Quote

Don't think being 'religious' means becoming harsh or hard. When Allah enters a heart, He softens it--He doesn't harden it.

Its shocking how many people believe hardships are a punishment from God! Every hardship is good for you-if it brings you closer to Him!
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
If you want the love of the people, stop running after it. The more you chase it, the more it escapes you. Love doesn't come from the people. It comes from God.

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
Salah is the first thing we will be asked about on the Day of Judgment, and yet it is the last thing that is on our mind.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
I know you feel worn and tired. I know you're tired of failing. Rest, but don't stop. You can do this. You got this. Not because you're strong, but because He's your strength.
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

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

When the pain overtakes you, reach inside. Gather the broken pieces, and hand them to God. Ask Him to remake your heart. Different, this time. Stronger. More beautiful. This is how we are made, and remade by the Maker.

Give. Even when you know you can get nothing back.

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
There are internal chains and external chains. All the external chains in the world won't enslave you, if you are free inside. And all the external 'freedom' in the world won't liberate you, if you are chained inside. Let go. And you'll know Freedom.
Yasmin Mogahed

When your failures surround you, and all the open doors have closed, look up. There’s a door that never closes, a way, when all the other ways have failed you.
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

You never have to be scared of the trials but of standing alone in the trials without shelter (Allah's help).

The fastest way to heal a broken heart is to find someone better to love, and love more. Know that sometimes heartbreak happens just to push you to God.

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.
