Blessings come in packages of two. With every blessing is a test. So don't ever envy people who seem to have more than you. The more blessings, the more tests. And the greater the blessing, the harder the test.

More quotes by Yasmin Mogahed
When you're faced with a choice, remember this: Everything else will pass away. Your family. Your friends. Your material possessions. Your beauty. Your youth. Your life. And there is only one thing that remains. Ask yourself: Which are you chasing?
Yasmin Mogahed

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.

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
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.
Yasmin Mogahed
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.
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
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
Stop hating on yourself for not being perfect. If God wanted perfection, He would have made you an angel.
Yasmin Mogahed
Be grateful for the wound that pushes you towards God.
Yasmin Mogahed
You refuse to forgive people, and yet on the Day of Judgment you will stand bare, begging Allah to forgive you.
Yasmin Mogahed
Your life is nothing more than a love story. Between you and God. Nothing more. Every person, every experience, every gift, every loss, every pain is sent to your path for one reason and one reason only: to bring you back to Him.
Yasmin Mogahed
Can not the One who gives life to dead land, give life to dead hearts?
