Daily Notes #12

✔ Free of memory and hope/ without limit, abstract, almost future,/ a corpse is not a dead man: it is death... #Borges

✔ People need to chill. If you don't have a sense of humour, you can borrow mine.

✔ "Faith in God includes faith in His timing.
God might not meet your schedule, but He's always on time."

✔ True happiness consists not in the multitude of friends, but in their worth and choice

✔ Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back.

✔ Imam Malik ibn Anas: It is not the knowledge which should come to you, it is you who should come to the knowledge.

✔ It is a sin to be intolerant to those of other faiths and beliefs. A true believer is kind and compassionate to ALL.

✔ Imam Ali bin Abi Talib: O writer! An angel watches over all you write.
Make your writing meaningful for it ...

Your heart with repentance...
and your soul with Salah...
#Islam 󾁀

✔ “You must convince your heart that whatever Allah has decreed is most appropriate and most beneficial for you.” - Imām Ghazzali

✔ "No act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted."

✔ Infinite consequences for finite deeds. When we think about it that way, our actions are magnified in importance and significance.

✔ I really believe it's important to learn more about common misconceptions in Islām, and how to respond intellectually.

✔ People who are harsh in their dawah are not helping the people, and only hurting themselves.

✔ Your dawah approach should not always be the same. Were a physician to treat all his patients with the same medicine, most would become ill.

✔ You're alive but how long have you been living?

✔ Think about it. Dawah is to 'invite' others. Would you accept a harsh invitation to anything?

✔If we just empathized more with the people we interact with, this world would be a better place.

✔ Think about what we're doing when we invite others to what we believe to be the truth. We're inferring that what they believe is false.

✔ Just because someone doesn't have religious beliefs, doesn't mean they don't possess an ideology/worldview. Everyone does.
✔ That's inaccurate. So, you're claiming that no religious person has ever become an atheist or an agnostic and vice versa?
✔ People are always open to being persuaded whether they admit it or not. Repeating an outdated cliché doesn't make it true.
✔ If someone is persuaded despite what is written, then they won't fear what th don't believe to be true.
✔ My point is that people are persuaded by arguments (in general), and the proof is that people ARE persuaded all the time.
✔ You have to prove that no one has ever left religion for atheism or vice versa. I think you're missing my point.

✔ Be gentle in your approach. Being harsh with anything only causes destruction.

✔ When I was in university, this 'preacher' came to the campus, and called Islam a 'death cult'. Everyone hated him, including Christians.

✔ Be the reason people ultimately embrace Islam, not the reason they run away from it.

✔ Poverty is the worst form of violence.

✔ Nothing you seek relying on your Lord will ever be difficult, and nothing you seek relying on yourself will ever be easy.

✔ Sahl bin Abdullah: Nothing is harder on the ego than sincerity, for it gains nothing from it.:

✔ "God wants spiritual fruits, not religious nuts."

✔ "On average, it takes the human brain 0.5 seconds to regret saying something after being said."

✔ Yasmin Mogahed: This life scatters us into pieces that only Allah can join.:

✔ Hate falling for those short clips where you're asked to look for something, and then a scary face jumps out at you.

✔ #Islam may be the most talked about religion in the world, but it is also the most misunderstood.

✔ Make a history in your life, not just a story

✔ “You will be a beautiful person, as long as you see the beauty in others.” Good morning! Have a nice day, ladies ♥

✔ I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you Friedrich Nietzsche"

✔ When someone leaves you, don't be a fool and feel lonely inside but teach yourself how to be more independent, and rely on Allah.

✔ Allah has great things in store for you. It's up to you to read His signs
✔ When you step up & commit to changing yourself, Allah will change your situation & surroundings. Your world will change when you change.

✔ Choose your thoughts carefully.. you are a masterpiece of your life. ~ The Secret

✔ May Allāh forgive us, for we have SO much that needs forgiving. #ameen

✔ "Never lose sight of what means the most to you."

✔ "If your not going to become an Ālim, don't remain a Jāhil." @YasirQadhi #thinkaboutit

✔ You know a verse deeply affected you when you're still thinking about it the next day. #quran

✔ News is so sensationalized, biased, and stupid nowadays. Just report the facts. We (the people) don't need or want your skewed opinions.

✔ I'm a bit annoyed that news corps (again) waited to see if the shooter in Ottawa was 'Muslim' before classifying it as terrorism related.

✔ "Your gut feelings are usually accurate and correct. If you truly feel there's something, chances are there is."

✔ Wealth and status are indeed blessings. But when they cloud our judgement and hinder us from making the right decisions, we have failed.

✔ We are judged by what we finish, not by what we start.
