The one who knows himself isn't deceived by either praise or criticism.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
So often we think that Allah only tests us with hardships, but this isn't true. Allah also tests with ease. He tests us with na`im (blessings) and with the things we love, and it is often in these tests that so many of us fail. We fail because when Allah gives us these blessings, we unwittingly turn them into false idols in the heart.

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.

The body that we tend to is only temporary, while the soul that we neglect is # eternal .

If you want to focus more on Allah in your prayers, focus more on Him outside your prayers.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
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
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
Image
Be careful about wanting what others have. There is always a price. Perhaps God didn’t give it to you, because He knew you wouldn’t be able to pay it.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
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
Image
Embrace life and all that God gives you-but never let it contain you. This world is too small to contain you.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Most of all, we must never be deceived. We must never allow ourselves to think that anything in this world succeeds, fails, is given, taken, done, or undone without Allah. It is only by our connection to our Creator that we rise or fall in life, in our relationship with our world—and with all of humanity.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Just as storms change the landscape of the earth, our hardships change the landscape of the heart.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Stop hating on yourself for not being perfect. If God wanted perfection, He would have made you an angel.
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
Any beauty you see in me is only a reflection of Him, any ugliness, a reflection of my self.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Keep praying, even if you have only a whisper left.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
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
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.
Yasmin Mogahed

Love people for the sake of God, but never love God for the sake of people.

If you want this life to stop breaking your heart, stop giving your heart to this life.
