Poem: Learn To Keep Secrets.


💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 If you couldn't hide a secret, what makes you assume
That your close friends, if it's disclosed, can keep it for you?
Souls with genuine integrity are very few.
Some ex-friends may expose you when you're in a dispute.
~*~
No matter how juicy your secrets are, or how cool,
And whether or not they concern things you used to do,
Train yourself to conceal them so they won't be diffused.
Reveal them only to those whose honesty is true.
~*~
Trustworthy friends whom you can count on are uncommon.
It's common for most females to enjoy backbiting,
Criticizing and making fun of other women,
To emphasize they're insecure, or out of boredom.
~*~
Entrusting your secrets to others can bring problems.
If you want a dream explained, if you adore someone,
If you wish to confess there are awful acts you've done,
Discuss them with Allah through Du'a/supplication.
~*~
By trusting Allah Only with rewarding patience,
Keeping our secrets undisclosed won't be a burden.
Strive to master self-control and meaningful silence
For Allah's sake, and stay content we trust Only Him.
~*~
📖 An-Nawwas Ibn Sam’an RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Righteousness is good character, and sin is what wavers in your heart and you hate for people to find out about it."
