Poem: Allah Grants Us What We Need, Not Always What We Want

 💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

💌 Since everything on earth is under Allah's Control,
And Allah has authority over every soul,
Not all humans have their dreams come true nor reach their goals -
What's accessible to some, others cannot afford,
Some plans go well, while others fail even if they're forced.
~•~
You can learn to like some people, but love won't take place
If Allah prevents it and it's not part of your fate.
You can try to maintain friendships and have each bond saved,
But if Allah wants to save you, He may separate
You from souls with bad intent who could weaken your faith.
~•~
Make effort to get richer with businesses you run,
But if Allah knows that in this kind of profession
There's no blessing but distractions from your life mission,
Instant success and satisfaction may not happen,
So Allah trains you to live simply and stay patient.
~•~
If for a long time you've been searching for your "soulmate",
Received no proposals, or 'single' won't fit your age,
Know that Allah wrote your life story. Don't be dismayed.
Perhaps one of your tests involves requiring to wait
Patiently for flawless romance in Jannah someday.
~•~
Always remember that Allah is the One Who grants,
Withholds, provides, decreases, increases, hears, responds,
And gives you what your soul needs - not always what you want,
To check if you'll keep going, if you have strong Imaan,
And to test if you truly deserve Jannah's entrance.

📖 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.“

📖 Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "There is no Muslim who calls upon Allah, without sin or cutting family ties, but that Allah will give him one of three answers: He (Allah) will quickly fulfill his supplication, He will store it for him in the Hereafter, or He will divert an evil from him similar to it." They said, “In that case we will ask for more.” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “Allah has even more."
