Islam is not just about loving; Islam is a religion of love.

Say the other side as well.

Why are you saying it halfway? Why are you cutting the sentence short?

Islam is a religion of love and of anger.

A person who lacks anger is a half person.

A person who lacks anger is a half person, my respected brothers.

I'll say it once more.

The late Nurettin Topçu wrote in his book Yarınki Türkiye,

the young people who will build the Turkey of tomorrow,

he says they must be idealistic people, people who get angry.

You will be hot-tempered.

You will get angry when you see something wrong.

Good God, why is this happening? The Qur'an says so — why is it like this?

The hadith says this — why is it like this? You don't get angry; you're like jelly.

You're like a jellyfish. Pick it up in your hand and it just flops.

There is nothing solid between your fingers.

Are you soft like jelly?

You will become angry for the sake of Allah. You will speak the truth.

The vein on the Prophet's forehead, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, would swell,

it would stick out like a finger when he became angry.

Did our Prophet always behave so meekly, always smiling like that?

No.

Sometimes he became angry—very angry.
