“don’t worry what people think, they don’t do it very often.”

“I’m going to read what I want, listen to what I want and watch French films and I’m going to talk to people who know lots about lots.”
—An Education
Allah gives us gifts. But then we often become dependent on those gifts, instead of Him. When He gives us money, we depend on the money—not Him. When He gives us people, we depend on people—not Him. When He gives us status or power, we depend on, and become distracted by these things. When Allah gives us health, we become deceived. We think we will never die.

“Verily in the skies and the earth are Signs…”
—Qur’an 45:3
you be the sun
i’ll be the moon-
just let your light
come shining through;
and when night comes,
just like the moon,
i’ll shine the light
right back to you.
