Children have a lesson adults should learn, to not be ashamed of failing, but to get up and try again. Most of us adults are so afraid, so cautious, so ‘safe’, and therefore so shrinking and rigid and afraid that it is why so many humans fail. Most middle-aged adults have resigned themselves to failure.

I’m for the truth, no matter who tells it. I’m for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I’m a human being first and foremost, and as such I’m for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.
Malcolm X

This made me laugh when I read it last night :) :D

“I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land - every color, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike - all snored in the same language.” - Malcolm X

All ate as One, and slept as One. Everything about the pilgrimage atmosphere accented the Oneness of Man under One God.

We collect secrets over the years, hide behind them, depend on them like aces up our sleeve. We think we have to protect the people we love from the truth; but the truth isn’t the poison, it’s the cure.

Best thing you can do is teach your kids not to be afraid. We try to live a good life, a clean life, but the secrets get in the way. Sure we can play dirty, use people’s mistake against them. But put all those secrets behind us, and the honest man comes out on top

Don’t talk about your strength in front of the handicap. Don’t talk about your happiness in front of someone who is sad. Don’t brag out your wealth in front of a poor man. Weigh the impact of what you say and be considerate to how others may feel.

In the ghettoes of the intellect idealistic theories, there are a lot of intolerant and racist people who do not realize that they are.
Tariq Ramadan, The Quest for Meaning
What matters is not what the other is, or what the other tells me, but what, in me, prevents me from seeing, hearing, understanding and recognizing the other for what he is. What the other reveals about my problems, my deafness and my blindness, is what matters.
Tariq Ramadan, The Quest for Meaning
Even with the powerful don’t try to attack them. Your power is in your softness, your power is in your peace, your power is where you are soft, peaceful, understanding but committed and courageous. Courage is not to be aggressive.
Tariq Ramadan
A believer is a reformer of him or herself and the society.
