Omar Suleiman quotes about
heart love-is people
One thing I've always struggled with in life is loving people too much. It's painful when that love is not reciprocated. But one thing I always comfort myself with is the fact that Allah will always show greater love to those who love Him. Allah doesn't disappoint you so keep your heart attached to Him.
dark opposites people
I tell people this over and over again: don't attach your faith to people. People will come and go. People will disappoint you. People will divulge dark secrets. People will turn out to be the opposite of what you thought. Allah is perfect. His Messenger (peace be upon him) is a perfect example, and the religion is a perfect methodology. Attach yourself to the principles instead of the people. That way no Shaykh going wild or role model going rogue will be able to shake your faith.
helping ifs
If you're not doing it for Allah, then don't expect any help from Allah.
dollars cost kind
Kind words cost you nothing but are sometimes worth more than a million dollars.
tests too-much complaining
If you complain that Allah is testing you too much, you're failing the test.
true-friend offending risk
Your true friends dont shy away from keeping you in check because your wellbeing is more important to them than even your friendship and they'd rather risk offending you than watch you harm yourself.
doe depends
Your success does not depend on the failure of others.
positive-thinking understanding trying
Positive thinking isn't ignoring life's problems, it's understanding that Allah can make a way out for you if you sincerely try.
humble people acting
Acting humble for people's praise is one of the most dangerous forms of riyaa (showing off).
wall school kids
Imagine if your kids had to carry a ladder to climb an apartheid wall to get to school everyday.
good-friend hard
Good friends are hard to find so when you find one, hold on tight!
giving bitterness sometimes
Sometimes Allah gives you bitterness in this life so that you can further enjoy the sweetness of the hereafter.
order giving people
In order to bring out the best in people, you need to give them your best.
punishment trials merciful
Allah is Most Merciful even when He sends us trials, for even His punishment is for our own good.
