They say you don't get over someone until you find someone or something better. As humans, we don't deal well with emptiness. Any empty space must be filled. Immediately. The pain of emptiness is too strong. It compels the victim to fill that place. A single moment with that empty spot causes excruciating pain. That's why we run from distraction to distraction and from attachment to attachment.
Yasmin MogahedIf you want to focus more on Allah in your prayers, focus more on Him outside your prayers.
Yasmin MogahedI get it. Allah put me through it first so I could rise back up and help those around me. He trains you first. Then He sends the people to you and you to the people.
Yasmin MogahedPeople think that tests only come in the form of hardships. Allah also tests us with ease, it's often in the test of ease that we fail most.
