My value as a woman is not measured by the size of my waist or the number of men who like me. My worth as a human being is measured on a higher scale: a scale of righteousness and piety.

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

At the time of death your tongue will speak only what is in the heart.To say la illaha illa Allah, you must live it.

On that Day, we will see the true reality. On that Day, we will realize that two rak`at (units) of prayer were greater than everything in the heavens and the earth. We will realize the priceless check that was left on our doorstep every night as we slept. There will come a day when we would give up everything under the sky just to come back and pray those two rak`at.
