God tells me to cover myself, to hide my beauty and to tell the world that Iโm not here to please men with my body; Iโm here to please God. God elevates the dignity of a womanโs body by commanding that it be respected and covered, shown only to the deserving - only to the man I marry.
Yasmin MogahedDon't expect your spouse to be perfect. He/she is only the dunya version of themselves. Their 'perfect' version is saved for jennah.
Yasmin MogahedDon't lie to me. Don't deceive me. Give me the truth. Even if it breaks me. A painful truth is better than a pleasant lie.
Yasmin MogahedI'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.
