The Hope of Tomorrow - Unless we become the living embodiment of love and light, we shall have no justification in saying that God is love and light. Unless we use the freedom we have without abusing it, we shall have no justification in saying that man is master of his own soul, the creator of his own destiny, and the arbiter of his own fate. But if we can bind ourselves together reverently, in love and compassion, in mutual tolerance and understanding, under the cohesive powers of the universal law of good and the beneficence of a divine and universal presence, then shall we be able to use the liberty without license, to diffuse unity with uniformity, and to lead the world down the pathway of a new enlightenment.

Trust in Allah and tie up your camel.
