Ne smijemo biti neodgovorni i egoistični, nikako, a posebno ne u prezentaciji Islama. Islam nije samo naš! On je univerzalna ljepota, poslata svakom čovjeku na zemlji.

Never assume that anyone in this world can really understand your circumstances other than from their own perspective. People perceive things based only upon their personal frames of reference and their personal experiences. However, when aims, purposes, and aspirations are similar, people tend to work together toward a common goal.

Nicht der Islam bildet die Ursache für die Krise der Türkei, sondern die gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen, die einen Diskurs über Reformen der Religion, ja überhaupt einen vorurteilslosen Gedankenaustausch erschweren.

No blasphemy harms Islam and Muslims so much as the call for murdering a writer

No idea is above scrutiny and no people are beneath dignity.

No,matter how sinful we are there is a way to repent.

None of you will have faith till he wishes for his (Muslim) brother what he likes for himself

No one speaks for God - not even the prophets (who speak about God)

Nor can one take an unfair attitude even towards enemies: "Let the enmity of a people[towards you] not determine you upon an unjust course; be fair, it is closer to taqwā. Quran

No Quran, no Bible, no Gita, no Cow, is greater than the human self.

Not all the young women recruited to holy war had their feet caned by the moral police. There were those who held the canes.

No text, being human creation, is free from flaws – it is the human mind that should be conscientious enough to accept their good elements and discard the bad ones.

Nothing happens without God’s will, and life doesn’t always go according to plan. Man proposes, God disposes. And it is God’s will that we need to surrender to. In retrospect it usually all makes sense.

Nothing—not even the US Army—more threatens the future of a democratic, pluralistic and (dare we wish, secular) Iraq than the political ascendancy of Islamic fascists like Al Sadr.

Obviously, al-Ghazali rejected the Mu‘tazilite position that there is no faith without reason, or that faith requires rational assent, since for him reason is “blind.

Now how does all this relate to Islamic jihad? Islam sees violence as a means of propagating the Muslim faith. Islam divides the world into two camps: the dar al-Islam (House of Submission) and the dar al-harb (House of War). The former are those lands which have been brought into submission to Islam; the latter are those nations which have not yet been brought into submission. This is how Islam actually views the world! By contrast, the conquest of Canaan represented God’s just judgement upon those peoples. The purpose was not at all to get them to convert to Judaism! War was not being used as an instrument of propagating the Jewish faith. Moreover, the slaughter of the Canaanites represented an unusual historical circumstance, not a regular means of behavior. The problem with Islam, then, is not that it has got the wrong moral theory; it’s that it has got the wrong God. If the Muslim thinks that our moral duties are constituted by God’s commands, then I agree with him. But Muslims and Christians differ radically over God’s nature. Muslims believe that God loves only Muslims. Allah has no love for unbelievers and sinners. Therefore, they can be killed indiscriminately. Moreover, in Islam God’s omnipotence trumps everything, even His own nature. He is therefore utterly arbitrary in His dealing with mankind.

O Allah, You know me better than I know myself, and I know myself better than these people who praise me. Make me better than what they think of me, and forgive those sins of mine of which they have no knowledge, and do not hold me responsible for what they say.

Of course I’d like to marry a practising Muslim, someone I can share my life and also my religion with, but I just haven’t met the right man yet,’ I told her. Fadwa was sympathetic and understood my dilemma. ‘Concentrate on your relationship with God; purify yourself, your life and your intentions. Better your religion!’ she recommended. ‘If you are patient and steadfast, then you will be rewarded, insha’ Allah.

Of course, a single verse of the Holy Qur'an or a hadith moves the faithful to good actions, but volumes of books would not move an unwilling person who is like an ass carrying a load of books.

Öfke ateşini söndürmenin yolu, Resulullah'ın örnekliğini tatbik etmekten geçer.

Oh Gott, mache meine schlechten Taten zu den schlechten Taten von jenen, die Du liebst. Und mache nicht meine guten Taten zu den guten Taten von jenen, mit denen Du unzufrieden bist.

O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allah , through whom you ask one another, and the wombs. Indeed Allah is ever, over you, an Observer. Quran The Women 4 :1

Oh Allah, bei Dir beklage ich mich über meine Schwäche, meine Mittellosigkeit und meiner Niedrigkeit in den Augen der Menschen. Oh, Du Barmherzigster aller Barmherzigen! Du bist der Herr der Schwachen und Du bist mein Herr. Wem willst Du mein Schicksal überlassen? Jemandem, der mich missbrauchen wird? Oder einem Feind, dem Du Macht über mich verliehen hast? Solange Du nicht verärgert bist über mich, interessiert es mich nicht, was mit mir geschieht. Deine Gunst ist alles, was für mich zählt. Ich suche Zuflucht im Lichte Deines Antlitzes, durch das jede Dunkelheit erleuchtet wird und die Angelegenheiten dieser Welt und der nächsten zurechtgerückt werden. Ich wünsche Dir zu gefallen bis Du zufrieden bist. Es gibt keine Kraft und keine Macht außer in Dir.

On August 10, 1984, my plane landed in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. There were no skyscrapers here. The blue domes of the mosques and the faded mountains were the only things rising above the adobe duvals (the houses). The mosques came alive in the evening with multivoiced wailing: the mullahs were calling the faithful to evening prayer. It was such an unusual spectacle that, in the beginning, I used to leave the barracks to listen – the same way that, in Russia, on spring nights, people go outside to listen to the nightingales sing. For me, a nineteen-year-old boy who had lived his whole life in Leningrad, everything about Kabul was exotic: enormous skies – uncommonly starry – occasionally punctured by the blazing lines of tracers. And spread out before you, the mysterious Asian capital where strange people were bustling about like ants on an anthill: bearded men, faces darkend by the sun, in solid-colored wide cotton trousers and long shirts. Their modern jackets, worn over those outfits, looked completely unnatural. And women, hidden under plain dull garments that covered them from head to toe: only their hands visible, holding bulging shopping bags, and their feet, in worn-out shoes or sneakers, sticking out from under the hems. And somewhere between this odd city and the deep black southern sky, the wailing, beautifully incomprehensible songs of the mullahs. The sounds didn't contradict each other, but rather, in a polyphonic echo, melted away among the narrow streets. The only thing missing was Scheherazade with her tales of A Thousand and One Arabian Nights ... A few days later I saw my first missile attack on Kabul. This country was at war.

Once you attain the state of Absolute Oneness or Non-Duality, you become one of those spiritual legends that humanity so gloriously venerates as the founding fathers of religion.

Once you emerge from the state of absolute divinity, the self within you becomes Christ – it becomes Buddha – it becomes Moses – it becomes Krishna. The sage who emerges from the state of non-duality begins to perceive the self as Christ, not Christ as Christ – the self as Moses, not Moses as Moses – the self as Mohammed, not Mohammed as Mohammed – the self as Krishna, not Krishna as Krishna.

One of the outstanding sources of resistance to imperial power in the Muslim world came from Sufi groups. While Sufi brotherhoods are generally known for a more quietist and mystic approach to Islam, they traditionally rank among the best organized and most coherent groupings in society. They constitute ready-made organizations - social-based NGOs, if you will - for maintaining Islamic culture and practices under periods of extreme oppression and for fomenting resistance and guerrilla warfare against foreign occupation. The history of Sufi participation in dozens of liberation struggles is long and widespread across Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Sufi groups were prominent in the anti-Soviet resistance, and later against the American in Afghanistan and against US occupation forces in Iraq.

One definition of success is achieving what your haters don't want you to achieve. Them wanting you not to achieve it means it's worth a lot.

One's interest or need does not annul other's right.

Only because of the strength of a coalition of European armies at the battle of Vienna in 1683 did Europe avoid Ottoman rule.

Only he who asks the question, will be able to hear the answer.

Öyle ya; kıtlık olmasaydı, Yusuf'u kuyuya atıp unutan kardeşleri ne Mısır'a varacaklardı ne kötülük ettikleri Yusuf'u kendilerine iyilik ederken bulacaklardı. Kıtlık, kardeşleri hem Yusuf'un yitik yüzüyle hem nefislerinin kötülüğü isteyen yüzüyle yüzleştirmişti. Kıtlık olmasaydı, biz de kardeşleri olarak, kötülüğe iyilikle karşılık verenlerden biri olarak bulamayacaktık Yusuf'u. Kıtlık, kötülüğe iyilikle karşılık vermenin kötülüğe kötülük yapmak olduğunu öğretti bize. Kriz olmasaydı, Yusuf'a tuzak kuran kardeşlerinin ayakları Mısır'da hazırlanmış tanelerinin tuzağına dolanmayacaktı, istiğfar ve af dileme yolları hep kapalı kalacaktı. Kriz, bizi "tuzak kuranların en hayırlısı" Rabb-i Rahîmimizle tanıştırdı. Kriz olmasaydı, Yusuf'u sözüm ona "kurda kaptıran" kardeşlerinin ne Yusuf'a "Şüphe yok, Allah seni bize üstün kıldı..." dedirten pişmanlığını, ne Yusuf'un kardeşlerine "Bugün size kınama yok..." deme âlicenaplığını zamanın perdesinde seyredebilecektik. Kriz, bizi af dilemek ve affetmek gibi zorlu yokuşlarda yeniden sınadı. Kriz olmasaydı, ne Yusuf'un zinadan kaçıp zindana razı oluşu -Züleyha'nın itirafıyla- açığa çıkacaktı, ne de Yusuf'un gömleği kardeşleriyle babasına gidip Yakub'un (as) gözleri açılacaktı. Kriz, hem iftira perdesini yırttı, hem umut penceresini açtı.

Orang Eropa mungkin tidak akan pernah tahu seberapa dalam aku menyesali bagaimana norma dan susila telah diberantas dan dikubur hidup-hidup di sini. Tapi di sisi lain, aku berdecak kagum pada mereka yang justru memegang nilai-nilai kehidupan yang islami terkait pentingnya waktu, kejujuran, integritas, kerja keras, kebersihan, dan tak cepat puas berprestasi.” (48)

Öte alemde mutluluğu, bu dünyada bilgeliği, hâl ve hareketinde doğruluğu, bütün ahlaki güzellikleri kendisinde toplamayı arzu eden kimse, Allah’ın elçisi Muhammed aleyhisselam’I taklit etmeli, elinden geldiğince onun ahlakını ve onun davranışını örnek almalıdır. Yüce Allah bunu arzu edene lütfuyla yardım etsin. Amin

Our creator is one. However you name him. Whatever you call him. He is the only one having 99 names...

Pada prinsipnya kita bersetuju bahawa pandangan manusia, dan oleh kerananya ilmu-ilmu yang dibangunkan olehnya, dalam bidang apapun tidak boleh dikultuskan dan dianggap absolut. Hanya ilmu Tuhan yang mutlak (absolute). Menyedari keterbatasan ilmu manusia ini maka kita harus bersifat terbuka dalam menerima kepelbagaian pandangan, dan pada tahap ini kita bersetuju dengan idea pluralisme. Namun apabila kita berbicara mengenai konteks yang lebih besar iaitu tentang kebenaran dan realiti, dan bukan sebatas kebenaran dan realiti yang ditayangkan oleh akal fikiran manusia semata, tetapi suatu yang ditayangkan oleh pandangan alam Islam maka kita harus berhati-hari kerana ia melibatkan bukan hanya ilmu manusia tetapi juga ilmu Tuhan yang telah disampaikan kepada manusia melalui para nabi dan rasulNya. Oleh kerana itu dalam konteks Islam tiada pluralisme agama kerana di sini kita berbicara tentang wahyu dan makna-makna yang dibangun oleh al-Qur’an itu sendiri, dan bukan semata-mata hasil budaya dan produk sejarah manusia.

Past and future are the same, and we cannot change either, only know them more fully. My journey to the past had changed nothing, but what I had learned had changed everything, and I understood that it could not have been otherwise. If our lives are tales that Allah tells, then we are the audience as well as the players, and it is by living these tales that we receive their lessons.

Penekanan al-Quran terhadap hubungan intim antara epistemologi dan aksiologi dan kerohanian bukan bertujuan untuk merubah keobjektifan data dan fakta yang telah disahkan dengan betul. Sebaliknya ia bertujuan untuk memberi petunjuk yang sempurna, hikmah dan makna berhubung pelbagai dimensi usaha-usaha epistemologi. Justeru itu konsep ilmu dalam Islam mempunyai tujuan, yang ekoran daripadanya pula sejajar secara idealnya dengan keperluan-keperluan weltanshauungnya. Pendapat kesemua sarjana Islam adalah tepat bahawa tujuan utama ilmu adalah untuk mengenali Allah. Walaupun mereka berselisih tentang darjah-darjah ilmu ini.

People belittle or ignore or even rebel against God, because they view the processes of nature as having self-sufficient causes, normally regarded by them as ultimate. They do not realize that the universe is a sign pointing to something "beyond" itself, something without which the universe, with all its natural causes, would be and could be nothing.

On the ethics of war the Quran and the New Testament are worlds apart. Whereas Jesus tells us to turn the other cheek, the Quran tells us, 'Whoso commits aggression against you, do you commit aggression against him' (2:194). The New Testament says nothing about how to wage war. The Quran, by contrast, is filled with just-war precepts. Here war is allowed in self-defense (2:190; 22:39), but hell is the punishment for killing other Muslims (4:93), and the execution of prisoners of war is explicitly condemned (47:4). Whether in the abstract is is better to rely on a scripture that regulates war or a scripture that hopes war away is an open question, but no Muslim-majority country has yet dropped an atomic bomb in war.

Our body is like a cage & heart is the bird in it " during Paryer the bird(heart) must not be wandering here & there.

Over a billion people believe in Allah without truly knowing what Allah supposedly stands for or what he really demands of them. And the minority that do understand continue to be Moslems because they have redefined their morality and ethics to fit within the teachings of Islam, which are floridly lacking in morality. They therefore redefine what is good and evil in order to fit their lives into what is preached by Islam, instead of examining Islam to see if it fits within the good life. Backwards thinking, imposed by a backward religion.

O Woman - Allah has made you the Queen of Piety and Modesty, Don't belittle yourself to be the slave of unlawful admiration and mortal fame & fortune.

Peki, biz şimdi ne yapacağız? Biz ne zaman uyanacağız, ey insanlar ey müslümanlar? Ne zaman birlik olup bunların hepsini topraklarımızdan kovacağız? Merhamet ve haysiyet sahibi herkesi yerinden sıçratacak böyle bir felaket döneminde, göz kapaklarımız nasıl bu kadar uzun kapanabiliyor? Zillet ve gaflet giysisi nasıl oluyor da bu kadar çok müşteri bulabiliyor? Bazı kardaşlarımız şimdi ancak küheylanların sırtında ya da akbabaların karnında uyuyabiliyor. Frenkler, dört bir yanımızda boyunlarımıza ve boyunlarımıza indirilmeye hazır kılıçlarıyla bekliyor. Peygamberimizin ve güzide arkadaşlarının şehirlerimizdeki mirası, hatıraları, hürmetleri kirletilip çiğneniyor. Kadınlarımıza tecavüz ediliyor ve gençlerimiz esir alınıp köle pazarlarında satılıyor. Bu müşrikler, dehşet saçıcı bir tufan halinde hiç durmadan buraya gelmeye devam ediyor. Frenk diyarından ard arda yollara düşen dağ gibi orduları görenler kaçıp saklanıyor. Onlarla dövüşmeye çalışanların bir kısmı, kendi kardaşlarının ihmali ve ihaneti yüzünden imha ediliyor, bir kısmı da rüşvetle ele geçiriliyor. Ey Allah'a iman ettiğini söyleyen insanlar! Allah aşkına düşünün! Kadınlarımızı, çocuklarımızı, yaşlılarımızı çaresizlerimizi koruma konusunda Allah'a ve İslama karşı bir vecibemiz yok mudur? Bunun çok ağır bir vebali, çetin ve kaçınılmaz bir hesabı yok mudur? Bu hâlimiz, ahireti yalanlamaktan başka bir şey midir? Cihad, sadece bir avuç maaşlı askerin işi midir? Müslumanlar arasinda, bir arzuyu tatmin etmek, şöhret kazanmak ya da ganimete sahip olmak için değil; aynı sahabenin cenk ettiği gibi Allah rızası ve cennete girme umuduyla savaşacak kimsr kalmamış mıdır? Siz Allah'a, Allah'ın dinine yardım ettiğinizde Allah da sizi yüzüstü bırakmaz! Siz O'nun yolunda sebatla durduğunuzda Allah da sizi terk etmez, elini üzerinizden çekmez. Öyleyse bu kayıtsızlık nedir? Allah aşkına söyleyin, bu ölüm ve zillet uykusu ne zaman sona erecektir?..

People accuse me of having interiorized a feeling of racial inferiority, so that I attack my own culture out of self-hatred, because I want to be white. This is a tiresome argument. Tell me, is freedom then only for white people? Is it self-love to adhere to my ancestors' traditions and mutilate my daughters? To agree to be humiliated and powerless? To watch passively as my countrymen abuse women and slaughter each other in pointless disputes? When I came to a new culture, where I saw for the first time that human relations could be different, would it have been self-love to see that as a foreign cult, which Muslims are forbidden to practice?

People call you extremist when you are spreading Islam but always remember that you are not..they are extremist because they are endangering there own life with there own hands.

People say to you, 'you've changed', or something like that. Well, I hope, for the sake of God, that I have changed, because I don't want to be the same person all my life. I want to be growing, I want to be expanding. I want to be changing. Because animate things change, inanimate things don't change. Dead things don't change. And the heart should be alive, it should be changing, it should be moving, it should be growing and its knowledge should be expanding.

Peri watak dirinya menyata seribu cerita budi pekertinya yang mulia. Katakan apa saja yang boleh dikaitkan dengan sifat budiman maka akan mengenai diri wataknya jua.

People have been fighting and dying over religion for thousands of years. I could understand that fear. It creeps up on you a bit more when you’re alone in a foreign land. You certainly worry about it more when you walk the same streets as violent people that harbor a clear hatred of your beliefs and values. The reality is some Muslims in the world would kill me for being Christian, just as some Christians in the world would kill Maya, Gita, Farid and Ridwan for being Muslim. Nowadays news outlets and social media have reified that fear. It keeps some people focused and aware. It paralyzes others. It blinds some of us. That’s what happened to me. It’s why I felt the whole world shake. Twice.

Philosophy is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat. Metaphysics is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat that isn't there. Theology is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat that isn't there, and shouting "I found it!" Science is like being in a dark room looking for a black cat while using a flashlight.
