Recent posts and praise

Reclaim Your Heart is mirroring the spiritual message of Islam : simple, profound and elevating. Through her personal and intimate journey, Yasmin Mogahed is taking along her reader in a very special way : she speaks from the heart to the heart, and succeeds in appeasing the mind. The success of this book is well deserved and this new edition (with four new chapters) is a gift, full of hope and light. This is a book helping every one of us to come close to the One, close to ones heart. Reclaim Your Heart is all about physical and spiritual reconciliation, through love and with peace. We all need it.

-Tariq Ramadan, Professor

"To put it plainly, this is a book that makes sense of it all. All the heartbreaks, the pain, disappointments and losses that occur are put in their place Dare I say, you may never look at hardship in the same way again."

-Sahil UK

"Mogaheds work reads like advice from a wise counselor or trusted friend, allowing readers to turn its pages for solace and relief when overwhelmed by the pressures of life."

-Azizah Magazine

"The words in this book have the ability to elicit tears, tears which come from knowing and recognizing the truth and then attempting to find this truth within yourself."

"Reclaim Your Heart gave me a whole new perspective on the purpose of life. I dont believe that anyone who reads this book could not benefit from its wisdom."

-SISTERS Magazine

Beyond beautiful Thank you Yasmin, for this beautiful book. You changed my perspective of life and taught me to let go of this illusion we're living in and focus solely on the afterlife. Thank you for letting me believe in second chances. I know I'm not perfect but I plan on working on myself to become a better person. Your words are truly calming and have helped me fall asleep with a smile on my face even through my most difficult nights. Wishing you all the best.

[This book] truly justifies the title this is a book which has helped me a lot and I would love to read it again and again. In particular useful for those souls who are going through [a] difficult phase of their life. A must read.

Ms. Mogahed writes with such a beautifully eloquent voice and conveys such a timeless and necessary message in this book. She writes as though speaking with a friend and lays out her thoughts in a similar way. I could hardly put this book down at all This is a book I would recommend to anyone who feels like there is something "missing" in them; like they are not really whole. While I am not much for the self-help genre as a whole, I believe this book truly hits the nail on the head. If you feel like you have strayed from where you should be, or you know that you have, then this book really has the potential help you bring yourself back to the place where you need to be. Very insightful, yet so simple.

[This book] changed my life it's one of the most amazing books I've ever read. First of all, [it] helped me look to myself and learn to love [myself], also taught me nothing in this world is permanent except the creator and he is the one we can depend on for all things. It was at times difficult to read but only because it's not the easiest thing to dig deep into your heart and soul, but all in all the whole book makes complete sense.

Sister Yasmin has a way with words which reaches your heart and then (more importantly) your head. This book is the answer to the questions which we struggle with as we strive to live our lives more consciously. She has a gentle tone, uses simple logic, [and] is able to connect everything back to our one purpose. For those reasons, and many others, this is a book I re-read frequently and have given as a gift to my dearest friends and relatives.

-Mommy22

This book is a great reminder of how we should think and live. It can actually be applied to Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Yasmin's writing style is very easy to get through. This is the kind of book you can get through quickly but will really benefit you if you sit down and think how these things apply to your life. I will be rereading this book periodically.

This book has changed the way I look at life. There were so many "Aha" moments while reading the chapters. The examples given in the book make it easy to understand, read, and relate to our everyday lives. Reclaim Your Heart is a book you must have in your library. It helps ease the pain that we endure every day. It also helps us understand and accept hardship, loss, love, and grief while backing everything up with Ayat from the Quran, the hadeeth, and stories from the life of prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions.

Inspiring read! This is a well written book that shares how our most important relationship should be with God. The ideals are supported by the Q'uran and the teachings of the Prophet (pbuh). This is a great book for anyone, but especially those like myself who struggle with expectations of this life and expectations from relationships in this life. It gives a true perspective on where we should place our focus. I found it difficult to put down when I started reading; truly inspirational!

-Dana M.

An excellent piece that I could relate to in an instant. What I failed to be able to do in 2 years following a divorce, Alhamdulillah this book provided the closure I needed within a week. Thank you sister Yasmin.

As Salaamu alaykum... this book is phenomenal. I heard the author speak at a convention and bought the book there. I loved it so much that I bought this for my daughter and another sister! I strongly recommend reading it - Yasmin Mogahed explains the matters of the heart in such a way that yours will open up, and be insha Allah filled with Allah (swt)... not things or people. There's so much more than that in this book though, masha Allah. Jazak'Allahu khayran, Sis. Yasmin, for sharing with us your beautiful thoughts, for teaching us, for caring.

-K. Polman

I recommend this book for every one (any age). I have read this book already but every day I have been reading an essay out of it that takes 5 [minutes] to read and it reminds me of this daily life. This book is such a great reminder and help on difficulties we face in this world and gives us hope for the hereafter. Its a must read because [it is so] encouraging.
