When you have friends, don’t expect your friends to fill your emptiness. When you get married, don’t expect your spouse to fulfill your every need. When you’re an activist, don’t put your hope in the results. When you’re in trouble don’t depend on yourself. Don’t depend on people. Depend on God.

Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Don't worry about what the people say. Sometimes they'll praise you. Sometimes they'll condemn you. All these things all fade away. And in the end, Allah takes care of everything. Perfectly.

Try not to confuse attachment with love. Attachment is about fear and dependency, and has more to do with love of self than love of another. Love without attachment is the purest love because it isn't about what others can give you because your empty. It is about what you can give others because you're already full.

If you want to kill something, neglect it. It happens in both good and bad. Neglect a relationship, it dies. Neglect your iman, it dies. But the same principal applies when you want to kill something like a thought or a desire. Neglect it, it dies.

Yasmin Mogahed

Blessings come in packages of two. With every blessing is a test. So don't ever envy people who seem to have more than you. The more blessings, the more tests. And the greater the blessing, the harder the test.
Yasmin Mogahed

Give. Even when you know you can get nothing back.

The sin of Kibr (arrogance) is actually worse than many of the sins that we would be advising [other] people about.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Oh my heart, there is another way to love. Do not love the gift for what the gift is. Love the gift for Who it came from.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Don't expect your spouse to be perfect. He/she is only the dunya version of themselves. Their 'perfect' version is saved for jennah.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
There are some people who could hear you speak a thousand words, and still not understand you... And there are others who will understand - without you even speaking a word.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Love isn't supposed to torment you. If it does, there's probably something wrong.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Oh external worshiper, know that worship without heart is motions. Oh seeker of knowledge, know that knowledge without purification is a dangerous weapon of the ego. Oh activist, know that work without orientation of heart is fruitless. Oh lover, know that love without God is pain.
