Islam doesn't try to destroy cultures; it cleans them up. You can keep your language but get rid of your racist speech. You can keep your style of cooking, but get rid of alcohol. You can keep your cultural dresses, but keep your modesty on the highest level.

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

The more knowledge (of deen) you have the more humble you should be. Instead you are becoming judgemental.

I look back and half of Ramadan is over in the blink of an eye. Before I know I'll be saying that about my entire life

Every single success you experience is a combination of two things: your effort and Allah's help. When you don't put in enough effort, Allah does not give His barakah. And sometimes you might put in a lot of effort but you may not see the result you expected. That, also, is Allah's barakah.

Forgiving someone isn't just about doing good to another. It's also about healing a scar in your own heart.

You can’t change someone’s behaviour, all you can do is remind them, and hope that Allah will change their heart.
