"A humble person is not someone who thinks he’s nothing. A humble person knows he’s something, but he recognises God as the source of his greatness. Thinking one is something without recognising God as the source leads to arrogance."

"We may dislike the trials God has given us. Though pious people have been reminding us that those trials only exist to make us stronger or to shape us into being a better person, some of us tend not to see the link. Alhamdulillah, a Muslim guy told me this: “Like a kid who hates medicines though the medicines are really what his body needs, the trials God give us are only here because they are what we really need to be a better person.""

"Watch your tongue; Words can cut deeper than a knife, and their memory lingers longer than a scab.The intelligent person’s tongue is behind his heart: when he wants to speak, he thinks first. The ignorant person’s heart is behind his tongue: when he wants to think, he speaks first."
-Hassan Al-Basri

"To all those broken or hopeless, I have learned this: Be grateful for every single person who was part of your story. The ones that hurt you. The ones that helped you. The ones that came, and the ones that left. They all taught you. Don’t think for a moment that any of it was random. There are no oversights with God. Only perfectly crafted chapters in each unique journey."
-Yasmin Mogahed
