“الواضخ ان المصالح الاقتصادية ومصالح الطبقات الغنيه وجهت مواقف الفقهاء في مسالة الاسترقاق , ولا تغرننا الشعارات الي ترفع في هذا الصدد من قبيل ان الاسلام قد حرر العبيد واستحضار القول المنسوب الى عمر : متى استعبدتم الناس وقد ولدتهم امهاتهم احرارا
فقد بقي ذلك على مر تاريخ الفقه الاسلامي امرا نظريا اما الناحية العمليه فتختلف اختلافا تاما”
― نادر حمامي, إسلام الفقهاء

“If God wants something from me, he would tell me. He wouldn't leave someone else to do this, as if an infinite being were short on time. And he would certainly not leave fallible, sinful humans to deliver an endless plethora of confused and contradictory messages. God would deliver the message himself, directly, to each and every one of us, and with such clarity as the most brilliant being in the universe could accomplish. We would all hear him out and shout "Eureka!" So obvious and well-demonstrated would his message be. It would be spoken to each of us in exactly those terms we would understand. And we would all agree on what that message was.”

“Man is only a reed, the weakest in nature, but he is a thinking reed. There is no need for the whole universe to take up arms to crush him: a vapour, a drop of water is enough to kill him. but even if the universe were to crush him, man would still be nobler than his slayer, because he knows that he is dying and the advantage the universe has over him. The universe knows none of this.”
― Blaise Pascal, Pensées

“There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.”
