Omar Suleiman Quotations

One of the challenges for Islamic finance today is that it doesn't have international benchmarks.

Nobody will talk to them before they s top violence, recognize Israel and accept (previous Palestinian-Israeli) agreements,including the road map.

If they don't accept to commit themselves to these issues, nobody will deal with them.

It is hard to convince them to change 180 degrees. I hope it will happen. You know they are very radical and it is hard to convince them.

I think it (suspending aid) will be a punishment for the people, which we don't want.

But the most important prevention is for people to observe hygiene.

Iran will give them the money, I think.

They will also be advised that they should keep all the achievements the Palestinian people have made regarding peace and security.

When Allah loves you, He places the love of you in the hearts of the people whose love is worth having.

Never forget the favors done for you. Always forget the favors you’ve done for others.

When you forget that you need Allah, He puts you in a situation that causes you to call upon him. And that's for your own good..

Sometimes you don't realize how special something is until you lose it. Thats how I feel about Ramadan every year.

When people wear you out, spend some time in isolation with Allah and your relationship with Him will improve as well as with the people.

The sign of a beautiful person is that they always see beauty in others.

Many sisters complain that people don't want to marry them unless they stop wearing hijab. No man is worth your hijab, and a real man wouldn't request you to take it off in the first place.

What you see in other people is a reflection of yourself. A person of goodness sees goodness in others and a person of evil sees evil in others.

Wake up knowing that Allah is greater than any obstacle you may face today.

Allah will never disappoint the sincere caller. Even when you think He hasn’t answered you, He plans in your favor.

Don't make your wedding a pleasant memory in this life but a source of misery in the next. Make it an eternally good memory. In trying to have a halal wedding, you might sacrifice many relationships but the opposite might mean sacrificing the only relationship that will matter in the hereafter for a bunch of people who don't even really care about you. Don't make one night the cause of your regret for an eternity.

Sometimes the person that excites you most isn't necessarily going to make the best husband or wife. It takes a lot to see past the glamor and glitter when you're looking to get married and look for someone who's going to be a loving companion that will stand by your side no matter what and better you while also seeking to be bettered by you.

Being unashamedly Muslim while excelling in whatever you do is of the greatest forms of Dawah.

I tell people this over and over again: don't attach your faith to people. People will come and go. People will disappoint you. People will divulge dark secrets. People will turn out to be the opposite of what you thought. Allah is perfect. His Messenger (peace be upon him) is a perfect example, and the religion is a perfect methodology. Attach yourself to the principles instead of the people. That way no Shaykh going wild or role model going rogue will be able to shake your faith.

Talk to Allah in your own language with your heart fully present. Allah doesn't need you to rhyme or speak arabic.

One thing I've always struggled with in life is loving people too much. It's painful when that love is not reciprocated. But one thing I always comfort myself with is the fact that Allah will always show greater love to those who love Him. Allah doesn't disappoint you so keep your heart attached to Him.

If you're not doing it for Allah, then don't expect any help from Allah.

Your true friends dont shy away from keeping you in check because your wellbeing is more important to them than even your friendship and they'd rather risk offending you than watch you harm yourself.

If you complain that Allah is testing you too much, you're failing the test.

Your success does not depend on the failure of others.

Kind words cost you nothing but are sometimes worth more than a million dollars.

Positive thinking isn't ignoring life's problems, it's understanding that Allah can make a way out for you if you sincerely try.

In trusting Allah, remember that what's best for you might be what's most painful.

Acting humble for people's praise is one of the most dangerous forms of riyaa (showing off).

Sometimes you wish you never met certain people, then you grow and realize that they were a gift in disguise and contributed to making you the person you are.

In order to bring out the best in people, you need to give them your best.

Good friends are hard to find so when you find one, hold on tight!

Love the people you think you'd want to be with in the hereafter.

Sometimes Allah gives you bitterness in this life so that you can further enjoy the sweetness of the hereafter.

When you give, expect nothing from people and everything from Allah.

Imagine if your kids had to carry a ladder to climb an apartheid wall to get to school everyday.

Don't go into Ramadan having hurt anyone without seeking their forgiveness. The last thing you'd want on the day of judgment is to find that your entire Ramadan with all of its quran recitation, fasting, taraweeh prayers, laylatul qadr, etc. went completely to waste because your pride stopped you from saying “I'm sorry”. With that being said, I'm sorry if I've written, said, or done anything to offend you. Please find it in your heart to forgive and make dua that Allah grants me guidance and sincerity.

When you treat people well, those same people might not treat you the same way. But if you pay attention, you'll notice that Allah has sent OTHER people who treat you even better.

Allah is Most Merciful even when He sends us trials, for even His punishment is for our own good.

Renew your intention EVERY day, EVERY time you pray, and EVERY time you are about to do a good deed or else shaytan will lead your heart and mind astray.

Sometimes being let down my a human being is the direct cause for you finding your own strength & depending only on Allah.
