value as human beings.

Terrorism is one of the cardinal sins that the Koran threatens with hellfire.

Politics can be a factor neither in shaping Islam nor directing Muslims' acts and attitudes in Islam's name.

A small minority in Turkey even accuses me of having political ambitions, when in fact I have been struggling with various illnesses for many years.
