Poem: Enrich Your Heart With Islam And Allah's Love

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

💌 The Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam), the leader of all mankind,

Didn't live lavishly but had a simple lifestyle.

Being rich or enjoying dunya isn't a sign

That someone is blessed or loved by Allah the Most High.

~•~

Sometimes when Allah loves you, He'll help you realize

The reality of this world and guide you to strive,

To accept what Allah chose, to prefer Paradise,

And to be patient with less wealth in this fleeting life.

~•~

It's not a shame to feel poor or broke once in a while,

When wallets get empty or there are just coins inside,

When your fridge still has tons of gaps to be occupied,

Or on canned foods, eggs and limited rice you rely.

~•~

Remember the Prophet (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) how he lived his noble life -

He never overate nor costly food did he try,

So who are we to insist we financially thrive

And act richer than the best soul among humankind?

~•~

It's fine to enjoy halal blessings from time to time.

What's shameful is getting too attached to this short life,

Looking down on those who can't afford things that are nice,

And sizing up people's worth by how much they've acquired.

~•~

The money that Allah sent you - spend it to be kind,

Utilize it in ways that please Allah the Most Wise:

Help the needy, the orphans, women whose husbands died,

And assist Islamic schools that aim to teach what's right.

~•~

In case you deal with financial struggles oftentimes,

Simply always depend on Allah, patiently strive,

And of Jannah's eternal treasures yourself remind.

Smile, knowing your heart is enriched with Islam inside.

📖 Narrated `Imran bin Husain RadhiAllahu 'anhu: The Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "I looked into Paradise and found that the majority of its inhabitants were from the poor people, and I looked into the Hellfire and found that the majority of its dwellers were women."

Sahih Al-Bukhari 6449

📖 'Umar ibn Al-Khattab RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: I entered the room of the Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam while he was lying on his side over a mat. I sat down as he drew up his lower garment and he was not wearing anything else. The mat had left marks on his side. I looked at the Prophet’s cupboard and I saw a handful of barley in a small amount, the same of mimosa leaves in the corner, and a leather bag hanging to the side. My eyes started to tear up, and the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “What makes you weep, son of Khattab?” I said, “O Prophet of Allah, why should I not cry that this mat has left marks on your side and I see little in your cupboard? Caesar and Khosrau live among fruits and springs, while you are the Messenger of Allah and His chosen one, yet this is your cupboard.” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “O son of Khattab, are you not pleased that they are for us in the Hereafter and for them in the world?” I said, “Of course.”

Grade: Sahih (Authentic) according to Muslim

📖 Jabir ibn Abdullah RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: The Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam passed through the market from a higher part of the city and people were looking at him from both sides. The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam passed by the carcass of a one-eared goat and he reached out to take its ear. The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “Which one of you would like this for a coin?” They said, “Who among us would want it while it is worth nothing? What would we do with it?” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said three times, “Would you like to have it?” They said no each time and said, “No, by Allah, if it were alive it would be defective as it only has one ear. How so if it were dead?” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “By Allah, the worldly life is less important to Allah than this is to you.”
