He advised Muslims to win souls to the religion by deeds and not by preaching only.
According to him, Prophet Muhammad was tolerant, caring and loving; asking “Why do you have contrary attributes and still want to use him as your role model. It is unpardonable for a Muslim to be intolerant and violence.”
