H&Q-32

1. I think the greatest comfort during times of hardship comes from the knowledge that He is watching over you, and that this too shall pass.

2. When you have friends, don’t expect your friends to fill your emptiness. When you get married, don’t expect your spouse to fulfill your every need. When you’re an activist, don’t put your hope in the results. When you’re in trouble don’t depend on yourself. Don’t depend on people. Depend on Allah.

3. If there is one recipe for unhappiness it is that: expectations.

4. Time of difficulty test our faith, our fortitude and our strenght. During these times, the level of our imaan (belief) becomes manifest.

5. Don’t despair if your heart has been through a lot of trauma. Sometimes that’s how beautiful hearts are remade: they are shattered first.

6. Loss; is the returning of what never actually belonged to us in the first place.

7. When you fall in love with a work of art, you’d die to meet the artist. I am a student of the galleries of Pacific sunsets, full moon rises on the ocean, the clouds from an airplane, autumn forests in Raleigh, first fallen snows.

And I’m dying to meet the artist.

8. We must also realize that nothing happens without a purpose. Nothing. Not even broken hearts. Not even pain. That broken heart and that pain are lessons and signs for us. They are warnings that something is wrong. They are warnings that we need to make a change. Just like the pain of being burned is what warns us to remove our hand from the fire, emotional pain warns us that we need to make an internal change. We need to detach. Pain is a form of forced detachment. Like the loved one who hurts you again and again and again, the more dunya (world) hurts us, the more we inevitably detach from it. The more we inevitably stop loving it.

9. If you seek Him, God can raise you up, and replace the darkness of the ocean, with the light of His Sun.

14. Accepting the decree of Allah and believing that whatever Allah has decided is ultimately the best. That’s why as Muslims we say, “Allah knows best!”.

15. Everything that you do becomes worship if it is done to please Allah.

16. No matter what problems you're going through, the solution for it lies with Allah. So turn towards Him, He will never let you down.
