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

The Prophets! And they were the closest to Allah. Every hardship is good for you-if it brings you closer to Him!
YASMIN MOGAHED

Bring Close Every Hardship
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

Blessing Heart Thinking
When we can’t marry the person we had in mind, our inability to look beyond may even blind sight us from someone who is in fact better for us.
YASMIN MOGAHED

Better Inability Mind Sight
I am always shocked to discover how many people believe that hardships are a punishment from God! When people face tests or see others facing tests, they assume Allah must be angry with them. SubhannAllah! Remember which people were tested the most:
YASMIN MOGAHED

Assume Believe God People Punishment
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

Focus Good Mean Perfectly Shift
We don’t need to become just like men to be honored, and we don’t need to wait for a prince to save or complete us. Our worth, our honor, our salvation, and our completion lies not in the slave. But, in the Lord of the slave.
YASMIN MOGAHED

Competition Honor Men Need
Keep praying, even if you have only a whisper left.
YASMIN MOGAHED

There’s something amazing about this life. The very same worldly attribute that causes us pain is also what gives us relief:
YASMIN MOGAHED

Beautiful Change Laughter
The 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 MOGAHED

Distraction Excruciating Moment Victim
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

Arrogance Ignorance World
The poison leaves bit by bit, not all at once. Be patient. You are healing.
YASMIN MOGAHED

Healing Patience Poison
Do your part, but stop trying to steer your destiny. You’re not in charge.
YASMIN MOGAHED

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

Heart Silence Speak Understand
Ya Allah, envelop our hearts with a shield of your light and mercy, so the pain doesn’t penetrate.
YASMIN MOGAHED

Heart Light Pain
Most 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.
YASMIN MOGAHED

Fall Succeeds Taken Thinking
Tawwakul is not an act of the limbs-it is an act of the heart. And so while the limbs are striving hard, the heart is completely reliant on Allah.
YASMIN MOGAHED

Go Heart Letting Mean
