Islam encourages personal hygiene, grooming and looking attractive

In the religion fabricated by the bigots, people, especially the women are expected to look their worst. Let alone putting on make-up and wear attractive clothes, they are banned from even carrying out the simple personal care tasks that would ensure a beautiful look. Some of the fabricated hadiths that ban using perfumes are as follows: 

The prayer of a woman who uses perfume for this mosque is not accepted until she returns and takes a bath like that of sexual intercourse (perfectly). (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 33, Hadith 4162)

If a woman uses perfume and passes the people so that they may get its odour, she is so-and-so, meaning severe remarks. (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 33, Hadith 4161)

If a woman wears perfume for anyone other than her husband, her prayer will not be accepted unless she washes that scent from her body as if washing off sexual intercourse." (Man La Yahzaruhul Faqih, v. 3, p. 440)

Using perfume for other than one’s husband brings a woman shame and fire (of hell). (Nahj al-Fasaha, 2382) 

Fabricated Hadiths that Prohibit Tattoos, Removal of Facial Hair, Esthetic Dental Work

God has cursed those women who practice tattooing and those who get themselves tattooed, and those who remove their face hairs, and those who create a space between their teeth artificially to look beautiful. (Sahih Bukhari, Book 72, Hadith 815)

Fabricated Hadiths that Prohibit Wigs, Eyebrow Plucking, Tattoos

God has cursed such a lady as lengthens (her or someone else's) hair artificially or gets it lengthened, and also a lady who tattoos (herself or someone else) or gets herself tattooed. (Sahih Bukhari, Book 72, Hadith 820)

The Messenger of God (pbuh) cursed the woman who does tattoos and the one who has them done, and those who pluck their eyebrows. (Sunan Ibn Majah, Chapter 11, Hadith 1989)

Fabricated Hadiths that Prohibit Women from Going out of Doors in Attractive Clothes

The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: “O Fatimah! The angels of the seven heavens and the seven earths curse the woman who decorates herself, dresses up and goes out of her house so that men may admire her beauty. She becomes the target of Divine wrath when she is alive. When she dies it is ordered that she be thrown into hell.” (Shahabul Akhbar, Dastaan-e-zanaan, p. 11)

Imam al-Sadiq: "For someone to be brought low and disgraced, it is enough to wear clothes that will spread their fame (in such a way as to attract people’s attention and cause them to point that person out)." (Bihar al-Anwar, Vol.78, p. 252)

Hazrat Ali: "Wear thick clothing (that does not reveal the body) because people who wear thin clothing also possess thin (weak) faith." (Bihar al-Anwar, Vol.79, p. 298)

The Messenger of God (pbuh) forbade women to wear clothes that would attract people’s attention and from wearing accessories that make noise when they went out. (Mustadrak al-Wasail, Vol.14, p. 280)

Fabricated Hadiths that Maintain that Women Lose Paradise by Preoccupying Themselves with Gold and Clothes

I looked into paradise and the minority of its inhabitants were women. So I asked, “Where are the women?” And I was told, “They are preoccupied with two red things: gold, and saffron,” meaning jewelry and dyestuff for clothes.

Fabricated Hadiths that Maintain that Women Should not be Given Nice Clothes

Help women by not giving them nice clothes to wear.

The reason for quoting all these fabricated hadiths is to be able to show how women are despised in the religion of the peddlers of superstition, and how they are regarded as foolish, lacking in character and generally irrelevant. These commands, which appear nowhere in the Qur’an, are depicted by way of these false hadiths as if they were a part of the faith. In this way, not only is female beauty done away with, a model of society in which their wisdom and character is also taken away is thus described. From then on, the lives of those who are already frozen, soulless and loveless become increasingly more atrophied.

When female beauty, one of the greatest blessings of this world, is done away with, both their own souls and their idea of society sink to the bottom. As we have discussed in detail in preceding sections, by disregarding women’s minds and ignoring the ideas of women who are capable of sharp and detailed thinking, capable of taking precautions and with a much wider understanding than that of men in a great many regards, the societies in question are deprived of many benefits. The most disturbing thing is that women in these societies also believe in this false religion and see nothing wrong with regarding themselves as inferior. The women in question have become used to looking no different to men and being exceedingly ill-groomed, to having no opinions on anything, to being ignorant and leaving all decisions to men and generally submitting to men.

The fact is, however, as we have already seen, that God refers in verses to those who render adornments and nice things unlawful. Such people behave in contravention of the Qur’an:

Say: “Who has forbidden the ornament of God which He has produced for His servants and the good kinds of provision?” Say: “They are, in the life of this world, for those who believe, (and) purely for them on the Day of Resurrection.” In this way We make the signs clear for people who know. (Surat al-A’raf, 32)

As we have already seen in detail, women are delightful and valuable in the view of the Qur’an; female beauty is a blessing. Female intelligence can lead societies to very broad horizons. God has bestowed all these beautiful attributes on women; He praises them and protects them. These fraudulent statements in the fabricated hadiths above are completely rejected by the Qur’an.

It must not be forgotten that the people who try to ban beauty and the blessings beloved of God are fanatics. It is therefore a very great mistake to condemn those who think that the world of the fanatics is the true one and thus criticize the true Islam out of this ignorance. The people who really abide by the Qur’an are those who know that beauty and adornment are blessings from God, not those who want to ban them.

In the world we dream of children are not killed

http://dailymailnews.com/2014/12/20/in-the-world-we-dream-of-children-are-not-killed

By: Harun Yahya

Any reasonable person with good conscience would want to live in a world in which children are playing and laughing in joy, in which women are held in high esteem as first class citizens without any discrimination because of their style of dress or their vision of the world, and in which all people have high living standards; anyone would want a life with a high level of welfare, a high level of education, cutting edge technology, a life fulfilled with arts and aesthetics, a life full of freedoms in which young girls and young boys will live comfortably.

Human nature is prone to beauty, aesthetics and comfort. People are fond of clean, new things, technological advances and most important of all, freedoms. Anyone would enjoy beautiful houses, clean and neat gardens, aesthetically pleasing clothes, top model cars, delicious, well- prepared food. Everyone dreams about a life full of these pleasures .

The bird’s eye view of the world we actually are living in at the moment does not present us the image everyone dreams about and wishes for. In the vast majority of the world we see troubles, poverty, tears, bloodshed, wars and unrest.

The world we are living in now, the world, in which children are passing away in wars in Syria, or in Palestine as their tiny bodies are smashed, is nowhere near the world that we dream of.

The world we are living in now is a world in which children are starving to death in Africa and Iraq because of famine; this is nowhere near the world we dream of in which a healthy generation is brought up eating anything they feel like eating.

The world we are living in now is a world in which women are stoned to death in Bahrain, in Saudi Arabia, in Nigeria, Somali and Afghanistan, a world in which about 130 million of them are forcibly circumcised (according to the UN reports) against their will; this is nowhere near the world we dream of where women have the right to speak out their minds, having the right to dress, have fun and dance as ever they like.

The world we are living in now is a world in which we only see devastated houses in Syria, Gaza, Iraq and Afghanistan and it is nowhere near the world we dream of in which everyone lives in luxury villas, drives top model cars and benefits from cutting edge technology.

The world we dream of and the one we actually are living in are very different from each other. The fact that a certain socio-economic stratum enjoys the standards we all dream of does not mean that the world as we dream of exists. The world we dream of could only come true when all the people living on it enjoy the same luxuries. The fact that we see a startling contrast when we turn our faces from one side to another indicates that the world we dream of is still far away.

The reports prepared by international organizations numerically reveal these bitter facts. For example; according to the United Nations Development Program, the world’s richest 1% own 40% of all wealth and 50% of the world’s adults own just %1 of all wealth.

According to reports by the International Labor Organization, more than 10 million children are made to work as slaves in various jobs and the ages of 6.5 million of these children are between 5-14. According to data provided by UNICEF, each year approximately 1.2 million children fall into the hands of human traffickers.

According to the latest report of the World Health Organization, despite all the studies done and programs undertaken, violence towards women could not be prevented; on the contrary, violence has increased over time. One of every three women in the world is subjected to violence.

These are only a few of the facts revealing the current state of the world. Enter ” woman”, “children”, “persecution”, “violence”, “hunger” in any search engine and you will come across ten thousands of articles which once more drum the fact into our souls that we are light years away from the world we dream of.

Actually the world we dream of is not unattainable. There is only one key to make this possible and that key is love. It is a matter of embedding love into the souls of all people.

Providing a proper education is the most important path to make love prevail the world. If we patiently and resolutely create a positive education, both in schools starting from childhood and in visual and written media – as well as social media – it is apparent that this spirit of hatred that is all too common today would fade away.

If we develop a spirit of love, a spirit of compassion, a spirit of forgiving mistakes and atoning errors, a spirit of enjoying the beauties of other people. – Harun Yahya

If we develop a spirit of love, a spirit of compassion, a spirit of forgiving mistakes and atoning errors, a spirit of enjoying the beauties of other people instead of the spirit of hatred, rage and vengeance, instead of the spirit of jealousy and competition, we could start eliminating the cruelty and persecution going on in the world right now. The important thing is to hold tight to the key of love which will open the door to the world we dream of.

There will be no place for war, for crime, for evils and treachery in the world created by a sharing, charitable, selfless generation brought up being taught to abstain from offending anyone, to constantly think about the comfort, peace and ease of the others, to enjoy the success of others. Then we can have the world we dream of, but only when we let love into our hearts.

The Kaaba and its surroundings must be the center of the Islamic conception of quality and esthetics

By Harun Yahya, MM News,

The Islamic world has recently completed the obligation of the hajj in order to earn the approval of Almighty Allah. Makkah and the surrounding area, where the hajj is performed, is a holy land where our Prophet (saas) strove on Allah’s path and where he told the local peoples of the existence and Oneness of Allah, a home to numerous sacred sites. During the hajj, Muslims from all over the world worship together and remember Allah as Muslims, no matter how different their ethnic origins, languages and cultures.

This sacred land, that allows Muslims who perform the hajj to love and respect one another by bringing them together, must also be somewhere that reflects the Islamic conception of esthetics and quality in the finest manner. However, this region which is home to Muslims and sacred sites, where the foundations of love and peace were laid, has recently begun being mentioned in terms of lost historic architecture and lack of beauty. The Kaaba built by the Prophet Abraham (pbuh) and the Prophet Ishmael (pbuh) and a witness to the lovely life of our Prophet (saas), a role model for all mankind, is losing its historical fabric amongrapidly rising skyscrapers.

Not only Muslims, but the entire world is watching in amazement as buildings that were home to leading figures of the Islamic world are torn down. Example of this include the flattening of Mount Umar, where the home of Hazrat Umar (pbuh) stands, and the construction of skyscraper hotels, the demolition of the Mosque of Bilal from the time of our Prophet (saas), the demolition of Ottoman houses with their elegant adornments and detailed window decorations and stunning wooden doors and their replacement with houses of no esthetic value at all, the construction of the Royal Makkah Clock Tower Hotel, completed in 2012, on the site of 400 graves of historical and cultural importance, a hotel being built on the site of the home of Hazrat Abu Bakr (as) and the conversion of the area where the house in which the Prophet Muhammed (saas) is thought to have been born, in Mawlid Street next to the Kaaba, into a car park.

The same underlying causes are also behind the way the Kaaba, Muslims’ most sacred site, today literally has the air of a tourist attraction and is surrounded by tall masses of concrete, hotels and workplaces:a fanatical mindset that has nothing to do with the Islam of the Qur’an and that is far removed from any conception of quality and esthetics being represented as the true Islam. That mindset sees absolutely nothing wrong in the shameless desecration of the Kaaba.Yet these sacred lands for which our Muslim brothers and forebears laid down their lives in order to protect were entrusted by our Prophet (saas) to the entire Islamic world.

Muslims must develop this area, bequeathed by our Prophet (saas), in the light of the esthetic conception of the Qur’an, and must be responsible for turning it into a glorious city, like the kingdom of Andalusia from the golden age of Islam in Europe. The skyscrapers that literally hide the Kaaba must be torn down. The surrounding buildings must be moved to at least 50 kilometers away.The area must be adorned with lovely fruit trees, flowers and greenery, and even a natural river, bestowing on it a bright and immaculate appearance. The Kaaba itself must be restored to its original appearance, when it shone like a star.

The existing picture of the Kaaba, under the current construction plans, actually emphasizes the spiritual emptiness affecting the entire Islamic world. That emptiness clearly stems from the Islamic world’s failure to be united, as Allah commands.

Let us not forget that the whole Islamic world has a responsibility to scrupulously protect these lands bequeathed by our Prophet (saas). It is perfectly natural and right for Muslims to restructure this area, sacred to Islam, and to be united on this subject in the interests of the faith. The essence of the relationship between Muslim communities is for them to act in union, as brothers, as revealed in the Qur’an. Muslims are one another’s helpers and guardians. They must therefore act in solidarity and a spirit of mutual aid on all matters.

When the Kaaba is redesigned in its original form, Muslims will be able to perform their religious obligations in peace and will show the whole world the Islamic world’s conception of quality and beauty

Makup

"Allah is the One Who puts make up on women, Allah is the One Who creates make up. Allah is the One Who puts kohl on their eyes. Consequently ladies should be beautiful. Then they would feel a greater confidence and happiness. They present a greater beauty to their surroundings. They would serve in the Path of Allah even better. Their power of compiling would be much better. Otherwise they would be disheartened."

Esteemed Adnan Oktar (A9 TV; February 4th, 2013)

Hereafter would be a complete surprise for Muslims

New Statements by Mr. Adnan Oktar (12 April 2014)

Almighty God gives us some details about the Hereafter but He prepared the Hereafter in a way that would be a complete surprise for Muslims.  

God says, “Every self will come together with a driver and a witness.” [Surah Qaf; 21]   Clearly there is a vehicle; it might be a small vehicle or a big beautiful vehicle and there are hosts on both sides of Muslims and there is a light for them both in front of them and beside them. God knows the truth this is a kind of vehicle; that is because God mentions a vehicle that operates on its own in the Qur’an. There is a vehicle that goes on its own, there are hosts inside that vehicle and there are headlights that enlightens the darkness and it moves forward. God says that they will come with those vehicles. Muslims definitely go to Heaven if they find themselves in such a condition. In the Qur’an, God says that they strongly hope for the Heaven. We might come across vehicles similar to those we have in this world or more advanced ones. We might find ultra-modern cities there; that is because God shows that to us, God shows them fruits and they say, “We’ve seen similar ones before.” That is the same with the houses of Heaven; we would say that we’ve seen similar ones before but the quality will be incomparable. There is an amazing trial going on in this world. 

Muslims prefer beauty, but also seek wisdom in ugliness

Muslims prefer beauty, but also seek wisdom in ugliness (05.04.2014)

Muslims prefer beauty, but also seek wisdom in ugliness

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated March  05th, 2014

(Viewer’s letter) I heard you say, "All beauty and blessings belong to God. All praise is for the name of God.” Do ugly things not belong to God, too? 

What right have we to call what God has created beautiful or ugly? Not at all. God teaches us the concepts of beauty and ugliness in the Qur’an. God tells us to avoid ugliness. He tells us to avoid filth. The concept of beauty is stressed in hundreds of places in the Qur’an. We cannot develop our own ideas against the Qur’an. But God’s beauty is also present in what is ugly. A hyena is ugly, but one feels sorry for it. Its ugliness is comical. Or there may be an ugly person, but you feel affection and compassion for them. You love that person many times more because of their moral virtues than you do someone with an attractive face but no moral values. There are many people who are ugly but morally beautiful. And there are people who are attractive but who are arrogant proud, difficult and morally impaired. People will not like that attractive person. They like people who are good natured despite being ugly. Our view is mistaken. 

Believers must see ugliness and beauty and prefer beauty, but look for the wisdom in ugliness. You can say a work of art is ugly when you examine it. Indeed, beauty emerges from the concepts of beauty and ugliness. Beauty emerges from that comparison. Beauty emerges when comparing someone we call beautiful to someone we call ugly. But there is no ugliness in paradise. Ugliness is created solely for the test in this world. Everything is beautiful in paradise. Tree, plants, children and foods are all lovely. But there are also ugly foods in this world, and ugly people. But human beings have the advantage of being able to convert ugliness into beauty through their moral values. They can become radiant and much-loved people. You see such people around you.

Time of the Companions

Adnan Oktar: God wants the final period to be like the time of the Companions of our Prophet (saas). God does not want a period of time in which women are oppressed, in which life lacks quality, arts, aesthetics and beauty.

Fanaticism and Lack of quality are grave dangers

Fanaticism and Lack of quality are grave dangers

(Photo Credit: Playing With God: Terry Jones, Christian Radicalism and 15 Minutes of Fame) 

December 8th, 2012; A9 TV

ADNAN OKTAR: Unless a quality society, a quality life exists, the world will not embrace Islam. In the absence of music, the arts, sculptures, quality people, quality life, compliments, gestures, a pleasing environment,  beautiful architecture, democracy, freedom of thought, people who have fun and joy, indeed we can go on citing these, the world will not embrace Islam. And in no way will the Unity of Islam  come into existence. This was the reason why Allah demolished the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire collapsed simply of this. All these [cited above] exist in the system of Mahdi. For this reason Islam will reign throughout the world. Otherwise it is in no way acceptable. That is, Europe will not accept it. The model of Afghanistan, the model of Iran are very irritating. People would feel annoyed with it. It has nothing to do with Islam and the Qur'an. This is a system of their own mindset.

A9 TV; December 9th,   2012

ADNAN OKTAR: Lack of quality is prevalent in all of Asia and the Middle East. It is very widespread and due to that lack of quality they are being oppressed. Indeed, they say they are Muslims but they don’t take pride in this. May Allah forbid, most of them feel ashamed of it. This stems from lack of quality. Quality must improve in all Islamic countries.

Fanaticism and lack of quality are great threats, lovelessness is a great threat. Music is an indispensable blessing in Europe. There is music in Europe. There is music in Asia but because some Muslim brothers consider it unlawful, it can not improve. Architecture did not prosper, because some were against them. High buildings, richly-decorated buildings were not acceptable. Painting was already not acceptable, and so was sculpture. They also do not want science. They don't want these. They also do not want love. And then of course defeat follows, because some people hate them. And in return poor, innocent Muslims are oppressed and a tremendous violence encloses the world. As you know, our beloved ones were martyred in Arakan but nobody cares about it. Even if all of them are killed, nobody cares about it because they consider them as people with no quality. That is why it is vital for Muslims to become very quality people in a very short time. They must consider quality as a priority. It is very important for them to attach importance to science, arts and love and be peaceful.

ADNAN OKTAR: The Islamic world is going very well, Islam is wide-spreading but quality is a very important matter. Without quality live will be all broken. I mean quality is a very important matter in Islam, it is an important aspect of life. If you do not attach importance to quality; without aesthetics and beauty, the world will appear to be like Hell. The Mosques should be high quality, the houses should be high quality, clothes should be high quality, the speeches should be high quality, perfumes worn should be high quality. I was watching a TV Channel [the other day], there were some people talking, they all lacked quality in their appearance. For instance there were some ladies, they all lacked quality. They were Muslims but their appearances lacked quality. Well, I looked at their way of speaking- I consider the religious matters clear from this- it was really lacking quality. Well, are you going to bring about such a system, is that what you think should be, is this the ideal life you have? I mean will the people be living like this?   For instance Europe attaches great importance to quality. The French, English people all attach great importance to quality. They make a point of attaining quality in their lives. It is apparent that it is crucial for Muslims' lives to attain high quality.

A book should be prepared about this point as well.

DIDEM URER: Insha'Allah Master.

ADNAN OKTAR: A book that should be called "Islam and Quality". Let us a prepare that book.

DIDEM URER: Insha'Allah Master.

ADNAN OKTAR: Our master Mehmet Şevket Eygi always talks about quality in his writings. Yet that blessed person never could really make them understand I mean many people do not listen to our Masters that important warning. He explains the importance of quality in every aspect of life, he explains very comprehensively that quality is an essential attribute of life. However some of our brothers strive to recite a very low quality understanding of Islam. That is why they are getting harsh reactions from the world. However if a high quality understanding of Islam was to be preached, the whole world would turn to Islam in crowds. People adopt an attitude against Islam because they are describing an understanding of Islam that lacks quality.  That is the reason of the hatred people feel about Muslims. These people attempt to present a ragged, filthy, ugly, thoughtless absurd structure as Islam.  And that causes an immense discomfort and reaction in people. Some people come up and say that people react against Islam.  Actually these people are reacting against lack of quality. They are reacting against that horridness, that evil, that ugliness. And some people presume that those people are reacting against Islam. There is no such reaction against Islam, there is a reaction against lack of quality. Many of them are very determined about lack of quality. They are quite determined. They lack quality in eating, they lack quality in their clothes, they lack quality in their way of talking. I look at their ladies, they also lack quality. They only concentrate in cooking and giving birth. I mean they have houses lacking in quality, they are primitive. I mean that has nothing to do with money. It might be cheap but their appearance could be high quality. I mean a person might have only one dress but it can be really high quality. It is very important to be ambitious about quality, to advocate it determinedly. 

When quality is attained in arts, science and aesthetics, politics, when there is quality everywhere, such an understanding of Islam would be embraced by everyone. The only reason Islam is not spreading around is lack of quality. Even if you talk to an irreligious person and say; "Love, compassion, mercy, friendship, amicability, democracy, well intentions, a sociable environment, social justice, cutting edge progress in science, art and aesthetics; What do you say to that?" He would say; "I'd embrace it right away." That is what Islam actually is. But what you are presenting people is not a high quality understanding of Islam. You have turned religious services into a hardship. You have turned them into torture, some of them. A completely different frame of mind has overtaken the place of friendship and love. They cannot make friends, they cannot become amiable.  It is even difficult to form a connection in between religious communities. Yet it is very easy to form friendship and to make conversation with an irreligious person but it is quite hard to make friends with a religious person in some places. That is why the main problem in front of spreading of Islam, in people not accepting Islam is lack of quality. There is no other reason. If someone says; "I've been preaching but Islam is not spreading around," that person should look for the mistake in him. It means that his way lacks quality.

And some circles get people and give them food and drinks, let them stay in their houses and of course such people might show a tendency towards them because of this if they are in need. I mean such people might show a tendency towards Muslims and Islam. But a sound result cannot be attained from that. The style they are talking about, the method they are employing is very hard for someone in the middle. It is very difficult for them to accept. They misrepresent Islam as such an intricate, such a difficult and hard religion and they show the understanding of quality in Muslims' lives as such a sheepish, such a deficient life that it seems like –may Allah forbid- a living Hell to people.  Well my brother, what is the need for that? Why do you not present Islam like Paradise as it actually is, why do you not present an ambiance like that of Paradise, a manner that reminds Paradise?  Why would anyone deny something like that?  I mean they are presenting such a model for women that it is really hard to find anything to be called high quality. There is a severe lack of quality. They base themselves on ugliness, they base themselves on lack of quality. There is a model that intends to put away beauty completely. They present beauty as if it is something atrocious, as if it is unlawful for a woman. And they attempt to present "ugly" woman as devout and to present beautiful woman as if she has committed an unlawful act. For a well groomed, clean and class woman they say; "well, such a woman can have nothing to do with Islam. " Yet for an ugly and ill groomed woman they say; "well, such a woman is a devout woman." Or for an ugly and ill groomed man, with a bushy, ragged outlook they say; "Well, this must be a saint." He doesn't listen to music, he doesn't like paintings, he keeps away from people, he doesn't speak much, he doesn't  pay compliments, he leads a weird life yet they appraise such a person. They appraise him but nevertheless they keep away from him. They feel embarrassed about him, they feel discomfort but in secret, if they find someone to talk to, they say; "Well, it appears that he is such a devout person, but he should not come  to my house, he should not talk to my children." They find such a person dangerous in that respect and say; "such a person should keep away from us."  Yet towards the people they found to be high quality, even if they are irreligious, they show love. They admire such people but again they are hostile towards quality. They admire quality, for instance their children, their family, they all admire quality, but they themselves in practice present quality as if it is a wrong way to follow. For that reason we should explain this dilemma about quality by preparing a book.

DIDEM URER: Insha'Allah.

ADNAN OKTAR: Of course, because we will be using a polite language it will not be in a destructive manner. Yes.. For instance our Prophet (saas) was very high quality person. He used to grow roses around his house. That was a desert environment and he was growing roses. Even under harshest conditions he took quality as a basis. His house was small yet very high quality and very clean, it was immaculately clean.  The means they have had was quite limited yet his hair was bright and clean. At that time there was a viscous, beautiful smelling oil and our Prophet (saas) used to use olive oil as well as that viscous oil. That was an oil mixed with a beautiful smelling rose extract. Our Prophet (saas) used to wear it on his hair as brilliantine, so his hair was shinning brightly, of course it showed his hair even darker and bright. It showed him even more youthful. He used to comb his hair everyday many times. His hair was very neatly parted in the middle and in plaits on both sides. In very nice and neat, beautiful plaits. So look how much importance he attached to grooming and beauty. His eyes were tinged with kohl. He used to ting his eyes with kohl. His attire was all white and immaculately clean. The frock he wore and the shirt he wore underneath were all white. His teeth were sparkling. That for instance is a sign of quality. When he smiled his teeth were sparkling like light. He smelled very beautiful. That for instance another sign of quality. The quality of his perfume.. He wore the highest quality perfume, he wore the highest quality clothes for that time. His addressing was high quality, the words he selected were all very high quality, very beautiful. His gait was high quality, the way he sat and the way he stood up were all very high quality, the way he ate was very high quality. Quality prevailed all around him. Quality unburdens one's heart, it would bring one delight. Quality is one of the most important ornaments of life. Once the quality is lost, a person would become introverted. For instance there are many people very weary of life with faces as long as a fiddle. They perform their prayers and fast yet many of the Muslims are weary of life. They are experiencing that depression of lack of quality. Their houses are miserable. They go out, everywhere is unkempt. That is the case in Afghanistan, in Iraq, that is the case in Syria, in Pakistan. Lack of quality is quite prevalent. People visiting there all say so. In pilgrimage, in Mecca and Medina in places pilgrims are very crowded, for instance in Arafat, in Jabal al-Nour a tragic neglect is prevalent.  People there, the administrators are saying; "do not go and say anything about this." That is why people do not say anything about this. That is the reason why it is not very well known among people.  They are saying; "That might cause bad assumptions so you should not say anything about this." Well my brother, instead of telling people not to speak, why do you not clean those places, why do you not make it well-kept? People have written their names all around, on the rocks, on the stones, these are the places our Prophet(saas) wandered around. In the entrance of the Cave of Hira, there are plastic bottles throw , rags and tissues, all on the ground. It is inconceivably dirty. Well my brother, you should be ashamed of that. First of all clean those paintings, why do you let people paint those rocks? Why do you keep that places all unprotected? Why do you let this happen? A grave lack of quality is prevalent. For instance during the pilgrimage they show many attitudes lacking quality. They pull and push each other, push women around, knock down people praying.. These never take place in the media and are never talked about. People going there only say that "it was very nice." They do not talk about these atrocious acts and repugnant behaviors. Actually these should be openly talked about. People seeing such behaviors take a dislike towards Islam, they are very negatively affected.

Love & Quality

Love and Quality

• There are two important matters in the world in regard to the global reign of Islam, let me state it clearly; the first is love and the second is quality.

• Lovelessness brings about lack of quality; lack of quality brings about lovelessness. Lovelessness progresses very rapidly in an environment of poor quality. Love and quality is nested in one another. We will strive for our brothers to be very high quality Muslims. We will strive for love to develop to the utmost.

• Without a high quality society, a high quality life, the world would not embrace Islam.

• Lack of quality is very widespread in the whole Asia and Middle East, and because of that lack of quality they are being crushed. Quality should abe improved in all Islamic countries.

• Lack of quality and lovelessness is the greatest enemy of the Islamic world, it is their greatest opponent. Lack of quality and lovelessness gives way to bring about aggressive, terrorist spirited people full of hatred who want to kill and injure people and then may Allah forbid, ghettos will be formed in the neighborhoods. Ghettos of hatred will be formed. People of hatred will come about. That is very dangerous.

• There is a search for quality in the human nature. Quality is what is commanded in the Qur'an. The Paradise for instance is a very high quality place. There is the rule of quality in every corner. The clothes are high quality, the beds are high quality, houses are high quality, people are high quality, everywhere is high quality.

• It is very crucial that Muslims become very high quality people as soon as possible. It is very important that they bring quality to the forefront, that they attach importance to science, art and love and that they become peaceful. A feeling of hatred develops in the hearts of people towards people full of hatred. And then they become very determined and very decisive to kill them. Bigotry and lack of quality is a grave danger, lovelessness is a grave danger.
