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
There's a special place in my heart for the ones who were with me at my lowest and still loved me when I wasn't very loveable.

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.

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.

If you want to focus more on Allah in your prayers, focus more on Him outside your prayers.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
You cried when He took away your drop of water, not knowing He'd saved for you, the sea.

Image
You keep running after the love of the people, but you’ll never get it. And what you do get, will never be enough. The hole inside you is too big. You see, it was made by God, for God. How could anything less fill it?

Image
Resilience is very different than being numb. Resilience means you experience, you feel, you fail, you hurt. You fall. But, you keep going.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
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.

Your worship is not a gift from you to God. It is a gift from God to you.

Image
Everything we do is motivated by love. Even fear and hate are born of love. So be careful what you love.
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
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
Image
Break in the hands of God, He'll unbreak you. Break in the hands of people, you'll remain forever broken. Break to no one, your heart will remain hard.
