“The more we run after the dunya, the more it runs away from us.

Yasmin Mogahed

“The foundation of Islam is tawheed (Oneness). But tawheed is not just about saying that God is One. It is so much deeper. It is about the Oneness of purpose, of fear, of worship, of ultimate love for God. It is the oneness of vision and focus. It is to direct one’s sight on one singular point, allowing everything else to fall into place.

One of the most beautiful traditions of the Prophet ﷺ captures this concept perfectly. He ﷺ said: “Whoever makes the Hereafter his preoccupation, then Allah places freedom from want in his heart, gathers his affairs, and Dunya (worldly life) comes to him despite being reluctant to do so. And whoever makes Dunya his preoccupation, then Allah places his poverty in front of his eyes, make his affairs scattered, and nothing of the Dunya comes to him except that which has been decreed for him.” [At-Tirmidhi]

Yasmin Mogahed

“The more we chase wealth, ironically, the more poverty we feel.

Yasmin Mogahed

“One easy step to make the dunya stop breaking your heart: stop loving it!

Yasmin Mogahed

“Only God could save me from my greatest enemy: myself.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Beware of preoccupying your heart with what it has not been created for.

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah

“Sometimes pain teaches what pleasure never could.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Stop trying to make this life into what it cannot and never was intended to be: jennah. Only then will it stop breaking your heart.

Yasmin Mogahed

“All of this: The sadness, accidents, smiles, peace, pain, love, loss, and sacrifice: it’s not for nothing. It is not without purpose.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Even the worst people can change, so always be the better of the two in any dispute, and you won't be the one who has to apologize.

Yasir Qadhi

“Everything in this life is only a glimpse of the real thing. Love, beauty, pleasure, even pain in its true essence is only in the next.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Don't expect your spouse to be perfect. He/she is only the dunya version of themselves. Their 'perfect' version is saved for jennah.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Attachments are the chains that bind us to the earth. It only hurts because of them. Find freedom.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Don’t advocate on behalf of your nafs when addressing Allah. Advocate on behalf of Allah when addressing your nafs.

Yasmin Mogahed

“The composing of books is more effective than building in recording the accomplishments of the passing ages and centuries. For there is no doubt that construction eventually perishes, and its traces disappear, while books handed from one generation to another, and from nation to nation, remain ever renewed...
Were it not for the wisdom garnered in books most of the learning would have been lost. The power of forgetfulness would have triumphed over the power of memory.

Al-Jahiz

“Imam Abu Hanifa was known for his scholarship and worship, but also for his sense of humor.

Once, a man asked: "O Imam! When I take a bath in the river, should I face the Qibla or turn away from the Qibla."

The Imam solemnly replied, "If I were you I would face my clothes, to make sure that no one runs off with them!"

Imam Abu Hanifah

“The spots of perfume disappear, but its fragrance remains. So too does a good deed disappear, but its effects remain.

Yasir Qadhi

“Never cut off the possibility of reconciliation with someone whom you've fought with, for one enemy is one too many, and life is too short to build enemies.

Yasir Qadhi

“Every time I travel, government TSA officials seem to recognize that I'm a Muslim and 'randomly' pull me aside for 'special treatment'.

My sincere hope and prayer is that, on the Day of Judgment, my Lord's angels also recognize me as a Muslim and pull me aside for special treatment :)

Yasir Qadhi

“After my khutbah today, a 93-year old man walked up to me asking if he had to fast. When I told him that Allah has given him a concession and he can feed a poor person instead, he demanded to know which verse in the Quran gave this concession.

After I showed it to him, he hugged me and began crying - said this was the first time he was unable to fast in his life and was feeling very guilty. He had woken up for suhoor but wasn't able to continue.

Truth be told, I felt more guilty - knowing that he had fasted more than three times the amount I had fasted in my entire life and yet still was attempting to go strong. His Iman put me to shame.

Yasir Qadhi
