Image
The traveler walks through many mirages before he finds water.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
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
Image
Don’t despair if your heart has been through a lot of trauma. Sometimes that’s how beautiful hearts are remade: they are shattered first.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Let your former selves teach you, but never limit or define you
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.

Holding on to hope when everything is dark, is the greatest test of faith
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
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
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.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
When I need God most, He comes to me the fastest and closest. When I need the creation most, they run from me the fastest and farthest.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Allah does not withhold to withhold. Remaking the heart was the objective. To remake it, He sometimes breaks it first.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Sometimes I think life's only mission is to bring us to our knees...the perfect position to seek God.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
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
Image
Tell this imprisoned soul that it will never be owned. Nothing will ever own you. But God.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
If you seek Him, God can raise you up, and replace the darkness of the ocean, with the light of His Sun.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
You put your head on the ground, and in that moment everything was okay.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
T]here is no other purpose of my existence except to know, love and get closer to God. This is the one and only reason why I was created. And this is the most essential realization, as it defines everything else I do or believe. It defines all things around me, and everything I experience in life.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
You've been given status today, but never forget where you came from. You came from dirt and will return to dirt. You will be on that day as you began: just you and Him.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
What's given to dunya is lost forever. What's given to Allah is never lost. If you give what you love, for the sake of what He loves, you'll have what you love forever.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Break in the hands of God, He'll unbreak you. Break in the hands of people, you'll remain forever broken. Break to no one, your heart will remain hard.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
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.
