fall and pass. War, oppression and hunger remain, but the power to
change those terrible things is in our hands. Allah made us khulafaa
over the earth. We have the ability to forgive, to understand, andto
comfort one another. I believe that compassion is the essence of who
we are.Is the best part of us, the quality that makes us worthy of the
mercy of Ar-Rahman. Our love is an elemental force, a vast untapped
potential. We only have to be who Allah created us to be. If we can
aspire to that, and hew to it, it will suffice us and the earth
itself."

"Do not become proud of your position. Do not become harsh toward
those weaker than yourself. And always speakof Allah's kindness to
you."- Ibn Isaq, "The Life of Muhammad"
Taqwa
"If we let Taqwa – Allah-consciousness – become our guide then it
leads us to self-awareness and sincerity. A person who cultivates
Taqwa can neverbecome a terrorist, an oppressor, a hypocrite. A person
with true Taqwa must shed compassion as the sun sheds light." - Wael
Abdelgawad
Changing the World
"Sometimes I want to ask God why He allows poverty, famine and
injustice in the world when He could do something about it; but I"m
afraid He might ask me the same question." - Anonymous
Allah
"People will love you for a short time but Allah will love you
forever. People will listen to you sometimes, but Allah will listen to
you all the time. People will forgive you sometimes, but Allah
forgives every time." - Anonymous

Nature
I gave my Salam to the mountain
And I drank from the mountain stream
And I walked upon its surface
And it all felt like a dream
And this mountain it is a Muslim
And I feel like he's my friend
And as I climbed on to his peak
I wished it would never end
- Hamza Robertson
The Heart
"Your heart is a mirror thatreflects the world. If it's clean, it will
see the world as it really is. If it's dirty and warped, it will see a
warped vision of the world." – Yasmin Mogahed

"When you get close to giving up take a step back,pray and come right
back to it. You just never know who you could be inspiring out there.
May Allah keep our faith strongand grant us the ability to turn back
to Him and to begrateful for that ability and many more…ameen ya Rabb.
This goes out to all those who inspire me."
