“Angels, while carrying Allah’s Arsh, ask Allah to forgive us (40:7). Nothing we do is important enough to overlook praying for each other.”
-
“Allah praises الكاظمين الغيظ (the ones swallowing anger). Good people also get angry but suppress it like swallowing something quickly.”
-
“As a believer I should never forget that my need to give charity will always be far greater than the need of the one receiving my charity.”
-
“Quran emphasizes avoiding corrupt money making practices right after the ayaat of Ramadan. Let’s take that to heart as we celebrate Eid!”
-
“You can hate our prophet but our love for him keeps us from hating you. #muslimsrespond.”

“I have been trying to study the Quran for 15 years and even though I haven’t even scratched the surface, the joy of discovery from within its endless vaults only intensifies every day.”
-
“Sabr isn’t just patience, it’s also being able to remain consistent. For a student, the danger is those two things together: not being able to be consistent and also not being patient. From our weekly study of Surah Al-Kahf on Bayyinah TV, we learn that if remaining consistent and patient was a challenge for Musa (alayhis-salam), then it’s certainly a danger for you and me in our barriers to learning.”
-
“Everything in the Quran has value, even Firaun! He talks a lot in the Quran, doesn’t he? But what value can be extracted from such a horrible human being? You have to understand the genius of evil politicians and Firaun is from the best of them. You have to study how he operated because there are going to be plenty of politicians and dictators like him. If you understand Firaun, then you’ll understand how to navigate all of them.”

“A husband and a wife have a relationship with each other, with their own parents, and their own siblings. One of these relationships should not superimpose on another relationship and take you away from fulfilling its rights and responsibilities. #ThatsMessedUp”
-
“One problem I see more and more is the idea that the Sunnah is questionable and it was not protected and preserved as well as the Quran. When I became a student of the Quran over 15 years ago, one of the first lessons I could not escape is that the most powerful defense of the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the Quran itself. The only way someone can say they believe in the Quran but not the Sunnah is if they don’t study the Quran.”

“People look for ways to point out your flaws. Allah looks for ways to cover them up. #ThatsMessedUp.”

“… how important it is to have a comprehensive study of the life, mission, teachings and legacy of Jesus, Esa (alaihissalam). This study has significant ramifications on Muslim-Christian relations and can profoundly enhance the love and appreciation for this Messenger of Allah in the hearts of Muslims in particular. There are such startling parallels between his blessed mission and that of our own messenger SAW and it is high time that we produced something in depth consulting Islamic scholarly sources but also Christian and Roman records to paint a truly multidimensional picture.”
-
“Don’t put yourselves in front of Allah and His Messenger.” What that simply means is that, we need to make sure that our opinions and stance on issues are in submission to Allah and His Messenger salAllahu alayhi wa sallam. And it’s not just about actions; it’s our opinions, too. It’s about making important what Allah and His Messenger made important. If something is permissible, we can’t make it impermissible. And if Allah and His Messenger made something impermissible, then I can’t even THINK it’s okay (forget about acting on it). This is how we submit our hearts and our minds.”
-
“Every single success you experience is a combination of two things: your effort and Allah’s help. When you don’t put in enough effort, Allah does not give His barakah. And sometimes you might put in a lot of effort but you may not see the result you expected. That, also, is Allah’s barakah.”
-
“He (Shaithan) is extremely patient. He won’t get you in one shot. He’ll come at you and he’ll put a little bit and a little bit and a little bit until he destroys your character.”
