Quote

I am certainly not a good Muslim. But I am able now to say that I am Muslim; in fact it is a source of happiness to say that I am now inside, and a part of the community whose values have always been closest to my heart.

Every religion is good that teaches man to be good; and I know of none that instructs him to be bad.

To make 'depression' synonymous with 'dangerous' is as bad as saying 'Muslim' is synonymous with 'terrorist.'

I think people, especially in the Muslim community, are rightly cautious any time you hear, 'Oh, there's going to be a Muslim character.'

I know one thing: There are a billion Islamic people in the world today, and there will be about 2 billion by the time we're dead. They're not going to give up their religion.

As recently as the September 11 event, the majority of Muslims were, as the rest of the world was, against its violence. However, if despair and humiliation continue in the population of more than one billion Muslims, the world will face increasing risks of conflicts and wars.

I'm a religious, spiritual person, but if there is good in the world, there must be evil, too.

Know one knows whether death, which people fear to be the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good.

Do not look down upon any Muslim, for even the most inferior believer is great in the eyes of God.

There is good and there is bad in every human heart, and it is the struggle of life to conquer the bad with the good.
