In dunya, the image is always better than the reality. In Jennah, the Reality is better than any image ever could be.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
We die as we lived. Whatever was most important in life, will consume us at death. Whatever attachments we had will become evident then.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Know that transformation sometimes begins with a fall. So never curse the fall. The ground is where humility lives. Take it. Learn it. Breathe it in. And then come back stronger, humbler and more aware of your need for Him. Come back having seen your own nothingness and His greatness.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
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.

People think that tests only come in the form of hardships. Allah also tests us with ease, it's often in the test of ease that we fail most.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
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
Image
Tell this imprisoned soul that it will never be owned. Nothing will ever own you. But God.
Yasmin Mogahed

Like Musa you too will be saved from the Sea. Just look through it and see Him. Then the illusion will crumble and you'll be left with the only Reality: Him.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
This world cannot break you—unless you give it permission. And it cannot own you unless you hand it the keys—unless you give it your heart. And so, if you have handed those keys to dunya for a while—take them back. This isn’t the End. You don’t have to die here. Reclaim your heart and place it with its rightful owner: God.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
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.
