So often it hurts us that we are not able to focus in our prayers. Remember, the more you focus on Allah outside your salah, the easier it will be to focus on Him inside your salah. What occupies you in salah, is what occupies you outside of salah. Try to fill your mind and heart with Allah as much as you can throughout your day. Talk to Him, make duaa to Him constantly. This will build your personal relationship with Him. Then, going to salah will be like coming home to an old friend.
Yasmin MogahedTake care of the hearts you've been entrusted with. Once lost, they can be lost from you forever.
Yasmin MogahedStop hating on yourself for not being perfect. If God wanted perfection, He would have made you an angel.
Yasmin MogahedWhen 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.
