In any nation, the hypocrites do not become apparent except during times of fitnah (severe tests and hardships).
Yasmin MogahedArrogance is actually just ignorance. Ignorance of what you really are in relation to the world-but most of all in relation to God.
Yasmin MogahedTimes of hardship can act as both an indicator, as well as a cure, for our broken relationship with our Creator.
Yasmin MogahedWe are two people. The person inside and the person outside. Sidq (truthfulness) is when they are the same.
Yasmin MogahedWhen we can’t marry the person we had in mind, our inability to look beyond may even blind sight us from someone who is in fact better for us. When we don’t get hired, or we lose something dear to us, it’s hard to take a step back and notice the bigger picture. Often Allah takes things away from us, only to replace them with something greater.
