In any nation, the hypocrites do not become apparent except during times of fitnah (severe tests and hardships).

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

Don’t despair if your heart has been through a lot of trauma. Sometimes that’s how beautiful hearts are remade: they are shattered first.

If there is one recipe for unhappiness it is that: expectations.

The poison leaves bit by bit, not all at once. Be patient. You are healing.

Oh external worshiper, know that worship without heart is motions. Oh seeker of knowledge, know that knowledge without purification is a dangerous weapon of the ego. Oh activist, know that work without orientation of heart is fruitless. Oh lover, know that love without God is pain.

Take care of the hearts you've been entrusted with. Once lost, they can be lost from you forever.
