Poem: Do Good For Allah And Don't Be Affected By Ignorant Laughter

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

💌 You know how strong you are when you choose to keep going,
Continue serving Allah with your modest clothing,
With niqab and abaya that state "I am Muslim.
I dress to please Allah. I'm not enslaved by fashion."
~•~
You've been there many times - walking by people laughing,
Indicating they're ignorant while rudely staring,
Yet you stood firm and understood well their ignorance.
If they were educated, they wouldn't be mocking.
~•~
Tell yourself each time some clowns laugh at your decision
To be modest for Allah, "Let them laugh. It's nothing.
They likely never traveled, they're so inexperienced,
Or they're morally poor and don't know worldwide customs."
~•~
The more immature "adults" laugh at what you're wearing,
Or the more you get mocked by badly brought up children,
The more you should trust Allah as your faith is strengthened,
And say 'HasbunAllah wa ne'm Al-Wakeel' often.
~•~
Don't feel disheartened by their laughter and derision.
If you're doing the right thing, ignore criticism.
Look forward to more rewards every time you're patient.
Observe who'll be laughing next on the Day of Judgment.
~•~
📖 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.“
