Sometimes you don't realize how special something is until you lose it. Thats how I feel about Ramadan every year.
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 SuleimanRenew your intention EVERY day, EVERY time you pray, and EVERY time you are about to do a good deed or else shaytan will lead your heart and mind astray.
Omar SuleimanI 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.
