“Nothing is harder for Satan to bear than a person who recites the Qur’an by looking at the pages”

“Surely the recitation of the Qur’an is an atonement for the sins, a covering (protection) from the Hell Fire, and a safety from the punishment. Mercy will descend upon the reciter, the Angels will seek forgiveness for him, Heaven will long for that person, and his Master (Allah) will be pleased with him.”

“Excess of joy is harder to bear than any amount of sorrow.”

“There is nothing harder, at moments, than talking to someone who has all the power of silence.”

“Everything in existence prays for the forgiveness of the person who teaches the Qur’an - even the fish in the sea.”

“For if we're destroyed, the knowledge is dead… We're nothing more than dust jackets for books… so many pages to a person…”

“Nothing is harder than to accept oneself.”

“Nothing in this world is harder than speaking the truth, nothing easier than flattery.”

“The truth isn't easily pinned to a page. In the bathtub of history the truth is harder to hold than the soap and much more difficult to find.”

“Nothing is more wonderful than the art of being free, but nothing is harder to learn how to use than freedom.”
