Love isn't supposed to torment you. If it does, there's probably something wrong.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Your heart is sacred land. Don't let just anything enter it. Guard it with your life.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
This world isn't perfect. That means it isn't perfectly good but it isn't perfectly bad, either. The ease comes with the hardship. Shift the focus of what you see, and your experience of this life will change.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Know that transformation sometimes begins with a fall. So never curse the fall. The ground is where humility lives. Take it. Learn it. Breathe it in. And then come back stronger, humbler and more aware of your need for Him. Come back having seen your own nothingness and His greatness.

Image
There's a special place in my heart for the ones who were with me at my lowest and still loved me when I wasn't very loveable.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
If you wonder how you'll get through this new heartbreak, just think back. Remember all you've been through in the past. And how each time you swore, you'd never get through it. But you did. And look where you're at now. This too shall pass!

If you want to know what's Real, of love, of life, of loyalty, put it through the greatest test: Time.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
I loved. I lost. So I learned to love what is never lost. Then even what I loved that can be lost was through what cannot be lost...so it was never lost.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Our first and true home was Paradise: a land that is both perfect and eternal. So the yearning for that type of life is a part of our being. The problem is that we try to find that here. And so we create ageless creams and cosmetic surgery in a desperate attempt to hold on-in an attempt to mold this world into what it is not, and will never be.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
T]here is no other purpose of my existence except to know, love and get closer to God. This is the one and only reason why I was created. And this is the most essential realization, as it defines everything else I do or believe. It defines all things around me, and everything I experience in life.

If you're having trouble waking up for fajr, set your alarm to play Quran. It works!

If you think you're too far from Allah to return, and your 'past' continues to own you, just remember that Malik ibn Dinar (RA) was an alcoholic, and Omar (RA) was on his way to assassinate the Prophet (pbuh) before they became two of the greatest souls to walk the earth!

Allah does not withhold to withhold. Remaking the heart was the objective. To remake it, He sometimes breaks it first.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Do you ever wonder why often you can't have the things you want most? Perhaps if you got them in this life, they would distract you from Him. Perhaps He withholds some things that you love in this life to keep your heart from being distracted...and then gives those things to you in the next. Forever.

If you worshipped Muhammad, know that Muhammad is dead. But if you worshipped Allah, know that Allah never dies.

Don’t you think there’s a problem when we live in a society that considers a woman’s greatest accomplishment being pretty for a man?
