Poem: Learn From Past Mistakes And Do Your Best To Serve Allah

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

💌 You're not a coward if you've failed or slipped many times,
As cowards lack the courage to try, fight, and aspire
To fulfill their soul's purpose and do what Allah likes.
Don't join the quitters who give up after they've once tried.
~•~
Being lied to often, mistakes made once in a while,
Making misjudgments and trusting the wrong types at times
Don't signify you're a fool. You're a human who's kind,
Aware you're not designed to be perfect all the time.
~•~
Liars and betrayers have taught us not to rely
On anyone except our God Allah the Most Wise.
Our flaws, blunders and incorrect assumptions remind
Us we're not flawless. Thus vile pride must be put aside.
~•~
Expect holes, obstacles and tests on your left and right,
Challenging exams in which your heart vies with your mind.
Mountains of problems and mood swings may emerge sometimes,
But with patience and trust in Allah you can survive.
~•~
When you fall into a hole, climb and patiently rise.
When critics use insults to pull you downwards, don't slide.
Let harsh words inspire you to work harder and aim high,
Trusting Allah and keeping firm faith/Imaan inside.
~•~
When thoughts like "I shouldn't have done it!", "if only I..."
And "if I could travel back in time..." often chastise,
Defeat your negative thinking with positive vibes.
Accept what Allah gives and what He takes or denies.
~•~
Let sorrow and hurt emotions have you purified.
Let sins be expiated with every tear you cry.
For Allah keep striving to pass the trials in life
Till you reach Jannah after all your efforts and tries.
~•~

📖 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.“
