Many years ago, our father Ibrahim (AS) made a choice. He loved his son. But He loved God more. The commandment came to sacrifice his son. But it wasn't his son that was slaughtered. It was his attachment to anything that could compete with his love for God. So let us ask ourselves in these beautiful days of sacrifice, which attachments do we need to slaughter?

Its shocking how many people believe hardships are a punishment from God! Every hardship is good for you-if it brings you closer to Him!

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.

Can not the One who gives life to dead land, give life to dead hearts?

Allah is al-Kareem, so if He withholds from you it is not on account of stinginess. It is on account of His generosity. He withholds to give.

Your life is nothing more than a love story. Between you and God. Nothing more. Every person, every experience, every gift, every loss, every pain is sent to your path for one reason and one reason only: to bring you back to Him.

Beauty attracts beauty. If you want to know what you are, look at what you are drawn to.
