You have trouble feeling alive, so you stab your own heart just to feel something. It was the emptiness that was killing you. You created the sadness and the fear to fill it.
Yasmin MogahedDon't think being 'religious' means becoming harsh or hard. When Allah enters a heart, He softens it--He doesn't harden it.
Yasmin MogahedWhen you Rectify your Relationship with the Creator, He Rectifies your relationship with All of the Creation.
Yasmin MogahedThe people will come and go. Sometimes they'll be there for you. Sometimes they wont. Some will love you, some will not. This tide was never meant to be still. Step away from time to time. And know that only a heart fixed on the unmoving spot can ride the waves of this ever-changing, ever-fading life.
