The Prophet Muhammad (s) said: "Be kind, for whenever kindness becomes
part of something, it beautifies it. Whenever it is taken from
something, it leaves it tarnished." – Imam Bukhari's Book of Muslim
Manners.

"Allah. It all starts with Him– the universe, humanity, and our own
conception – and it all comes back to Him in the end. There's no
victory without Him, no progress, no peace. Strengthen your
relationship with Him in the easy times, and you will find Him beside
you in the hard times." – Wael Abdelgawad

learning, thinking, following your dreams, and loving the people in
your life. It's all worth it, it all matters and makes a difference.
Every single thing you do is meaningful, even when you don't see it.
You are my brothers, my sisters, myheroes." – Wael Abdelgawad

"When I am feeling low and downtrodden I just find a quiet place and
sit alone with my favorite book (the Quran)! When I turn each of its
miraculous pages my heart begins to feel lighter and the world around
me brighter! The love, warmth and security of each word sets in and it
is in these very moments that I know for sure in my heart how much
Allah really loves me! Alhamdulillah! Subhanallah! Allahu Akbar!" –
Asmaa Deanna-Dee

"'Oh, but what's the use of trying to be a good Muslim when I end up
sinning again and again?'… Well, what's the use of bathing when you
get dirty again and again? Salat (prayer) is a purifier. Though you
sin again and again, keep returning to Allah for purification. Fasting
is a purifier, Zakat is a purifier, Hajj is a purifier… We can use the
same analogy for hope and motivation. We have to keep finding them
again and again. That's the nature of life." – Wael Abdelgawad
11
"Try to become an embodiment of compassion and mercy in your daily
life. Do not wait for a situation to occur thatwill call out these
virtues inyou. Rather, seek out opportunities where you can manifest
them along with all of the other prophetic virtues. Do not live your
life passively waiting to be used, roused or stimulated into action by
events. Live an active life wherein you become the one who is
initiating acts of goodness and kindness in all that you do. Be an
embodiment of the truth you represent. Let your words and comportment
convey the dignity of the believer to all that you meet." – Imam Zaid
Shakir
12
"Wash your heart every morning with salat, then warm it up with dhikr.
Approach life with hope and faith. Every day do your best, Allah will
do the rest." – Wael Abdelgawad
13
"God is truly AWESOME! I see the POWER of GOD moving in MY LIFE, in my
families' lives, in the world….GOD has GREAT things in store for us.
All we have to do is submit and accept GOD's direction for our lives.
I accept!" – Hanan K. Bilal
14
"I believe in Allah because He believes in me… and in you too. He made
us Muslim, didn't He? That is agift and a blessing. So believe in His
plan for you, because He believes in you,He has faith in you, He has a
purpose for you." – Wael Abdelgawad
15
"Is not the help of God close by? Certainly it is. Godsays "Call upon
Me and I will respond." Don't tire on calling on Him. Don't despair
from receiving His Mercy. Despair is a sign of disbelief." – Imam Zaid
Shakir
16
"It's okay to feel sad, anxious, lonely, frustrated, and confused.
Feeling theseemotions doesn't make you less of a believer. The
difference between the believer and non-believer is that the believer
remainspatient and turns to Allah for help." – Wael Abdelgawad
