"Islam began as something strange, and it will revert to being strange as it was in the beginning; so give glad tidings to the strangers." - Prophet Muhammed (SWH)
"When I saw groups of Chechens wearing headbands with 'La ilaha illalah...' (There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger) written on them, and shouting takbeers (Allahu-Akbar), I decided that there was a Jihad going on in Chechnya and I must go there." - Ibn Ul Khattab
"The main thing that prevents all of us from coming to Jihad is our families. All of us who came here, came without our family's permission. If we had listened to our families and gone back home, who would carry on this work that we are doing? Every time I telephone my mother, even now she asks me to come home, even though I have not seen her for the last 12 years. If I was to go back to visit my mother, who would continue this work?" - Ibn Ul Khattab
"Never have I witnessed such sincere hospitality and overwhelming spirit of true brotherhood as is practiced by people of all colors and races here in this ancient Holy Land, the home of Abraham, Muhammad and all the other Prophets of the Holy Scriptures. For the past week, I have been utterly speechless and spellbound by the graciousness I see displayed all around me by people of all colors" - Al-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz – Malcolm X
"There were tens of thousands of pilgrims, from all over the world. They were of all colors, from blue-eyed blonds to black-skinned Africans. But we were all participating in the same ritual, displaying a spirit of unity and brotherhood that my experiences in America had led me to believe never could exist between the white and non-white" - Al-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz – Malcolm X
"America needs to understand Islam, because this is the one religion that erases from its society the race problem. Throughout my travels in the Muslim world, I have met, talked to, and even eaten with people who in America would have been considered white – but the white attitude was removed from their minds by the religion of Islam. I have never before seen sincere and true brotherhood practiced by all colors together, irrespective of their colour." - Al-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz – Malcolm X

"Lo! the Hour is surely coming, there is no doubt thereof; yet most of mankind believe not." (Al-Ghafir:59)
Ma sha Allah- lots of wisdom and inspiration- good stuff!
So here are some of mine:
"When my heart became constricted and my paths became narrow
I took my hope in Your pardon and forgiveness as an opening and
an escape
My sins seemed very great to me but when I compared them to
Your forgiveness
I found Your forgiveness to be greater"
- Imam Shafi' (rahimullah)
^ Sounds more beautiful in arabic (especially since it rhymes)!
"He whose sin is due to desires, then have hope for him. And he whose sin is due to pride, then fear for
him - because Nabi Adam disobeyed due to desire and was
forgiven, and Iblis sinned due to pride and was
cursed."
-Sufyan ibn Uyainah
The believer regards his sin as if he were sitting beneath a mountain
which he fears may fall on him, whereas the sinner regards his sin as if a fly lands on his nose and he swipes it away.”
1) Here is the test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: If you're alive, it isn't.
2) Each time you are honest and conduct yourself with honesty, a success force will drive you toward greater succcess. Each time you lie, even with a little white lie, there are stronger forces pushing you toward failure. :applaud:
3) The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
4) Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harms we do, we do to our selves. :applaud:
5) Fear less, Hope more; Whine less, Breathe more; Talk less, Say more; Hate less, Love more; And all good things are yours.

These quotes are absoloutely beautiful, mash'Allah. We could compile books and books of beautiful quotes made by the Ulema of Islam. Insha'Allah I'll post here whenever I come across amazing quotes.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Surely I was sent to perfect the qualities of righteous character" [Musnad Ahmad, Muwatta Mâlik]
Happy is he who looks at his own deeds and appoints them as pleaders to his lord.
None can show better gratitude for Allah's favors than he who shares them with others.
Do not envy people for what they have, as they will only enjoy it for a short while.
He who indulges in excess will not benefit from it.
The real joy of life is to have wisdom.
:rose:This beauty that I have is just a simple part of me.This body that I have, no stranger has a right to see.These long clothes and this shawl I wear, ensure my modesty.Faith is far less fickle than fashion. Wouldn’t you agree?
Here are some more qoutes that i like!! ~lol~
But they are very true!!
"We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us."
"Live as if your were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."
"The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it."
"Live every day as if it were your last, because one of these days, it will be."
"He who angers you conquers you."
"Never look down on anybody unless you helping him up."

I began revolution with 82 men. If I had to do it again, I do it with 10 or 15 and absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and plan of action. - Fidel Castro
The root meaning of Taqwa is to avoid what one dislikes. It was reported that Umar bin Al-Khattab asked Ubayy bin Ka`b about Taqwa. Ubayy said, "Have you ever walked on a path that has thorns on it'' `Umar said, "Yes." Ubayy said, "What did you do then" He said, "I rolled up my sleeves and struggled." Ubayy said, "That is Taqwa."
A man lost his way in the desert, and wandered aimlessly for several days. He ran out of food, and thought he would die. Then he saw a bag lying in the sand. He opened it, and at first he thought it was filled with grains of barley. He was overjoyed. But when he tried to eat them, he discovered they were pearls—and he plunged into despair. - Saadi ash-Shiraz
