Quote

Don't lie to me. Don't deceive me. Give me the truth. Even if it breaks me. A painful truth is better than a pleasant lie.

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
When someone hurts you, your first thought may be to wish you had never met them at all. But remember that even those who've hurt you, came into your life for a reason, and left for a reason. It’s for the best and healing starts with acceptance.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Happiness, sadness, loss and gain all pass away. What they do to us is what remains.
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.

Image
Take care of the hearts you've been entrusted with. Once lost, they can be lost from you forever.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
My laughter won't last forever but neither will my tears. We say this life isn't perfect. And it isn't. It isn't perfectly good. But, it also isn't perfectly bad, either.
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.

Image
Stop trying to make this life into what it cannot and never was intended to be: jennah. Only then will it stop breaking your heart.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
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 you're in trouble don't depend on yourself. Don't depend on people. Depend on God.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Keep praying, even if you have only a whisper left.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Arrogance is actually just ignorance. Ignorance of what you really are in relation to the world-but most of all in relation to God.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
To empty the heart does not mean to not love. On the contrary, true love, as God intented it, is purest when it is not based on a false attachment. The process of first emptying the heart can be found in the beginning half of the shahada (declaration of faith).
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
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.

Some feel lonely because they haven't found that perfect 'companion' yet. Sometimes Allah sends everyone else away so you can find that only in Him.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
Time for solitude. God, I ask you to remake my heart. Fill it with what You love. Remove from it what You don’t. And mend what I’ve broken.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
This world isn't perfect. That means it isn't perfectly good but it isn't perfectly bad, either. The ease comes with the hardship. Shift the focus of what you see, and your experience of this life will change.
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.

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
Image
I get it. Allah put me through it first so I could rise back up and help those around me. He trains you first. Then He sends the people to you and you to the people.
