Reclaim Your Heart

by Yasmin Mogahed

And if there is one recipe for unhappiness it is that: expectations.

If you worshipped Muhammad, know that Muhammad is dead. But if you worshipped Allah, know that Allah never dies.”

Similarly, when something happens that you dislike, or that hurts you, be careful not to get lost in the illusion created by pain. Look through it. Find the message in the bottle. Find the purpose. And let it lead you to glimpse just a little more of Him.

By being ‘strange’ to this dunya, we can live in it, without being of it.
