Everything in this life is only a glimpse of the real thing. Love, beauty, pleasure, even pain in its true essence is only in the next.
Yasmin Mogahed -
Many of us rely on our own illusion of control. But when God makes it known to you that you're not the one steering the ship, be thankful. He has removed the illusion, and forced you to rely only on Him.

When you fall in love with a work of art, you’d die to meet the artist. I am a student of the galleries of Pacific sunsets, full moon rises on the ocean, the clouds from an airplane, autumn forests in Raleigh, first fallen snows.
Yasmin Mogahed -
Leaving the people and places you love, is a reminder of the impermanence of this life. And the permanence of the next.
Yasmin Mogahed -
Time of difficulty test our faith, our fortitude and our strenght. During these times, the level of our imaan becomes manifest
Yasmin Mogahed -
Love people for the sake of God, but never love God for the sake of people.
Yasmin Mogahed -
Sometimes the gifts of God aren't wrapped as we expect.
Yasmin Mogahed -
Don't get attached to moments. Good or bad, they all pass.
Yasmin Mogahed
-
Allah 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 Mogahed -
When you're faced with a choice, remember this: Everything else will pass away. Your family. Your friends. Your material possessions. Your beauty. Your youth. Your life. And there is only one thing that remains. Ask yourself: Which are you chasing?
Yasmin Mogahed -
I loved. I lost. So I learned to love what is never lost. Then even what I loved that can be lost was through what cannot be lost...so it was never lost.
Yasmin Mogahed -
There's a time for words and a time for silence. If you're listening, you'll hear the difference.
Yasmin Mogahed -
Don't think being 'religious' means becoming harsh or hard. When Allah enters a heart, He softens it--He doesn't harden it.
Yasmin Mogahed -
The worst part of getting close to someone is the part when you have to miss them.
Yasmin Mogahed
-
Look forward to going back Home. But make sure you're furnishing it.
Yasmin Mogahed -
This pain in your heart was created to make you yearn less for this life. And to yearn more for jennah. Allahu akbar
Yasmin Mogahed -
In dunya, the image is always better than the reality. In Jennah, the Reality is better than any image ever could be.
Yasmin Mogahed -
Never lose hope. Stay close to Allah and when you mess up, go back to Him. Never, ever stop going back to Him. Repent often. Cry to Allah. And hold on tight-with your life-to His remembrance and to prayer. If you do this, you may get wet, but insha Allah never drown in this ocean of dunya.
Yasmin Mogahed -
When you Rectify your Relationship with the Creator, He Rectifies your relationship with All of the Creation.
Yasmin Mogahed -
In any nation, the hypocrites do not become apparent except during times of fitnah (severe tests and hardships).
Yasmin Mogahed
-
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 -
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 Mogahed -
Happiness, sadness, loss and gain all pass away. What they do to us is what remains.
Yasmin Mogahed -
Everything we do is motivated by love. Even fear and hate are born of love. So be careful what you love.
