Let us live as people who are prepared to die, and die as people who are prepared to live.

Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved.

The noblest life is the one laid down for another.

Self-sacrifice is the real miracle out of which all the reported miracles grow

Say: Surely my prayer and my sacrifice and my life and my death are (all) for Allah, the Lord of the worlds. (The Cattle 6.162)

Life is rather a state of embryo, a preparation for life; a man is not completely born till he has passed through death
