Poem: Patience With Allah's Servants

πŸ’ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
πŸ’Œ Your value to Allah Almighty doesn’t decrease
If some of Allah’s servants act like staunch enemies,
Or they mistreat you to emphasize grim jealousy,
Or falsely accuse you of being a nobody.
~•~
You’re a Muslim, even if some declare you’re “ugly”.
You’re unique, even if told you’re “of low quality”.
You’re Allah’s servant, a fighter and warrior who’s fierce,
Who combats shaytan, not wanting his vile waswaas heard.
~•~
Keep doing good for Allah, even if you’re accused
Of riyaa or inflating ego when that’s not true.
Allah granted you gifts, so use them with gratitude.
When haters criticize, maintain grateful attitude.
~•~
Perhaps the light in your heart repels the insecure,
Or your firm Imaan drives away those with hearts impure.
Regardless of insulting remarks, remain assured,
And recall that Only Allah has right to judge you.
~•~
It doesn’t matter if many root for you or not,
Nor is it an issue if by some folks you’re misjudged.
In your grave your righteous actions are all that you got.
One can’t be called a “loser” when they’ve gained Allah’s Love.
~•~
πŸ“– Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri RadhiAllahu ‘anhu narrated: Some people from the Ansaar asked the Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam and he gave them. Then they asked for charity again and he SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam gave them. Then they asked again and he SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam gave them until all he had was gone. The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “If I had anything, I would not withhold it. Whoever refrains from asking others, then Allah will make him content. Whoever would be independent, then Allah will make him independent. Whoever would be patient, then Allah will make him patient. There is no gift that is better and more comprehensive than patience.”
