"when the world pushes you to your knees, you're in the perfect position to pray"

The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is reported to have said ,"How amazing is the affair of the believer. Everything is good for him - and that is for no one but the believer: If good times come his way, he is thankful and that is good for him, and if hardship comes his way, he is patient and that is good for him." (Authenticated by Al-Albani)


Meet people in such a manner that if you die,
they should weep for you,
and if you live,
they should long for you
- Ali (radi Allahu anhu)


The person I like most is the one who points out my defects
- Umar (radiAllahu anhu)


Knowledge is taken from breath,
not lives in a book
- Sheikh Hamza Yusuf


Make no friendship with an elephant keeper
If you have no room to entertain an elephant
- Saadi al-Shiraz


Do not sit idle, for indeed death is seeking you

You possess only whatever will not be lost in a ship wreck.

For those who realize that everything is from God, everything is the same.
- Jalaluddin al-Rumi


What can my enemies do to me? My paradise is in my heart, it is with me wherever I go. To imprison me is to provide me with seclusion. To send me into exile is to send me away in the Path of Allah. And to kill me is to make me a martyr.
- Ibn Taymeeyah


If those who do not possess knowledge avoid the scholarly discussions, disagreement will end.
-Abu Hamid al-Ghazali

Narrated By Abu Said al-Khudri (RA): One day the Messenger of Allah (SA) entered the mosque. He saw there a man from the Ansar (a resident of Madinah) called Abu Umamah and said to him: "What is the matter that I am seeing you sitting in the mosque when there is no time of prayer?" Abu Umamah said: "I am entangled in sorrow and debts" The Prophet Muhammad (SA) replied: "Shall I not teach you words by which, when you say them, Allah will remove your sorrow, and settle your debts?" Abu Umamah said: "Yes, Messenger of Allah" The Prophet Muhammad (SA) said: "Say in the morning and evening: O Allah! I seek refuge with You from worry and grief, from incapacity and laziness, from cowardice and miserliness, from being heavily in debt and from being overpowered by (other) men." Abu Umamah said: "When I did that Allah removed my distress and settled my debt." [Abu Dawood]

Jihad in the Qur'an:

We learn from the Qur'an that believers must be willing to exert great efforts in the cause of God, using our wealth and ourselves. These efforts (jihaad) may, or may not include fighting (qitaal). Fighting is called for only under certain circumstances and then, is strictly regulated in the Qur'an.

One often misused verse is 2:216;

"Fighting is prescribed for you and it is hateful to you. It is possible that you hate a thing that is good for you, and that you love a thing that is bad for. God knows and you do not know."

But this is, by no means the only verse that deals with fighting. What else does the Qur'an say about fighting? When, where, why, how, and with whom is fighting allowed? We find fighting commanded in these words:

Fight in the cause of God THOSE WHO FIGHT YOU. But DO NOT COMMIT EXCESSES. God does not love those who commit excesses. And slay them where encounter them. And expel them FROM WHERE THEY EXPELLED YOU. Unrest and oppression are worse than killing. Do not fight them at the sacred mosque, unless they fight you there. But IF THEY FIGHT YOU, slay them. Such is the reward of the disbelievers. (2:190-191 emphasis added).

These verses order fighting only those who fight you, suggesting only defensive combat. This is supported by the verses immediately following:

BUT IF THEY CEASE, God is Forgiving, Merciful, and Fight them UNTIL THERE IS NO MORE UNREST OR OPPRESSION and religion is for God. But if they cease, LET THERE BE NO HOSTILITY EXCEPT TO OPPRESSORS (2:192-193 emphasis added).
