You keep only what you give…to Him.
YASMIN MOGAHEDYou keep only what you give…to Him.
YASMIN MOGAHEDWhen was any of it because of *your* worth? It was all because of His mercy, His generosity, His love of giving, and forgiving. And those qualities don’t change because you’re messing up. Just seek them. Call Him by His mercy, not by your deeds.
YASMIN MOGAHEDIgnoring 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 MOGAHEDWhen the pain overtakes you, reach inside. Gather the broken pieces, and hand them to God. Ask Him to remake your heart. Different, this time. Stronger. More beautiful. This is how we are made, and remade by the Maker.
YASMIN MOGAHEDSeek those who help you hear your own heart.
YASMIN MOGAHEDSome 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 MOGAHEDThey say you don’t get over someone until you find someone or something better. As humans, we don’t deal well with emptiness. Any empty space must be filled. Immediately.
YASMIN MOGAHEDWe die as we lived. Whatever was most important in life, will consume us at death. Whatever attachments we had will become evident then.
YASMIN MOGAHEDDon’t expect your spouse to be perfect. He/she is only the dunya version of themselves. Their ‘perfect’ version is saved for jennah.
YASMIN MOGAHEDDon’t worry about what the people say. Sometimes they’ll praise you. Sometimes they’ll condemn you. All these things all fade away. And in the end, Allah takes care of everything. Perfectly.
YASMIN MOGAHEDThere is meaning in all things. But are you paying attention?
YASMIN MOGAHEDTawbah is the cleaning of the heart, dhikr is the feeding of the heart.
YASMIN MOGAHEDWhen you suffer, don’t speak. Look inside and listen for the duaa He inspires in you. and then ask Him. Again and again. Don’t stop.
YASMIN MOGAHEDThere 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.
YASMIN MOGAHEDWe will suffer the moment we take our eyes off the End and get lost in the means.
YASMIN MOGAHEDIf 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!
