When you suffer, don't speak. Look inside and listen for the duaa He inspires in you. and then ask Him. Again and again. Don't stop.
Yasmin MogahedThe body that we tend to is only temporary, while the soul that we neglect is # eternal .
Yasmin MogahedDon't think being 'religious' means becoming harsh or hard. When Allah enters a heart, He softens it--He doesn't harden it.
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.
