QUOTES
- "I think it's very similar to the gym. You don't get better You get better through repetition, just like with the roofing jobs. I'm sure your first roofing job was horrible, just like everyone else's. But I think with experience, you just build this eye for it, and you just learn how to spot things out, get different angles, put a story together. And then it's all repetition, I believe." - Abdullah Jamil
- “Fasting is really good for your body as well, but another thing is for you to appreciate the food that we have. Because we're extremely, really lucky to have this much food in America.” - Derek Skubisz
- “The beautiful part about Islam is that God says that He created all of us as sinners. If we all were to stop sinning, He would replace us with sinners, because that's our human nature. But I feel like the thing that people miss about our religion is not how badly you sin, but how sincerely you repent. Because God wants you to keep coming back to him and keep repenting, keep building that relationship with him.” - Abdullah Jamil
