The Disputations
Twenty seven
2. There is someone in everyone’s family who does not die of old age.
3. You cannot start the car and drive in the same gear all the time. Because you have to react to your environment and you have move quickly, stop and move. So like your life you can move quickly at times and you have to pause sometimes. You have to change gears as each gear has a reason to be used.
4. When you drive up a steep hill you have to change to a lower gear. Or you will not ascend at the same speed. If you stay in the same gear then you'll slow down and maybe stop. So the higher you go in this deen the lower you'll have be or else you'll slow down because your head is too high...
5. When you drive the front window is where the most attention needs to be paid because if you look in the back window everything is in order. Like our lives what is coming to us is important but once its gone - its in the past.
6. Your greatest asset is your greatest weakness ; if you do not rely on Allah (the Exalted)
7. When Allah (the Exalted) sends you tribulation he wants you to soar not sink.
8. Your Nafs drives you to sin and satan encourages you to commit it. So do you blame satan when you should blame your nafs!
9. Allah wants to give you a great reward so he sends you a great tribulation.
10. Before asking the question; ponder if you are receptive to an answer. If you are not then do not ask!
11. Do not look forward to a future in the past - move on.
12. All past tense verbs in Arabic are Mabni meaning they are indeclinable - they cannot be changed. Your past is like that it cannot be changed only your present and future can be changed.
13. Abu Hanifah (may Allah show him mercy) said, ‘Whoever finishes the Qur'an twice a year as performed its right.’
14. You will not benefit from the book if you do not respect its author.
15. When you supplicate and raise your hands; your hands are working in conjunction with your heart. As it is better sign of the servant to raise his hands because if he supplicates from just his heart then he is not in unison to his heart. As when these work together does the servant show his true submission; with his whole being.
16. No one lives a life without being tested. But everyone’s tests are different.
17. The greatest cause of blindness is love.
18. If you that there is one scholar deserving of being followed more and not the rest then you have left ijammah.
19. You cannot prove something that is not there. You cannot change something to fit your desires especially not the deen.
20. The greater you hold onto this world, the greater your pain will be when it leaves you.

The Disputations
Twenty six
1. Praise means nothing.
2. True sincerity is that one
performs an action for Allah, not for anything or anyone and not for
recognition even if it works out or does not. That's sincerity.
3. People
praise you because of what they suppose is in you but you should blame yourself
for what you know is in you.
4. Your weakness is your reliance on anything other than Allah
5. The person who walks into the king’s court with a high
head should be careful, he will get his head chopped off. As for the person who
enters the kings court in submission, in humility will remain in the safety and
pleasure of the king.
6. When you rely on something other than Allah get ready for
what you have to be taken away.
7. Rely on Allah in ease and not just in duress.
8. Some people are tried by having something and others are tried by not having it...
9. May Allah bring the lion who murders to justice.
10. Film making is the art of convincing you that
something is happening when actually it is not. Its an art of deception that
manipulates and stimulates your emotions into feeling something that does not
actually exist. None of it is real but yet we are obsessed about them.
11. Being judgmental is displaying the evil of yourself and
not of others.
12. “Our nation was born in genocide when it embraced the
doctrine that the original American, the Indian, was an inferior race. Even
before there were large numbers of Negroes on our shore, the scar of racial
hatred had already disfigured colonial society. From the sixteenth century
forward, blood flowed in battles over racial supremacy. We are perhaps the only
nation which tried as a matter of national policy to wipe out its indigenous
population. Moreover, we elevated that tragic experience into a noble crusade.
Indeed, even today we have not permitted ourselves to reject or feel remorse
for this shameful episode. Our literature, our films, our drama, our folklore
all exalt it. Our children are still taught to respect the violence which
reduced a red-skinned people of an earlier culture into a few fragmented groups
herded into impoverished reservations.”
― John F. Kennedy
13. Every rose has thorns.
14. Sacrifice for the person on the spiritual path is continuous. Not just once a lifetime but every day, every hour, every minute.
15. Allah sees you all the time; how could you commit sins?.
16. What could’ve been was never meant to be.
17. The ears and the eyes are self cleaning but do you keep them clean by using them in the right manner? The gratitude of them is to use them for acts of worship. So be careful that you do not dirty them up.
18. Part of the believers training in the world is that everything has causes. As when they are in paradise there are no causes. When you wish for something you can have it.
19. When you make an intention to be with someone, you are with them.
20. Sometimes I wonder about those people we feel sorry for now because of the suffering they go through. Will they feel sorry for us of the day of judgement when they see what rewards are awaiting them and what rewards are awaiting us?
