God tells me to cover myself, to hide my beauty and to tell the world that Iโm not here to please men with my body; Iโm here to please God. God elevates the dignity of a womanโs body by commanding that it be respected and covered, shown only to the deserving - only to the man I marry.
Yasmin MogahedBlessings come in packages of two. With every blessing is a test. So don't ever envy people who seem to have more than you. The more blessings, the more tests. And the greater the blessing, the harder the test.
Yasmin MogahedWe are always looking for signs. We are always asking for God to 'speak' to us. But those signs are all around us. They are in everything. God is always 'speaking'. The question is whether we are listening.
Yasmin MogahedPeople think that tests only come in the form of hardships. Allah also tests us with ease, it's often in the test of ease that we fail most.
Yasmin MogahedTime for solitude. God, I ask you to remake my heart. Fill it with what You love. Remove from it what You donโt. And mend what Iโve broken.
