“How they succumbed to the same diseases,
which brought down the mighty Roman Empire.
The wrote all over al-Andalus "La-Ghaliba Illa'Llah"
{There is no vanquisher except Allah} but they
worshipped the mata'al-dunya {pleasure of the world}
and traded their souls for gold, glory, women and wine,
only to end like stray donkeys,
kicked around by the boots of Ferdinand and Isabella.”
― M. Kamal Hassan, Salam Kasih

“Do you know that those who preach pluralism and human rights,
cannot give those rights to the Din of Islam?
Those who preach democracy throughout the globe cannot give it to the Palestinians -
lest Israel should cry!”
― M. Kamal Hassan, Salam Kasih

“ayat-ayat suci adalah jeram yang dingin
mengalir dan menempuh hutan liar
hutan liar adalah diriku
ayat-ayat suci adalah jeram yang bening
aku bercermin membasuh hatiku

(Di Depan Rehal)”

“penawar
daripada
segala penawar
hanya hidayah
dan makrifat-Mu
menjadi penyembuh
kepada sekalian
penyakit

denyut zikrullah
berdetaklah di pembuluh
jantung hatiku.

(Jantung Hati)”
