Most of all, we must never be deceived. We must never allow ourselves to think that anything in this world succeeds, fails, is given, taken, done, or undone without Allah. It is only by our connection to our Creator that we rise or fall in life, in our relationship with our world—and with all of humanity.

Love people for the sake of God, but never love God for the sake of people.

Some feel lonely because they haven't found that perfect 'companion' yet. Sometimes Allah sends everyone else away so you can find that only in Him.

Don't worry about what the people say. Sometimes they'll praise you. Sometimes they'll condemn you. All these things all fade away. And in the end, Allah takes care of everything. Perfectly.

There's a special place in my heart for the ones who were with me at my lowest and still loved me when I wasn't very loveable.

You put your head on the ground, and in that moment everything was okay.

The one who knows himself isn't deceived by either praise or criticism.
