Don't lie to me. Don't deceive me. Give me the truth. Even if it breaks me. A painful truth is better than a pleasant lie.
Yasmin MogahedDo not say that every day you spend on this earth is a day closer to dying. Every day you spend on this earth is a day closer to finally living.
Yasmin MogahedThey say you don't get over someone until you find someone or something better. As humans, we don't deal well with emptiness. Any empty space must be filled. Immediately. The pain of emptiness is too strong. It compels the victim to fill that place. A single moment with that empty spot causes excruciating pain. That's why we run from distraction to distraction and from attachment to attachment.
Yasmin MogahedThere's a special place in my heart for the ones who were with me at my lowest and still loved me when I wasn't very loveable.
Yasmin MogahedGod tells me to cover myself, to hide my beauty and to tell the world that Iโm not here to please men with my body; Iโm here to please God. God elevates the dignity of a womanโs body by commanding that it be respected and covered, shown only to the deserving - only to the man I marry.
