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 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 MogahedDon't lie to me. Don't deceive me. Give me the truth. Even if it breaks me. A painful truth is better than a pleasant lie.
Yasmin MogahedAs a Muslim woman, Iโve been liberated from a silent kind of bondage. I donโt answer to the slaves of God on earth. I answer to their King.
Yasmin MogahedSo often we think that Allah only tests us with hardships, but this isn't true. Allah also tests with ease. He tests us with na`im (blessings) and with the things we love, and it is often in these tests that so many of us fail. We fail because when Allah gives us these blessings, we unwittingly turn them into false idols in the heart.
