Never argue with a six-year-old who shaves.

There are some people who could hear you speak a thousand words, and still not understand you. . . And there are others who will understand - without you even speaking a word.
I am always shocked to discover how many people believe that hardships are a punishment from God! When people face tests or see others facing tests, they assume Allah must be angry with them. SubhannAllah! Remember which people were tested the most: The Prophets! And they were the closest to Allah. Every hardship is good for you-if it brings you closer to Him!
Do you ever wonder why often you can't have the things you want most? Perhaps if you got them in this life, they would distract you from Him. Perhaps He withholds some things that you love in this life to keep your heart from being distracted. . . and then gives those things to you in the next. Forever.
Allah manages everything in the heavens and earth—the sun, the moon, the stars—with perfection, and yet we don’t trust Him to manage our lives!
It is in that which you love the most that you find the greatest tests.

My feelings of disgust had been so loud within me, they’d nearly drowned out everything else.
