Quotations and sayings

01Undated

Shaytan will tell you that you’re not worthy, so give up. But his traps are based on lies. When was any of it because of *your* worth? It was all because of His mercy, His generosity, His love of giving, and forgiving. And those qualities don’t change because you’re messing up. Just seek them. Call Him by His mercy, not by your deeds.

Yasmin Mogahed / quote

02Undated

Be the moon in somebody's night. Be the yusr (ease), in somebody's usr (hardship).

Yasmin Mogahed / quote

03Undated

The secret to happiness is to never make it dependent on that which can be taken away

Yasmin Mogahed / quote

04Undated

Let go of your grudges. Let the bitterness die tonight. Make a decision today that it’s time to move on. And begin again. New, this time. Never forget that what has passed you by was never meant to befall you. And what has befallen you, was never meant to pass you by. Know that sometimes Allah withholds from you, in order to give you something better. Keep your heart focused on Him, and He will take care of the rest. And remember: you will stumble, but that’s part of the path. Keep going. Keep rising, and refuse to give up.

Yasmin Mogahed / quote

05Undated

To empty the heart does not mean to not love. On the contrary, true love, as God intented it, is purest when it is not based on a false attachment. The process of first emptying the heart can be found in the beginning half of the shahada (declaration of faith).

Yasmin Mogahed / quote

06Undated

They say you don’t get over someone until you find someone or something better. As humans, we don’t deal well with emptiness. Any empty space must be filled. Immediately. The pain of emptiness is too strong. It compels the victim to fill that place. A single moment with that empty spot causes excruciating pain. That’s why we run from distraction to distraction—and from attachment to attachment.

Yasmin Mogahed / quote

07Undated

The worst prison is not made of metal bars. The worst prison is when your internal reality does not match your external reality.

Yasmin Mogahed / quote

08Undated

Know that transformation sometimes begins with a fall. So never curse the fall.
