💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Be wise enough to realize why Allah made you,
Strong enough to accept His Qadr with gratitude,
Brave enough to not compare friends' skills with what you do,
Competing against no one; just striving to improve.
~*~
When most women would brag and get jealous easily,
Claiming things like "I'm wealthy", "I got married early",
"My hair is fancy", "I have twins", "My hubby's Saudi",
Be among the few content with Allah's Destiny.
~*~
We're not in a competition for worldly pleasures,
Not here to prove who's richer and whose house is bigger.
Instead of working to show you're better or smarter,
Do more of Allah's Orders to gain extra ajar.
~*~
You're pretty? Good for you. Don't let your looks be misused.
Wear hijab. Ditch the selfies. Know modesty's virtues.
Finding others prettier shouldn't shrink your value.
Recall the disabled and put yourself in their shoes.
~*~
You run a business? Pray to Allah that it is blessed.
Ensure your earnings are halal to pass Allah's tests.
When other entrepreneurs succeed, don't be upset.
Focus on what Allah gave to reach your own success.
~*~
Still single? Few kids or no children yet? Don't worry.
Stay chaste and pray. Allah's timing is always timely.
Your worth isn't based on the size of your family,
Nor marital status, but your faith and piety.
~*~
While many people compete for fame or tons of likes,
Or they work hard to achieve a luxurious lifestyle,
Join Allah's allies enriched with contentment inside,
At peace, free from envy, as they strive for Paradise.
