Our religion doesn't demand perfection but instead a manageable strive to better ourselves.

When you’re going through something hard and you start wondering where Allah is, just remember, the Teacher is always quiet during a test.

Sabr is not remaining quiet and allowing anger to build up inside you. Sabr is to talk about what's bothering you without losing control of your emotions.

The people who test your patience are a blessing.. Without them, you can't practice patience.

There is nothing wrong with having a good job, there is nothing wrong with having a nice house, there is nothing wrong with that. There is something wrong when that is your goal.

When you find yourself in a position to help someone, be happy because Allah is answering that person’s prayer through you.

If someone corrects you, and you feel offended, then YOU have an EGO problem

If shaytan has entered into your heart - evil will look beautiful to you and good will seem tiring and exhausting.

Guilt is a gift from Allah warning you that what you are doing is violating your soul

What you desire is what you want, what you have is what Allah wants.

Every relationship has tough days. Don't let the grudge last. Be the first to try to make things right and stop waiting for an apology.

Success comes not from having certainty, but being able to live with uncertainty.

Thought

If it hurts, do it more frequently, and bring the pain forward.

I have achieved an inner freedom.

Where perception is, there also are pain and pleasure, and where these are, there, of necessity, is desire.

The big problem in making the hard decisions has much to do with the personal and professional well-being of the person making the call.

Country people do not behave as if they think life is short; they live on the principle that it is long, and savor variations of the kind best appreciated if most days are the same.

Clearly when the liberties are left unrestricted they collide with one another.

The hardest thing for me in Vietnam wasn't seeing the wounded and dead. It was watching the big transport jets come in, bringing loads of fresh new boys for the war.

When I first came in, I partied and had a good time. I used to spend $500,000 on chains that don't make no sense. Then I started having babies. I don't do the bull**** no more.
