Poem: Dear Sisters In Islam, How Are You, Really?

In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 

A poem with some advice written at around three - 
Three A.M. last third of the night, today June twenty,
With Allah's Will, not with AI nor dictionary, 
Intended for every Muslim whether he or she 
Is married, widowed, still single, or a divorcee:
~•~
May Allah's Peace be with you as well as His Mercy,
Dear Muslim, how are you, honestly and truthfully?
After yesterday and the earthquakes which recently 
Occured with Allah's Absolute Wisdom and Decree?
After all the stress and frequent insufficient sleep?
~•~
To answer the question "how are you?", most would likely 
Repeat "I'm fine, Alhamdulillah" while inwardly 
They may feel tired - mentally or emotionally,
And physically. If I were to define "fatigue",
I'd say: "increase in overwhelm, decreased energy..."
~•~
"...Needing more naps, feeling like one's sleep is incomplete,
Forgetting certain facts at times, inability 
To focus when one is praying due to frequently 
Worrying, which results in lacking tranquility - 
Stress is like a star gaining swift popularity...
~•~
Despite advanced technology, fatigue readily 
Greets us now and then as if it's something humans need."
Indeed, it's something we require occasionally,
If through it supplications and Adhkaar are increased,
And each Muslim's level of faith Imaan is revealed.
~•~
Ever felt tired of dealing with people who deceive?
Tired of trusting some loved ones or colleagues who conceal 
Bad intentions, assumptions and intense jealousy?
Tired of too many tasks and responsibilities,
Obstacles here and there, many inconsistencies?
~•~
Tired of waiting for clients to accept your CV,
Willing to work extra hours while many are asleep,
Eager to join those qualified to do charity?
Tired of dishes piling up, competing with laundry?
Tired of betrayal while you strive to be trustworthy?
~•~
Tired of trying to stay awake just to oversleep?
Tired of planning to lose weight only to overeat?
Tired of countless expectations from your family,
Growing number of events in your community,
Or rumors spread about you all because of envy?
~•~
Tired of teaching slow learners who disrespect or tease?
Tired of commuting almost daily on noisy streets?
Tired of multitasking while you babysit, breastfeed,
Or help kids do assignments which seem to never cease?
Tired of news of the oppressed while watching passively?
~•~
What kind of fatigue do you feel? Tell me, honestly.
Physical or mental? Not spiritual, hopefully?
The kind that makes you guess "maybe it's ADHD"?
Or some gave you the evil eye or did sorcery?
Regardless of what kind, fatigue is temporary.
~•~
We're human beings with limited capacity 
To do each task and achieve every goal flawlessly.
In this imperfect dunya, expect difficulties,
Different setbacks, distractions and bold enemies.
Maintain strong connection with Allah to shun defeat.
~•~
From Surah Al-'Asr we learn that those who believe 
In Allah the Almighty, steadfastly do good deeds, 
And remain patient are the ones from humanity 
Who in this world and the next attain true victory,
Calling all to the truth and patience similarly.
~•~
Recall that time when Fatima (RadhiAllahu 'anha) complained of fatigue 
To her father Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) and asked if she
Could have a helper of her own but she just received 
Advice to thank Allah more, say Adhkaar frequently.
~•~
We can't always rely on people to fight fatigue,
As humans tend to get tired or sick eventually.
Their energy levels don't stay high eternally,
Often they may lose motivation or become weak -
So let's depend on Allah. Allah's Help we must seek.
~•~
Stress and tiredness are excellent opportunities 
To read the Noble Qur'an, enjoying inner peace,
And to pray more Sunnah prayers with humility - 
Pray Salat Ad-Duha and Tahajjud when many
Choose to sleep or busy themselves with matters worldly.
~•~
Trust me, the more we mention Allah's Names, the more we
Enjoy serenity mentally and faithfully.
The more we learn Islam and apply what we study,
The farther we are from fitna, spiritual defeat 
And wrong choices. Seek authentic 'ilm relentlessly.
~•~
Try Qailoolah, to not be overcome by fatigue -
Take naps in the daytime - twenty minutes or thirty.
Also take good care of your mind - research more and read.
Be choosey with what you do online. Ditch useless reels
And vlogs with actors. Ignore the toxic and surreal.
~•~
While it's fine to feel tired at times, excessive fatigue 
Could cause some to overthink with negativity -
Until some think of suicide, a major sin which we 
Should avoid. Only Allah is the One Who decrees 
Who from His slaves stay alive and who must leave early.
~•~
When Allah grants us brief trials, He certainly sees
How we have the ability to pass them with ease,
Or solve problems after analyzing carefully,
Or gain life lessons to share with others helpfully.
Dunya is imperfect, not heaven for you and me.
~•~
So once again, I shall ask you: "How are you, really?"
This time, say this "Alhamdulillah", confidently,
"Alhamdulillah for Allah's countless gifts, bounties,
And blessings in disguise such as stress or poverty.
I may not be wealthy, but there's lots of faith in me.
~•~
I may not be very healthy, but I guarantee 
That real happiness and perfect bliss can only be
Found in Jannah Paradise far away from fatigue.
Though I lack quality sleep, I pray that I can reach
Jannatul Ferdaus where the pious souls can rest for eternity. Ameen.

Note: For Allah's Sake Wear The Niqab And Avoid Posting Many Selfies As Much As Possible

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 
   

❎📸 One of the main reasons for covering one's face with the niqab face veil, besides trying to cover as much as one can of one's adornments to emulate how the pious wives of the beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam were also covered modestly, is to please or serve Only Allah the Almighty by leveling up one's modesty and not surrendering oneself to the expectations of modern and misguided society. Whether you've been told you're pretty or if you think you look slightly average, regardless of the shape and color of your face, covering it with the niqab when outdoors isn't meant to show people you traveled to Saudi Arabia or imply you have some connection with Middle Eastern customs, but the purpose of your niqab worn in the presence of non-mahram males and when outside of your home is to value modesty for Allah's sake even further, like how some Muslims go out of their way to pray more Sunnah prayers before and/or after certain mandatory/obligatory prayers to gain more rewards, and when some Muslims put effort in fasting as many Sunnah fasts as they can fast for Allah's sake so their account of good deeds can be filled with more rewards etc.
My question then to some niqabi or munaqqabah or muntaqabah (sorry if I said the actual term incorrectly) would be: If your intention of wearing the niqab is to avoid revealing your beauty to non-mahram males in general, what is the point of uploading loads of photos of yourself and with other niqabi or munaqqabah Muslimahs almost every day, maybe not on your "my day" or story feed but on your timeline with posts mostly set to public so even strange males can spend several minutes staring at your beautiful eyes, curvy figure or decorated hands with vibrant henna or nail polish or numerous rings and bracelets dangling etc.? If you're married, then what sort of man is your husband if he is perfectly okay with his wife uploading tons of selfies on multiple social media accounts? "Dayyouth"?
If you're single, desperately wanting the attention of a potential zawj out there with big cash or fancy job titles, then don't expect to be married to a righteous and respectful Muslim man because real Muslim men would prefer modest Muslim women who refrain from posting selfies and casually adding non-mahram males to their list of online friends. 
And if you're divorced, attempting to annoy or anger your ex-husband by uploading lots of selfies with or without niqab, then he'll actually feel more relieved and happy that he separated from you - if he realizes that you never truly respected him in the first place by making yourself easily accessible and viewable for other males whether he's around or not. 
AstaghfurAllah Al-'Atheem.
I may occasionally take some photos with some of my family, relatives and loved ones but Alhamdulillah I don't make it a habit to consistently upload them on any social networking website even if I may intend to inspire other Muslimahs to love wearing the niqab or dressing modestly for Allah's sake. Some sisters may have noticed a few occasions when I shared with them a number of photos of myself with niqab and abaya, but the motive there was to prove I'm a niqabi Muslim female if ever they assumed I was some dude pretending to be female behind a dummy account. Allah the Almighty knows best. Nevertheless yes we Muslims must avoid taking photos and uploading them online as much as we can. By doing that, we can Inn-sha-Allah value modesty correctly and we're farther away Inn-sha-Allah from the evil impact of 'ayn and sorcery.

Reminder to say lots of Dua every Jumuah Friday and to include the Muslim Ummah in our supplications

❎📸 Ang isa sa mga pangunahing dahilan ng pagtatakip ng mukha gamit ang *niqab*—bukod sa pagsisikap na maitago ang kagandahan at gayak upang tularan ang kapuri-puring kahinhinan ng mga banal na asawa ng ating minamahal na Propeta Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam)—ay ang magbigay-lugod at maglingkod sa Allah na Makapangyarihan sa lahat. Ito ay isang pag-angat sa antas ng iyong *haya* (kahinhinan) sa pamamagitan ng hindi pagpapasakop sa mga pamantayan ng mapanlinlang na makabagong lipunan.
Anuman ang tingin mo sa iyong sarili—maganda man o karaniwan ang hitsura, anuman ang hugis o kulay ng iyong mukha—ang pagsusuot ng *niqab* sa labas ng tahanan ay hindi ginawa upang ipagmayabang na ikaw ay nakarating sa Saudi Arabia, o upang magkunwaring may ugnayan ka sa mga tradisyong Arabe.
> **Gisingin mo ang iyong puso:** Ang tunay na layunin ng *niqab* sa harap ng mga lalaking *non-mahram* (hindi mo kamag-anak) at sa tuwing ikaw ay lalabas, ay ang bigyang-halaga ang kahinhinan nang higit pa alang-alang sa Allah. Katulad ito ng mga Muslim na nagsusumikap magdasal ng mga gawaing *Sunnah* bago at pagkatapos ng mga obligadong obligasyon upang magkamit ng karagdagang gantimpala, o gaya ng mga nag-aayuno sa mga araw ng *Sunnah* upang mapuno ng kabutihan ang kanilang timbangan sa Kabilang-Buhay.
### Ang Tanong na Dapat Mong Harapin
Ang tanong ko ngayon sa mga *munaqqabah* (kababaihang nagna-niqab): **Kung ang tunay na layunin mo sa pagsusuot ng niqab ay ang itago ang iyong kagandahan sa mga lalaking non-mahram, ano pa ang saysay ng walang-humpay na pag-upload ng iyong mga larawan araw-araw?**
Maaaring hindi ito sa iyong "My Day" o *story feed*, ngunit naroon ito sa iyong *timeline* na pampubliko—kung saan ang sinumang dayuhang lalaki ay malayang makakatitig nang matagal sa iyong mga mapang-akit na mata, sa hubog ng iyong katawan, o sa iyong mga kamay na may makukulay na *henna*, kolorete, at naglalakihang mga singsing at pulseras.
 * **Kung ikaw ay may asawa:** Anong klaseng lalaki ang iyong kabiyak kung hinahayaan ka niyang mag-post ng bulto-bultong *selfie* sa iba't ibang social media account? Siya ba ay isang *"Dayyouth"* (lalaking walang pakiari o selos sa karangalan ng kanyang asawa)?
 * **Kung ikaw ay dalaga:** Na naghahangad ng atensyon ng isang mayamang lalaki o may mataas na katungkulan, huwag kang umasang makakatagpo ng isang matuwid at kagalang-galang na lalaking Muslim. Ang isang tunay na lalaking Muslim ay naghahangad ng isang mahinhing babae—isang babaeng umiiwas sa pagpapakita ng *selfie* at hindi basta-basta nagpapasok ng mga estrangherong lalaki sa kanyang buhay-online.
 * **Kung ikaw naman ay hiwalay sa asawa (divorced):** Na nag-a-upload ng mga larawan upang galitin o panghinayangan ng iyong dating asawa, nagkakamali ka. Sa katunayan, makakaramdam siya ng kaginhawaan at tuwa na nagkahiwalay kayo—dahil mapatutunayan niyang kailanman ay hindi mo iginalang ang kanyang karangalan, yayamang ginawa mo pa ring madaling mabusisi at makita ng ibang lalaki ang iyong sarili, may asawa ka man o wala.
### Ang Nararapat na Landas
Maaaring kumuha ako ng ilang larawan kasama ang aking pamilya at mga mahal sa buhay, ngunit *Alhamdulillah*, hindi ko ito ginagawang bisyo na i-post sa social media, sa kabila ng hangaring magbigay-inspirasyon sa ibang Muslimah na mahalin ang *niqab* o ang mahinhing pananamit alang-alang sa Allah.
Kung may ilang pagkakataon man na ibinahagi ko ang aking larawan na naka-*niqab* at *abaya* sa ilang kapatid na babae, ang tanging layunin ko ay patunayan na ako ay isang tunay na babaeng Muslim—upang mapawi ang hinala na ako ay isang lalaking nagtatago sa likod ng isang huwad na account. Ang Allah ang lubos na nakaaalam.
Gayunpaman, tandaan natin: **Dapat nating iwasan ang pagkuha at pagpapakalat ng mga larawan sa internet hangga't maaari.** Sa pamamagitan nito, tunay nating mapangangalagaan ang ating *haya* at mapoprotektahan ang ating sarili mula sa masamang dulot ng *'ayn* (inggit/evil eye) at kulam.
> ✨ **Paalala:** Huwag kalimutang mag-alay ng maraming Dua tuwing araw ng Jumuah (Biyernes), at laging isama ang buong Ummah ng Islam sa inyong mga panalangin.
