More quotes by Yasmin Mogahed
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
I'll tell you the only way to survive: Ask God to place a semi-permeable shield around your heart: One that only allows what He loves to enter.
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
Do not say that every day you spend on this earth is a day closer to dying. Every day you spend on this earth is a day closer to finally living.
Yasmin Mogahed
God tells me to cover myself, to hide my beauty and to tell the world that I’m not here to please men with my body I’m here to please God. God elevates the dignity of a woman’s body by commanding that it be respected and covered, shown only to the deserving - only to the man I marry.
Yasmin Mogahed
Holding on to hope when everything is dark, is the greatest test of faith
Yasmin Mogahed
Embrace life and all that God gives you-but never let it contain you. This world is too small to contain you.
Yasmin Mogahed
My value as a woman is not measured by the size of my waist or the number of men who like me. My worth as a human being is measured on a higher scale: a scale of righteousness and piety. And my purpose in life-despite what fashion magazines say-is something more sublime than just looking good for men.
Yasmin Mogahed
If you study your own struggles, the struggles of others, even in movies or novels you'll see the root of all their suffering is always attachments
Yasmin Mogahed
Can not the One who gives life to dead land, give life to dead hearts?
Yasmin Mogahed
You can’t run in more than one direction at a time. And you will only run in the direction you are facing. So if your heart is facing anything other than Allah, it isn’t Him you’re running towards.
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
We will suffer the moment we take our eyes off the End and get lost in the means.
Yasmin Mogahed
Everything you have is on loan. Foolish is the one who gets attached to a loan.
Yasmin Mogahed
I loved. I lost. So I learned to love what is never lost. Then even what I loved that can be lost was through what cannot be lost...so it was never lost.
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
Everything we do is motivated by love. Even fear and hate are born of love. So be careful what you love.
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
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.
