“That verily, in the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, for all of mankind, there is a good example, a perfect example for you. A role model that won't let you down.”
“And then there's a real answer, which is that every day when I wake up, I say, what would he, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, do in my situation?”
“When you follow his example, you draw closer to Allah in a way that is guided. It's literally paved for us. The answers have been given. It's just a matter of opening it and studying it.”
