Yasmin Mogahed

Some hearts understand each other, even in silence.
YASMIN MOGAHED

Heart Silence Speak Understand
My pain will die. 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

Bad Laughter Life Perfectly
Try to fill your mind and heart with Allah as much as you can throughout your day. Talk to Him, make duaa to Him constantly. This will build your personal relationship with Him. Then, going to salah will be like coming home to an old friend.
YASMIN MOGAHED

God Mind Personal Relationship Throughout
So often we think that Allah only tests us with hardships, but this isn’t true. Allah also tests with ease. He tests us with na’im (blessings) and with the things we love, and it is often in these tests that so many of us fail.
YASMIN MOGAHED

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

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

Around Believe Everything Thing
