“There’s something amazing about this life. The very same worldly attribute that causes us pain is also what gives us relief: Nothing here lasts. What does that mean? It means that the breathtakingly beautiful rose in my vase will wither tomorrow. It means that my youth will neglect me. But it also means that the sadness I feel today will change tomorrow. My pain will die. My laughter won’t last forever but neither will my tears. We say this life isn’t perfect. And it isn’t. It isn’t perfectly good. But, it also isn’t perfectly bad, either.”
― Yasmin Mogahed

“سأصبر حتى يعجز الصبر عن صبري
سأصبر حتى ينظر الرحمن في أمري
سأصبر حتى يعلم الصبر
أني صبرت على شئٍ أمرّ من الصبر”
― علي بن أبي طالب

“When you have friends, don’t expect your friends to fill your emptiness. When you get married, don’t expect your spouse to fulfill your every need. When you’re an activist, don’t put your hope in the results. When you’re in trouble don’t depend on yourself. Don’t depend on people. Depend on Allah.”
― Yasmin Mogahed

“فَكَيْفَ لِي بِتَحْصِيلِ الشُّكْرِ، وَشُكْرِي إيَّاكَ يَفْتَقِرُ إلى شُكْر،
فَكُلَّما قُلْتُ: لَكَ الْحَمْدُ، وَجَبَ عَلَيَّ لِذلِكَ أَنْ أَقُولَ: لَكَ الْحَمْدُ.”
― Ali ibn Husayn Zayn al-Abidin
