When we think about Albert Einstein, most of us think about a great scientist. Take a few minutes and read “The World As I See It” and you will learn that he is a philosopher and a good writer too.
Write to write. Write because you need to write. Write to settle the rage within you. Write with an internal purpose. Write about something or someone that means so much to you, that you don’t care what others think.

“That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you’re not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.”
-F. Scott Fitzgerald.
If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old.
If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight.
Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change.
Have no regrets.
A man came to Aisha (ra) and asked: “When will I know that I am pious?” She said: “When you realize that you are a sinner.” He said: “And when will I realize I am a sinner?” She replied: “When you think you are pious.”
“Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. The moments that used to define them- a mother’s approval, a father’s nod- are covered by moments of their own accomplishments. It is not until much later, as the skin sags and the heart weakens, that children understand; their stories and all their accomplishments, sit atop the stories of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones, beneath the waters of their lives.”

“You will never give up a thing for the sake of Allah (swt), but that Allah will replace it for you with something that is better for you than it.”
(Ahmad)
The more you give in to desires, the more difficult and cumbersome this dunya becomes. By Allah, there is dignity in halaal. By Allah, there is peace in sacrificing for the sake of Allah. By Allah, there is happiness in giving up the doubtful for the love of your Lord!
“To some Islam is merely a set of rules and regulations; To others, it is a perfect vision of life” -Yasmine Mogahed.
Abdullah bin ‘Abbas, radiAllahu ‘anhuma, reported:
One day I was behind the Prophet (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) and he said to me:
“O young man, I shall teach you some words [of advice] : Be mindful of Allah, and Allah will protect you. Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you. If you (have need to) ask, ask of Allah; and if you seek help, seek help from Allah. Know that even if the Nation (or the whole community) were to gather together to benefit you with something, they would not benefit you with anything except that which Allah has already recorded for you, and that if they gather together to harm you with something, they would not be able to harm you with anything except that which Allah has already recorded against you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.”
