Tariq Ramadan Quotations | Page 3

The universe is pregnant with signs that recall the presence of the Creator.

Only in the crucible of self-mastery can freedom be smelted

Your country needs religious leaders and religious politicians

If people who cherish freedom, who know the importance of mutual respect and are aware of the imperative necessity to establish a constructive and critical debate, if these people are not ready to speak out, to be more committed and visible, then we can expect sad, painful tomorrows. The choice is ours.

The point for me is people who are atheists or are coming from different religious traditions; they are coming from their own sources and specific roots. We should analyze these.

It is only through the opposition of ideas that we can learn to be self-critical, to work towards intellectual humility.

Mankind must be positively and constructively wary of mankind, of their fellow man, of their families, of the members of their faith community, of their fellow-citizens.

We have to be the media when media is silent

We integrate the good wherever we find it.

There are certain things that we cannot understand, like why we pray five times a day, for example. But the fact that we choose to pray is understandable.
