1. “Her Majesty's government is engaging not merely in Orwellian Newspeak but in self-defeating Orwellian Newspeak. The broader message it sends is that ours is a weak culture so unconfident and insecure that if you bomb us and kill us our first urge is to find a way to flatter and apologize to you.” - Mark Steyn
2. “Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.” - Malcolm X
3. “Kekayaan tidak dinilai daripada banyaknya harta tetapi kaya jiwa.” - Tuan Guru Dato' Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat
4. “لو كان للأديان بصمة لكان العدل بصمة الإسلام” - جمال البنا
5. “وصدق من قال: الناس رجلان، رجل نام في النور، و رجل استيقظ في الظلام” - محمد الغزالي
6. “...But the Mahommedan religion increases, instead of lessening, the fury of intolerance. It was originally propagated by the sword, and ever since, its votaries have been subject, above the people of all other creeds, to this form of madness. In a moment the fruits of patient toil, the prospects of material prosperity, the fear of death itself, are flung aside. The more emotional Pathans are powerless to resist. All rational considerations are forgotten. Seizing their weapons, they become Ghazis—as dangerous and as sensible as mad dogs: fit only to be treated as such. While the more generous spirits among the tribesmen become convulsed in an ecstasy of religious bloodthirstiness, poorer and more material souls derive additional impulses from the influence of others, the hopes of plunder and the joy of fighting. Thus whole nations are roused to arms. Thus the Turks repel their enemies, the Arabs of the Soudan break the British squares, and the rising on the Indian frontier spreads far and wide. In each case civilisation is confronted with militant Mahommedanism. The forces of progress clash with those of reaction. The religion of blood and war is face to face with that of peace.” - Winston Churchill
7. “Rifangi hanya menawarkan sehelai pembalut putih yang steril, tapi manusia bukan cetakan tunggal mumi Adam di atas bumi, yang ditaruh dalam gelas, tanpa sejarah, tanpa ketelanjuran kebudayaan.” - Goenawan Mohamad
8. “عمل ودعاء .. هذا هو منهج نبي الله وهذا هو توكله على الله” - محمد الصوياني
9. “لم يستبدل الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم حباً بحب , بل أضاف حباً إلى حب” - محمد الصوياني
10. “The force that played havoc with the cortisol in my blood was the same force that helped my body recover; if I felt better one day and worse the next, it was unchanged. It chose no side. It gave the girl next to me in the hospital pneumonia; it also gave her white blood cells that would resist the infection. And the atoms in those cells, and the nuclei in those atoms, the same bits of carbon that were being spun into new planets in some corner of space without a name. My insignificance had become unspeakably beautiful to me. That unified force was a god too massive, too inhuman, to resist with the atheism in which I had been brought up. I became a zealot without a religion.” - G. Willow Wilson
11. “Närrisch, dass jeder in seinem FalleSeine besondere Meinung preist!Wenn Islam Gott ergeben heißt,Im Islam leben und sterben wir alle!” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
12. “It is always difficult to make the transition to a modern world. I moved from the world of faith to the world of reason - from the world of excision and forced marriage to the world of secual emancipation. Having made that journey, I know that one of those worlds is simply better than the other. Not because of its flashy gadgets, but fundamentally, because of its values. The message of this book, if it must have a message, is that we in the West would be wrong to prolong the pain of that transition unnecessarily, by elevating cultures full of bigotry and hatred toward women to the stature of respectable alternative ways of life.” - Ayaan Hirsi Ali
13. “Many well-meaning Dutch people have told me in all earnestness that nothing in Islamic culture incites abuse of women, that this is just a terrible misunderstanding. Men all over the world beat their women, I am constantly informed. In reality, these Westerners are the ones who misunderstand Islam. The Quaran mandates these punishments. It gives a legitimate basis for abuse, so that the perpetrators feel no shame and are not hounded by their conscience of their community. I wanted my art exhibit to make it difficult for people to look away from this problem. I wanted secular, non-Muslim people to stop kidding themselves that "Islam is peace and tolerance.” - Ayaan Hirsi Ali
14. “By declaring our Prophet infallible and not permitting ourselves to question him, we Muslims had set up a static tyranny. The Prophet Muhammad attempted to legislate every aspect of life. By adhering to his rules of what is permitted and what is forbidden, we Muslims supressed the freedom to think for ourselves and to act as we chose. We froze the moral outlook of billions of people into the mind-set of the Arab desert in the seventh century. We were not just servants of Allah, we were slaves.” - Ayaan Hirsi Ali
15. “Infuriatingly stupid analysts - especially people who called themselves Arabists, yet who seemed to know next to nothing about the reality of the Islamic world - wrote reams of commentary [after 9/11]. Their articles were all about Islam saving Aristotle and the zero, which medieval Muslim scholars had done more than eight hundred years ago; about Islam being a religion of peace and tolerance, not the slightest bit violent. These were fairy tales, nothing to do with the real world I knew.” - Ayaan Hirsi Ali
16. “Verily, knowledge is a lock and its key is the question.” - Imam Ja'Far Al-Sadiq
17. “If greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and astonishing results are the three criteria of a human genius, who could dare compare any great man in history with Muhammad?” - Alphonse de Lamartine
18. “Muhammad has always been standing higher than the Christianity. He does not consider god as a human being and never makes himself equal to God. Muslims worship nothing except God and Muhammad is his Messenger. There is no any mystery and secret in it.” - Leo Tolstoy
19. “So this is where all the vapid talk about the 'soul' of the universe is actually headed. Once the hard-won principles of reason and science have been discredited, the world will not pass into the hands of credulous herbivores who keep crystals by their sides and swoon over the poems of Khalil Gibran. The 'vacuum' will be invaded instead by determined fundamentalists of every stripe who already know the truth by means of revelation and who actually seek real and serious power in the here and now. One thinks of the painstaking, cloud-dispelling labor of British scientists from Isaac Newton to Joseph Priestley to Charles Darwin to Ernest Rutherford to Alan Turing and Francis Crick, much of it built upon the shoulders of Galileo and Copernicus, only to see it casually slandered by a moral and intellectual weakling from the usurping House of Hanover. An awful embarrassment awaits the British if they do not declare for a republic based on verifiable laws and principles, both political and scientific.” - Christopher Hitchens
20. “Hitherto, the Palestinians had been relatively immune to this Allahu Akhbar style. I thought this was a hugely retrograde development. I said as much to Edward. To reprint Nazi propaganda and to make a theocratic claim to Spanish soil was to be a protofascist and a supporter of 'Caliphate' imperialism: it had nothing at all to do with the mistreatment of the Palestinians. Once again, he did not exactly disagree. But he was anxious to emphasize that the Israelis had often encouraged Hamas as a foil against Fatah and the PLO. This I had known since seeing the burning out of leftist Palestinians by Muslim mobs in Gaza as early as 1981. Yet once again, it seemed Edward could only condemn Islamism if it could somehow be blamed on either Israel or the United States or the West, and not as a thing in itself. He sometimes employed the same sort of knight's move when discussing other Arabist movements, excoriating Saddam Hussein's Ba'ath Party, for example, mainly because it had once enjoyed the support of the CIA. But when Saddam was really being attacked, as in the case of his use of chemical weapons on noncombatants at Halabja, Edward gave second-hand currency to the falsified story that it had 'really' been the Iranians who had done it. If that didn't work, well, hadn't the United States sold Saddam the weaponry in the first place? Finally, and always—and this question wasn't automatically discredited by being a change of subject—what about Israel's unwanted and ugly rule over more and more millions of non-Jews?I evolved a test for this mentality, which I applied to more people than Edward. What would, or did, the relevant person say when the United States intervened to stop the massacres and dispossessions in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo? Here were two majority-Muslim territories and populations being vilely mistreated by Orthodox and Catholic Christians. There was no oil in the region. The state interests of Israel were not involved (indeed, Ariel Sharon publicly opposed the return of the Kosovar refugees to their homes on the grounds that it set an alarming—I want to say 'unsettling'—precedent). The usual national-security 'hawks,' like Henry Kissinger, were also strongly opposed to the mission. One evening at Edward's apartment, with the other guest being the mercurial, courageous Azmi Bishara, then one of the more distinguished Arab members of the Israeli parliament, I was finally able to leave the arguing to someone else. Bishara [...] was quite shocked that Edward would not lend public support to Clinton for finally doing the right thing in the Balkans. Why was he being so stubborn? I had begun by then—belatedly you may say—to guess. Rather like our then-friend Noam Chomsky, Edward in the final instance believed that if the United States was doing something, then that thing could not by definition be a moral or ethical action.” - Christopher Hitchens
21. “I used to call myself a single-issue voter on the essential question of defending civilization against its terrorist enemies and their totalitarian protectors, and on that 'issue' I hope I can continue to expose and oppose any ambiguity.” - Christopher Hitchens
22. “Larsson was an active and lifelong feminist, partly for personal reasons but also because he saw that ending gender slavery was as crucial to next-stage evolution as ending race slavery was to the last stage. It's a noble fight, not least because the various fundamentalisms threatening Western democracy are united in their urgent need to re-cage women's sexuality.” - Elizabeth Farrelly
23. “...The Qur'an cannot be translated. ...The book is here rendered almost literally and every effort has been made to choose befitting language. But the result is not the Glorious Qur'an, that inimitable symphony, the very sounds of which move men to tears and ecstasy. It is only an attempt to present the meaning of the Qur'an-and peradventure something of the charm in English. It can never take the place of the Qur'an in Arabic, nor is it meant to do so...” - Pickthall M. Marmaduke
24. “I am a Muslim, because it's a religion that teaches you an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. It teaches you to respect everybody, and treat everybody right. But it also teaches you if someone steps on your toe, chop off their foot. And I carry my religious axe with me all the time.” - Malcolm X
25. “True Islam taught me that it takes all of the religious, political, economic, psychological, and racial ingredients, or characteristics, to make the Human Family and the Human Society complete.” - Malcolm X
26. “the bombers of Manhattan represent fascism with an Islamic face. . . . What they abominate about ‘the West,’ to put it in a phrase, is not what Western liberals don’t like and can’t defend about their own system, but what they do like about it and must defend: its emancipated women, its scientific inquiry, its separation of religion from the state. Loose talk about chickens coming home to roost is the moral equivalent of the hateful garbage emitted by Falwell and Robertson.” - Christopher Hitchens
27. “Whatever has befallen you was not meant to escape you, and whatever has escaped you was not meant to befall you.” - Aidh bin Abdullah Al-Qarni
28. “War can condition a person to be resilient, tolerant, dependable, strong, and capable of so much more than one who had experienced nothing of it; it can bring out the very best in us, but also the very worst. Where is it, I ask, the proper conduit through which a soldier should be raised from whence they would become an upstanding citizen of the world, instead of a single country?” - Mike Norton
29. “London is one of the world's centres of Arab journalism and political activism. The failure of left and right, the establishment and its opposition, to mount principled arguments against clerical reaction has had global ramifications. Ideas minted in Britain – the notion that it is bigoted to oppose bigotry; 'Islamophobic' to oppose clerics whose first desire is to oppress Muslims – swirl out through the press and the net to lands where they can do real harm.” - Nick Cohen
30. “Islam teaches tolerance, not hatred; universal brotherhood, not enmity; peace, and not violence.” - Parwez Musharraf
31. “Of course, a single verse of the Holy Qur'an or a hadith moves the faithful to good actions, but volumes of books would not move an unwilling person who is like an ass carrying a load of books.” - Muhammad Zakariyya Kandhalvi
32. “إن فساد المفاهيم أخطر وأشق علاجاً من فساد السلوك | محمد قطب: كيف ندعو الناس” - محمد قطب
33. “الدين علاقة رأسية بين العبد وربه حولناها إلى علاقة أفقية بين المواطن وأخيه” - جلال عامر
34. “disagreement based on LEGITIMATE IJTIHAD which does not create DISCORD or DISUNITY is a BLESSING for the UMMAH and an enrichment of ISLAMIC JURISPRUDENCE. Objective disagreement in itself poses no threat if it is coupled with TOLERANCE and is free of FANATICISM, ACCUSATIONS, and NARROW-MINDEDNESS.” - Yusuf al-Qaradawi
35. “The desired Islamic state might be likened to an orchard planted with olive and palm trees that will take a relatively long time to produce fruit.” - Yusuf al-Qaradawi
36. “Islam is not man's ultimate justification to do as he pleases--it is, instead, a religion built on reason and evidence. If each of us asks the ustaz for the causes of his religious opinions, then we should, by doing so, help realise the principles of Islam and thus improve intellectual discussion in our own community.” - Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin
37. “The great majority of us are Muslims. We follow the teachings of the Prophet Mohammed (may peace be upon him). We are members of the brotherhood of Islam in which all are equal in rights, dignity and self-respect. Consequently, we have a special and a very deep sense of unity. But make no mistake: Pakistan is not a theocracy or anything like it.” - Muhammad Ali Jinnah
38. “Inexperience people think that books will lead the one of intellect to understanding. But the ignoramus doesn't know that in these books are ambiguos that will confuse even the most intelligent of people. If you try to learn this knowledge without a teacher you will go astray and affairs will become so confusing to you that you will be more astray than Toma*, the physician.*توما الحكيم” - Abū Hayyān al-Tawhīdī
39. “The 'fires'n that produce thick, rarely innocent, often strategic smoke should therefore be scrutinized. they should be known and identified; and when they involve dishonesty, lies, or manipulation, they they should be ignored.” - Tariq Ramadan
40. “I have learned that one should say "Peace!" to those who shout their hatred for one's being and presence or at one's passage.” - Tariq Ramadan
41. “Al Qaeda's central political objective is the creation of an Islamic republic, not the progressive realignment of American foreign policy.” - Simon Cottee
42. “نحن المسلمين ! ديننا الفضيلة الظاهرة ، الحق الأبلج. لا حجب ولا أستار ولا خفايا ولا أسرار. هو واضح وضوح المئذنة . أفليس فيها ذلك المعنى ؟ هل في الدنيا جماعه او نحلة تكرر مبادئها وتذاع عشر مرات في اليومكما تذاع مبادئ ديننا نحن المسلمون ،على ألسنة المؤذنين : أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأشهد أن محمداً رسول الله” - علي الطنطاوي
43. “When the man, by means if 'ibadat, succeeded in curbing his animal and canal passions and has thereby rendered submissive his animal soul,making it subject to the rational soul, the man thus described has attained to freedom and existence;he has achieved supreme peace and his soul is pacified, being set at liberty, as it were, free from fetters of inexorable fate and the noisy strife and hell of human vices.” - Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas
44. “Man is like an island set in isolation in a fathomless sea enveloped by darkness, saying that the loneliness his self knows is so utterly absolute because even he knows not his self completely.” - Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas
45. “People accuse me of having interiorized a feeling of racial inferiority, so that I attack my own culture out of self-hatred, because I want to be white. This is a tiresome argument. Tell me, is freedom then only for white people? Is it self-love to adhere to my ancestors' traditions and mutilate my daughters? To agree to be humiliated and powerless? To watch passively as my countrymen abuse women and slaughter each other in pointless disputes? When I came to a new culture, where I saw for the first time that human relations could be different, would it have been self-love to see that as a foreign cult, which Muslims are forbidden to practice?” - Ayaan Hirsi Ali
46. “إن الثورة على الأوضاع النسوية التقليدية آتية لا محالة، وليحذر الاسلاميون من أن يوقعهم الفزع من الغزو الحضاري الغربي، والتفسخ الجنسي المقتحم في خطأ المحاولة لحفظ القديم وترميمه بحسبانه أخف شررًا وضررًا، لأن المحافظة جهد يائس لا يجدي، والأوفق بالاسلاميين أن يقودوا هم النهضة بالمرأة من وحل الأوضاع التقليدية لئلا يتركوا المجتمع نهبا لكل داعية غربي النزعة يضل به عن سواء السبيل” - عبدالله النفيسي
47. “يظن الغمر أن الكتب تهدى ... ... أخاً فهم لإدراك العلوموما يدرى الجهول بأن فيها ... ... غوامض حيرت عقل الفهيمإذا رمت العلوم بغير شيخ ... ... ضللت عن الصراط المستقيموتلتبس الأمور عليك حتى ... ... تصير أضل من 'توما الحكيم” - أبو حيان التوحيدي
48. “The neo-cons, or some of them, decided that they would back Clinton when he belatedly decided for Bosnia and Kosovo against Milosevic, and this even though they loathed Clinton, because the battle against religious and ethnic dictatorship in the Balkans took precedence. This, by the way, was partly a battle to save Muslims from Catholic and Christian Orthodox killers. That impressed me. The neo-cons also took the view, quite early on, that coexistence with Saddam Hussein was impossible as well as undesirable. They were dead right about that. They had furthermore been thinking about the menace of jihadism when most people were half-asleep.And then I have to say that I was rather struck by the way that the Weekly Standard and its associated voices took the decision to get rid of Trent Lott earlier this year, thus removing an embarrassment as well as a disgrace from the political scene. And their arguments were on points of principle, not 'perception.' I liked their ruthlessness here, and their seriousness, at a time when much of the liberal Left is not even seriously wrong, but frivolously wrong, and babbles without any sense of responsibility. (I mean, have you read their sub-Brechtian stuff on Halliburton....?) And revolution from above, in some states and cases, is—as I wrote in my book A Long Short War—often preferable to the status quo, or to no revolution at all.” - Christopher Hitchens
49. “Biblical, Talmudic, or Koranic literalists remind me of children wrinkling their noses at Belon oysters and asking for more Chef Boy-E-Dee. They want the world to be as simple as they are.” - Tim Kreider
50. “وتأمل أحوال الرسل صلوات الله وسلامه عليهم مع الله ، وخطابهم وسؤالهم، كيف تجدها كلها مشحونة بالأدب قائمة به :قالُ إبراهيم الخليل صلى الله عليه وسلم: { الَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ (78) َوالَّذِي هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِي وَيَسْقِينِ (79) وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ (80)} ، ولم يقل: "إذا أمرضني" حفظاً للأدب مع الله".وقال آدم عليه السلام : { رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنفُسَنَا وَإِن لَّمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الخَاسِرِينَ } ، ولم يقل: "رب قدرت عليّ وقضيت عليَّ".وقول أيوب عليه السلام : { مَسَّنِيَ الضُّرُّ وَأَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ }الأنبياء:83، ولم يقل: "عافني واشفني".وموسى عليه الصلاة والسلام، حيث قال: { رَبِّ إِنِّي لِمَا أَنزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيرٌ} ، ولم يقل: أطعمني.” - ابن قيم الجوزية
51. “Mahound comes to me for revelation, asking me to choose between monotheist and henotheist alternatives, and I'm just some idiot actor having a bhaenchud nightmare, what the fuck do I know, yaar, what to tell you, help. Help.” - Salman Rushdie
52. “The unity of scientific and spiritual knowledge is realized when each of the particular sciences is organically related to the supreme knowledge of al-tawhid.” - Osman Bakar
53. “Repentance and yearning, and yearning and repentance: this is the total harvest of life.” - Khurram Murad
54. “There should be no difficulty in understanding this love. Each one of you knows what love is. You know how restless one is to get close to whomsoever one loves; what pleasure one feels even in taking the name of the beloved and in taking that name again and again; the earnest zest with which one strives to win over one's beloved, and the extent to which one dreads the displeasure of the beloved. Just keep examining to what extent you have attained this love. Peep into your heart and see what is the place of Allah therein. The same shall be your place to Him.” - Khurram Murad
55. “Dalam lawatan itu, saya menyatakan kebimbangan tentang aliran-aliran extremism yang sedang menular di kalangan beberapa kelompok aktivis Islam pada waktu itu. Fazlur Rahman menasihati bahawa intelektual dan pemikir Muslim tidak harus pasif. Harus kerja kuat, menulis dan menjelaskan kepada masyarakat dengan mendalam dan integriti. Tanpa gerakan intelektualisme yang mendalam, kebangkitan Islam akan gagal dan kecewa.” - Wan Mohd Nor Wan Daud
56. “No one is as murderously 'Islamophobic' as Islamists are.” - Nick Cohen
57. “Half the published articles on Gaza contain a standard reference to its resemblance to a vast open-air prison (and when I last saw it under Israeli occupation it certainly did deserve this metaphor). The problem is that, given its ideology and its allies, Hamas qualifies rather too well in the capacity of guard and warder.” - Christopher Hitchens
58. “Many historians regard him [Offa] as the most powerful Anglo-Saxon king before Alfred the Great. In the 780s he extended his power over most of Southern England. One of the most remarkable extantfrom King Offa's reign is a gold coin that is kept in the British Museum. On one side, it carries the inscription Offa Rex (Offa the King). But, turn it over and you are in for a surprise, for in badly copied Arabic are the words La Illaha Illa Allah ('There is no god but Allah alone'). This coin is a copy of an Abbasid dinarfrom the reign of Al-Mansur, dating to 773, and was most probably used by Anglo-Saxon traders. It would have been known even in Anglo-Saxon England that Islamic gold dinars were the most important coinage in the world at that time and Offa's coin looked enough like the original that it would have been readily accepted abroad.” - Jim Al-Khalili
59. “Some are born virtuous, some become virtuous. To be good by nature is indeed fortunate but to become good is like walking on a double-edged sword; it takes a longer time and is more painful.” - Umera Ahmed
60. “A'isha asked him: 'Does one come to Paradise only by the mercy of Allah?' He repeated three times over: 'No one comes to Paradise except by the mercy of Allah!' 'Not even you. Messenger of Allah?' she asked. 'Not even I, unless Allah enfolds me in His mercy.” - Anonymous
61. “Hijau adalah warna yang indah. Warna Islam. Warna kesukaanku.” - Yann Martel
62. “اقرأ هذه الآية:﴿... الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ...﴾إنها تتكرر بصيغتها أو معناها في القرآن أكثر من خمسين مرة، كأنما تؤكد لنا ضرورة توحيد أمرين اعتاد الناس على الفصل بينهما. إن هذه الآية تعبّر عن الفرق بين الدين (الإيمان) وبين الأخلاق (عملُ الصالحات) كما تأمر في الوقت نفسه بضرورة أن يسير الاثنان معًا. كذلك يكشف لنا القرآن عن علاقة أخرى عكسية بين الأخلاق والدين، فيوجه نظرنا إلى أن الممارسة الأخلاقية قد تكـون حافـزًا قويًا على التدين:﴿لَن تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّىٰ تُنفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ ۚ ﴾، فمعنى الآية هنا لا يقول: «آمن لتصبح خيِّرًا» وإنما على العكس يقول: «افعل الخير تصبح مؤمنًا». وفي هذه النقطة نرى إجابة على سؤال: كيف يمكن للإنسان أن يقوّي إيمانه؟ والإجابة هي: «افعل الخير تجد الله أمامك».” - علي عزت بيجوفيتش
63. “ونحن على ثقة أنه لو درس شيوخ المسلمين العلوم الكونية وعرفوا أسرار سنة الله في خليقته لما كثرت الملاحدة وفشت المناكير” - عبد العزيز جاويش
64. “Past and future are the same, and we cannot change either, only know them more fully. My journey to the past had changed nothing, but what I had learned had changed everything, and I understood that it could not have been otherwise. If our lives are tales that Allah tells, then we are the audience as well as the players, and it is by living these tales that we receive their lessons.” - Ted Chiang
65. “Tuhan, di dunia dan akhirataku ingin mengabdipada api Islam abadipimpin aku!berkati perjuanganku!Tuhan, aku ingin majumenerjang rintangan engkardi dadaku biar menggemaAllahu Akbar!Allahu Akbar!” - Hamka
66. “The Prophet (SAW) said: 'Knowledge is only gained through learning and clemency is only gained through perseverance.” - Muhammad Adb Al-Rahman Al-Arifi

68. “بحكم المنطق الداخلي للأشياء يتوازى كل من التطور و الحضارةو العلم والطوبيا مع الإلحاد، بينما يتوازى الخلق والثقافة و الفن و الأخلاق مع الدين.” - علي عزت بيجوفيتش
69. “ويأتي يوم أحد لتتفاقم الماساة ويشتد الخطب، وتعظم المصيبة، ويقتل القرشيون سبعين من خيرة الصحابة، ويمثل القرشيون بأجساد الشهداء -وفي مقدمتهم حمزة رضي الله عنه- في مخالفة واضحة لأعراف وقيم الجزيرة العربية، ويتقطع الرسول -صلوات الله وسلامه عليه- ألماً وهو يرى أجساد أصحابه ممزقة على أرض أحد، ويتربصون به -صلى الله عليه وسلم - شخصياً، ويجرحونه في كل موضع من جسده حتى لا يقوى على القيام في صلاة الظهر فيصلى جالساً، وتتفجر الدماء من وجهه -صلوات الله وسلامه عليه-، وتُبذل المحاولات المضنية لوقف النزيف، ويُحَاصَرُ الرسول -صلوات الله وسلامه عليه- وبعض أصحابه في الجبل..إنها لحظة من أشد لحظات حياته -صل الله عليه وسلم - شدة وقسوة..!!في هذا الجو من الألم والحزن والضيق، يمسح -صلوات الله وسلامه عليه- الدم عن وجهه ويقول :" رب اغفر لقومي فإنهم لا يعلمون" إنه يعاملهم معاملة الأب الحنون الذي يرى اينه عاقاً ومنحرفاً ومؤذياً له وللمجتمع، فيرفع يده للسماء ليدعو له، لا ليدعو عليه.” - راغب السرجاني

72. “كلمات من ذهب !يقول القاضي مجير الدين الحنبلي في وصف المسجد الأقصى في كتابه "الأُنس الجليل في تاريخ القدس و الخليل ":إعلم وفقك الله أن المسجد الأقصى, ليس له نظير تحت أديم السماء و لا بني في المساجد صفته و لا سعته .. و أما صفته في هذا العصر, فهي ايضاً من الصفات العجيبة لحسن بنائه و اتقانه” - القاضي مجير الدين الحنبلي
73. “Islam menolak secara total penerapan apapun dari konsep-konsep sekular, sekularisasi atau sekularisme atas dirinya, kerana semuanya itu bukanlah milik Islam dan asing baginya dalam segala segi. Konsep-konsep tersebut merupakan milik dan hanya wajar dalam konteks sejarah intelektual Kristen-Barat, baik pengalaman maupun kesedaran keagamaannya.” - Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas
74. “Yet she belongs, finally and truly, only to God. The hijab is a symbol of freedom from the male regard, but also, in our time, of freedom from subjugation by the iron fist of materialism, deterministic science, and the death of meaning. It denotes softness, otherness, inwardness. She is not only caught in a world of power relations, but she inhabits a world of love and sacrifice. This freedom, which is of the conscience, is hers to exercise as she will.” - Abdal Hakim Murad
75. “الإسلام يملك على الإنسان أقطار نفسه من هذه الناحية، فإن أغلب شرائعه تدور على حهاد النفس وجهاد الناس.وجهاد النفس فِطامها عما تشتهي من آثام، أو تجنح إليه من مناكير.وجهاد الناس منع مظالمهم من إفساد الحياة وخلخلة الإيمان، والإصلاح في جنباتها.وكلا الجهادين يستغرق العمر كله لحظة لحظة، ولا يستبقي فرصا للعبث والذهول والغفلات.” - محمد الغزالي
76. “Sta mi mogu moji neprijatelji. Moj dzennet je u mojim prsima, prati me svugdje. Ako me zatvore, to mi je osama sa Allahom. Ako me ubiju, to mi je sehadet. A ako me protjeraju, to mi je turizam na Allahovom putu".” - Ibn Taymiyyah
77. “Penekanan al-Quran terhadap hubungan intim antara epistemologi dan aksiologi dan kerohanian bukan bertujuan untuk merubah keobjektifan data dan fakta yang telah disahkan dengan betul. Sebaliknya ia bertujuan untuk memberi petunjuk yang sempurna, hikmah dan makna berhubung pelbagai dimensi usaha-usaha epistemologi. Justeru itu konsep ilmu dalam Islam mempunyai tujuan, yang ekoran daripadanya pula sejajar secara idealnya dengan keperluan-keperluan weltanshauungnya. Pendapat kesemua sarjana Islam adalah tepat bahawa tujuan utama ilmu adalah untuk mengenali Allah. Walaupun mereka berselisih tentang darjah-darjah ilmu ini.” - Wan Mohd Nor Wan Daud
78. “One would love nonetheless to know how to be a man, how to be a woman before God, in the mirror of one's own conscience, in the looks of those who surround us. One would wish to find the strength to beautify one's thoughts and to purify one's heart. It is everyone's hope and expectation to live in serenity and to plod along in transparency: the palms of the hands patiently directed towards heaven, at the heart of all this modernity.” - Tariq Ramadan

83. “The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "My Companions are as stars. Whomsoever of them you follow, you will be rightly guided." When a man looks at a star, and finds his way by it, the star does not speak any word to that man. Yet, by merely looking at the star, the man knows the road from roadlessness and reaches his goal.” - Jalaluddin Rumi
84. “إنتهاء عصر الوحي هو إبتداء عصر العقل” - محمد الغزالي
85. “If one has not been able to experience God by himself, one should allow himself to be guided by the experiences of others who have experienced Him” - Muhammad Asad
86. “Nor can one take an unfair attitude even towards enemies: "Let the enmity of a people[towards you] not determine you upon an unjust course; be fair, it is closer to taqwā. Quran” - Fazlur Rahman
87. “The idea behind verses about the sealing of hearts appears to be the psychological law that if a person once does a good or an evil deed, his chances of repeating that kind of action increase and of doing its opposite proportionately decrease. With constant repetition of an evil or of a good action, it becomes almost impossible for a person to do the opposite, or even to think of it, so much so that while men's hearts become "sealed" and their eyes "blinded" if they do evil, their doing good produces such a state of mind that the devil himself can have no sway over it. Nevertheless, actions which create a psychological habit, however strong their influence may be, must not be construed as absolute determinants, for there is no "point of no return" for human behavior: genuine repentance (tauba) can turn an apparently wholly evil man into a paragon of virtue; on the other hand, although this is much more rare, an apparent paragon of virtue (even a prophet!) can turn into a near devil enmeshed in carnal pleasures .” - Fazlur Rahman
88. “It must be constantly remembered that the Qu r’ān is not just descriptive but is primarily prescriptive. Both the content of its message and the power of the form in which it is conveyed are designed not so much to "inform" men in any ordinary sense of the word as to change their character. The psychological impact and the moral import of its statements, therefore, have a primaryrole. Phrases like "God has sealed their hearts, blinded their eyes, deafened them to truth” in the Qur’ān do have a descriptive meaning in terms of the psychological processes described earlier; but even more primarily in such contexts, they have a definite psychological intention: to change the ways of men in the right direction.” - Fazlur Rahman
89. “This struggle between good and evil, fresh and stale, new and decrepit,between the vigor of moral youth and the dotage of senility, is of positive benefit, for it keeps the perennial moral values alive” - Fazlur Rahman
90. “The purpose of man's creation is that he do good in the world, not substitutehimself for God and think that he can make and unmake the moral law at his ownconvenience and for his own selfish and narrow ends. This is the difference betweenphysical laws and the moral law—the one is to be used and put to service; the othermust be obeyed and served. For God says” - Fazlur Rahman
91. “Any religion can be compared to the attic of an old home. Unless the attic is regularly cleaned, it gathers dust and cobwebs and eventually becomes unusable. Similarly, if a religion cannot be updated or cleaned from time to time, it loses its usefulness and cannot relate anymore to changed times and people.” - Swami Bhaskarananda
92. “In the traditional Islamic world, the hierarchy of the arts was not based on whether they were "fine" or "industrial" or "minor". It was based upon the effect of art on the soul of the human being.” - Seyyed Hossein Nasr
93. “The Prophet's character was termed tremendous because his concern was for God alone.” - Imam Junayd al-Baghdadi
94. “Belief in God, without belief in the Prophet (SAWW), would still be unbelief.” - Wasif Ali Wasif
95. “Pada prinsipnya kita bersetuju bahawa pandangan manusia, dan oleh kerananya ilmu-ilmu yang dibangunkan olehnya, dalam bidang apapun tidak boleh dikultuskan dan dianggap absolut. Hanya ilmu Tuhan yang mutlak (absolute). Menyedari keterbatasan ilmu manusia ini maka kita harus bersifat terbuka dalam menerima kepelbagaian pandangan, dan pada tahap ini kita bersetuju dengan idea pluralisme. Namun apabila kita berbicara mengenai konteks yang lebih besar iaitu tentang kebenaran dan realiti, dan bukan sebatas kebenaran dan realiti yang ditayangkan oleh akal fikiran manusia semata, tetapi suatu yang ditayangkan oleh pandangan alam Islam maka kita harus berhati-hari kerana ia melibatkan bukan hanya ilmu manusia tetapi juga ilmu Tuhan yang telah disampaikan kepada manusia melalui para nabi dan rasulNya. Oleh kerana itu dalam konteks Islam tiada pluralisme agama kerana di sini kita berbicara tentang wahyu dan makna-makna yang dibangun oleh al-Qur’an itu sendiri, dan bukan semata-mata hasil budaya dan produk sejarah manusia.” - Khalif Muammar
96. “The Islamic intellectual tradition has usually not seen a dichotomy between intellect and intuition but has created a hierarchy of knowledge and methods of attaining knowledge according to which degrees of both intellection and intuition become harmonized in an order encompassing all the means available to man to know, from sensual knowledge an reason to intellection and inner version or the "knowledge of the heart.” - Seyyed Hossein Nasr
97. “Scientists or thinkers who try to discover the truth cannot find that higher life by thinking alone, but their own life, spent in search for the truth and neglecting the physical living, is just that higher form of human existence.” - Alija Izetbegović
