Poem: To The Suicidal Souls Wherever You Are


💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 A letter to those thinking of committing suicide,
To the suicidal souls and those broken from inside,
Who soak their pillows with tears yet in daytime they smile,
And who feel like they can't handle a challenging life.
~•~
Realize that when Allah loves us, trials arise
To examine our faith and test in what ways we're wise,
To elevate our station in Jannah Paradise,
Where the patient can be grateful they chose to survive.
~•~
I understand that heartbreaks and worries aren't nice,
That it's not always easy to resist when enticed,
To forgo what our nafs likes, to combat vile desires,
To put ego under control and surrender pride.
~•~
Nonetheless we're here to serve Allah, keep that in mind.
Obeying Allah is what we must prioritize,
Praying to God Allah for as long as we're alive,
And doing what Allah ordered despite being tired.
~•~
Note: As Allah's slaves, it's our duty to sacrifice
And worship Allah, and to never think He's not Kind.
Allah has granted countless blessings to humankind.
It's shaytan who corrupts and causes some to defy.
~•~
Impatience, greed and envy are traits shaytan inspires,
Along with persistence upon rebellion and lies,
Advocating wrongs, forgetting one's mission in life,
And cancelling the exam to decline Allah's Rights.
~•~
So never contemplate suicide. It doesn't solve strife,
It can't fix the past nor can it make sorrow expire.
Wherever we go on earth all kinds of tests we'll find.
To pass them, be a Muslim and on Allah rely.
~•~
From being Muslim is to have patience when we're tried,
To seek Allah's Pardon when we do what He dislikes,
And pray to Allah Who is Above the mighty skies
Until we meet Allah the Most Loving and Most Kind.
~•~
Learn about Islam so your Imaan level stays high.
Talk to Allah. Say Dhikr and Du'a day and night.
Note: We're never lonely when Allah is by our side,
And sadness wipes out sins so we're pure for Paradise.
