Marriage Life In Islam Quotes & Sayings

It is always difficult to make the transition to a modern world.

No matter how difficult or painful life sometimes becomes, we must never lose faith.

'If you are patient and steadfast, then you will be rewarded, insha' Allah. — Kristiane Backer

The question is whether they can find a way out and remain what they are. To adapt themselves to real life, they borrow from each other. Christianity , which has become a church, began to talk about work, wealth, power, education, science, marriage, laws, social justice, and so forth. And materialism , on the other hand, which became socialism or an order, a state, speaks about humanism , morality, art, creation, justice, responsibility, freedom and so forth. — Alija Izetbegovic
