More quotes by Yasmin Mogahed
Try not to confuse attachment with love. Attachment is about fear and dependency, and has more to do with love of self than love of another. Love without attachment is the purest love because it isn't about what others can give you because your empty. It is about what you can give others because you're already full.
Yasmin Mogahed
There will come a day when a person would be willing to give everything they ever loved, everything they ever owned, everything they ever chased in this life, everything between the heavens and earth...just for the chance to come back here and make just one sajdah (prostration). Just one.
Yasmin Mogahed

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

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
It is in that which you love the most that you find the greatest tests.
Yasmin Mogahed
Love isn't supposed to torment you. If it does, there's probably something wrong.
Yasmin Mogahed
Just as storms change the landscape of the earth, our hardships change the landscape of the heart.
Yasmin Mogahed

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
Some people may complicate it for you, but the formula is simple: Love God more than anything else. More than your ego. More than your money. More than your desires...More than your sleep at dawn. Love God more than anything else, and submission comes natural. Love God more than anything else, and all goodness will follow.
Yasmin Mogahed
There is meaning in all things. But are you paying attention?
Yasmin Mogahed
Ya Allah, envelop our hearts with a shield of your light and mercy, so the pain doesn't penetrate.

Tell this imprisoned soul that it will never be owned. Nothing will ever own you. But God.
Yasmin Mogahed
Leaving the people and places you love, is a reminder of the impermanence of this life. And the permanence of the next.
