• When I was a kid they didn't call it dyslexia. They called it you know, you were slow, or you were retarded, or whatever. What you can never change is the effect that the words 'dumb' and 'stupid' have on young people. I knew I wasn't stupid, and I knew I wasn't dumb. My mother told me that. If you read to me, I could tell you everything that you read. They didn't know what it was. They knew I wasn't lazy, but what was it?

• Parents must begin to discover their children as individuals of developing tastes and views and so help them be, and see, themselves as thinking, feeling people.

• Sometimes I was too tired,
  other times just lazy. Now and then, I was frustrated because nothing seemed to be happening - no
  signs from God, no enlightenment, nothing. But that wasn't the point, the Shaykh explained. What
  mattered was the inner connection with God, which builds slowly and only transforms us gradually.
  Another obstacle, however, was that I often found it hard to concentrate during the dhikr.
