Never 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.
Yasmin MogahedBeware of what you let enter your heart. There will come a day when you'd give anything to remove it.
Yasmin MogahedWe are two people. The person inside and the person outside. Sidq (truthfulness) is when they are the same.
Yasmin MogahedIn dunya, the image is always better than the reality. In Jennah, the Reality is better than any image ever could be.
Yasmin MogahedTo all those broken or hopeless, I have learned this: Be grateful for every single person who was part of your story. The ones that hurt you. The ones that helped you. The ones that came, and the ones that left. They all taught you. Don't think for a moment that any of it was random. There are no oversights with God. Only perfectly crafted chapters in each unique journey.
