Poem: Dear Self, Don't Give Up.


💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Dear self, don't give up. Allah knows you're trying your best.
Live life not to be "perfect" but to pass Allah's tests
By maintaining patience and thanking what Allah gives,
Persevering and looking forward for Jannah's bliss.
~*~
No matter how many times you disobeyed Allah,
And wronged Allah's servants, always repent. Do Tawbah.
Aware we're not flawless and this world is a fitna,
Keep striving as Muslims till we make it to Jannah.
~*~
To err, fall, and face failures often it's expected,
Since we're humans and dunya is brief and imperfect.
When our level of faith drops low or when we forget,
We should rush to Allah and pray for His Forgiveness.
~*~
If we've mistreated some, include them in our Du'as,
Praying that Allah forgives them and our misconduct.
Expiate sins through increasing good deeds and Salah,
Performing Tahajjud and charity/Sadaqah.
~*~
Be kind to your soul by leaving what's prohibited,
Defeating bad thoughts, while seeking Islamic knowledge.
Regardless of past errors and wrongdoings you did,
Rise with hope and Sabr. Know Allah loves to forgive.
~*~
