Everything we do is motivated by love. Even fear and hate are born of love. So be careful what you love.

Many years ago, our father Ibrahim (AS) made a choice. He loved his son. But He loved God more. The commandment came to sacrifice his son. But it wasn't his son that was slaughtered. It was his attachment to anything that could compete with his love for God. So let us ask ourselves in these beautiful days of sacrifice, which attachments do we need to slaughter?

Like Musa you too will be saved from the Sea. Just look through it and see Him. Then the illusion will crumble and you'll be left with the only Reality: Him.

Before anything can break your heart, it must first own your heart. Stop handing your heart to dunya-it'll stop breaking it.

Tear your heart out of your chest. And hand it to God. There is no other healing. I swear, there is no other healing

Know that transformation sometimes begins with a fall. So never curse the fall.

When someone hurts you, your first thought may be to wish you had never met them at all. But remember that even those who've hurt you, came into your life for a reason, and left for a reason. It’s for the best and healing starts with acceptance.
