Saying that Islam is in heart, is similar to giving back the exam's paper completely white and saying : knowledge is in brain.

Very often when I see people who are perceived to be, or who call themselves progressives, sometimes I see an imbalance. Yes I understand the courage in their mind but I don't see the spirituality in their heart, good you are questioning the limits, but what about yourself, are you also liberating yourself?

Proud to be a Muslim isn't a stamp you have on your heart, it's a light you have in your heart.

If you read the Qur'an with your head, you find repetition. If you read it with your heart, you find depth.

One does not always know how to express the sorrow of the soul. One does not always know how to silence the joy of the heart.

No one must ever let power or social, economic, or political interest turn him or her away from other human beings, from the attention they deserve and the respect they are entitled to. nothing must ever lead to a person to compromise this principle or faith in favor of a political strategy aimed at saving or protecting a community from some peril. The freely offered, sincere heart of a poor, powerless individual is worth a thousand times more in the sight of God than the assiduously courted, self-interested heart of a rich one.
