  • "O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of male and female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know and cooperate with one another."

    - (Quran 49:13)

  • I am as My servant thinks I am. I am with him when he makes mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an assembly better than it. And if he draws near to Me an arm's length, I draw near to him a fathom's length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed.

    - Hadith Qudsi

  • Our revels now are ended. These our actors,

    As I foretold you, were all spirits and

    Are melted into air, into thin air:

    And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,

    The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,

    The solemn temples, the great globe itself,

    Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve

    And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,

    Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff

    As dreams are made on, and our little life

    Is rounded with a sleep.

    -- William Shakespeare

  • “The Islamic teachings have left great traditions for equitable and gentle dealings and behavior, and inspire people with nobility and tolerance. These are human teachings of the highest order and at the same time practicable. These teachings brought into existence a society in which hard-heartedness and collective oppression and injustice were the least as compared with all other societies preceding it….Islam is replete with gentleness, courtesy, and fraternity.”

    - H.G. Wells

  • “I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which can make itself appeal to every age. I have studied him - the wonderful man and in my opinion far from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Savior of Humanity.”

    - George Bernard Shaw

  • He made the Hereafter an abode to reward His believing servants only because this world cannot contain what He wishes to bestow upon them and because He deemed their worth too high to reward them in a world without permanence.

  • I will not

    dance to your war

    drum. I will

    not lend my soul nor

    my bones to your war

    drum. I will

    not dance to your

    beating. I know that beat.

    It is lifeless. I know

    intimately that skin

    you are hitting. It

    was alive once

    hunted stolen

    stretched. I will

    not dance to your drummed

    up war. I will not pop

    spin beak for you. I

    will not hate for you or

    even hate you. I will

    not kill for you. Especially

    I will not die

    for you. I will not mourn

    the dead with murder nor

    suicide. I will not side

    with you nor dance to bombs

    because everyone else is

    dancing. Everyone can be

    wrong. Life is a right not

    collateral or casual. I

    will not forget where

    I come from. I

    will craft my own drum. Gather my beloved

    near and our chanting

    will be dancing. Our

    humming will be drumming. I

    will not be played. I

    will not lend my name

    nor my rhythm to your

    beat. I will dance

    and resist and dance and

    persist and dance. This heartbeat is louder than

    death. Your war drum ain’t

    louder than this breath.
