“Islamic principles may be evident or uncertain, as are pure scientific principles. The evident principles of the two classes will never conflict; that is, it is impossible for an established scientific fact to contradict an authentic Islamic principle. However, this may happen if one or both of them are uncertain. If one of them is uncertain, then it should be reinterpreted so as to remove the contradiction. If both are uncertain, then the uncertain Islamic principle should be given precedence over the uncertain scientific notion until the latter is proven.
“We are a nation of sinners, not a nation of angels, so be kind to the people because everyone is struggling with something.
“Do for others what you want Allah to do for you.
“My heart is too valuable to allow hatred and jealousy to rent a spot.
“We will be asked, “what did you love most in this world? What did you spend life doing? What did you run after? Will it last? The things that you chased, will they last? Will they help you, or will they hurt you when the illusion of this life has passed?
“Allah must be dearer than anything else to the slave, Allah must be more important than all else.
“If you ever find your heart shaking from any calamity, tell it: ‘Do not worry, Allah is with us.’ [9:40]
“God does not become weary of forgiving until the servant becomes weary of asking for forgiveness.
“If Allah created you for this world, He would have created you without death.
“When a bird is alive it eats ants, yet when it dies, the ants eats it. Circumstances can change at any time and the tables usually turn over a period of time. Do not oppress, despise or hurt anyone during your lifetime. You may be powerful today but remember, time is more powerful than you! Just like one tree makes a million match sticks, yet when the time comes, only a single match is needed to burn a million trees.
“If one of you leads salah (formal prayer), then let him make it easy on them (by making it quick), for there are among them those who are ill, weak, or old. And if one of you prays alone, then let him make it as lengthy as he wishes.
“And I have mentioned in other books and studies of mine: That statistics, planning and research before actions are all at the heart of Islam, for the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah upon him) was the first who ordered an organized census of those who had believed in him after his hijrah (migration) to al-Madinah. And the effects of planning can be seen in his life story in several scenes and situations.
“Sometimes many different rulings are narrated from Imam Ahmad regarding the same issue, and this is for no reason other than the fact that his rulings changed based on changes in situations and circumstances.
“Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned the verse: "Do not follow what you do not know" (Quran 17:36) as evidence for rejecting and prohibiting imitation, and he said: "Imitation is separate from knowledge, by the consensus of the people of knowledge." And in his I`laam al-Muwaqqi`een he stated more than eighty viewpoints toward proving imitation to be an invalid practice and countering the misconceptions of its supporters.
“And the sickness that many of those who have worked in the field of religion is this: They stayed on the surface and didn't dive to its depths, because they didn't have the necessary qualifications to swim in it and find its pearls. So appearances distracted them from the secrets and the purposes, and the branches took away their attention from the principles, and they presented the religion of Allah and the rules of its shariah as scattered groups without anything unifying them and without relating the rulings to purposes and end goals, and so the shariah ended up appearing on their tongues and pencils as if it was deficient at attaining what's beneficial to the creation. But the deficiency is not in the shariah, rather it is in their understanding.
