Always Remember Allah Quotes & Sayings

At the same time the Muslims are commanded to exercise self-restraint as much as possible. Force
is a dangerous weapon. It may have to be used for self-defense or self-preservation, but we must

should be for a principle not out of passion. — Abdullah Yusuf Ali
