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 MogahedBe careful about wanting what others have. There is always a price. Perhaps God didn’t give it to you, because He knew you wouldn’t be able to pay it.
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 MogahedWe are two people. The person inside and the person outside. Sidq (truthfulness) is when they are the same.
