Dawud Wharnsby Ali quotes:

Allah made us all a different shade and colour. Nations and tribes recognize one another! 'Cause every single person is your sister and brother.

There are a lot of grown ups who, should be sent up to their rooms, and told they must stay there, until they learn they can play fair.

We must begin looking at each other as brothers and sisters...and not walking brochures. We must see each other's strengths and encourage those strengths....We must see each others weaknesses and be patient with those weaknesses... sometimes even look beyond what we see as "weaknesses" and move on with compassion and love and respect. That takes true faith.

Allah gave the Qur'an to a very special man, who passed it on to us, for the rest of all our days.

Dear God I've heard your name from teachers , family and friends, you made the universe and so will live on when it ends. Everyone I know admits they've never seen your face , they're not sure where you live and have no map to the place.

We love to live a simple life...we simply love the life we live though some would say its hard.

My programme, The Art of Creative Expression, empowers young people with tools to express themselves. We teach photography, art and drama, but it's not just the medium that's important, it's about what you are trying to say.

Words can never really help you say, what you want them to anyway. And words can never really help you see, what you really want to be.

If we can take the time to mute the noise we've build around ourselves the rhythm of the heartbeats and the purpose may be clear.

It has nothing to do with age, it's not our languages, religion, gender, coulour of our skin; It's a soul within a well, that echoes deep beneath the ego's shell. True life can't ever start, until we offer up our heart .

Truth is buried, deep inside of men, sweep away each day.

You could call me antisocial, I've called myself that sometimes too, but I just prefer to be alone, and that's nothing against you.

The foolish big boys who fight with their toys are so sadly silly.

Put all our pride away, always find a gentle word to say, you know we shouldn't be full of ourselves when we should be full of humility .

Only when I smell the earth upon my face, will I ever be free, to fly from this place.

But if we hide ourselves away, afraid to grow and learn, we might wake up in the flames of the ignorance that burns and we'll never be much more than only casualties of war in a struggle we can't win if we have no faith to begin. We've got to tip the lid and let some sunlight in.

If we can just be brave enough to be each others mirror, we may finally recognize the face of conscious that we fear.
