๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐ You know you’re strong if you’re overwhelmed by depression,
Instead of taking your life you choose to keep going,
Still praying to Allah, trusting Him, with a mission
To see Allah in Jannah, our real destination.
~•~
You know you’re strong when you shun what’s haraam/forbidden,
No matter how much you find that sin so appealing,
You avoid it for Allah’s sake with steadfast patience,
Knowing Jannah is better than joys not permanent.
~•~
You’re really strong if you can prevent intense feelings
From controlling you and taking over your actions.
Whether angry, sad, jealous, or in love with someone,
You do what’s right - don’t act on misleading emotions.
~•~
Just because you’re tough though doesn’t mean you can’t go wrong.
There will be moments when you slip, err, and break the flow
Of your plans to improve, so you lose track of your goals.
Return to Allah when you sin or when moods drop low.
~•~
Take breaks when you need to, but never forget your goal
To meet Allah in Jannatul Ferdaus, our true home,
Where Muslims who bravely fought against desires belong,
Where fears, heartbreaks and sorrow will forever be gone.

๐ 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.“
