Islamic Quotes Quotes

“We are all born with spiritual wings, Islam simply reminds us how to fly.”
― A. Helwa, Secrets of Divine Love: A Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Islam

“The worst thing we can do is think that something we’re feeling is so wrong and horrible that we isolate ourselves from God, thinking we’re not worthy of being in His presence. We must remember that Allah doesn’t expect us to be perfect; after all, our sense of self-worth is not dependent on us, but on God. When we bring our poverty, our neediness, and our nothingness to God, He meets us with His generosity (Al-Karim), His ability to satisfy all needs (As-Samad), and His richness (Al-Ghaniy). Just as if you want light in your room you must open the blinds, if you want the shadows and dark places in your being to dissolve, you have to open your heart to the light of Allah. In essence, all of existence is just a reflection of the light of God’s grace manifesting into different forms.”
― A. Helwa, Secrets of Divine Love: A Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Islam

“As long as your heart is beating, you have a purpose. God is intentional, so He does not keep anyone on Earth that doesn’t have to be here; if we are blessed with more life, it is because someone in the world needs us. If we are alive, it means that what we were sent to this Earth to create has not yet been accomplished.”
― A. Helwa, Secrets of Divine Love: A Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Islam

“Mystics throughout time have said that they believe in God like they believe in light, not because they can see light, but because through it they see everything else.”
― A. Helwa, Secrets of Divine Love: A Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Islam

“In Arabic, the word fitna, meaning “hardship,” stems from the word fatanah, which means “to test gold, burn with fire.” Just as gold is heated to extract valuable elements from the useless surrounding material, it is through the fire of our trials that our golden essence is unearthed.”
― A. Helwa, Secrets of Divine Love: A Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Islam

“পৃথিবীর শুরু থেকেই হক-বাতিলের লড়াই চলে আসছে। বাতিল তার রঙ পালটায়, ঢঙ বদলায়, খোলস পরিবর্তন করে। কিন্তু হকবিরোধী কর্মপ্রয়াস বদলায় না।”
― মুহাম্মাদ আতীক উল্লাহ, আই লাভ কুরঅান

“As a man of deep faith, Muhammad embraced and taught a theocentric understanding of leadership; that is, he believed that ultimately God chooses and puts in place all leaders, regardless of the specific procedure of a person’s appointment to a leadership role within a community or army.”
― Joel Hayward, The Leadership of Muhammad: A Historical Reconstruction

“Even on social and cultural matters Muhammad liked to engage with people and hear views, routinely publicly praising the view of the person who initiated the discussion or whose opinion eventually prevailed, even if it had differed from his own. He delighted in good ideas, and made sure everyone knew who had advanced them, without claiming them as his own. He believed that credit should go to whom it was due.”
― Joel Hayward, The Leadership of Muhammad: A Historical Reconstruction

“Just as clouds cannot affect the presence and power of the sun’s light, but can alter our experience of the intensity of the light, sin can veil our perception of our inner goodness, but it cannot change it.”
― A. Helwa, Secrets of Divine Love: A Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Islam

“Muhammad was gentle and flexible when he recognized sometimes that a greater good might be accomplished by releasing someone from a vow. When a young man happened to tell him that his pledge to emigrate with him (presumably to Medina) had made his parents cry, he humanely said: “Go back to them, and make them smile just as you had made them weep.”
― Joel Hayward, The Leadership of Muhammad: A Historical Reconstruction

“Some linguists say that the word Allah is based on the word waliha, which translates to a love that is so passionate and ecstatic that it completely transcends the senses. This implies that to know God we have to surrender our minds, everything we are, and everything we know in exchange for love, because self-surrender to divine love is the only path to God.”
― A. Helwa, Secrets of Divine Love: A Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Islam

“The prophets are like different rivers throughout time that all pointed to the same ocean of unity.”

“لو احتفظ المسلمون برباطة جأشهم، وقبلوا التقدم كوسائل لا غايات، لن يستعيدوا فقط حريتهم الداخلية، بل ربما ينقلون للمواطن الغربي السر المفقود لحلاوة الحياة”

“A true seeker after God is like a fish sacrificed by the hand of God and its water is the love of God.”
― Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, The Philosophy of the Teachings of Islam

“When we remember who God is, when we praise and magnify Him, when we come needy and desperate for His forgiveness, we actualize who we truly are beneath the weight of our sins. Repentance is letting go of our baggage, because we understand that by Allah’s mercy we are not defined by our past. As the mystics say, “The ocean refuses no river,” so how could an infinitely merciful God refuse any sinner? We are not worthy of God’s forgiveness because of our repentance, but because God’s mercy embraces all things, including our sin. This is why the mystics cleverly repent to Allah by saying: “Oh Allah, plead on my behalf with Yourself, do what is worthy of You, not worthy of me!”
― A. Helwa, Secrets of Divine Love: A Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Islam

“Islam is not a path about obtaining God’s love; it is a path that teaches you to strive, persevere, and unveil what you have already been given. Islam is not just a series of practices and actions; it is a light that helps grow the seeds of our most authentic selves. Islam is not merely outward obedience to Divine Law; it is a cultivation of inner faith. It is not only about celebrating what is right and standing up against what is wrong; it is about bringing mercy, beauty, and excellence to our words, thoughts, actions, and deeds. Islam is the path of showing you how to become who you already are.”
― A. Helwa, Secrets of Divine Love: A Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Islam

― Holy Qur’an 3:134

“Some people have the disease of criticising all the time. They forget the good about others and only mention their faults. They are like flies that avoid the good and pure places and land on the bad and wounds. This is because of the evil within the self and the spoiled nature”
― Ibn E Taymiyyah

“Everything is, in reality, good, or in itself good, or good in respect of its results. And this goodness looks to general dominicality, all-embracing mercy, and universal manifestation.”

“Each person's every joint must perform a charity every day the sun comes up: to act justly between two people is a charity; to help a man with his mount, lifting him onto it or hoisting up his belongings onto it is a charity: a good word is a charity, every step you take to prayers is a charity and removing a harmful thing from the road is a charity.”
― Muḥammad ibn ʿAbdullāh

“Ke mana perginya rasa nikmat, Kerana belum sempurna taat, Ke mana hilangnya hidup berkat, Kerana belum tinggalkan maksiat”

“Rezeki yang berkat, sedikitnya cukup dan banyaknya boleh diagihkan. Ia harta yang memberikan ketenangan. Sebaliknya harta yang tidak berkat, sedikitnya tidak cukup, dan banyaknya tetap tidak memuaskan hati. Ibarat meminum air laut, semakin minum, makin bertambah haus.”
― Pahrol Mohamad Juoi, Rehatkan Hati Dengan Solat
