“Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth.”

“إن أي تلاعب بالناس حتى ولو كان في مصلحتهم هو أمر لاإنساني، أن تفكر بالنيابة عنهم وأن تحررهم من مسئولياتهم والتزاماتهم هو أيضًا لاإنساني. إن نسبة الإنسانية إلينا تجعلنا ملتزمين. فعندما وهـب الله الحرية للإنـسان وأنذره بالـعقاب الشـديد، أكد ـ على أعلى مستوى ـ قيمة الإنسان كإنسان . إن علينا أن نتبع المثل الأعلى الذي وضعه الله لنا: لندع الإنسان يجاهد بنفسه بدلاً من أن نقوم بعمله نيابة عنه”

“You see, Islam is the only religion that gives both husband and wife a true understanding of what love is. The Western “love” concept, you take it apart, it really is lust. But love transcends just the physical. Love is disposition, behaviour, attitude, thoughts, likes, dislikes - these things make a beautiful woman, a beautiful wife. This is the beauty that never fades. You find in your Western civilisation that when a man’s wife’s physical beauty fails, she loses her attraction. But Islam teaches us to look into the woman, and teaches her to look into us.”

“Despite my firm convictions, I have been always a man who tries to face facts, and to accept the reality of life as new experience and new knowledge unfolds it. I have always kept an open mind, which is necessary to the flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of intelligent search for truth.”
