Yasmin Mogahed Quotes

Think For A Moment About An Emergency Siren. What Is Its Purpose? The Siren Is An Indication And A Warning That Something Harmful Is Coming. If We Hear It, We Naturally Panic. But What Happens When They Need To Test The Siren? What Happens When It's Just A Drill To See How We Will React? The Test Siren Sounds Exactly The Same, But It Is "only A Test." Although It Looks, Sounds, And Feels Real, It Is Not. It Is Only A Test. And We're Reminded Of That Again And Again Throughout The Test. This Is Exactly What Allah Tells Us About This Life. It Is Going To Look, Sound, And Feel Very, Very Real. At Times It's Going To Scare Us. At Times It's Going To Make Us Cry. At Times It's Going To Make Us Flee, Instead Of Standing Firm - Even More Firm - In Our Places. But This Life And Everything In It Is Only A Test. It Is Not Actually Real. And Like That Test Of The Emergency Broadcast System; It Is Training Us For What Is Real.
