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.

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.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Do your part, but stop trying to steer your destiny. You're not in charge.

You keep only what you give...to Him.

When you're in trouble don't depend on yourself. Don't depend on people. Depend on God.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
What's given to dunya is lost forever. What's given to Allah is never lost. If you give what you love, for the sake of what He loves, you'll have what you love forever.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Sometimes people have nothing to say because they're too empty. And sometimes people have nothing to say because they're too full.
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

Sometimes the gifts of God aren't wrapped as we expect.
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
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.

To empty the heart does not mean to not love. On the contrary, true love, as God intented it, is purest when it is not based on a false attachment. The process of first emptying the heart can be found in the beginning half of the shahada (declaration of faith).
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.
Yasmin Mogahed
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?

Tawbah is the cleaning of the heart, dhikr is the feeding of the heart.

Compassion is to look beyond your own pain, to see the pain of others.
Yasmin Mogahed

Times of hardship can act as both an indicator, as well as a cure, for our broken relationship with our Creator.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
If you want to kill something, neglect it. It happens in both good and bad. Neglect a relationship, it dies. Neglect your iman, it dies. But the same principal applies when you want to kill something like a thought or a desire. Neglect it, it dies.

Leaving the people and places you love, is a reminder of the impermanence of this life. And the permanence of the next.

Image
Yes, the heart breaks. But, it also heals.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
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.
