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.
Omar SuleimanSometimes Allah gives you bitterness in this life so that you can further enjoy the sweetness of the hereafter.
Omar SuleimanMany sisters complain that people don't want to marry them unless they stop wearing hijab. No man is worth your hijab, and a real man wouldn't request you to take it off in the first place.
Omar SuleimanWhat 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.
Omar SuleimanSometimes you don't realize how special something is until you lose it. Thats how I feel about Ramadan every year.
