Famous quotes containing the word muslim:

    “For the salvation of his soul the Muslim digs a well. It would be a fine thing if each of us were to leave behind a school, or a well, or something of the sort, so that life would not pass by and retreat into eternity without a trace.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
