More quotes by Tariq Ramadan
Islam came to teach us that there is no faith without intelligence and here we are: destroying our intelligence in the name of faith.
Tariq Ramadan
The problem with Salafis is that they are religiously sincere and politically naïve. And they allow themselves to be supported by people who have no religious sincerity but who are politically very smart, especially when it comes to their economic interests.
Tariq Ramadan
Your sensitivity is power. Don't let people transform your qualities into weaknesses.
Tariq Ramadan
You cannot limit the debate to being solely in favour or against. It should be more complex. When you condemn, you need to understand what led to it. In general, if it is our responsibility to condemn terrorist actions after they had happened, we have an even greater responsibility beforehand to make sure they won't happen.
Tariq Ramadan
The universality of Islam is not uniformity, it is unity with diversity.
Tariq Ramadan
I think that political parties are fuelling this fear in order to create divisions. The more we bring up fear, the more we neglect real political issues. Political debate in France is crumbling since every single issue is brought to Islam now.
Tariq Ramadan
We should know that the American administration is very much involved with the Egyptian army. And when you talk about the Egyptian army, we don't only talk about, you know, political power, we talk about economic power.
Tariq Ramadan
Very often we talk about India and China, but not really Malaysia and Indonesia. The potential in the shift to the East is going to be great and very important for this country.
Tariq Ramadan
Saying that the origin of the Islamic State (IS) is within the Muslim Brotherhood organisation only strengthens IS.
Tariq Ramadan
Islam doesn't need reform, we need to reform the Muslim mind.
Tariq Ramadan
Stand up for your values, be courageous and humble
Tariq Ramadan
There is nothing more Islamic than critical thinking.
Tariq Ramadan
The diversity is the risk of war, the necessity of diversity is mutual respect
Tariq Ramadan
I can see both trends among the youths: people who are ready for a constructive, critical and active presence, and others who are ready to become invisible Muslims and to compromise to be accepted. I put my hope in the former and pray for the latter.
Tariq Ramadan
We must master our egoism, and through this mastery, step outside ourselves and educate ourselves in giving. Fasting requires that we rediscover all that is alive around us, and reconcile ourselves with our environment.
Tariq Ramadan
Man is certainly free, but he is responsible for this freedom before God as before men. This responsibility is inevitably moral. In order of this morality, to be free is to protect the freedom of others and their dignities.
Tariq Ramadan
There is no faith, without a critical mind
Tariq Ramadan
I believe my religion is the truth, but I am not the truth and the truth doesn't belong to me I'm trying to belong to the truth.
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
One does not always know how to express the sorrow of the soul. One does not always know how to silence the joy of the heart.
