“Due to the monstrous activity of a handful of extremists, the majority of the human society has been conditioned to believe that the term 'musalman' is somehow synonymous with terrorism. But the reality is, the term 'musalman' refers to someone with 'musallam iman,' that means, a pure conscience. Thus any individual whose conscience is pure and clear, is a musalman or muslim, regardless of socio-religious background. Likewise, any human being who loves his or her neighbor is a Christian. Hence, scriptures can't define your religion, only your actions with other people do.”

“God’s mercy is greater than your sins or circumstances. His compassionate love embraces the cactus parts of you that you swear no one could hug. His grace celebrates the parts of you that nobody claps for. God loved you before you were even created, before you even knew of Him. As the Qur’an says, “It is He who sent down tranquility into the hearts of the believers, that they may add faith to their faith for to Allah belong the forces of the heavens and the Earth and Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom” (48:4).”

“In Islam, you can know God is with you through signs like feeling a sense of ease and guidance in performing righteous deeds, a strong connection to worship, a heart filled with compassion and mercy, and by observing His signs in creation. The clearest sign is a consistent and complete adherence to the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (Sunnah).”

“We don't have the luxury to say that, there is no hope for reform in Islam, because by saying this, we would be disavowing the entire peace-loving Muslim population of the world. We cannot leave our Muslim sisters and brothers behind to be oppressed by their own priestly tyrants, while the rest of the world keeps progressing with an open mind. The entire civilized society of the world, must put their heart and soul to get Islam liberated from the shackles of fundamentalism. Conscience must triumph over orthodox barbarianism, otherwise there would be no hope for the progress and wellbeing of humanity as a truly wise species.”

“Terrorism has nothing to do with religion, Islam or otherwise. Terrorism is born of fundamentalism not of religion.”

“You must remember, the so-called Jihadis who are in reality, mentally unstable individuals run by Quranic fundamentalists, do not represent the whole Muslim population of the world.”

“Terrorism is born of fundamentalism not of religion.”

“If money is the real solution to every problem, then why the hell wasn't our Prophet ﷺ a millionaire? If money could truly fix every problem in our hearts, then why did our beloved Prophet ﷺ, peace be upon him, choose to live a simple and noble life instead of becoming rich like a millionaire? This gentle wisdom teaches us that not every problem is meant to be solved by wealth, but by good character, strong faith, and a clear purpose in life.”

“I ran across an excerpt today (in English translation) of some dialogue/narration from the modern popular writer, Paulo Coelho in his book: Aleph.(Note: bracketed text is mine.)... 'I spoke to three scholars,' [the character says 'at last.'] ...two of them said that, after death, the [sic (misprint, fault of the publisher)] just go to Paradise. The third one, though, told me to consult some verses from the Koran. [end quote]' ...I can see that he's excited. [narrator]' ...Now I have many positive things to say about Coelho: He is respectable, inspiring as a man, a truth-seeker, and an appealing writer; but one should hesitate to call him a 'literary' writer based on this quote. A 'literary' author knows that a character's excitement should be 'shown' in his or her dialogue and not in the narrator's commentary on it. Advice for Coelho: Remove the 'I can see that he's excited' sentence and show his excitement in the phrasing of his quote.(Now, in defense of Coelho, I am firmly of the opinion, having myself written plenty of prose that is flawed, that a novelist should be forgiven for slipping here and there.)Lastly, it appears that a belief in reincarnation is of great interest to Mr. Coelho ... Just think! He is a man who has achieved, (as Leonard Cohen would call it), 'a remote human possibility.' He has won lots of fame and tons of money. And yet, how his preoccupation with reincarnation—none other than an interest in being born again as somebody else—suggests that he is not happy!”

“Giorgia Meloni Prime Minister of Italy says in 2025. Islam is not compatible with western values, This is my reply to her. "Thank you for acknowledging this Giorgia Meloni Prime Minister of Italy. You are right, A religion based on dignity cannot be compatible with a culture that is mother of pornography, culture of narcotics, women abuse, nudity, prostitution, extramarital affairs, human pet, mistress, illegitimate children, old age homes the commodification of women, and hollow values.”

“Celebrate the festival in a joyous way, repare yourself for Eid In a heartwarming, special way Stems not made of weft, Nor designed to show off. Wear the garments of kindness, Woven from love, never to take off Use the fragrance that's rich with care Scent yourself with the perfume of love and spread it everywhere.

“निसार तेरी चहल-पहल पर हज़ारों ईद-ए-रबीउल अव्वल, सिवाए इब्लीस के जहाँ में सभी तो ख़ुशियाँ मना रहे हैं। कमज़ोर था इस्लाम इतना जो न सिखा सका तरीक़ा ख़ुशी मनाने का, हम जुलूस की हिदायत नसरानियों से सीख कर आ रहे हैं। और जैसे जाहिल मनाते हैं दिन कोई अपने किसी बड़े का, वही जहालत हम ईद-मिलादुन्नबी में ला रहे हैं। हमने भी कर ली है भीड़ इकट्ठी, हमारे हुजूम गलियों में नारे लगा रहे हैं, अभी तो सिर्फ़ डीजे बजे हैं, कल ख़ुशी में सड़कों पर खुले नाच होंगे। हम ख़ुशी मनाने के तरीक़े जाहिलों से सीख कर आ रहे हैं। फ़ज्र तर्क हुई जुलूस की तैयारी में, ज़ोहर थकान ने अदा न करने दी। यूँ तो हज़ारों थे मुसलमान जुलूस की भीड़ में, मोमिन को छोड़ कर सब नमाज़ से मुँह मोड़ कर जा रहे हैं। इस तरह सिवाए इब्लीस के जहाँ में सभी तो ख़ुशियाँ मना रहे हैं। शिरकत करे जो जुलूस में वही असली मुसलमान होते हैं, डेक पर बजती नातों से मोहब्बत के दावे साबित होते हैं। भीड़ में नारा "या रसूल अल्लाह" उन्होंने भी लगाया है, जो तालीमे रसूल ﷺ को सिरे से तर्क करते आ रहे हैं। और जेसे जाहिल मनाते हैं दिन कोई अपने किसी बड़े का ठीक वैसे ही हम विलादते ख़ातमुन नबीय्यीन ﷺ मना रहे है तुम्हारी औरतों के पर्दे कल इन्हीं जुलूसों में चाक होंगे, क्या औरत नहीं है उम्मती जो दूर रहे जुलूस से? कल यह फ़तवे आम होंगे, इसके बिगड़ते रूप को तुम अपनी आँखों से देखोगे, दीन-ओ-इस्लाम के नाम इन्हीं जुलूसों से बदनाम होंगे। बनेगा दाग़ कल जो इस्लाम के दामन पर, आशिक़े रसूल कुछ ऐसे तरीक़े नबी ﷺ के नाम पर ला रहे हैं। कहीं ऐसा तो नहीं इब्लीस मुसलमान के भेस में आ रहे हैं, ख़ुशी मनाने के इब्लीसी तरीक़े चुपचाप सिखा रहे हैं। और आ जाये धोखे में सीधा-सादा उम्मती इसे सुनकर, जो यह नारे पुरज़ोर लगा रहे है सिवाए इब्लीस के जहां मे सभी तो खुशियां मना रहे हैं निसार तेरी चहल-पहल पर हज़ारों ईद-ए-रबीउल अव्वल, सिवाए इब्लीस के जहाँ में सभी तो ख़ुशियाँ मना रहे हैं। और जैसे जाहिल मनाते हैं दिन कोई अपने किसी बड़े का, वही जहालत हम ईद-मिलादुन्नबी में ला रहे हैं।”

“REMEMBER: Prayer is not about punishment or reward; it is about cultivating a genuine connection with God. The deep purpose of prayer is not to obtain a certain outcome; rather, it is about having an intimate conversation with your Lord.”

“The human being was created for something more than just living and dying by our egos and desires. Like granite, our egos are transformed and purified by the heat of worldly trials and friction into the precious ruby of the spirit. We were not sent to this Earth to achieve something, but rather to become what we have always been—a mirror for the divine qualities of Allah. We were created to know, love and worship Allah through purifying our hearts and becoming representatives of Allah’s mercy upon all of creation without discrimination.”

“As Rumi says, “Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.” As Muslims we are called to guide one another, advise one another and to celebrate one another. The Qur’an’s command toward “enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong” (Qur’an 3:104) is not an excuse for judging and shaming each other. As my teacher once said, “If you can’t counsel someone from love, then don’t counsel them because if you advise others from a place of judgment then you are fostering the quality of arrogance within you.”

“As Muslims we can advise one another from love, but the role of the Divine Judge, Al-Hakam, is purely reserved for Allah alone. As Muslims we can’t be harsh with the creation and expect the Creator of that creation to be soft with us. In fact, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم tells us, “The merciful will be shown mercy by the Most Merciful. Be merciful to those on the earth and the One in the heavens will have mercy upon you.”

“As the thirteenth-century mystic Ibn Ata’ Allah Al- Iskandari says, “Don’t think you are veiled from Allah by something that is not Allah. There is nothing besides Allah. You are veiled from Him by the illusion that there is something other than Allah.”

“A shopkeeper had an assistant whose eyes were crossed and thus saw everything double. One day, the shopkeeper asked his assistant to grab a one-of-a-kind, expensive jar of rose water from the storeroom for a special customer. The assistant ran to the storeroom, only to return moments later and ask, “I see two jars, which one would you like me to bring?” The shopkeeper impatiently sighed, as he had grown accustomed to such questions. The shopkeeper decided to try a new tactic with his assistant so he said, “Break one of the jars and bring me the one that’s left!” The assistant apprehensively followed the shopkeeper’s orders and broke one of the jars, which of course caused “the other” jar to break too.”

“As an anonymous writer once said, “The light at the end of the tunnel is not an illusion, the tunnel is.” The declaration of la illaha illa Allah is a reminder that all shapes and forms are like a mirage before the face of God. Allah is the only Truth, Al- Haqq. As the mystics say, “The World is not Allah but there is nothing else but Allah.” Nothing moves without Him. Nothing lives and exists without Him. Allah’s spirit or ruh, was blown into the dead earth of humankind to give us life. We live because of Al-Hayy, The All-Living. We see because of Al-Basir, The All-Seeing. We hear because of As-Sami,’ The All-Hearing. Everything we are mirrors the beauty of our Lord. We are because He is.”
