you in the hard times." – WaelAbdelgawad

You are my brothers, my sisters, my heroes." – Wael Abdelgawad

sit alone with my favorite book (the Quran)! When Iturn 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 theuse 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." – WaelAbdelgawad
11
"Try to become an embodiment of compassion and mercy inyour daily
life. Do not wait for a situation to occur that will call out these
virtues in you. 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 intoaction 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

I accept!" – Hanan K. Bilal

"I believe in Allah because He believes in me… and in you too. He made
us Muslim, didn't He? That is a gift and a blessing. So believe in
Hisplan 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. God says "Call upon
Me and I will respond." Don'ttire 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 these emotions doesn't make you less of a believer. The

Abdelgawad

our family." – Hanan Bilal

and truth fearless;
Let our breasts be flooded with light -
Make our hearts clear as crystal.

"One of Allah's names is Al-Wadood, The Most Loving, and this is
appropriate because a Creator must have love inorder to create works
of beauty and power. Allah created you out of love. He created you
with intent. He created you to succeed, not to fail, and He gave you
all the tools that you need to thrive. Open your eyes and see what a
miracle you are, what a thing of beauty, what a gift to the world.
Isee that in every person I know. Do you see it in yourself?" – Wael

ask forgiveness, and make Him your goal.

"I asked Allah for strength and Allah gave me difficulties to make me
strong. I asked Allah for wisdom and Allah gave me problems to solve.
I asked Allah for courage and Allah gave me obstacles to overcome. I
asked Allah for love and Allah gave me troubled people to help. I
asked Allah for favors and Allah gave me opportunities. Maybe I
received nothing I wanted, but I received everything I needed –
Alhamdulillah." – Anonymous
29
"Forgiveness is not for the weak. Being able to forgive those who have
wronged you is a mark ofspiritual strength and confidence. When you
forgive, you grow, your heart begins to heal, your back straightens
up,your eyes clear so that you can see the road ahead. Anger is a
spiritual sickness; but when you forgive you live." – Wael Abdelgawad
30
"You are all my family. I know that you are human and imperfect. Some
are confused, somestruggling, some tired, needing a moment's
rest.Tired of the rain and needing the rainbow. I love you all
fee-sabeel-illah. Have no fear. Allah is with you and will not abandon
you for a single heartbeat. The rainbow is coming, or maybe it's
already here and all you need to do is look up. "
