“One of the things we can do in the last 10 days is to “bring the night to life” (ihya al lail). We do this by prayer, dhikr (Remembrance) of Allah, and reading the Quran, getting closer to Allah’s Book…”

“It saddened my father – but never surprised him – to see how quickly his brothers and sisters in faith take offence and fight viciously amongst themselves over matters that mean nothing to God. But as he liked to say, “faith alone comes from God; religions come from man, and human nature does not easily adapt itself to the requirements of faith. The Prophet is reported to have said that, out of a herd of a hundred camels, you are lucky to find one good riding beast.” Read more….
Shaykh Hamza Yusuf:
“Muslims are constantly being accused of not condemning these types of attacks, even though I don’t have any control over what other people do, and they don’t represent me or my faith. Nobody associates all Seventh-day Adventists with David Koresh, who belonged to a splinter sect, or all of Judaism with Meir Kahane. But when these things happen, the whole religion of Islam is besmirched. We’re trapped in this constant cycle of: events, condemnation; events, condemnation. And then people still say, “Why don’t Muslims condemn these things?”
By Khalil Moya “If you described the full list of things a believing Muslim does in Ramadan, the average non-Muslim in the street would say that they couldn’t do it. It’s ‘Mission Impossible,’ but you and I know that with Faith and Taqwa, Allah makes the impossible possible…”

Imam Ali says: “The sin that makes you sad and repentant, is more liked by Allah than the good deed (years of pious personal prayer) which turns you arrogant.”

“As Ali was leaving the hospital, he found some very poor people waiting in the corridor. Ali pulled out his wallet and gave each one a $100 bill. In the 1960s, that was a lot of money. Ali thought nothing of it. He just gave the money and without waiting for thanks, he walked away. He never ignored the poor, the sick and the destitute. Ali must have known that he would find Allah there with them, just as the Hadith says…”

“Most of us hate to be asked, but Allah loves to be asked… Even Shaitaan pleaded with Allah for respite till Judgement Day, and Allah granted his plea.”
