“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 is a powerful and amazing thing about tawbah (repentance) and turning back to Allah (swt). We are told that it is a polish for the heart. What’s amazing about a polish is that it doesn’t just clean. It makes the object that is polished even shinier than it was before it got dirty. If you come back to God, seek His forgiveness, and refocus your life and heart on Him, you have the potential to be even richer than if you’d never fallen at all. Sometimes falling and coming back up gives you wisdom and humility that you may never otherwise have had.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Sometimes the same hardship you wish would be removed is the very thing that is curing, protecting and saving you.

Yasmin Mogahed

“There are pieces of your life, moments, events, decisions, and you saw no significance in them when they happen. You may even despair. It’s only when time goes by and you look back and suddenly you can see your whole life like a perfectly designed puzzle. Don’t be afraid of the puzzle piece you’re in now. It’ll fit perfectly…just like the rest. How could it not? The Designer is perfect.

Yasmin Mogahed

“‎The ability to readily forgive should be driven by an awareness of our own flaws and mistakes towards others. But most of all, our humility should be driven by the fact that we wrong Allah every single day of our lives, when we sin. Who are we compared to Allah? And yet, Allah, Master of the universe, forgives by day and by night. Who are we to withhold forgiveness? If we hope to be forgiven by Allah, how can we not forgive others? It is for this reason that the Prophet ﷺ teaches us: “Those who show no mercy to others will have no mercy shown to them by Allah.” [Muslim]

Yasmin Mogahed

“Be grateful no matter what the calamities are. Remember, miracles can happen in seconds, only when Allah wills it. It can happen today, maybe tomorrow and maybe it will happen some other day. Allah says: give the glad tidings to the patient. So, be among the patient and help is just round the corner!

Assim AlHakeem

“Are you ready for what you’re supplicating for? Sometimes we think we are, but Allah knows we are not so he holds it back until we are.

Abdulbary Yahya

“Both Jannah and Jahannam were made for sinners. Jahannam was made for the arrogant sinner, whereas Jannah was made for the repentant sinner.

Tawfique Chowdhury

“Boys compete for this worldly life, men compete for the hereafter.

Abdulbary Yahya

“Don’t try to mold Reality to suit yourself. Mold yourself to suit Reality. Only the foolish try to resist Reality. The wise adapt.

Yasmin Mogahed

“A man said to al-Hasan al-Basri: "O Abu Sa`eed, I am complaining to you of the hardness of my heart."
He said: "Soften it with dhikr. The more forgetful the heart is, the hard it becomes, but if a person remembers Allah, that hardness softens as copper melts in the fire.
Nothing can soften the hardness of the heart like the remembrance of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted. Dhikr is healing and medicine for the heart.
Forgetfulness is a disease, the cure for which is remembrance of Allah."

al-Hasan al-Basri
