“We live in an era where we’re excessively occupied with our image and the perception others have of us. This is to the point that we sometimes feel the need to present ourselves as being more than we really are, as being something we are not, in order to gain the admiration of others. A Muslim should be confident enough in himself that there isn’t even a need to give an inflated image of himself to others.”
— Tarek Mehanna[/font]

It is reported that Al-Fudayl b. ‘Ayyâd – (Allah have mercy on him) – said:
"The believer speaks little and does a lot, whereas the hypocrite speaks a lot and does little. When the believer speaks, it is with wisdom, when he is silent, it is in deep thought, when he sees, he takes lessons, and when he acts, it is a cure. If this is the way you are, then you are in the constant worship [of your Lord.]"

"Once a Muslim woman's dear husband passed away، leaving her all alone. A few days later, one of her friends asked her how she would take care of her family. How could she provide for herself & her children now that her husband had died. The woman answered, "My husband was not Ar-Razzaq [The Ever Provider], Allah is." [Author unknown]
"Verily, Allâh is the All-Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong." [The Qur'an 51:58]

“Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.”

“The believer speaks little but does much. And the hypocrite talks a lot but does little.
The believer’s speech is wisdom, his silence is contemplation, his gaze is pondering, his actions are righteous.
So if this is your state, you shall perpetually be in worship.”
— al-Fudayl ibn ‘Iyad

People who have memorised the Qur’aan should be known by the night when people are sleeping and he is awake, and by the morning when people are not fasting but he is, by his sadness when they are happy, by his crying when they are laughing, by his silence when they are slandering, and by his piety and humility when they are arrogant. He who has memorised the Qur’aan should be tearful, sad, wise, patient and calm. He should not be rude, inattentive, loud or cruel.
- Ibn al-Qayyim
