O Allah, Thou art my trust in every sorrow, and my hope in every hardship. In every difficulty I have encountered, Thou wert for me a refuge and a strength. How many a heavy burden which weakens the heart and baffles the mind, renders a friend impotent and causes the enemy to rejoice, I brought before thee with my complaint and Thou didst relieve me thereof. Thou art the end of my desire above all else. Thou art truly the bestower of every bounty, the source of every blessing and goal of every desire.
-Imam Hussayn ibn Ali(AS)

Verily, never will God change the condition of a people until they change what it is in themselves. 13:11

Anyone who loves us Ahlul Bayt must be ready to face a life of austerity.
-Imam Ali Ibn Abi-Talib (AS)
