“When the Message of Allah is condensed, it is in Qur’anic form. If it is elaborated upon, it is in the form of the Sunnah & Seerah of the Masumeen.”

"The Prophet says, ‘If a Muslim violates the right of a protected minority person in a Muslim society, I will be his opponent on the Day of Qiyamah.’ Today, ISIS are killing, massacring, & destroying shrines of the Anbiya. This is opposed to centuries of Muslim rule. This has nothing to do with Sunni or Shia Islam."

"Allah explains various issues in detail through the Qur’an. It is not only ibadat, not only aqeedah, it is a way of life. This is difficult for the modern secular mind to understand. This is a point of conflict for the Western media, they see that Islam has an opinion about everything in life."
