Don't ever be afraid of giving. Give. Give of your time, your forgiveness, your understanding, your love. Give of your money. Give to the creation, and you'll be given by the Creator. Be generous, and the Most Generous will be generous with you.
Yasmin MogahedYou canโt run in more than one direction at a time. And you will only run in the direction you are facing. So if your heart is facing anything other than Allah, it isnโt Him youโre running towards.
Yasmin MogahedDon't think being 'religious' means becoming harsh or hard. When Allah enters a heart, He softens it--He doesn't harden it.
Yasmin MogahedSo often we experience things in life, and yet never see the connections between them. When we are given hardship, or feel pain, we often fail to consider that the experience may be the direct cause or result of another action or experience. Sometimes we fail to recognize the direct connection between the pain in our lives and our relationship with Allah SWT
