Shaytan will tell you that you’re not worthy, so give up. But his traps are based on lies. When was any of it because of *your* worth? It was all because of His mercy, His generosity, His love of giving, and forgiving. And those qualities don’t change because you’re messing up. Just seek them. Call Him by His mercy, not by your deeds.
Yasmin MogahedIf you worshipped Muhammad, know that Muhammad is dead. But if you worshipped Allah, know that Allah never dies.
Yasmin MogahedOn that Day, we will see the true reality. On that Day, we will realize that two rak`at (units) of prayer were greater than everything in the heavens and the earth. We will realize the priceless check that was left on our doorstep every night as we slept. There will come a day when we would give up everything under the sky just to come back and pray those two rak`at.
Yasmin MogahedAllah does not withhold to withhold. Remaking the heart was the objective. To remake it, He sometimes breaks it first.
Yasmin MogahedEverything in this life is only a glimpse of the real thing. Love, beauty, pleasure, even pain in its true essence is only in the next.
