So often we experience things in life, and yet never see the connections between them. When we are given hardship, or feel pain, we often fail to consider that the experience may be the direct cause or result of another action or experience. Sometimes we fail to recognize the direct connection between the pain in our lives and our relationship with Allah SWT
Yasmin MogahedIf you study your own struggles, the struggles of others, even in movies or novels you'll see the root of all their suffering is always attachments
Yasmin MogahedOh my heart, there is another way to love. Do not love the gift for what the gift is. Love the gift for Who it came from.
Yasmin MogahedTry not to confuse attachment with love. Attachment is about fear and dependency, and has more to do with love of self than love of another. Love without attachment is the purest love because it isn't about what others can give you because your empty. It is about what you can give others because you're already full.
