Stop trying to make this life into what it cannot and never was intended to be: jennah. Only then will it stop breaking your heart.
Yasmin MogahedBefore anything can break your heart, it must first own your heart. Stop handing your heart to dunya-it'll stop breaking it.
Yasmin MogahedMy laughter won't last forever but neither will my tears. We say this life isn't perfect. And it isn't. It isn't perfectly good. But, it also isn't perfectly bad, either.
Yasmin MogahedSometimes you search so hard for words. You look for a way to interpret the language of this heart and the unspoken bond you feel. But in the end you are left with nothing but silence. And deep down you hope itโs understood.
