Keep praying, even if you have only a whisper left.
YASMIN MOGAHEDKeep praying, even if you have only a whisper left.
YASMIN MOGAHEDLove people for the sake of God, but never love God for the sake of people.
YASMIN MOGAHEDThis tide was never meant to be still. Step away from time to time. And know that only a heart fixed on the unmoving spot can ride the waves of this ever-changing, ever-fading life.
YASMIN MOGAHEDMy 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 MOGAHEDWhen you’re in trouble don’t depend on yourself. Don’t depend on people. Depend on God.
YASMIN MOGAHEDTry 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 MOGAHEDAllah is al-Kareem, so if He withholds from you it is not on account of stinginess. It is on account of His generosity. He withholds to give.
YASMIN MOGAHEDMy worth as a human being is measured on a higher scale: a scale of righteousness and piety. And my purpose in life-despite what fashion magazines say-is something more sublime than just looking good for men.
YASMIN MOGAHEDThe ones that hurt you. The ones that helped you. The ones that came, and the ones that left. They all taught you.
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 MOGAHEDSo 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 MOGAHEDDo 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 MOGAHEDWhen 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 MOGAHEDThe traveler walks through many mirages before he finds water.
YASMIN MOGAHEDThe pain of emptiness is too strong. It compels the victim to fill that place. A single moment with that empty spot causes excruciating pain. That’s why we run from distraction to distraction and from attachment to attachment.
YASMIN MOGAHEDMost of all, we must never be deceived. We must never allow ourselves to think that anything in this world succeeds, fails, is given, taken, done, or undone without Allah.
