“Sins cause harm and repentance removes the cause.”

The one who is [truly] imprisoned is the one whose heart is imprisoned from Allah and the captivated one is the one whose desires have enslaved him.

Make tawba not just for sins you’ve committed, but also for obligations you haven’t fulfilled.

Dhikr (remembrance of Allah) is to the heart as water is to a fish; see what happens to a fish when it is taken out of water.

When someone offends me, I think it’s a gift from Allah (god). He (Allah) is teaching me humility.

Imprisoned is he whose heart is imprisoned from Allâh. Captured is he who is captured by his desires.

Everyone experiences bouts of jealousy; but the dignified person conceals it, while the vulgar one acts upon it

A calamity that makes you turn to Allah is better for you then a blessing which makes you forget the remembrance of Allah

The sincere hearts and the pious supplications are soldiers which can never be defeated.

What can you do with me? My jannah is in my heart! If you take me to jail, I will make zikr of Allah. If you exile me out of my land, I will make takaffur. If you execute me, I would be a shaheed. What can you do with me? Because I am not limited to this dunya. I am living for al-akhira!

When people help one another in sin and transgression, they finish by hating each other.

What really counts are good endings, not flawed beginnings.

Contentment is the greatest door that one enters to Allah, it is the source of tranquility for the worshiper and paradise on earth. Whoever does not enter it will not enter the Paradise in the Hereafter.

The disease that knowledge brings is arrogance, and the disease that worship brings is showing off

What can my enemies do to me? My paradise is in my heart, it is with me wherever I go. To imprison me is to provide me with seclusion. To send me into exile is to send me away in the Path of Allah. And to kill me is to make me a martyr.

Guidance is not attained except with knowledge and correct direction is not attained except with patience.

If you do good in secret, Allah will shower His good on you in public.

I freely chose the kind of life I led because I was convinced that a woman has as much right as a man to live the way she does if she does no actual harm to society.

If someone were to harm my family or a friend or somebody I love, I would eat them. I might end up in jail for 500 years, but I would eat them.

It’s the truth I’m after, and the truth never harmed anyone. What harms us is to persist in self-deceit and ignorance.

If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.

To express oneself badly is not only faulty as far as the language goes, but does some harm to the soul.

Choose not to be harmed and you won’t feel harmed. Don’t feel harmed and you haven’t been.

When I see someone who just follows their dream and succeeds, and just does basically what they want to do and doesn’t have to answer to anyone, obviously not harming anyone, that’s great.

In love, no one can harm anyone else; we are each of us responsible for our own feelings and cannot blame someone else for what we feel.
