I'm not here to be on display. And my body is not for public consumption. I will not be reduced to an object, or a pair of legs to sell shoes. I'm a soul, a mind, a servant of God. My worth is defined by the beauty of my soul, my heart, my moral character. So I won't worship your beauty standards, and I don't submit to your fashion sense. My submission is to something higher.
Yasmin MogahedIgnoring a Reality doesn't make it less Real. It's still going to happen. Being unprepared for something doesn't stop it from happening.
Yasmin MogahedNever 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 MogahedBeauty attracts beauty. If you want to know what you are, look at what you are drawn to.
