Ya Allah, envelop our hearts with a shield of your light and mercy, so the pain doesn't penetrate.
Yasmin MogahedI'm not here to be on display. And my body is not for public consumption. I will not be reduced to an object, or a pair of legs to sell shoes. I'm a soul, a mind, a servant of God. My worth is defined by the beauty of my soul, my heart, my moral character. So I won't worship your beauty standards, and I don't submit to your fashion sense. My submission is to something higher.
Yasmin MogahedTo some,Islam is nothing but a code of rules and regulations.But,to those who understand,it is a perfect vision of life
Yasmin MogahedDonโt despair if your heart has been through a lot of trauma. Sometimes thatโs how beautiful hearts are remade: they are shattered first.
Yasmin MogahedThereโs something amazing about this life. The very same worldly attribute that causes us pain is also what gives us relief: Nothing here lasts. What does that mean? It means that the breathtakingly beautiful rose in my vase will wither tomorrow. It means that my youth will neglect me. But it also means that the sadness I feel today will change tomorrow. My pain will die. My laughter wonโt last forever but neither will my tears. We say this life isnโt perfect. And it isnโt. It isnโt perfectly good. But, it also isnโt perfectly bad, either.
