Before anything can break your heart, it must first own your heart. Stop handing your heart to dunya-it'll stop breaking it.

More quotes by Yasmin Mogahed
Keep praying, even if you have only a whisper left.
Yasmin Mogahed
Allah does not withhold to withhold. Remaking the heart was the objective. To remake it, He sometimes breaks it first.
Yasmin Mogahed
This pain in your heart was created to make you yearn less for this life. And to yearn more for jennah. Allahu akbar
Yasmin Mogahed
Hope shouldn’t increase with good deeds and decrease with sin. In good deeds, my hope is for Allah to accept. In sin, my hope is for Allah to forgive.
Yasmin Mogahed
He chose better for me, He always chooses better
Yasmin Mogahed
Don't expect your spouse to be perfect. He/she is only the dunya version of themselves. Their 'perfect' version is saved for jennah.
Yasmin Mogahed
When you're in trouble don't depend on yourself. Don't depend on people. Depend on God.
Yasmin Mogahed
Beware of what you let enter your heart. There will come a day when you'd give anything to remove it.
Yasmin Mogahed
If you worshipped Muhammad, know that Muhammad is dead. But if you worshipped Allah, know that Allah never dies.
Yasmin Mogahed
Don't ever be afraid of giving. Give. Give of your time, your forgiveness, your understanding, your love. Give of your money. Give to the creation, and you'll be given by the Creator. Be generous, and the Most Generous will be generous with you.
Yasmin Mogahed
If you allow dunya to own your heart, like the ocean that owns the boat, it will take over. You will sink down to the depths of the sea. You will touch the ocean floor.
Yasmin Mogahed
We will be asked, what did you love most in this world? What did you spend life doing? What did you run after? Will it last? The things that you chased, will they last? Will they help you, or will they hurt you when the illusion of this life has passed?
Yasmin Mogahed
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
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
This world isn't perfect. That means it isn't perfectly good but it isn't perfectly bad, either. The ease comes with the hardship. Shift the focus of what you see, and your experience of this life will change.
Yasmin Mogahed
Some hearts understand each other, even in silence.
Yasmin Mogahed
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
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.
Yasmin Mogahed
Leaving the people and places you love, is a reminder of the impermanence of this life. And the permanence of the next.
Yasmin Mogahed
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.
