In any nation, the hypocrites do not become apparent except during times of fitnah (severe tests and hardships).
Yasmin MogahedDonโt despair if your heart has been through a lot of trauma. Sometimes thatโs how beautiful hearts are remade: they are shattered first.
Yasmin MogahedGod tells me to cover myself, to hide my beauty and to tell the world that Iโm not here to please men with my body; Iโm here to please God. God elevates the dignity of a womanโs body by commanding that it be respected and covered, shown only to the deserving - only to the man I marry.
Yasmin MogahedAllah manages everything in the heavens and earthโthe sun, the moon, the starsโwith perfection, and yet we donโt trust Him to manage our lives!
Yasmin MogahedNever lose hope. Stay close to Allah and when you mess up, go back to Him. Never, ever stop going back to Him. Repent often. Cry to Allah. And hold on tight-with your life-to His remembrance and to prayer. If you do this, you may get wet, but insha Allah never drown in this ocean of dunya.
