Poem: You Don't Need To Be Perfect, Just Do Your Best.

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 As Muslims, Alhamdulillah, do not be depressed.
Be grateful to Allah you’re among those He guided
To the Truth Islam, with Taqwa to pass every test.
You’re not expected to be perfect; just do your best
To serve Allah until Jannah is where you can rest.
~•~
When you feel you’re lacking something, recall those with less.
Not pretty enough? Inner beauty shines through kindness,
While beautiful hearts glow by practicing forgiveness.
Worried about small income? It’s fine. You can get rich
By saying Du'a and striving to stay contented.
~•~
Can’t afford branded shoes? Know some have paralyzed legs,
Numbers can’t see, while some survive without arms or wrists.
Don’t own a luxury house? Remember the homeless,
Those behind bars, refugees worldwide, and the oppressed.
Jannah, not dunya, is where we’ll find eternal bliss.
~•~
Feeling misunderstood? Unwanted? Somehow friendless?
With Mercy from Allah, there’s no need to be distressed.
So long as Allah loves us, we won’t be affected
Negatively by offence and insults from critics.
Pleasing Allah, not His slaves, keeps us motivated.
~•~
Remind yourself, this world’s hardships are temporal tests.
Strive for success in both worlds with your desires suppressed.
Maintain patience for Allah and you’ll be rewarded.
Pray that we meet Allah in Jannah, and His Prophets,
As a prize for not giving up Islam when tested.

📖 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.
