Quote

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.

Yes, the heart breaks. But, it also heals.

Compassion is to look beyond your own pain, to see the pain of others.

Never lose hope. Stay close to Allah and when you mess up, go back to Him. Never, ever stop going back to Him. Repent often. Cry to Allah. And hold on tight-with your life-to His remembrance and to prayer. If you do this, you may get wet, but insha Allah never drown in this ocean of dunya.

Yasmin Mogahed
Image
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.

Ignoring a Reality doesn't make it less Real. It's still going to happen. Being unprepared for something doesn't stop it from happening.

Image
To me, jennah is the place where you get to be with the people you love, including those you can't always be with in this life. And being with them forever.

The body has many needs. But the soul has only one: to be with God.
Yasmin Mogahed

Image
Sigh... I have learned that *everything* is so hard...except what Allah makes easy. So we must *beg* Him to make it easy on us.
