I tell you in truth: all men are Prophets or else God does not exist.

We know the truth, not only by the reason, but also by the heart.

If I am judged for my work, many myths about me as an autocrat or otherwise would become clearer. I feel false propaganda will not last, and truth will ultimately prevail.

The word ‚Islam‘ means ‚peace.‘ The word ‚Muslim‘ means ‚one who surrenders to God.‘ But the press makes us seem like haters.

Knowledge is true opinion.

There’s no one thing that is true. They’re all true.

Most men are within a finger’s breadth of being mad.

Occasionally, some brother sings very earnestly through his nose, often disturbing those around him, but it does not matter how the voice sounds to the ears of man. What is important is how the heart sounds to the ears of God.

It is perfectly possible to live a very moral life without a belief in God, and I think it’s perfectly possible to live a life peppered with ill-doing and believe in God.

We were born to die and we die to live. As seedlings of God, we barely blossom on earth; we fully flower in heaven.

We learned about honesty and integrity – that the truth matters… that you don’t take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules… and success doesn’t count unless you earn it fair and square.

Men get to be a mixture of the charming mannerisms of the women they have known.

Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.

I believe if you keep your faith, you keep your trust, you keep the right attitude, if you’re grateful, you’ll see God open up new doors.

Glory be and praise to God. I didn’t do any of this. God did. I don’t have a recipe or a blueprint. I prayed for it, and my prayers are continuing to be answered.

When virtue is lost, benevolence appears, when benevolence is lost right conduct appears, when right conduct is lost, expedience appears. Expediency is the mere shadow of right and truth; it is the beginning of disorder.

Different men seek after happiness in different ways and by different means, and so make for themselves different modes of life and forms of government.

A remark generally hurts in proportion to its truth.

Man is an imperceptible atom always trying to become one with God.

Men are so simple and so much inclined to obey immediate needs that a deceiver will never lack victims for his deceptions.

All knowledge or form conception is evoked through the medium of the eye, either in response to disturbances directly received on the retina or to their fainter secondary effects and reverberations. Other sense organs can only call forth feelings which have no reality of existence and of which no conception can be formed.

God doesn’t love me any more or less because I had some work done on my face.

A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true.

I don’t spend that much time being introspective, believe it or not. All I know is that I grew up not questioning God because that’s how you are. God was there like the birds and the wind.

But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.

If men were angels, no government would be necessary.

It is only a man’s own fundamental thoughts that have truth and life in them. For it is these that he really and completely understands. To read the thoughts of others is like taking the remains of someone else’s meal, like putting on the discarded clothes of a stranger.

It has been discovered that all the world is made of the same atoms, that the stars are of the same stuff as ourselves. It then becomes a question of where our stuff came from.

Doubt is the incentive to truth and inquiry leads the way.

God’s first creature, which was light.
