Do not be a people without a will of your own saying: If others treat well you will also treat well and if they do wrong we will do wrong; but accustom yourselves to do good if people do good and do not do wrong if they do evil. ↗

The word 'jihad' has nowhere been used in the Qur'an to mean war in the sense of launching an offensive. It is used rather to mean 'struggle'. the action most consistently called for in the Qur'an is the exercise of patience. (p. 7-8) ↗

لهذا يثني الله - عز وجل - على الذين ينفقون أموالهم سرّاً وعلانية ، فإذا كان السر أصلح وأنفع للقلب وأخشع وأشد إنابة إلى الله أسرُّوا ، وإذا كان في الإعلان مصلحة للإسلام بظهور شرائعه ، وللمسلمين يقتدون بهذا الفاعل وهذا العامل أعلنوه . والمؤمن ينظر ما هو الأصلح ، كلما كان أصلح وأنفع في العبادة فهو أكمل وأفضل ↗

It is He Who sent down to thee, in truth, the Book (Quran), confirming what went before it; and He sent down the Law (of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus) before this, as a guide to mankind, and He sent down the criterion (Quran) (of judgment between right and wrong). - Holy Quran 3:3 ↗

Her Majesty's government is engaging not merely in Orwellian Newspeak but in self-defeating Orwellian Newspeak. The broader message it sends is that ours is a weak culture so unconfident and insecure that if you bomb us and kill us our first urge is to find a way to flatter and apologize to you. ↗

Kebaikan itu semuanya terhimpun dalam 4 perkara : percakapan, diam, pandangan dan gerak." Tiap-tiap percakapan yang tidak disertai dengan mengingati Allah adalah sia-sia. Tiap-tiap diam yang tidak disertai dengan mengingati Allah adalah leka. Tiap-tiap pandangan yang tidak disertai dengan pengambilan iktibar adalah lalai. Tiap-tiap gerak yang tidak disertai dengan penghambaan adalah kosong. ↗

Look at Ayatollah Khomeini's revolution and the slogans that they used: anti-imperialism; anti-colonialism; the struggle of the have-nots against the haves; the state monopoly over economy, which was very much patterned after the Soviet Union. All of these things did not come out of Islam. Islam is not that developed. ↗

I've been to Africa three times. All right? You can't bring Western reasoning into the culture. The same way you can't bring it into fundamental Islam. ↗

I think it's been hard for people to understand how Islam can be a good religion, and yet the Islamists are evil. Those of us who have had experience with Islam understand this, just as we understand the difference between snake handlers and people going to church on Sunday morning. ↗

The cause of the break with the tradition of antiquity was the rapid and unexpected advance of Islam. The result of this advance was the final separation of East from West, and the end of the Mediterranean unity. ↗
