You've been given status today, but never forget where you came from. You came from dirt and will return to dirt. You will be on that day as you began: just you and Him.

Happiness, sadness, loss and gain all pass away. What they do to us is what remains.

We will suffer the moment we take our eyes off the End and get lost in the means.

People think that tests only come in the form of hardships. Allah also tests us with ease, it's often in the test of ease that we fail most.

We will be asked, "what did you love most in this world? What did you spend life doing? What did you run after? Will it last? The things that you chased, will they last? Will they help you, or will they hurt you when the illusion of this life has passed?"

As a Muslim woman, I’ve been liberated from a silent kind of bondage. I don’t answer to the slaves of God on earth. I answer to their King.

Ya Allah, envelop our hearts with a shield of your light and mercy, so the pain doesn't penetrate.
