As Muslim women, we have been liberated from this silent bondage. We donโt need societyโs standard of beauty or fashion, to define our worth. We donโt need to become just like men to be honored, and we donโt need to wait for a prince to save or complete us. Our worth, our honor, our salvation, and our completion lies not in the slave. But, in the Lord of the slave.
Yasmin MogahedLike the sun that sets at the end of the day, so too will Ramadan come and go, leaving only it's mark on our heart's sky.
Yasmin MogahedBeauty attracts beauty. If you want to know what you are, look at what you are drawn to.
Yasmin MogahedPeople think it's the mind that drives us. It is the heart. The mind is a slave to the heart. So check the condition of the heart.
Yasmin MogahedHow could you feel worthless when God has honoured you by creating you and choosing you to be with Him, in this life and the next? You are worthy. You are worthy of love. You are worthy of respect. You haven't failed. You're beautiful. Only the beautiful can see beauty. Never doubt your beauty. Never doubt your worth. It's not about how much you make, your grades, what people say or think. It's about you and God. It's about your heart. The blinding beauty of your heart.
