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.

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.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
When we can’t marry the person we had in mind, our inability to look beyond may even blind sight us from someone who is in fact better for us. When we don’t get hired, or we lose something dear to us, it’s hard to take a step back and notice the bigger picture. Often Allah takes things away from us, only to replace them with something greater.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
We will suffer the moment we take our eyes off the End and get lost in the means.
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.

As a Muslim woman, I’ve been liberated from a silent kind of bondage. I don’t answer to the slaves of God on earth. I answer to their King.

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
Image
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

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
I know you feel worn and tired. I know you're tired of failing. Rest, but don't stop. You can do this. You got this. Not because you're strong, but because He's your strength.

Image
When you're faced with a choice, remember this: Everything else will pass away. Your family. Your friends. Your material possessions. Your beauty. Your youth. Your life. And there is only one thing that remains. Ask yourself: Which are you chasing?

In dunya, the image is always better than the reality. In Jennah, the Reality is better than any image ever could be.

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.

Your beauty is in your sensitivity. Don't let anyone take it from you

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

When you have friends, don’t expect your friends to fill your emptiness. When you get married, don’t expect your spouse to fulfill your every need. When you’re an activist, don’t put your hope in the results. When you’re in trouble don’t depend on yourself. Don’t depend on people. Depend on God.
