💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Know when Allah loves you, you'll be tested even more.
Getting closer to Allah is what shaytan abhors.
Expect shaytan to distract you with disturbing thoughts,
Waswaas full of false promises and enticing words.
~•~
shaytan can paint mental images to beautify
Evil actions and make them appear grand to your eyes.
Memories of people you like he can sexualize,
Or fantasies of harming them he can dramatize.
~•~
shaytan can keep you busy with imaginations
Of those you admire which could lead to fornication,
Or he can prevent you from making good connections
When you shun a striving Muslim due to suspicion.
~•~
Sinful thoughts, if not controlled, can eventually lead
To actually doing them, assuming they're good deeds.
Unwanted thoughts that nearly resemble OCD
Can be replaced with Adhkaar so your soul can be healed.
~•~
Love yourself enough to ignore shaytan's suggestions.
Remind yourself: Although you like a certain someone,
You prefer Allah's Love, and zina is forbidden.
Seek Allah's help in controlling your way of thinking.
~•~
Your mind is like a glass. If it's filled with noble thoughts,
Dhikr of Allah and plots of ways to gain His Love,
There'd be no space to entertain shaytan's vile waswaas.
Remember Allah a lot, so your heart can relax.
~•~
Maintain Taqwa so your soul's shield is more effective.
Ditch fitna, lower gaze around those deemed attractive,
Recall death often, always seek Islamic knowledge,
Your goals to meet Allah and reach Jannah don't forget.
