Thank you so very much for posting this.

All thanks is ultimately to GOD.

peace my dear friend whom I do not know but do. There is a singular accord and resonance to the things of GOD.

Thank you Mr Popsthebuilder! That is very kind of you.

Nice to know that my quotes are still considered beautiful and true...I was beginning to wonder if I was posting some not very positive quotes with negative vibes recently but you commented just in time and I feel may be I am posting some good things.

I have noticed that you have been on this forum for some time and you have firm belief in One God...I hope you don't mind me asking, have you considered studying Islam and possibly converting one day? I think you would make a very good muslim!

May Allah swt guide us all to the straight path that earns His pleasure, Ameen.

Very True. Respect to Mr King - he fought for truth, justice and fairness in a bad, awful society.

Now, modern day leaders only care about money, money, money and whats best for them/only their ppl/country (so self-fish), they don't care about anyone else in the society or the world....world filled with self fish, superficial and disingenuous leaders and the worst part is that's exactly who the people voted for, give the power to, to run the country in the modern day democracy. At least the rulers reflect the mindset of the majority which is Trump's idea of America and the Brexit Conservative Britian.

When it comes to Britain, the well-off and the comfortable living in society do not have time & do not care to think about ending poverty, supporting the poor youth, funding much needed education & healthcare services and helping the migrants and refugees fleeing from war/tragedy/poverty. Some are just too comfortable and only interested in making more money from tax reductions.


That's what happens when u get comfortable in life, do not have time to care about the rest of struggling society such as nurses/juniordoctors/hospitals pushed to the limit with not enough beds&services for growing ageing population, teachers/schools with overfilled class rooms/extra work&pressures and the demand on social services/council/housing and the lack of opportunities for the lower-middle class students to consider higher education due to ending up with massive debt thanks to increased tuition fees&interest rates.

Its alright for the well off who do not have to think about all these issues in society/world...not suprised we are living in a world where 50% of wealth (of world) is owned by 1% of world population. Goodbye social justice. The wrost part that I find most detestable is when the racists in society blame the hard working migrants and traumatised refugees from war-zone regions for "taking the money" when in fact they have nothing to with it, tax havens and greed may have something to do with it. And they don't even appreciate all the emigrants/refugees who contribute to society and economy when many places of public work throughout the country such as the healthcare nhs won't even survive if there was a mass exodus of all the emigrants that the racists wish never arrived at their shore.

^Lol I went on a massive tangent on current affairs and politics! Apologise for all the negativity on current state of affiars! I do believe in brighter future nevertheless. Despite the negative situation, I do beleieve there is opportunity to do good in all bad situations and you can't destroy hope and there are good people in this world. No one is perfect. There is good and bad like yin and yang.

Can't change the world but we must strive to change ourselves, the battle within each one of us, good vs evil. One of the most difficult challenges in life is to overcome the bad traits (continuous sins) within ourselves. But Allah is Most Merciful, Most Forgiving.

^Love that quote!

Now back to our regularly scheduled program!


“I'm for 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


“Belief, like fear or love, is a force to be understood as we understand the theory of relativity and principals of uncertainty. Phenomena that determine the course of our lives. Yesterday, my life was headed in one direction. Today, it is headed in another. Yesterday, I believe I would never have done what I did today. These forces that often remake time and space, that can shape and alter who we
imagine ourselves to be, begin long before we are born and continue after we perish. Our lives and our choices, like quantum trajectories, are understood moment to moment. That each point of intersection, each encounter, suggest a new potential direction.”
- David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas


“TO BE HOPEFUL in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.
What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places—and there are so many—where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.

And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.”
- Howard Zinn

Very deep, especially the last Quote is truly amazing! Thanks for sharing! Very true, deeply philosophical and inspirational. Not everyone sees the world and life in such point of view. May Allah swt grant us deep understanding with ihsaan, Ameen.

Some beautiful words of wisdom from Mufti Menk...

"A quiet person is not a weak person. He's strong in fact. He has struggles like all of us but he chooses not to stress others with it."

"Do you know someone with a good heart; who accepts apologies you don't give & sees the best in you? They're a rare breed. Treat them well."

"Don't wish ill on others as much as you want to hurt those who hurt you. Wish them healing. Wish them love. Walk away. The Almighty knows."
