“وانظر إلى حال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم حين ضربه قومه فأدموه وهو يمسح الدم عن وجهه ويقول : «اللهم اغفر لقومي فإنهم لا يعلمون» فعلى الداعية أن يكون صابراً مُحتسباً”
“Semua orang yang ada dalam hidup kita, masing-masingnya, bahkan yang paling menyakiti kita diminta untuk ada disana agar cahaya kita dapat menerangi jalan mereka”
“الدين علاقة رأسية بين العبد وربه حولناها إلى علاقة أفقية بين المواطن وأخيه”
“I become more than ever convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of Hussein, the scrupulous regard for pledges, his intense devotion to his friends and followers and his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission. These and not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every obstacle.”
“واعلم أن الرجاء المحمود لا يكون إلا لمن عمل بطاعة الله ورجا ثوابها ، أو تاب من معصيته ورجا قبول توبته ، فأما الرجاء بلا عمل فهو غرور وتمن مذموم”
“والخوف من الله تعالى يكون محموداً ، ويكون غير محمود . فالمحمود ما كانت غايته أن يحول بينك وبين معصية الله بحيث يحملك على فعل الواجبات وترك المحرمات ، فإذا حصلت هذه الغاية سكن القلب واطمأن وغلب عليه الفرح بنعمة الله ، والرجاء لثوابه . وغير المحمود ما يحمل العبد على اليأس من روح الله والقنوط وحينئذ يتحسر العبد وينكمش وربما يتمادى في المعصية لقوة يأسه”
“لو كان للأديان بصمة لكان العدل بصمة الإسلام”
“Do not use your energy except for a cause more noble than yourself. Such a cause cannot be found except in Almighty God Himself: to preach the truth, to defend womanhood, to repel humiliation which your Creator has not imposed upon you, to help the oppressed. Anyone who uses his energy for the sake of the vanities of the world is like someone who exchanges gemstones for gravel. There is no nobility in anyone who lacks faith. The wise man knows that the only fitting price for his soul is a place in Paradise...”
“His readiness to undergo persecutions for his beliefs, the high moral character of the men who believed in him and looked up to him as leader, and the greatness of his ultimate achievement - all argue his fundamental integrity. To suppose Muhammad an impostor raises more problems than it solves. Moreover, none of the great figures of history is so poorly appreciated in the West as Muhammad”
“Islam itu indah. Islam itu cinta”
“He causes huge bodies like sun to proclaim His Majesty through His Names the All-Gracious, Great, reciting: O Glorious One, O Great One, O Mighty One , while tiny animate creatures like flies and fish proclaim His Mercy, reciting: O Gracious One, O Compassionate One, O Generous One”
“You only truly possess that which you cannot lose in a shipwreck.”
“If we rated greatness by the influence of the great, we will say Muhammad is the greatest of the great in history”
“You claim that the evidentiary miracle is present and available, namely, the Koran. You say: Whoever denies it, let him produce a similar one. Indeed, we shall produce a thousand similar, from the works of rhetoricians, eloquent speakers and valiant poets, which are more appropriately phrased and state the issues more succinctly. They convey the meaning better and their rhymed prose is in better meter. … By God what you say astonishes us! You are talking about a work which recounts ancient myths, and which at the same time is full of contradictions and does not contain any useful information or explanation. Then you say: Produce something like it ‽”
“لقد حدد رسول الإسلام الغاية الأولى من بعثته، والمنهاج المبين في دعوته بقوله إنما بعثت لأتمم مكارم الأخلاق”
“هنگامى كه فلان آخوند روى منبر براى اثبات ارج بى همتاى آيه هاى قرآن از فرويد و ماركس مدد مى جويد؛ هنگامى كه دموكراسى و اسلام دو كفه ى يك ترازو مى شوند؛ هنگامى كه نماز ورزش مى شود و طهارت نيز بهداشت و روزه به رژيم غذايى تقليل مى يابد، ما شمه اى از مبتذل ترين صورت هاى غربزدگى را مى بينيم.”
“The Islamic intellectual tradition has usually not seen a dichotomy between intellect and intuition but has created a hierarchy of knowledge and methods of attaining knowledge according to which degrees of both intellection and intuition become harmonized in an order encompassing all the means available to man to know, from sensual knowledge an reason to intellection and inner version or the knowledge of the heart.”
