Shaytan will tell you that youโre 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 donโt change because youโre messing up. Just seek them. Call Him by His mercy, not by your deeds.
Yasmin MogahedYou canโt run in more than one direction at a time. And you will only run in the direction you are facing. So if your heart is facing anything other than Allah, it isnโt Him youโre running towards.
Yasmin MogahedDon't ever be afraid of giving. Give. Give of your time, your forgiveness, your understanding, your love. Give of your money. Give to the creation, and you'll be given by the Creator. Be generous, and the Most Generous will be generous with you.
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.
