“Allah guards the justice loving government, even if it is the government of non-Muslims, and destroys the tyrant government, even if it is the government of Muslims.”

Beautiful leaving (hajr), is to leave without harming, beautiful pardoning is to pardon without rebuking, and beautiful patience is to be patient without complaining.

A man will never fear something besides Allah unless it be due to a disease in his heart.

Don’t depend too much on anyone.

Among the principles of the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah lie the attitude of peace and purity of their heart and tongue towards the Sahaba(Companions) of the Prophet (saw).

Avoiding the temptation to sin and being patient upon that, is greater than being patient whilst being afflicted with trials.

The entire religion revolves around acknowledging the truth and then acting upon it.

Sins are like chains and locks preventing their perpetrator from roaming the vast garden of Tawheed and reaping the fruits of righteous actions.

Sins cause harm and repentance removes the cause.

Through patience and certainty, leadership in the religion is obtained.

A believer to another believer is like two hands, one washes the other (correcting each other).

In this world there is a paradise, whoever does not enter it will not enter the Paradise of the Hereafter.

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.

You know, when Republicans were in charge, we doubled the debt. But, now, our concern is the Democrats are in charge and they’re tripling the debt. So, really, our concern is that we want smaller government.

I don’t care if you’re a Republican or a Democrat, there is something profoundly un-American about using the brute force of government to bully someone.

One of the necessary accompaniments of capitalism in a democracy is political corruption.

Well, when I went off to college, the guys I used to hang with were pumping gas and voting Democrat. Today they’re still pumping gas and voting Democrat. Guess the Democrats didn’t do much for them.

Democracy is indispensable to socialism.

Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.

Let me put it this way: I think Republicans tend to keep the ball in play, Democrats go for broke.

I was asked for years about being a Republican, probably because most black people are Democrats. My mother heard it once and called me and said ‘Charles, Republicans are for the rich people.’ And I said, ‘Mom, I’m rich.’
