Kindle Notes & Highlights
“It is always good to analyze your niyyah—your intention—before making decisions. The Prophet Muhammad, may Allah be pleased with him, said: ‘Actions are judged by intentions, and everyone will have what they intended.’
Promise you will always choose laughter over tears. Promise you will choose to live in a comedy instead of a tragedy.”
“Just remember to pack light. Dreams tend to shatter if you’re carrying other people’s hopes around with you.”
Always dream together, raja. Always leave space in your life to grow and soften.”
My mother taught me there was only one way to be a good Muslim, that any other way was misguided. You showed me that faith was a wide road. I was harsh; you taught me compassion. I was judgmental; you taught me to be brave and open.
