Don't let this Ramadan be just a holiday of rituals. Don't finish reading the Quran without it transforming you. Don't feed your body at suhoor, but starve your heart of Qiyam. Don't reduce this downpour of mercy to just a month of sweets and lavish iftars. Seek Him, you will find. Take a sincere step towards change, transformation, redemption. If you do, you will find Him in front of you. Find Him this month. He's been there all along. Closer than your jugular vein. Look and you'll find. Walk and you'll arrive.
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 MogahedSometimes this world comes between us and what we love. But if we are patient, when this world passes away, there will be no more separation.
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 MogahedMost of all, we must never be deceived. We must never allow ourselves to think that anything in this world succeeds, fails, is given, taken, done, or undone without Allah. It is only by our connection to our Creator that we rise or fall in life, in our relationship with our worldโand with all of humanity.
