We cannot tolerate one mistake from others, and yet God tolerates a planet covered with His own creation that live their entire lives sinning and denying Him, and yet continues to feed, clothe and protect them.
YASMIN MOGAHEDWe cannot tolerate one mistake from others, and yet God tolerates a planet covered with His own creation that live their entire lives sinning and denying Him, and yet continues to feed, clothe and protect them.
YASMIN MOGAHEDThe enduring life is the one that begins once we awaken from this world. And it is in that awakening that we realize… It was only a dream
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 MOGAHEDIf you want to know what’s Real, of love, of life, of loyalty, put it through the greatest test: Time.
YASMIN MOGAHEDThere’s something amazing about this life. The very same worldly attribute that causes us pain is also what gives us relief:
YASMIN MOGAHEDAs a Muslim woman, I’ve been liberated from a silent kind of bondage. I don’t answer to the slaves of God on earth. I answer to their King.
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 MOGAHEDTry not to confuse attachment with love. Attachment is about fear and dependency, and has more to do with love of self than love of another.
YASMIN MOGAHEDYou can’t run in more than one direction at a time. And you will only run in the direction you are facing. So if your heart is facing anything other than Allah, it isn’t Him you’re running towards.
YASMIN MOGAHEDNothing here lasts. What does that mean? It means that the breathtakingly beautiful rose in my vase will wither tomorrow. It means that my youth will neglect me. But it also means that the sadness I feel today will change tomorrow.
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 MOGAHEDWhen you’re in trouble don’t depend on yourself. Don’t depend on people. Depend on God.
YASMIN MOGAHEDSome hearts understand each other, even in silence.
YASMIN MOGAHEDYou can search the world over, but you won’t find happiness until you realize that happiness isn’t getting what you want. It’s being content with what you already have.
YASMIN MOGAHEDKnow that transformation sometimes begins with a fall. So never curse the fall.
YASMIN MOGAHEDAs Muslim women, we have been liberated from this silent bondage. We don’t need society’s standard of beauty or fashion, to define our worth.
