"Words have to be understood in the proper context, and the hadith, in order to understand the Qur'an properly. You can't simply look at the translation and come to a conclusion."

"To carry the name shia as an identity mark is one thing. But to live up to it is something else."

"The concept of charity and giving in Islam isn't only restricted to Muslims."

"The Yazidi sect, an Iraqi minority, is being persecuted at the hands of ISIS, inside a Shia majority country. Ay. Sistani remarks that this minority is 'a trust from God on our shoulders. As Muslims we must protect this minority.' It's important to note that after his remarks & meetings, a delegation mentioned that they don't feel that they have to leave Iraq to seek compassion. What he did was basically follow the example of his Imam, whose shrine is right there in Najaf."

"When I was approached by the Mosaic interfaith group years ago, for us joining a winter shelter program, I welcomed it strongly and encouraged the community to help. Initially the responses were 'They're kafir, they're najis, we're going to feed the kafirs?' My response was that at least trust me this much, have confidence that what I decide isn't against the Shariah. Otherwise I need replacing with someone more knowledgeable. Alhamdulillah this program has now been going for 15 years, and is a source of pride for the community. It's one way of visibly showing we're not only takers, we also contribute to the general welfare of society; whether Muslim or non-Muslim."
