“If you study Islam with understanding, you’ll realize its scope—how open it is. It is not a faith subscribing to narrow-mindedness and meanness; there’s no place for these in Islam. It begins with I and moves on to we—from the individual to the community. Islam does not expect you to sit on a prayer mat all day, a cap on your head and a rosary in your hands, doing nothing but praying and preaching. In fact, it asks you to make your life an example of fair dealing, devotion, honesty and diligence. It asks for sincerity and steadfastness. A good Muslim convinces others not by his words but his deeds.”

“Imama: Accha mai ek arab likh deti to kya krte
Salar: To ek arab bhi de deta
Imama: Kahan se dete? Fraud krte?
Salar: Kyu krta? Kama kar deta
İmama: Sari umar kamate hi rehte fir ?
Salar: Accha hota sari umar tumhara karzdar rehta.”
― Umera Ahmed, Peer-e-Kamil/پیر کامل

“When I stared up at the jeweled sky, it was as if there were an
obstruction between my eyes and its beauty. The obstruction was a face,
just an unremarkable human face, but I couldn’t quite seem to banish it
from my mind.”
