💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Oftentimes I find within me thoughts I wish to share,
Dreams to discuss, secrets too heavy for me to bear,
Questions that need answers, in a quest for friends who care,
Then I hold back when I recall the masks some souls wear.
~•~
If I could confess to this one how they make me feel,
Without fearing ridicule for what I may reveal,
I'd release my emotions so they aren't concealed,
But the concept of friends who never gossip ain't real.
~•~
Each time I see the news or collect information,
I get the urge to indulge in fruitful discussions
Then refrain from self-expression when they're not present -
Like-minded souls who got all day to speak and listen.
~•~
I log in, ready to chat with these, but they're not there.
Of their busyness and offline tasks, yes, I'm aware.
Reach out to those who differ from me I wouldn't dare,
Not out of pride but my life goals don't align with theirs.
~•~
I know the secret struggles with which I often deal,
If they pile up, may cause my heart to be left unhealed,
Hence I release them in the form of Du'as and tears,
Firmly believing Allah never leaves me unheard.
~•~
I distance myself often from people for reasons,
Shunning gossip, feelings that could lead to temptation,
Debates, distractions, and closeness that breeds attraction,
And choose seclusion to preserve my soul's well-being.
~•~
Crying to Allah, for me, is more than sufficient,
As Allah sees my heart and won't laugh at my problems.
A strong bond with Allah keeps us from feeling lonesome.
When Allah tests us in dunya, let's just talk to Him.

📖 Abu Dharr RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “I instruct you to fear Allah in your private and public affairs. If you do a bad deed, then do a good deed. Do not ask anyone for anything, even if you drop your whip. Do not violate what is entrusted, and do not take a position as judge between two people.”
