Islamic Quotes Quotes

“So often we experience things in life, and yet never see the connections between them. When we are given hardship, or feel pain, we often fail to consider that the experience may be the direct cause or result of another action or experience. Sometimes we fail to recognize the direct connection between the pain in our lives and our relationship with Allah SWT”

“I ran across an excerpt today (in English translation) of some dialogue/narration from the modern popular writer, Paulo Coelho in his book: Aleph.(Note: bracketed text is mine.)... 'I spoke to three scholars,' [the character says 'at last.'] ...two of them said that, after death, the [sic (misprint, fault of the publisher)] just go to Paradise. The third one, though, told me to consult some verses from the Koran. [end quote]' ...I can see that he's excited. [narrator]' ...Now I have many positive things to say about Coelho: He is respectable, inspiring as a man, a truth-seeker, and an appealing writer; but one should hesitate to call him a 'literary' writer based on this quote. A 'literary' author knows that a character's excitement should be 'shown' in his or her dialogue and not in the narrator's commentary on it. Advice for Coelho: Remove the 'I can see that he's excited' sentence and show his excitement in the phrasing of his quote.(Now, in defense of Coelho, I am firmly of the opinion, having myself written plenty of prose that is flawed, that a novelist should be forgiven for slipping here and there.)Lastly, it appears that a belief in reincarnation is of great interest to Mr. Coelho ... Just think! He is a man who has achieved, (as Leonard Cohen would call it), 'a remote human possibility.' He has won lots of fame and tons of money. And yet, how his preoccupation with reincarnation—none other than an interest in being born again as somebody else—suggests that he is not happy!”

“Words have power, which is why Imam Ali says, “Speak only when your words are more beautiful than the silence.” After all, everything in existence sprouted from the vibration of the divinely uttered word “Be! And it is” (36:82). So remember, your tongue is like a knife; it can either kill like the sword of a samurai or save like the scalpel of a surgeon.”

“God’s mercy is greater than your sins or circumstances. His compassionate love embraces the cactus parts of you that you swear no one could hug. His grace celebrates the parts of you that nobody claps for. God loved you before you were even created, before you even knew of Him. As the Qur’an says, “It is He who sent down tranquility into the hearts of the believers, that they may add faith to their faith for to Allah belong the forces of the heavens and the Earth and Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom” (48:4).”

“If money is the real solution to every problem, then why the hell wasn't our Prophet ﷺ a millionaire?

If money could truly fix every problem in our hearts, then why did our beloved Prophet ﷺ, peace be upon him, choose to live a simple and noble life instead of becoming rich like a millionaire?

This gentle wisdom teaches us that not every problem is meant to be solved by wealth, but by good character, strong faith, and a clear purpose in life.”

“क़ाला रसूलुल्लाह ﷺ :
“इन्नी उरीतु फ़ी मनामी, का-अन्ना बनी हकम इब्नि अबी अल-आस,
यनज़ूना अला मिनबरी, कमा तनज़ू अल-क़िरदह।”

मरवान के बंदर मिम्बर पर उछलते नज़र आए थे
जो देखा रसूल अल्लाह ने, किसी और ने देखा नहीं
ये दर्द था दिल में रसूले ख़ुदा के
देखा एक ख़्वाब, बाद उसके आप, मुस्कुराए नहीं
बाद उसके आप, मुस्कुराए नहीं

शाम से चली थी एक ज़ुल्म की आँधी
मदीने की फ़िज़ाओं पर ख़ौफ़ के बादल ठहर आए

हालात थे इस क़दर, गर्द में लिपटे हुए
गुज़रते लम्हे, आने वाले वक़्त को न पढ़ पाए

ये दर्द था दिल में रसूले ख़ुदा के
देखा एक ख़्वाब, बाद उसके आप, मुस्कुराए नहीं
बाद उसके आप, मुस्कुराए नहीं

फ़ी सनति थलासीन व सित्तीन लिल-हिज्रह”
फ़ी सनति थलासीन व सित्तीन लिल-हिज्रह”

न जाने क्यों तारीख़ ने कम लिखा वाक़िया-ए-हर्रा
ज़ुल्म से थर्रा रहा था मदीने का ज़र्रा ज़र्रा

कुछ ऐसे भी सच है, हम जिससे वाक़िफ़ हो पाए नहीं
देखा एक ख़्वाब, बाद उसके आप, मुस्कुराए नहीं

बहा ख़ून कर्बला मे, आलम ए इस्लाम को, सुर्ख़ कर गया
जो ज़िंदा था ज़मीर से, वो बैअत-ए-जबर से फिर गया

ज़ालिमों को, इश्क़-ए-अहल-ए-बैत गवारा न हुआ,
सो कुचलने को, आल-ए-रसूल की मोहब्बत,
एक लश्कर, मदीने की जानिब रवाना हुआ,

फिर से एक बार, कर्बला का मंज़र दोहराया गया,
नबी के शहर को ख़ून से नहलाया गया,

मासूम बेटियों के रुख़सार से हिजाब छीना गया.
पाक ख़ातूनों की हुरमत को भी लूटा गया

मिम्बरे रसूल पर बांधे गए ग़लीच घोड़े
मस्जिद ऐ नबवी की, अज़मत को टापों तले रौंदा गया ,

सहमे हुए थे, दर-ओ-दीवार शहर-ए-तय्यबा के,
मातम में डूबे हुए थे, घर अंसार के,
अज़ाँ भी रो के पढ़ी जाती थी, उन दिनों शायद,
नमाज़ों में भी छलक उठते थे, अश्क दर्द के ,

सदियों यह शहर इस ज़ख्म से उभरा नहीं,
देखा एक ख़्वाब, बाद उसके आप, मुस्कुराए नहीं,
बाद उसके आप मुस्कुराए नहीं ,

दो गवाह काफी होते हैं, जुर्म साबित करने को.
फिर भी लोग बेचैन हैं, उसे रज़ी अल्लाह कहने को,
कर्बला के बाद, यज़ीद के ख़िलाफ़,
कर्बला के बाद, यज़ीद के ख़िलाफ़,
तारीख मे ज़िंदा, दूसरा गवाह है वाक़िया-ए-हर्रा
ज़ुल्म से थर्रा रहा था मदीने का ज़र्रा ज़र्रा

मरवान के बंदर मिम्बर पर उछलते नज़र आए थे,
जो देखा रसूल अल्लाह ने, किसी और ने देखा नहीं
यह दर्द था दिल में रसूले ख़ुदा के,
देखा एक ख़्वाब, बाद उसके आप, मुस्कुराए नहीं
देखा एक ख़्वाब, बाद उसके आप, मुस्कुराए नहीं”

“Islamophobes, attention please:
For your information, around 30–40 million animals are slaughtered globally during Eid ul-Adha. Yet throughout the rest of the year, an estimated 1–3 trillion animals are slaughtered annually for:
• food production
• leather and clothing
• medicine and research
• cosmetics testing
• pet food
• industrial products
So don’t pretend your outrage is about animal welfare. Your selective criticism only exposes hatred and hypocrisy Nothing more.”

“हर शहर, हर गाँव, हर क़स्बे, हर सड़क पर नुमाइश होगी,
दीन और ईमान का जनाज़ा है, थोड़ा अदब से देखना।

रो-रो कर सुनाएँगे वो प्यास की दास्ताँ,
तुम शरबतों के गिलासों के संग तमाशा देखना।

मातम है, रंज है, फिर भी मेले सजे हैं जैसे जश्न हो,
जुलूसों की रौनक में शहादत का तमाशा देखना।

चाहत की हद है, लगाव की इन्तहा है,
निस्बत-ए-हुसैन को काग़ज़ और लकड़ी में देखना।

ताजियों की भीड़ में, शरीयत से खिलवाड़,
भूल,कर पैगाम ए हुसैन, बाज़ीगरों की बाज़ीगरी
तुम दुनिया की रंग-बिरंगी आँखों से देखना।

दीन और ईमान का जनाज़ा है,
थोड़ा अदब से देखना.”
― Mohammed Zaki Ansari, "Zaki's Gift Of Love"

“कुत्ते भी अपने बच्चों को अज़मत-ए-अहलेबैत बता देते हैं,
इस दर की अदब-शनासी का क़रीना सिखला देते हैं।
जो अपनी औलाद की तरबियत भी न कर सका शरीअत पर,
दरबारी मौलवी उसको भी रज़ियल्लाह बता देते हैं।”
