Sometimes being let down my a human being is the direct cause for you finding your own strength & depending only on Allah.

The sign of a beautiful person is that they always see beauty in others.

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

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

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

Kind words cost you nothing but are sometimes worth more than a million dollars.

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.
