“Love of Allah is the power of the heart, the sustenance of the heart, the light of the heart.

“‎Don’t wait to get old to worship Allah. If today is your last day, you are old already.

“Sometimes we lose hope in turning to God and asking for His help because we feel like we have done too much wrong. And yet think of a child who has just angered his mother and immediately after trips and falls on the stairs. Even if that child had just angered his mother to tears, the moment he falls and cries for help, she runs to him. This is human mercy. And God is infinitely more merciful than a mother is to her child. So, do you think—no matter what you’ve done—when you’re falling and cry out to the *most* merciful…He wouldn’t come save you?

Yasmin Mogahed

“Its easy to give to those who give back. The real test of love is to give to those who can give you nothing in return.

“The heart is a confusing, altering thing. No state is forever. No state of bliss lasts forever. But no state of pain does either. They all pass. So if you experience happiness, ask Allah to make it forever in jennah. And if you experience sadness, ask Allah to make it a means of purification and elevation for you. And know that this too shall pass.

Yasmin Mogahed

“What you see in other people is a reflection of yourself. A person of goodness sees goodness in others and a person of evil sees evil in others.

“Stick to the path of guidance, and do not be hurt by the small number of people who take this path; and beware of the path of misguidance and do not be fooled by the large number of people who destroy themselves on this path.

“It is not true that if we had true faith we would not be sad. Prophets (peace be upon them) and righteous people experienced a great deal of sadness. The Quran is full of stories in which the central theme is sadness. Sadness is a reality of life. The Quran is not there to eliminate sadness, but to navigate it. Sadness is one of the tests of life, just as happiness, and anger are tests.

Nouman Ali Khan

“Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.

Rumi

“And Ruh bin Zinba’ was traveling between Makkah and Madinah on a very hot day. A herder living on a mountain approached him, and he said to him: “O herder, come eat with me.” The herder said: “I’m fasting.” Ruh said: “You’re fasting in this heat?” The herder replied: “Should I let my days pass by in vain?” So, Ruh said: “You have used your days wisely, O herder, while Ruh bin Zinba’ has wasted his.”
