When paying charity, one should smile and be humble, allowing the hand of the indigent to be above the giver's hand.

We are in a waking dream... We see worlds where others scheme.

Muhammad Ali put an end to the idea that you can't be an American and a Muslim.

You cannot honour the prophet by dishonouring his teaching.

I think that's deeply rooted in Muslim consciousness, the idea of not submitting to anything other than God. "You can abuse me, but you're not going to win me over. But if you treat me with respect and dignity, I'm going to fall in love with you. I'm going to sing your praises all over the world because you're powerful and you treated me with human dignity."

People can't think when their minds are clouded with fear.
