This life will never be without storms. Stop fearing the storm. Build your inner shelter.
Yasmin MogahedTawwakul is not an act of the limbs-it is an act of the heart. And so while the limbs are striving hard, the heart is completely reliant on Allah. This means whatever the outcome of the limbs' striving, the heart will be completely satisfied, knowing that it is the flawless decision of Allah. But in order to reach this level, one must hold on to hope, strive with the limbs, and let go with the heart.
Yasmin MogahedDon't expect your spouse to be perfect. He/she is only the dunya version of themselves. Their 'perfect' version is saved for jennah.
Yasmin MogahedDonโt despair if your heart has been through a lot of trauma. Sometimes thatโs how beautiful hearts are remade: they are shattered first.
Yasmin MogahedSeek the ones who never stop caring, who break down your walls, and help you come back to yourself
Yasmin MogahedKnow that transformation sometimes begins with a fall. So never curse the fall. The ground is where humility lives. Take it. Learn it. Breathe it in. And then come back stronger, humbler and more aware of your need for Him. Come back having seen your own nothingness and His greatness.
