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
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
Sometimes we make duaa for a door of dunya. When it doesn't open, we cry. Not realizing that Allah has instead opened a door of jennah for us.
Yasmin Mogahed
The sin of Kibr (arrogance) is actually worse than many of the sins that we would be advising [other] people about.
Yasmin Mogahed
We are two people. The person inside and the person outside. Sidq (truthfulness) is when they are the same.
Yasmin Mogahed
Sometimes this world comes between us and what we love. But if we are patient, when this world passes away, there will be no more separation.
Yasmin Mogahed
Loss is the returning of what never actually belonged to us in the first place.
Yasmin Mogahed
To me, jennah is the place where you get to be with the people you love, including those you can't always be with in this life. And being with them forever.
Yasmin Mogahed
The body that we tend to is only temporary, while the soul that we neglect is # eternal .
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
When you fall in love with a work of art, you’d die to meet the artist. I am a student of the galleries of Pacific sunsets, full moon rises on the ocean, the clouds from an airplane, autumn forests in Raleigh, first fallen snows. And I’m dying to meet the artist.
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
If you worshipped Muhammad, know that Muhammad is dead. But if you worshipped Allah, know that Allah never dies.
Yasmin Mogahed
Everything is as it should be. God's design is perfect.
Yasmin Mogahed
If you're having trouble waking up for fajr, set your alarm to play Quran. It works!
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
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.
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
Allah manages everything in the heavens and earth—the sun, the moon, the stars—with perfection, and yet we don’t trust Him to manage our lives!
Yasmin Mogahed
Allah is al-Kareem, so if He withholds from you it is not on account of stinginess. It is on account of His generosity. He withholds to give.
Yasmin Mogahed
Don't think being 'religious' means becoming harsh or hard. When Allah enters a heart, He softens it--He doesn't harden it.
