Sometimes you don't realize how special something is until you lose it. Thats how I feel about Ramadan every year.

Your true friends dont shy away from keeping you in check because your wellbeing is more important to them than even your friendship and they'd rather risk offending you than watch you harm yourself.

If you're not doing it for Allah, then don't expect any help from Allah.

Imagine if your kids had to carry a ladder to climb an apartheid wall to get to school everyday.

Being unashamedly Muslim while excelling in whatever you do is of the greatest forms of Dawah.

Acting humble for people's praise is one of the most dangerous forms of riyaa (showing off).

When people wear you out, spend some time in isolation with Allah and your relationship with Him will improve as well as with the people.
