Reclaim Your Heart

Product Information

It sounds comical, but the truth is, we put the needs of our body above the needs of our soul. We feed our bodies, because if we didn’t, we’d die. But so many of us starve our souls, forgetting that if we are not praying our soul is dead. And ironically, the body that we tend to is only temporary, while the soul that we neglect is eternal.” The words in this book are not meagre words, they are words that have the ability to elicit tears, tears which come from knowing and recognizing the truth and then attempting to find this truth within yourself.” Dalam syahadat kita mengakui secara verbal dan dilakukan dengan amal nyata bahwa Allah adalah satu-satunya objek penyembahan, pengabdian, cinta, rasa takut, dan pengharapan. Dengan begitu maka pemisahan dengan dunia akan tercapai. Dengan shaum kita akan dipaksa untuk melepaskan diri dari kebutuhan fisik, keinginan dan kesenangan kita. Maka dengan hal tersebut, rohani akan lebih tertata.

That broken heart and that pain are lessons and signs for us. They are warnings that something is wrong. They are warnings that we need to make a change. Just like the pain of being burned is what warns us to remove our hand from the fire, emotional pain warns us that we need to make an internal change. We need to detach. Pain is a form of forced detachment. Like the loved one who hurts you again and again and again, the more dunya hurts us, the more we inevitably detach from it. The more we inevitably stop loving it. And pain is a pointer to our attachments. That which makes us cry, that which causes us the most pain is where our false attachments lie. And it is those things which we are attached to as we should only be attached to Allah which become barriers on our path to God. But the pain itself is what makes the false attachment evident. The pain creates a condition in our life that we seek to change, and if there is anything about our condition that we don’t like, there is a divine formula to change it. God says: “Verily never will God change the condition of a people until they change what is within themselves.” (Qur’an, 13:11) After years of falling into the same pattern of disappointments and heartbreak, I finally began to realize something profound. I had always thought that love of dunya meant being attached to material things. And I was not attached to material things. I was attached to people. I was attached to moments. I was attached to emotions. So I Kebebasan bukan berarti tidak bergantung dengan siapapun atau apapun. Namun kebebasan adalah hanya bergantung kepada Allah Swt. Ada kalanya saat berharap kepada orang lain, kekecewaan yang justru kita dapatkan, karena ternyata harapan kita melebihi kemampuan seseorang dan kenyataan yang ada (duh bingung ngomonginnya gimana). Intinya jangan pernah takut sendiri, karena selalu ada Allah. feel that you′re so close to me!

DEDICATION “This book is dedicated, in its entirety, to the One who has raised me even before I was in my mother’s womb. It is dedicated to the One who has taught me, inspired me and guided me throughout my life. I dedicate this humble endeavor to God, and I only pray that in spite of my weakness, it may be accepted, and to my family who has supported me throughout the journey.” Put only Allah in heart. Selama ini mungkin sering banget aku kecewa karena tidak mendapatkan hasil yang sesuai dengan keinginan. Kenapa hal ini bisa terjadi? Ini terjadi karena aku masih meletakkan hal tersebut di hati. Seharusnya satu-satunya mengisi hati kita hanyalah Allah Swt. Sedangkan untuk yang lainnya, baik orang lain ataupun barang-barang kesukaan kita, letakkanlah di tangan agar bila suatu saat orang yang kita sayangi atau barang yang kita sukai itu pergi dan hilang, kita ga akan sakit hati, setidaknya cuma sakit tangan aja (?)

without praying or going daily to the Masjid or going to my daily halaqas. Yasmin, I cannot thank you enough for posting this article and really getting deep into everyone’s hearts. I listened to what you said; I took the keys from the dunya and gave them to the Creator. You are such an inspiring woman and I look up to you:) Thank you so so much. —Humaira May Allah (swt) reward you with Firdous (the highest heaven). Ameen. I cannot even express what a blessing you are sister Yasmin. Your coming into my life through your writing strengthens my emaan (faith) day by day alhamdulillah (all praise is due to God) and inspires so many of my friends and loved ones with whom I often share your work with! Allah swt has truly answered your dua if you prayed to be used as a tool to guide the ummah!:) —Hajera M. I wasn't following Yasmin's blog or was aware of her writings until I noticed her name a lot on Facebook & the latest RIS Conference in Canada. Selain tentang tauhid buku ini juga mengajarkan banyak topik lainnya. Aku mau nulis beberapa pelajaran yang bisa aku ambil setelah membaca buku ini (sebenernya banyak banget sih, tapi ini cuma aku tulis sebagian): had I not learned and reflected on your writings, I don′t think I would be who I am today, handling the loss of one of my favorite people in the world. I would like to say it was one specific piece of writing that inspired me, but it wasn′t; it was your entire collection. I make dua Allah rewards you immensely, and continuously inspires you and allows you to keep doing what you′re doing. May Allah bless and protect your loved ones. Please make dua for my father. —Aala I would like to extend my gratitude to you, for changing my life completely, Allah bless you dear. I was going through terrible phase of my life, darkness, depression, hollowness and negativity was all over me. Then I stumbled upon your articles. Enlightened I am now! Alhamadulillah. Thank you and keep writing as Allah ″the Great″ has blessed you with this quality. May Allah accept all duaa′s (supplications) I′m making for you ….actually this the only one thing I can say, because no words are enough! —Maryam I. Your words hit me so hard I had to slow down whilst reading and breathe. I always took pride in not being superficial, in not being materialistic all the while depending on people I loved to make me happy. And whennot realize it, but so many of your points really hit home with all of the problems we are dealing with in this world. In this current world where everything seems to be going downhill, you represent more than just a ″good writer″ or a ″good lecturer″; you represent hope! Hope that there are still genuine and pure people out there. Also you may not know this but what people often say about you is that there is something ever so comforting about your presence and not something one can put their finger on. I personally put this down to truth. When someone speaks such true words in your presence the heart cannot help but react. You have helped many people make it through the darkest of times and for that may Allah reward you. You have gotten a lot of people to do good deeds which they wouldn′t have done before and for that may Allah reward you. Inshallah your hasanat (good deeds) keep rolling over like the millionaire’s dollars keep rolling. But the difference is on the day of Judgment. Inshallah you will be a billion times wealthier then they are and I hope to bear witness to that. I hope you are welcomed by the Prophet Muhammed with the biggest of smiles and warmest of hugs as you are one of his followers who have genuinely tried to make a difference in this world and you HAVE made a difference. In the topic of relationship, she explains the relationship of the people with the Creator and His mercy on the people. She tells us about the status of women in this society and their importance according to Islam. Being the ummah of our beloved prophet (PBUH) we must have firm faith in Allah and focus upon our religion as Allah says in the Quran, “Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of people until they first change what is in themselves.”

Masalahnya bukanlah rasa lapar atau rasa dingin. Masalahnya adalah apakah kita memilih bekal yang dibutuhkan ketika rasa lapar dan dingin itu datang. Jika begitu, rasa lapar maupun rasa dingin tadi takkan menyentuh kita. Takkan dapat menyakiti. Masalahnya adalah ketika rasa lapar datang, kita tidak memiliki makanan. Masalahnya adalah ketika badai salju menerjang, kita tidak memiliki tempat berlindung. this as if life was either all good or all bad. But that is not what the ayah is saying. The ayah is saying WITH hardship comes ease. The ease is at the same time as the hardship. This means that nothing in this life is ever all bad (or all good). In every bad situation we’re in, there is always something to be grateful for. With hardship, Allah also gives us the strength and patience to bear it. If we study the difficult times in our lives, we will see that they were also filled with much good. The question is— which do we chose to focus on? I think the trap we fall into is rooted in this false belief that this life can be perfect—perfectly good or perfectly bad. However that’s not the nature of dunya (this life). That’s the nature of the hereafter. The hereafter is saved for the perfection of things. Jannah (paradise) is perfectly and completely good. There is no bad in it. And Jahannam (hell—may Allah protect us) is perfectly and completely bad. There is no good in it. By not truly understanding this reality, I myself would become consumed by the momentary circumstances of my life (whether good or bad). I experienced each situation in its full intensity—as if it was ultimate or would never end. The way I was feeling at the moment transformed the whole world and everything in it. If I was happy in that moment, past and present, near and far, the entire universe was good for that moment. As if perfection could exist here. And the same happened with bad things. A negative

Akibatnya kita sering menemui kekecewaan dan kehilangan. Karena sifat dunia adalah fana dan tidak sempurna. Padahal, Allah menempatkan hasrat di dalam diri kita hanya bisa dipenuhi oleh sesuatu yang kekal dan sempurna. Sehingga penderitaan sering menimpa hidup kita. Semua itu, sesungguhnya disebabkan oleh satu hal dan hanya oleh satu hal: cinta terhadap dunia.My love for Allah has grown so much. May Allah bless her and help her to inspire even more people insaAllah. Jika hati Anda berisi dengan kehidupan duniawi, makanan, hiburan, dan kesenangan-kesenangan lainnya, maka Tuhan tidak akan masuk ke hati Anda. Kosongkan terlebih dahulu hati, maka Allah pun akan mengisi. Jika hati diisi oleh Tuhan, maka kehidupan akan terasa lebih baik terasa. Karena perasaan yang dimiliki bukan lagi takut kehilangan dunia, tetapi yakin bahwa hidup Anda bersama Tuhan maka akan senantiasa dalam penjagaan-Nya.
