“You thought the storm, the ocean, the fear, the sadness, the mistakes, the loss, the brokenness was all bad for you. But really it was only a means. It was all a vehicle to make you seek Him. To bring you back. To bring you back to completion, to happiness, to life. To bring you back to where you began. To bring you back to all that you really seek.
To bring you back to Him.

Yasmin Mogahed

“The truth is, when we thought we were looking for a good husband or a good wife or a good job or a lot of money or a lot of fame, we were really just looking for God.

Yasmin Mogahed

“When they all went to sleep, He never did. When they broke, He held you up. When every means failed, He saved you. When all the creation left you, He remained. He always remains. Never forget how He carried you, when the storm pushed you to your knees and there was no one else who could help you. When you were broken and you swore this time it couldn’t be fixed—never forget who fixed it. Never forget what He saved you from. Never forget how He put you back together. That moment when you felt helpless and alone, never forget who never left. To forget this is the greatest heedlessness. No matter who or what may be beside you now, never forget those moments when it was only Him. Only Him. That is loyalty.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Imagine you are climbing up a ladder to Jannah, and in Ramadan you climb a thousand steps. When Ramadan is over many people fall all the way back down to where they began, it’s as though they never received that boost. No one will be able to maintain their efforts 100%. We’re not going to be able to maintain the same quality of all our good actions, but the goal is to have a healthy quantity. As long as we’re still dabbling in ebadah more than we did before the month started then inshaAllah this is a very positive sign.
