  • Fellow Muslims! We are nowadays confronted with a relentless war waged by the materialistic western civilization and culture that burns its producers and afflicts them with calamities, misery, immorality, disruption, suicide, and all kinds of evils...it is a civilization that races towards creating all means of trouble, disturbance, and destruction.
  • Today we Muslims and indeed the entire world can witness the greatness of martyrdom being illustrated in the uprising in Palestine in general and the Al-Aqsaa in particular. This kind of stance, which revives the magnitude and virtues of martyrdom in the heart of the Muslim nation, is exactly what we need at this time.
  • The Jews are described in the Book of Allah as those who distort words and facts and quote them out of context and this is what they and their supporters from the tyrant regimes all over the world are currently doing. They use false terminology to misguide, confuse, and deceive.
  • What your brothers are committing in Al-Aqsaa are not acts of mindless violence, but rather it is a blessed uprising to resist and curtail the Jewish oppression and aggression: this is a legal right which all religions, ideologies and international laws recognize. Nobody could deny this fact except the ignorant, arrogant, or evildoers.

  • Ascending to heaven is the greatest trip in every good Muslim's existence. I don't believe that the Prophet meant this trip to be an exception. I think that a woman can get into Heaven, as long as she's accompanied by a man of her family.

  • He who leaves his children in the midst of immorality and sin, where they hang around in hotbeds of vice, go through the crowds of people, keep company of anyone without monitoring, spend nights outside home without control, and stay away without accountability, has indeed been undutiful to them and has wronged them.
  • The most disastrous consequence occurs when they fall victims to the whisperings of devils, the khutbahs of alarmists, the books of extremists and falsifiers, and the tools of secret organizations, takfirist, terrorist groups, partisan ideologies, atheist movements, and licentious practices that fill the hearts of our youth with hatred against our rulers, scholars, countries, and religion. By so doing, they start a huge fire with tiny sticks and twigs.
  • Your children will remain yours as long as you form a close relationship with them, befriend them, treat them with gentleness and leniency, lavish love on them, keep generous to them, and give them sincere counsel. They will, however, be controlled by your enemy if you underestimate them, degrade them, scorn them, and distance yourselves from them.
