Corona virus
Azhari said about Corona that, Corona is our earned, harvest of sin; if we had given up disobedience, we would have been immersed in the worship of one God, if we had obeyed the rules given by Allah, the rules of Sharia and Islam, then this torment, wrath, disaster would not have been struck."

Eid prayer in Corona epidemic
Azhari stated that, it is better to pray Eid prayer in house according to Islamic rulings in the corona epidemic.

Homosexuality
Azhari expressed about homosexuality as e perverted sex. He said that "Islam has declared it clearly forbidden. For a healthy sex life Allah Tayala has prescribed for us a sacred bond like marriage. All sexual intercourse outside of marriage is forbidden in Islam. This sacred bond between men and women has the means of peace of mind, social responsibility and the creation of a new generation. Therefore, no Muslim can ever be homosexual or even speak for homosexuals."

Bookfair
Azhari also advised parents in Bangladesh to visit museums, zoos and children's parks as well as the Ekushey Book Fair with children. Azhari said, "In the joy of the mind, they (children) will walk around the different stalls and look at the pages of all the fun and colorful books. Buy a variety of children's books. These moments of going to the book fair will be beautiful memories in their lives." Azhari suggested buying books such as stories, poems and science fiction as well as biographies of the Islamic prophets through stories, the history of the lost Muslim tradition, the Children's Faith series and the "I Want to Be" series to develop children as enlightened people.

Rape
Azhari expressed his view about rape that, "Rape is a sexual crime or sexual violence. Rape is not sex at all, it is an abuse of male power. And the rapists grew up in the shadow of power. Usually, people want to try what they learn by watching. Enjoying the rape scene with the whole family in the movie was not supposed to be anything better in the society. That is what is happening. Taste power in the political umbrella at a young age - who does not want to exercise that power? When the law and justice system of the country became criminal friendly, they dared to rape with the help of uncontrolled and excessive force. They are always behind the scenes in the name of power and trampling on the loopholes of the law." He also said "If we really want to stop rape from society — then we need to change the overall system and establish a society that is anti-crime and humane. Our education system must also be a God-fearing education system. Not only that, first the ruling class and the guardians have to turn themselves into God-fearing people. Only then is it possible to change the overall system."

Anti-Islamic media
Azhari called for a boycott of those who hate Islam. Pointing to Bangladeshi TV channel Ekattor TV as Anti-Islamic, he said that, "In times of crisis, in the news, in the connections - it is time to boycott those who hate Islam everywhere. So, boycott Ekattor TV. I did it, so do you." ”

2020 France Muhammad cartoon protest
On France Muhammad cartoon issue of 2020, Azhari said, it is barbaric to propagate hate speech in the name of freedom of speech and blamed president Macron for this. He also said France has been empowered by illegal dictatorship on African countries, and God will make them pay for their barbaric actions.
