"The Prophet says that God has created everything for you, and He created you for Himself. We're not for this world, rather this world is for us. It is our source of survival. But with blessings come the issue of duty. "

"Islam has an opinion on everything in human life. Sometimes it's general, sometimes specific, and sometimes we have our own choice. But there is a view on all issues."

"I'm asked why does God allow people to starve. World hunger isn't an issue of the Earth's ability to sustain production; the issue is distribution. Stats show that 220 million tons of food is wasted in developed countries alone. Death by starvation isn't a God-made problem; its a man-made problem."
