Poem: Learn From Your Mistakes.

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 As Allah's servants who are prone to err and forget,
As Allah's slaves who are likely to misinterpret,
Misjudge, misread, mistype, misspell, and be incorrect,
Our mistakes are for us to learn from, not stay upset.
~*~
A mistake is often the outcome of clumsiness,
Ignorance, hastiness, or lack of self-awareness.
When you make errors, instead of remaining distressed 
Or ashamed, learn from the past and keep doing your best.
~*~
Regardless of how many wrongs you have committed,
Let every fault push you to decrease conceitedness,
Take blunders as reminders to increase humbleness,
And allow flaws to proclaim 'no human is perfect'.
~*~
If previously you showed some people foul disrespect,
If you've hurt someone before with statements offensive,
Behaved unfairly, was too passive or aggressive,
Be strong enough to reform, get yourself corrected.
~*~
When you should, say sorry and be apologetic.
Admit you were wrong. Don't self-destruct with injustice.
Attempt to be more mindful, extra deliberate,
And think twice before an act or you could regret it.
~*~
If ever your careless choices lead to long-term stress,
Cry to Allah about them on a prayer carpet,
Praying for Allah's Mercy and hoping He forgives,
Eager to improve and be more mature from your mess.
~*~
Say more Dhikr and do good to express thankfulness 
To Allah and with His slaves be willing to assist.
Grow from each letdown, heartbreak, moment of awkwardness.
Patiently keep striving to pass dunya's short-lived tests.

📖 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.“
