“Fifty years ago, society told us that men were superior because they left the home to work in factories. We were mothers. And yet, we were told that it was women’s liberation to abandon the raising of another human being in order to work on a machine. We accepted that working in a factory was superior to raising the foundation of society—just because a man did it.

Yasmin Mogahed

“As soon as we accept that everything a man has and does is better, all that follows is a knee-jerk reaction: if men have it, we want it too. If men pray in the front rows, we assume this is better, so we want to pray in the front rows too. If men lead prayer, we assume the imam is closer to God, so we want to lead prayer too.

Yasmin Mogahed

“And yet, even when God honors us with something uniquely feminine, we are too busy trying to find our worth in reference to men to value it—or even notice. We, too, have accepted men as the standard; so anything uniquely feminine is, by definition, inferior. Being sensitive is an insult, becoming a mother—a degradation. In the battle between stoic rationality (considered masculine) and selfless compassion (considered feminine), rationality reigns supreme.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Allah was, and there was nothing with Him, and He is now as He was.

Ibn 'Ata Allah al-Iskandari

“Tawakkul is having complete trust that Allah’s plan is the best plan.

Yasmin Mogahed

“What we so often forget is that God has honored the woman by giving her value in relation to God—not in relation to men. But as Western feminism erases God from the scene, there is no standard left—except men. As a result, the Western feminist is forced to find her value in relation to a man. And in so doing, she has accepted a faulty assumption. She has accepted that man is the standard, and thus a woman can never be a full human being until she becomes just like a man.

When a man cut his hair short, she wanted to cut her hair short. When a man joined the army, she wanted to join the army. She wanted these things for no other reason than because the “standard” had it.

Yasmin Mogahed

“There is nothing beyond God that deserves to be sought and nothing finds its conclusion with other than Him.

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah

“It sounds comical, but the truth is we put the needs of our body above the needs of our soul. We feed our bodies, because if we didn’t, we’d die. But so many of us starve our souls, forgetting that if we are not praying our soul is dead. And ironically, the body that we tend to is only temporary, while the soul that we neglect is eternal.

Yasmin Mogahed

“There are many people who say they don’t have time to pray at work or school, or while they’re out. But how many have ever said they don’t have time to go to the bathroom, so while out, at work or school have opted instead to just wear Depends? How many of us just don’t feel like waking up at Fajr time if we need to use the bathroom, and choose instead to wet our bed? The truth is we’ll get out of bed, or leave class, or stop work, to use the bathroom, but not to pray.

Yasmin Mogahed

“A man came to al-Fudhail bin Bazwan and said: "There is a man backbiting you."
He said: "I resent the one who has commanded him [to backbite me, and not the man himself]."
They asked: "And who has commanded him?"
He said: "The Shaitan."

Al-Fudhail bin Bazawan

“Whoever is prevented from disobeying Allah by upholding the Dignity of Allah in his heart, Allah will protect his dignity in the hearts of the creation and will prevent them from dishonoring him.

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah

“Caring for someone is easy, but to make someone care for you is difficult, So never lose the one who really cares for you.

Waleed Basyouni

“He once set out to kill the Prophet (ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam), today he's buried next to him. His name is Omar ibn Khattab - The Leader of the Believers.

Once a staunch enemy of Islam, Omar became the man who brought honour and respect to the Muslims.

Indeed guidance is solely in the Hands of Allah, we should never give up hope in anybody.

Yasir Qadhi

“The most truthful line of poetry ever uttered is: "Verily, everything besides Allah is of no value." ~ Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

Yasir Qadhi

“One of my favorite du'aas is the plea of Prophet Musa when he fled from Egypt: "O Allah! I am a faqir for all good from you."

Yasir Qadhi

“Fast from this world, you will get your iftar at the time of death.

Dawood at-Ta'i

“A tear that runs down a believer's cheek is more beneficial than a thousand raindrops on the earth.

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah

“Fasting is a shield; so when one of you is fasting he should not use foul or foolish talk. If someone attacks him or insults him, let him say: “I am fasting, I am fasting!

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

“O son of Adam, how is your heart ever going to be softened by recitation of the Qur’an when all you read for is to reach the end of the Surah.

al-Hasan al-Basri

“Islam is a diversity of interpretations. The problem is not the book, it is the reader. Tell me the way you read, I will know what is in your mind, but not for sure what is in the text. The ones to blame often are the religious people themselves because the way they present their religion is all of dreams and hopes. It is not dealing with the reality …which is a complex reality.

Tariq Ramadan
