Nouman Ali Khan quotes:

Every single success you experience is a combination of two things: your effort and Allah's help. When you don't put in enough effort, Allah does not give His barakah. And sometimes you might put in a lot of effort but you may not see the result you expected. That, also, is Allah's barakah.

How can you use a terrible word for anyone who has iman?

Islam didn't make it Haram for you to fall in love. It didn't forbid you from wanting someone. It only guides that love so it protects you, her, your families and especially saves you from humiliation on judgment day. If you love her so much, why are you ok with letting her engage in this questionable relationship knowing full well that she will have to answer Allah just like you will. You don't love her enough to save her from that?

Islam doesn't try to destroy cultures; it cleans them up. You can keep your language but get rid of your racist speech. You can keep your style of cooking, but get rid of alcohol. You can keep your cultural dresses, but keep your modesty on the highest level.

Islam is not about "we're better than you". Rather it is about "let me show you something that is better for you

It is not true that if we had true faith we would not be sad. Prophets (as), and righteous people experienced a great deal of sadness.

Sadness is one of the tests of life, just as happiness, and anger are tests.

Regain your humanity. Lower your gaze.

Our religion doesn't demand perfection but instead a manageable strive to better ourselves.

Parents test our patience more than anyone else...Being around them keeps you in check...that's what keeps you humbled.

People can put you down, and they will but Allah will never abandon you, so long as you don't.

So it could be grateful to Allah, grateful to your parents, grateful to your teachers, grateful for your health, grateful to friends. Grateful to anyone who's done anything for you. Grateful to your employer for giving you a job. Appreciative. Grateful is not just an act of saying Alhamdulilah. Grateful is an attitude, it's a lifestyle, it's a way of thinking. You're constantly grateful.

The real Da'wah to Islam is the character of a Muslim.

When your Islamic discourse with someone becomes a debate, that's when you know that you have to stop. The psychology of a debate is like a sports competition, and no one likes to lose. So even if you make a good point, the other person isn't going to congratulate you. They are thinking about revenge.

You can't change someone's behaviour, all you can do is remind them, and hope that Allah will change their heart.

You can't just pretend that the things you watch, and the things you hear, and the places you go will not have an impact on your character. They will.

You know how everyone felt like they were the favorite person of Rasulallah salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam? We need to bring that sunnah into our homes.

Before we try to change the world, let's bring balance in our homes.
