Allah is al-Kareem, so if He withholds from you it is not on account of stinginess. It is on account of His generosity. He withholds to give.
Yasmin MogahedSeek the ones who never stop caring, who break down your walls, and help you come back to yourself
Yasmin MogahedSo often we think that Allah only tests us with hardships, but this isn't true. Allah also tests with ease. He tests us with na`im (blessings) and with the things we love, and it is often in these tests that so many of us fail. We fail because when Allah gives us these blessings, we unwittingly turn them into false idols in the heart.
Yasmin MogahedEverything in this life is only a glimpse of the real thing. Love, beauty, pleasure, even pain in its true essence is only in the next.
