You will surely be tested in your wealth and your lives. And you will hear from those given the scriptures before you and from the idolaters much abuse. If you patiently persevere, and remain mindful [of Allah], surely in this is a manifestation of firm resolve. Al-Qur'an, 3:186

"Verily this religion is inexorable, so enter its depth gently (Ahmad, 12618); if you try to seize it all at once, it will overpower you" (Bukhari, 39).


"Don't be in a hurry to condemn because he doesn't do what you do or think as you think or as fast. There was a time when you didn't know what you know today." Malcolm X

"...intelligent, educated, Western Muslim Gen X and Gen Y is in danger of making the diyn about our social causes. Although there might be truth to the idea above (too withdrawn from society), I think it must be said that … well, Traditionals or Sufis or Salafis or Whoeveris are not on the Earth for us to practice stomping all over. There is nothing wrong with being gentle and kindhearted and having adab and respect for one another when we raise these issues. Sarcasm, my friends, is not fardh; rather, it is blameworthy (and I am the most blameworthy!!!).

Don’t let your misbaha be an accessory denoting which “group” you’re from (or more accurately, not from). Don’t let your passions and convictions for issue X take you past the boundaries of adab. Those organizers, scholars, regular people we criticize are Muslims like us, not the enemy. Don’t let your wird or tariqa be your excuse to close your eyes to the people. We are people of the middle way. Seek the balance… although if you tilt a bit towards the inward (fight against the wrongs of your nafs before the wrongs of your masjid board)… perhaps that’s not a bad thing.
