More quotes by Yasmin Mogahed
You've been given status today, but never forget where you came from. You came from dirt and will return to dirt. You will be on that day as you began: just you and Him.
Yasmin Mogahed
There will come a day when a person would be willing to give everything they ever loved, everything they ever owned, everything they ever chased in this life, everything between the heavens and earth...just for the chance to come back here and make just one sajdah (prostration). Just one.
Yasmin Mogahed
You refuse to forgive people, and yet on the Day of Judgment you will stand bare, begging Allah to forgive you.
Yasmin Mogahed
We will be asked, what did you love most in this world? What did you spend life doing? What did you run after? Will it last? The things that you chased, will they last? Will they help you, or will they hurt you when the illusion of this life has passed?
Yasmin Mogahed
Know that transformation sometimes begins with a fall. So never curse the fall.
Yasmin Mogahed
My value as a woman is not measured by the size of my waist or the number of men who like me. My worth as a human being is measured on a higher scale: a scale of righteousness and piety. And my purpose in life-despite what fashion magazines say-is something more sublime than just looking good for men.
Yasmin Mogahed
When someone shows you their heart, their past, their wounds, they have entrusted you with the deepest part of themselves. It is the part of themselves that makes them uniquely beautiful. To be trusted in this way is a great honor. Guard that trust with your life.
Yasmin Mogahed
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.
Yasmin Mogahed
Tear your heart out of your chest. And hand it to God. There is no other healing. I swear, there is no other healing
Yasmin Mogahed
When you Rectify your Relationship with the Creator, He Rectifies your relationship with All of the Creation.
Yasmin Mogahed
Let your former selves teach you, but never limit or define you
Yasmin Mogahed
Do you struggle with confusion? Not knowing which way to go? Here's why: We turn to means (help of creation, our own mind) before turning to God.
Yasmin Mogahed
People think that tests only come in the form of hardships. Allah also tests us with ease, it's often in the test of ease that we fail most.
Yasmin Mogahed
If there is one recipe for unhappiness it is that: expectations.
Yasmin Mogahed
Don't ever be afraid of giving. Give. Give of your time, your forgiveness, your understanding, your love. Give of your money. Give to the creation, and you'll be given by the Creator. Be generous, and the Most Generous will be generous with you.
Yasmin Mogahed
Tell this imprisoned soul that it will never be owned. Nothing will ever own you. But God.
Yasmin Mogahed
The body that we tend to is only temporary, while the soul that we neglect is # eternal .
Yasmin Mogahed
If you're having trouble waking up for fajr, set your alarm to play Quran. It works!
Yasmin Mogahed
Arrogance is actually just ignorance. Ignorance of what you really are in relation to the world-but most of all in relation to God.
Yasmin Mogahed
This world cannot break you—unless you give it permission. And it cannot own you unless you hand it the keys—unless you give it your heart. And so, if you have handed those keys to dunya for a while—take them back. This isn’t the End. You don’t have to die here. Reclaim your heart and place it with its rightful owner: God.
