"The story of Karbala is a manifestation of total submission to the will of God. And the first martyr in that story is Muslim bin Aqeel. He truly is an embodiment of the term 'Muslim', submitting himself entirely to God, at the highest level of Imaan."

"People who label themselves 'liberal Muslims' don't realize the meaning of being a Muslim. The word Muslim means total submission to the will of God, and 'liberal' means to be free; to do whatever is desired, even against the will of God. It's a contradictory oxymoron."

"People say 'Oh, so and so item has been mentioned so many times in the Qur'an. Zakat has come so many times, Khums has been mentioned only once.' What are you going to do when you see that Muhammad has been mentioned only 4 times, and Ibrahim has been mentioned 69 times? We will still say Muhammad is Sayyidul Ambiya e Wal Mursaleen."
