Never forget the favors done for you. Always forget the favors you’ve done for others.

I tell people this over and over again: don't attach your faith to people. People will come and go. People will disappoint you. People will divulge dark secrets. People will turn out to be the opposite of what you thought. Allah is perfect. His Messenger (peace be upon him) is a perfect example, and the religion is a perfect methodology. Attach yourself to the principles instead of the people. That way no Shaykh going wild or role model going rogue will be able to shake your faith.

When Allah loves you, He places the love of you in the hearts of the people whose love is worth having.

When you forget that you need Allah, He puts you in a situation that causes you to call upon him. And that's for your own good.

Talk to Allah in your own language with your heart fully present. Allah doesn't need you to rhyme or speak arabic.

Good friends are hard to find so when you find one, hold on tight!

What you see in other people is a reflection of yourself. A person of goodness sees goodness in others and a person of evil sees evil in others.
