You can search the world over, but you won’t find happiness until you realize that happiness isn’t getting what you want. It’s being content with what you already have.

Image
You have trouble feeling alive, so you stab your own heart just to feel something. It was the emptiness that was killing you. You created the sadness and the fear to fill it.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
The enduring life is the one that begins once we awaken from this world. And it is in that awakening that we realize... It was only a dream
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
My Nafs screams out for what it desires. But my will to be free screams louder.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
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.

Let your former selves teach you, but never limit or define you

Everything you have is on loan. Foolish is the one who gets attached to a loan.

Everything is as it should be. God's design is perfect.

Time of difficulty test our faith, our fortitude and our strenght. During these times, the level of our imaan becomes manifest

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!

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
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.

Speak your heart. If they don't understand, the message was never meant for them anyway.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
The people will come and go. Sometimes they'll be there for you. Sometimes they wont. Some will love you, some will not. This tide was never meant to be still. Step away from time to time. And know that only a heart fixed on the unmoving spot can ride the waves of this ever-changing, ever-fading life.

He chose better for me, He always chooses better

Embrace life and all that God gives you-but never let it contain you. This world is too small to contain you.

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.

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

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.

Can not the One who gives life to dead land, give life to dead hearts?
