Poem: Gain Inner Strength From Loving Allah.


💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 She gains her strength from trusting Allah the Almighty,
Focused on wanting to please no one but Him Only,
Unfazed if she's unpopular to society,
And unafraid if some play mind games out of envy.
~*~

When uninvited from meetings deliberately
Or when overlooked, or treated disrespectfully,
She embraces patience, not guilt nor melancholy,

Not hurt by haters who got no role in her story.
~*~
She knows that valuable treasures can be so costly,
And those who can't afford them reject such jewelry.
So she expects to intimidate the insincere,
Since she defends what's real and loves to speak truthfully.
~*~
Her energy doesn't match those who do things slowly
When being swift and eager become necessary.
Her confidence frightens those with insecurities,
Yet she strives to be kind to her best ability.
~*~
She doesn't want "basic", but "extra" and "mastery".
She's after "excellence", not simply "ordinary".
Thus she makes effort to seek knowledge continuously,
Applying what's learned, and doing good abundantly.
~*~
Because enjoining what's right isn't done by many,
And passiveness became normalized negatively,
Numbers regard her as a show-off full of conceit,
Still she's fine being a lion among flocks of sheep.
~*~
Rejection from people doesn't make her feel lonely,
As her soul is satisfied pleasing Allah solely,
Whether silent or talkative, she remains busy,
Striving so Jannatul Ferdaus is her destiny.
~*~
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: 'If only I had done something else.' Rather say: "Allah has decreed what He wills." Verily, the  phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of shaytan."
Source: Sahih Muslim 2664
Grade: Sahih (Authentic) according to Muslim
Al-Nawawi said, “‘It opens the way for the work of shaytan’ means he casts into the heart opposition to the divine decree and shaytan tempts him with it.”
