Your Conduct ...

"The most upright among you are those who carry themselves with the finest conduct."

-The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), as reported by Abd'Allah bin Amr

Women in Islam ...

If anyone asks why Rabi'a is ranked equal with men, we reply that Muhammad, the chief of prophets, said, "God does not judge you by your outward forms. It is not outward form that matters, but inner intention." Moreover, since we derive much of our religion from Muhammad's wife Aisha, then it is right to take spiritual inspiration from a woman. When a woman is on the path of God, it is not appropriate to define her by her womanhood.

-Attar, "Rabi'a"

From "366 Readings From Islam," translated by Robert Van der Weyer

Two kinds of people ...

Allah exalted two kinds of people above others: those who spend in the cause of the Truth, and the judicious who impart their wisdom to others.

-The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), as reported by Nayeem bin Mas'ud
