Tawwakul 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 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 MogahedTo all those broken or hopeless, I have learned this: Be grateful for every single person who was part of your story. The ones that hurt you. The ones that helped you. The ones that came, and the ones that left. They all taught you. Don't think for a moment that any of it was random. There are no oversights with God. Only perfectly crafted chapters in each unique journey.
Yasmin MogahedTime for solitude. God, I ask you to remake my heart. Fill it with what You love. Remove from it what You donโt. And mend what Iโve broken.
