In any nation, the hypocrites do not become apparent except during times of fitnah (severe tests and hardships).
Yasmin MogahedIf you seek Him, God can raise you up, and replace the darkness of the ocean, with the light of His Sun.
Yasmin MogahedDon't let this Ramadan be just a holiday of rituals. Don't finish reading the Quran without it transforming you. Don't feed your body at suhoor, but starve your heart of Qiyam. Don't reduce this downpour of mercy to just a month of sweets and lavish iftars. Seek Him, you will find. Take a sincere step towards change, transformation, redemption. If you do, you will find Him in front of you. Find Him this month. He's been there all along. Closer than your jugular vein. Look and you'll find. Walk and you'll arrive.
Yasmin MogahedStop hating on yourself for not being perfect. If God wanted perfection, He would have made you an angel.
