"Anger that has no limit, causes terror. Kindness that is inappropriate, does away with respect. So do not be so severe with others, as to terrify them; and do not be so lenient with others, as to make them take advantage of you". [Sa'di (Muslim Theologian)]

“Where others falter a Muslim remains steadfast, where others tend to weaken a Muslim remains balanced, where others go astray a Muslim follows the right path, where others sell their conscience a Muslim remains un-moved and nobody, no Government, no political party, no individual whatsoever powerful or wealthier he may be, can buy the conscience of these Muslims.” -Maulana Abul Hasan 'Ali Nadwi (rahimahullah)

One with incredible insight, Hadrat Imam Ghazali (May the mercy of Allah be upon him) has written that death is so close at all times that the cloth for one's burial shroud might already have come into the market but the person is oblivious of how close death is. People have forgotten death but death has not forgotten them.
