Ya Allah, envelop our hearts with a shield of your light and mercy, so the pain doesn't penetrate.
Yasmin MogahedIgnoring a Reality doesn't make it less Real. It's still going to happen. Being unprepared for something doesn't stop it from happening.
Yasmin MogahedIf you want this life to stop breaking your heart, stop giving your heart to this life.
Yasmin MogahedWe are always looking for signs. We are always asking for God to 'speak' to us. But those signs are all around us. They are in everything. God is always 'speaking'. The question is whether we are listening.
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.
