Many of us rely on our own illusion of control. But when God makes it known to you that you're not the one steering the ship, be thankful. He has removed the illusion, and forced you to rely only on Him.

More quotes by Yasmin Mogahed
Before anything can break your heart, it must first own your heart. Stop handing your heart to dunya-it'll stop breaking it.
Yasmin Mogahed
Times of hardship can act as both an indicator, as well as a cure, for our broken relationship with our Creator.
Yasmin Mogahed
Let your former selves teach you, but never limit or define you
Yasmin Mogahed
I think we seek out people who we hope will fix what our childhood broke.
Yasmin Mogahed
If you wonder how you'll get through this new heartbreak, just think back. Remember all you've been through in the past. And how each time you swore, you'd never get through it. But you did. And look where you're at now. This too shall pass!
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
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
Its shocking how many people believe hardships are a punishment from God! Every hardship is good for you-if it brings you closer to Him!
Yasmin Mogahed
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
Look forward to going back Home. But make sure you're furnishing it.
Yasmin Mogahed
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
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
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.
Yasmin Mogahed
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
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
You never have to be scared of the trials but of standing alone in the trials without shelter (Allah's help).
Yasmin Mogahed
It is in that which you love the most that you find the greatest tests.
Yasmin Mogahed
Be grateful for the wound that pushes you towards God.
Yasmin Mogahed
Ya Allah, envelop our hearts with a shield of your light and mercy, so the pain doesn't penetrate.
Yasmin Mogahed
If you want the love of the people, stop running after it. The more you chase it, the more it escapes you. Love doesn't come from the people. It comes from God.
