We patch up our world by tearing our religion into pieces. So that neither our religion remains, nor what we are patching.

You must adhere to truthfulness, for truthfulness leads to righteousness. And, verily, righteousness leads to Paradise.

How wondrous is the matter of the believer, for all that happens to him is good: if good befalls him he shows gratitude, and it is best for him; and if ill befalls him he shows patience, and it is best for him.

None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.

I looked at all friends, and did not find a better friend than safeguarding the tongue. I thought about all the dresses but did not find a better dress than piety. I thought about all kinds of wealth, but did not find a better wealth than contentment in a little. I thought of all sorts of good deeds but did not find a better deed than offerring good advice. I looked at all types of sustenance, but did not find a better sustenance than patience.

Religion cannot survive, whole and effective, when it is confined to one single compartment of life and education. Religion is either all or it is nothing; either it dwarfs all profane studies or it is dwarfed by them.

I never once argued with an opponent except that I made dua to Allah to show me the truth on his lips.

We are living in such sweetness that if kings knew about it, they would fight us over it with their swords.

We have a message, and our message is a message of mercy and love and hope. That really is the message of Islam. But let me warn myself and you. If we can't practice that within ourselves, we are in no position of trying to even pretend to lead others to this religion. We are only driving them away sometimes, unless Allah's care takes them and brings them to us. That's the fact.

Love is not love that alters
When it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
Oh no, it is an ever fixed mark
That looks on tempest and is never shaken.
