“يبدو اننا جميعا بحاجة كي نؤمن بأحد ما أو شيء ما. فالحياة دون معنى او اتجاه بائسة حقا. ويبدو
انه يتوجب ان نحيا من اجل هدف او شيء ما عزيز علينا ونموت من اجله، سواء كان هذا الهدف او الشيء مبدأ سياسي او خطة حياتية او أمة او
حلما او فكرة او مالا او اسرة. اعتقد ان التقديس هو جبلة في الانسان، وأن قدرنا هو أن نكون عبيدا سواء شئنا ذلك ام ابينا.”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“والإسلام هو عقيدة الرجل الذي يفكر.”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“النقطة المهمة ليست في وجوب أن يعرف الإنسان الله ويعبده، بل هي أنه يجب على الإنسان أن يختار بحرية تامة أن يعرف الله ويعبده.”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“ من الخطأ الجسيم الإنقياد بطاعة عمياء للأقدمين ،،، وأن تؤيد آراؤهم وكأنها العقيد نفسها ،،،
إلا إذا كان لدى المرء الإستعدادد للقبول بالتوقف عن النمو ،،، وبالتالي اللإهتراء وعدم التجدد ”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“even in our most intense worship, we should not forget that our relationship to god is tied to our relationship with others.”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“I told her that we go to work to provide for our families, attend school functions that our children are involved in, take a few pieces of cake we just baked over to our neighbor next door, drive our children to school in the morning. “No! No!” She said. “How do you worship?” I said we make love to our spouses, smile and greet someone we pass on the street, help our children with their homework, hold open a door for someone behind us. “Worship! I’m asking about worship!” She exclaimed. I asked her exactly what she had in mind. “You know-Rituals!” She insisted. I answered her that we practice those also and that they are a very important part of Muslim worship. I was not trying to frustrate her, but I answered her in this way in order to emphasize Islam’s comprehensive conception of worship.”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“ في لحظة من اللحظات الخاصة في حياتنا - لحظة لم نتنبأ من قبل أن نمر بها عندما نكبر_منَّ الله بواسع من علمه ورحمته وعطفه علينا_،،،
بعد أن وجد فينا من العذاب ما نكابد ،،، ومن الألم ما نشعر به ،،، ومن عظيم الحاجة إلى ملء الخواء الكبير الروحي في أنفسنا ،،،
وبعد أن وجد لدينا الإستعداد الكبير لقبول ذلك ،،،
وعلى كل حال فقد حقق الله لنا ذلك ،،،
فله الشكر والمنة إلى يوم الدين ”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“إن الإسلام في السعودية قد توقف أن يكون قوة للتغيير الشخصي, وسرعان ما شعرت أن الحيوية قد نبضت من إيماني.”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“ويبدو أن كل مجتمع يثبت شرفه و أعرافه و تقاليده و استقراره على نسائه, ولذلك إذا ما خرجت الأنثى عن الخط تفتح أبواب الحجيم, وتدور الدوائر على ذلك المجتمع.”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“Personal ignorance should be admitted, but it should not be allowed to place limits and bounds on the ways 'and means of revelation.”

“تتملك الدكتور لانغ الشجاعة ليقترح أن على كل جيل من المسلمين أن يعيد البحث في أساسيات الإيمان على اعتبار "أن المعرفة تنمو مع الزمن.”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“ومع ذلك فإني أكره أن أرى بحث أولادي منتهياً حيث انتهيت, بل إن أملي الكبير هو أن يبدؤوا من حيث أنتهي, وذلك لأنه ليس ثمة جواب نهائي و كامل لأي إنسان.”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“و هدف المسلم المؤمن هو أن يُصبح باستمرار مُتلقياً و مُرسلاً لبهاء الله المطلق، و أن يقترب ما استطاع من مصدر كل ما هو جميل، و أن يقبل أن يكون رسولاً لمن له الأسماء الحُسنى، و من هنا يكون بحق خليفة الله على الأرض كما جاء في الآية الثلاثين من سورة البقرة”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“فى حين أن نموّنا ما قبل الولادة هو نموّ جسدى بالدرجة الأولى ,فإن تطورنا الدنيوي هو بشكل رئيسي تطور أخلاقي وروحى”

“Though I had fallen in love with Narian a long time ago, I was continually learning more about him. I'd always been familiar with his principles and his personality, but it was the little things that made a human being. Little things like how he was not accustomed to sharing his space-had I not been forced to hide in his bedroom during his exchange with the High Priestess, I would not yet have seen it. There are other things, as well. He was nearly fluent in three languages in addition to our own; he absolutely could not sleep on his back; and he didn't now how to handle being irritated with me.”
― Cayla Kluver, quote from Sacrifice
“«Linkeree does what he likes. He likes to be alone and think his own thoughts. No one is hurt by it.» Sara said, «Jason said that we are one people. Linkeree is saying he does not want to be part of us, and if he is not part of us then we are all less than we were.» They were both very wise. It would be so much easier for Kapock if they had only agreed with each other.”

Blood SlaveBookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
