Do your part, but stop trying to steer your destiny. You’re not in charge.
YASMIN MOGAHEDDo your part, but stop trying to steer your destiny. You’re not in charge.
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 MOGAHEDIf there is one recipe for unhappiness it is that: expectations.
YASMIN MOGAHEDResilience is very different than being numb. Resilience means you experience, you feel, you fail, you hurt. You fall. But, you keep going.
YASMIN MOGAHEDTime of difficulty test our faith, our fortitude and our strenght. During these times, the level of our imaan becomes manifest
YASMIN MOGAHEDI 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 MOGAHEDWe 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 MOGAHEDThis life will never be without storms. Stop fearing the storm. Build your inner shelter.
YASMIN MOGAHEDSome hearts understand each other, even in silence.
YASMIN MOGAHEDIf you want the love of the people, stop running after it. The more you chase it, the more it escapes you. Love doesn’t come from the people. It comes from God.
YASMIN MOGAHEDI know you feel worn and tired. I know you’re tired of failing. Rest, but don’t stop. You can do this. You got this. Not because you’re strong, but because He’s your strength.
YASMIN MOGAHEDThat data is later replayed during your prayer. If you want to know what is filling your heart, look at what you think about in your prayer. If you want to guard your heart, guard your eyes, ears, and tongue.
YASMIN MOGAHEDTell this imprisoned soul that it will never be owned. Nothing will ever own you. But God.
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 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 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.
