“Don't curse the emptiness. Its there for a reason. It is a wake up call to seek and find Him.

Yasmin Mogahed

“I'm traveling now, as I have been since the day I was born, to You.

Yasmin Mogahed

“If you study your own struggles, the struggles of others, even in movies or novels you'll see the root of all their suffering is always attachments

Yasmin Mogahed

“All that you love in this life is only what is a glimpse of the next.The beauty, the pleasure, the love, even the fruit is only a sample.

Yasmin Mogahed

“I seek refuge in You from ever seeking refuge in other than You.

Yasmin Mogahed

“People wonder what goes wrong after the wedding day. I think its when giving turns to expecting and gratitude turns to entitlement.

Yasmin Mogahed

“When Allah blesses us with someone that we love, we forget that Allah is the source of that blessing, and we begin to love that person as we should love Allah. That person becomes the center of our world—all our concerns, thoughts, plans, fears, and hopes revolve only around them. If they are not our spouses, we are sometimes even willing to fall into haram just to be with them. And if they were to leave us, our whole world would crumble. So now, we have shifted our worship from the Source of the blessing to the blessing itself.

Yasmin Mogahed

“When Allah blesses us with money, we depend on the money rather than Allah. We forget that the source of our provision is not and never was the money, but rather it was the giver of that money. Suddenly we’re willing to sell alcohol to avoid losing money in our business, or we need to take out loans with interest to feel secure. In so doing we are foolishly—and ironically—disobeying the Provider in order to protect the provision.

Yasmin Mogahed

“On that Day, we will see the true reality. On that Day, we will realize that two rak`at (units) of prayer were greater than everything in the heavens and the earth. We will realize the priceless check that was left on our doorstep every night as we slept. There will come a day when we would give up everything under the sky just to come back and pray those two rak`at.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Four things are signs of wretchedness: dryness of the eye [eyes that do not cry], hardness of the heart, putting one's hopes in dunya, and aggressiveness toward [acquiring the good things of] dunya.

Sheikh Ahmad al-Ajmi

“So often we think that Allah only tests us with hardships, but this isn’t true. Allah also tests with ease. He tests us with na`im (blessings) and with the things we love, and it is often in these tests that so many of us fail. We fail because when Allah gives us these blessings, we unwittingly turn them into false idols in the heart.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Love isn't supposed to torment you. If it does, there's probably something wrong.

Yasmin Mogahed

“One teardrop that falls from the eye of a believer out of love and fear for Him is better than this world and everything it contains.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

“What if Your blessings come through raindrops, what if Your healing comes through tears, what if 1000 sleepless nights are what it takes to know You are near?

Yasmin Mogahed

“What if trials of this life, the rain, the storms, the hardest nights, are Your mercies in disguise?

Yasmin Mogahed

“What if my greatest disappointments, or the aching of this life is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy?

Yasmin Mogahed

“Today was a day of tears. The pain reminds this heart that this is not, this is not our home. It's not our home.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Perhaps this trial wont end until you learn the lesson it was sent to teach you.

Yasmin Mogahed

“We usually think that ease prepares us for hardship. But I think sometimes hardship prepares us for ease. Because ease is often the hardest test.

Yasmin Mogahed

“When those deserving of Paradise would enter Paradise, the Blessed and the Exalted would ask: Do you wish Me to give you anything more? They would say: Hast Thou not brightened our faces? Hast Thou not made us enter Paradise and saved us from Fire? He would lift the veil, and of things given to them nothing would be dearer to them than the sight of their Lord, the Mighty and the Glorious.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

“It will keep hurting you, until you let go and there remains nothing in the heart but Him. Once that happens you will no longer love for your own sake. Everything you want, love, or hate will be for, through and by Him.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Ironically, the less we chase after the approval and love of the people, the more we gain it. The less needy we are of others, the more people are drawn to us and seek our company. ... Only by breaking out of the orbit of the creation, can we succeed with both God and people.

Yasmin Mogahed

“But the more I fear the people, the more I become enslaved. True freedom only comes when I let go of the fear of anything and anyone other than God.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Riyaa is a consequence of living in the orbit of the creation. The deeper and deeper I enter into that orbit, the more I become consumed with gaining human praise, approval and recognition. The more I enter that orbit, the more I fear loss—loss of face, loss of status, loss of praise, loss of approval.

Yasmin Mogahed

“The goal of this life is to realize the Truth of God’s greatness and my own insignificance and need before Him. The goal is to take myself out of the center and put Him there instead.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Break in the hands of God, He'll unbreak you. Break in the hands of people, you'll remain forever broken. Break to no one, your heart will remain hard.

Yasmin Mogahed

“The dunya (that great job, certain type of spouse, having a child, school, career, etc) is our end and *Allah* is the means that we use to get there. We use that means, through making du`a’, to achieve our end (whatever it is that we’re making du`a’ for), and then get disappointed when our means (Allah) didn’t come through for us. We throw our hands up in the air and say our du`a’ are not being answered. Our means just isn’t coming through for us! But, Allah isn’t a means. He is the end. The ultimate objective of even du`a’ itself is to build our connection to Allah. Through du`a’ we become closer to Him.

Yasmin Mogahed

“True or pure love should never contradict or compete with one’s love for Allah. It should strengthen it. That is why true love is only possible within the boundaries of what Allah has made permissible. Outside of that, it is nothing more than hawa, to which we either submit or reject. We are either slaves to Allah, or slaves to our hawa. It cannot be both.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Real love brings about calm—not inner torment. True love allows you to be at peace with yourself and with God. That is why Allah says: “that you may dwell in tranquility.” Hawa is the opposite. Hawa will make you miserable. And just like a drug, you will crave it always, but never be satisfied. You will chase it to your own detriment, but never reach it. And though you submit your whole self to it, it will never bring you happiness.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Real love, as Allah intended it, is not a sickness or an addiction. It is affection and mercy. Allah says in His book: “And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.” (30: 21)

Yasmin Mogahed
