If you allow dunya to own your heart, like the ocean that owns the boat, it will take over. You will sink down to the depths of the sea. You will touch the ocean floor.

More quotes by Yasmin Mogahed
You keep only what you give...to Him.
Yasmin Mogahed
When you're in trouble don't depend on yourself. Don't depend on people. Depend on God.
Yasmin Mogahed
Any beauty you see in me is only a reflection of Him, any ugliness, a reflection of my self.
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
Embrace life and all that God gives you-but never let it contain you. This world is too small to contain you.
Yasmin Mogahed
Times of hardship can act as both an indicator, as well as a cure, for our broken relationship with our Creator.
Yasmin Mogahed
If you want to know what's Real, of love, of life, of loyalty, put it through the greatest test: Time.
Yasmin Mogahed
Hope shouldn’t increase with good deeds and decrease with sin. In good deeds, my hope is for Allah to accept. In sin, my hope is for Allah to forgive.
Yasmin Mogahed
Don't lie to me. Don't deceive me. Give me the truth. Even if it breaks me. A painful truth is better than a pleasant lie.
Yasmin Mogahed
The body has many needs. But the soul has only one: to be with God.
Yasmin Mogahed
We die as we lived. Whatever was most important in life, will consume us at death. Whatever attachments we had will become evident then.
Yasmin Mogahed
When someone hurts you, your first thought may be to wish you had never met them at all. But remember that even those who've hurt you, came into your life for a reason, and left for a reason. It’s for the best and healing starts with acceptance.
Yasmin Mogahed
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
Sigh... I have learned that *everything* is so hard...except what Allah makes easy. So we must *beg* Him to make it easy on us.
Yasmin Mogahed
Ya Allah, envelop our hearts with a shield of your light and mercy, so the pain doesn't penetrate.
Yasmin Mogahed
Never lose hope. Stay close to Allah and when you mess up, go back to Him. Never, ever stop going back to Him. Repent often. Cry to Allah. And hold on tight-with your life-to His remembrance and to prayer. If you do this, you may get wet, but insha Allah never drown in this ocean of dunya.
Yasmin Mogahed
Like Musa you too will be saved from the Sea. Just look through it and see Him. Then the illusion will crumble and you'll be left with the only Reality: Him.
Yasmin Mogahed
We are always looking for signs. We are always asking for God to 'speak' to us. But those signs are all around us. They are in everything. God is always 'speaking'. The question is whether we are listening.
Yasmin Mogahed
You never have to be scared of the trials but of standing alone in the trials without shelter (Allah's help).
Yasmin Mogahed
Shaytan will tell you that you’re not worthy, so give up. But his traps are based on lies. When was any of it because of *your* worth? It was all because of His mercy, His generosity, His love of giving, and forgiving. And those qualities don’t change because you’re messing up. Just seek them. Call Him by His mercy, not by your deeds.
