Quote

Allah does not withhold to withhold. Remaking the heart was the objective. To remake it, He sometimes breaks it first.

Take care of the hearts of the people, and Allāh will take care of your heart
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 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
The Dunya is like the ocean and our heart is like the ship. If a ship allows the water to enter, it will sink. Just like when we allow the Dunya to enter our heart.

Do you ever wonder why often you can't have the things you want most? Perhaps if you got them in this life, they would distract you from Him. Perhaps He withholds some things that you love in this life to keep your heart from being distracted...and then gives those things to you in the next. Forever.

The poison leaves bit by bit, not all at once. Be patient. You are healing.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
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.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
You keep only what you give...to Him.
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

You put your head on the ground, and in that moment everything was okay.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
If you seek Him, God can raise you up, and replace the darkness of the ocean, with the light of His Sun.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
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.
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.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Sometimes you search so hard for words. You look for a way to interpret the language of this heart and the unspoken bond you feel. But in the end you are left with nothing but silence. And deep down you hope it’s understood.
Yasmin Mogahed

Beware of what you let enter your heart. There will come a day when you'd give anything to remove it.

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.
