Before anything can break your heart, it must first own your heart. Stop handing your heart to dunya-it'll stop breaking it.
Yasmin MogahedAs Muslim women, we have been liberated from this silent bondage. We donโt need societyโs standard of beauty or fashion, to define our worth. We donโt need to become just like men to be honored, and we donโt need to wait for a prince to save or complete us. Our worth, our honor, our salvation, and our completion lies not in the slave. But, in the Lord of the slave.
Yasmin MogahedWhen you're faced with a choice, remember this: Everything else will pass away. Your family. Your friends. Your material possessions. Your beauty. Your youth. Your life. And there is only one thing that remains. Ask yourself: Which are you chasing?
