When we canโt marry the person we had in mind, our inability to look beyond may even blind sight us from someone who is in fact better for us. When we donโt get hired, or we lose something dear to us, itโs hard to take a step back and notice the bigger picture. Often Allah takes things away from us, only to replace them with something greater.
Yasmin MogahedDon'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 MogahedWhen you Rectify your Relationship with the Creator, He Rectifies your relationship with All of the Creation.
Yasmin MogahedDon't expect your spouse to be perfect. He/she is only the dunya version of themselves. Their 'perfect' version is saved for jennah.
