Always walking along despite the dangers and adversities, despite the injustices and horrors, trusting in God so as not to despair of men and events.

More quotes by Tariq Ramadan
In Islam, rules are important, like the Prophet said innal halaala bayyinun, wa innal haraama bayyinun [what is halal is clear, what is haram is clear]. The goal is not to diminish the importance of rules, but to have the right priorities.
Tariq Ramadan
National politics and elections are dominated by emotions, by lack of self-confidence, by fear of the other, by insecurity, by infection of the body politic by the virus of victimhood.
Tariq Ramadan
If you read the Qur'an with your head, you find repetition. If you read it with your heart, you find depth.
Tariq Ramadan
The suicide bomber who blows up Israeli children cannot transform himself into a martyr. The Palestinian problem is not an Islamic problem.
Tariq Ramadan
A Muslim should be sincerely religious AND politically aware.
Tariq Ramadan
I wrote a call to the contemporary Muslim conscience, saying to the ordinary people that we might not like the video or the cartoons, but that violence certainly isn't the right answer. I don't think laws are going to solve the problem.
Tariq Ramadan
The diversity is the risk of war, the necessity of diversity is mutual respect
Tariq Ramadan
The media is putting a lot of emphasis on the few people that are destroying, while it won't report on the silent majority of people who are constructing, building and trying to find their way.
Tariq Ramadan
There is no faith, without a critical mind
Tariq Ramadan
Political rhetoric leads only to confusion.
Tariq Ramadan
The dogmatic and, therefore, invulnerable core in Islam is understandably simple: acknowledgement of faith, prayer, charity and fasting. Almost everything else is open to interpretation and modification in space and time.
Tariq Ramadan
A true teacher doesn't teach you to think like him, but to think without him.
Tariq Ramadan
When we begin to look around us, to observe individuals and societies, and to study philosophies and religions, we realize that our loneliness is shared. Our solitude is plural, and our singularity is the similarity between us.
Tariq Ramadan
There is One God. We have an epistemic center. There is meaning.
Tariq Ramadan
Our emotions are often beautiful, but they can also be dangerous. They represent our spontaneity, and seem to speak to us of our freedom.
Tariq Ramadan
In 2012, those French Muslim people voted massively for Francois Hollande against Nicolas Sarkozy. With the results of elections getting even tighter, those votes can make the difference. I am obviously not in favour of a community electorate, however, pressure is so great on them that I can easily understand how it can affect their votes.
Tariq Ramadan
This simple truth is the essence of my message to Muslims throughout the world: know who you are, who you want to be, and start talking and working with whom you are not. Find common values and build with fellow citizens a society based on diversity and equality.
Tariq Ramadan
Emancipation can only come from within it cannot be dictated by someone else. A law banning the wearing of headscarves changes nothing, except perhaps external appearance. Naturally, Islamic feminism must also include the right to education, to work and the freedom to select one's own husband.
Tariq Ramadan
I don't think we should take the emotional reactions of a few people as more representative than those of the millions of people who took to the street in a non-violent way against dictators.
Tariq Ramadan
The universality of Islam is not uniformity, it is unity with diversity.
