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 MOGAHEDI tell you to keep going, not because it’s easy. Not because it doesn’t hurt. I tell you to keep going because there’s no other way. To stop is to die.
YASMIN MOGAHEDBe careful about wanting what others have. There is always a price. Perhaps God didn’t give it to you, because He knew you wouldn’t be able to pay it.
YASMIN MOGAHEDWe will suffer the moment we take our eyes off the End and get lost in the means.
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.
YASMIN MOGAHEDWe die as we lived. Whatever was most important in life, will consume us at death. Whatever attachments we had will become evident then.
YASMIN MOGAHEDTell this imprisoned soul that it will never be owned. Nothing will ever own you. But God.
YASMIN MOGAHEDMy value as a woman is not measured by the size of my waist or the number of men who like me.
YASMIN MOGAHEDOur first and true home was Paradise: a land that is both perfect and eternal. So the yearning for that type of life is a part of our being.
YASMIN MOGAHEDWe often wonder why God gives and takes, constricts and expands. What we forget is that human beings understand things by their opposites.
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 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 MOGAHEDThe body has many needs. But the soul has only one: to be with God.
YASMIN MOGAHEDWe are two people. The person inside and the person outside. Sidq (truthfulness) is when they are the same.
YASMIN MOGAHEDTime of difficulty test our faith, our fortitude and our strenght. During these times, the level of our imaan becomes manifest
YASMIN MOGAHEDHope shouldn’t increase with good deeds and decrease with sin. In good deeds, my hope is for Allah to accept. In sin, my hope is for Allah to forgive.
