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

Salah is the first thing we will be asked about on the Day of Judgment, and yet it is the last thing that is on our mind.

Don't let this Ramadan be just a holiday of rituals. Don't finish reading the Quran without it transforming you. Don't feed your body at suhoor, but starve your heart of Qiyam. Don't reduce this downpour of mercy to just a month of sweets and lavish iftars. Seek Him, you will find. Take a sincere step towards change, transformation, redemption. If you do, you will find Him in front of you. Find Him this month. He's been there all along. Closer than your jugular vein. Look and you'll find. Walk and you'll arrive.

Allah does not withhold to withhold. Remaking the heart was the objective. To remake it, He sometimes breaks it first.

Tawwakul is not an act of the limbs-it is an act of the heart. And so while the limbs are striving hard, the heart is completely reliant on Allah. This means whatever the outcome of the limbs' striving, the heart will be completely satisfied, knowing that it is the flawless decision of Allah. But in order to reach this level, one must hold on to hope, strive with the limbs, and let go with the heart.

Arrogance is actually just ignorance. Ignorance of what you really are in relation to the world-but most of all in relation to God.

There is meaning in all things. But are you paying attention?
