Many of us rely on our own illusion of control. But when God makes it known to you that you're not the one steering the ship, be thankful. He has removed the illusion, and forced you to rely only on Him.

You cried when He took away your drop of water, not knowing He'd saved for you, the sea.

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

There's a time for words and a time for silence. If you're listening, you'll hear the difference.

I am always shocked to discover how many people believe that hardships are a punishment from God! When people face tests or see others facing tests, they assume Allah must be angry with them. SubhannAllah! Remember which people were tested the most: The Prophets! And they were the closest to Allah. Every hardship is good for you-if it brings you closer to Him!

Beware of what you let enter your heart. There will come a day when you'd give anything to remove it.

You have trouble feeling alive, so you stab your own heart just to feel something. It was the emptiness that was killing you. You created the sadness and the fear to fill it.
