But, this dark place is not the end. Remember that the darkness of night precedes the dawn. And as long as your heart still beats, this is not the death of it. You don’t have to die here.
YASMIN MOGAHEDBut, this dark place is not the end. Remember that the darkness of night precedes the dawn. And as long as your heart still beats, this is not the death of it. You don’t have to die here.
YASMIN MOGAHEDIf you think you’re too far from Allah to return, and your ‘past’ continues to own you, just remember that Malik ibn Dinar (RA) was an alcoholic, and Omar (RA) was on his way to assassinate the Prophet (pbuh) before they became two of the greatest souls to walk the earth!
YASMIN MOGAHEDKeep praying, even if you have only a whisper left.
YASMIN MOGAHEDTime of difficulty test our faith, our fortitude and our strenght. During these times, the level of our imaan becomes manifest
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 MOGAHEDIts shocking how many people believe hardships are a punishment from God! Every hardship is good for you-if it brings you closer to Him!
YASMIN MOGAHEDIn his mercy, He sent the storm itself to make us seek help. And then knowing that we’re likely to get the wrong answer, He gives us a multiple choice exam with only one option to choose from: the correct answer. The hardship itself is ease.
YASMIN MOGAHEDDo your part, but stop trying to steer your destiny. You’re not in charge.
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 MOGAHEDThe greatest virtue is not in forgiving those who apologize, or in being kind to those who are kind to you. The biggest virtue is in forgiving even those who never apologize, and in being kind to even those who are not kind to you.
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 MOGAHEDSeek the ones who never stop caring, who break down your walls, and help you come back to yourself
YASMIN MOGAHEDWe are two people. The person inside and the person outside. Sidq (truthfulness) is when they are the same.
YASMIN MOGAHEDBe grateful for every single person who was part of your story.The ones that hurt you. The ones that helped you. Because they all taught you.
YASMIN MOGAHEDYou cried when He took away your drop of water, not knowing He’d saved for you, the sea.
YASMIN MOGAHEDLove people for the sake of God, but never love God for the sake of people.
YASMIN MOGAHED
