Poem: You Have The Freewill To Do What Leads You To Your Goals

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

💌 You can stay in bed throughout the morning feeling sad,
Recalling your past and recounting things you don't have,
Or you can pray Salat Ad-Duha and say Du'as,
And do your best to serve Allah with the means you've got.
~•~
You can browse the web and stalk users whom you envy,
Watching daily vlogs that cause self-doubt and jealousy,
Or listen to lectures that enhance your piety,
And read quotes or writings that breed positivity.
~•~
You can disturb your heart by fighting with your haters,
Arguing offline and online with keyboard warriors,
Or you can improve yourself by practicing Sabr,
And forgive for Allah's sake and leave troublemakers.
~•~
You can spend your free time listening to songs and beats,
Dancing with shaytan as your faith gradually gets weak,
Or you can recite from the Qur'an regularly,
And study Islam so your Imaan levels increase.
~•~
You can feel bad inside and keep comparing yourself
To others' lives, wishing you had their homes, looks and wealth,
Or you can thank Allah, dispel bad feelings you've felt
By focusing on your gifts and blessings without guilt.
~•~
You can stress yourself out by desiring perfection,
Complaining whenever you confront disappointments,
Or you can take it easy, rest often, be patient,
As you strive for Allah and accept what He destines.
~•~
Keep in mind that Allah gave you freewill to decide.
Your deliberate choices can impact your lifestyle.
So try your best to make decisions you think are right.
When you fall, rise. Get back up till you reach Paradise.
~•~
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “If one of you looks at those blessed over him in wealth and appearance, let him look at those below him.”
In another narration, the Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “Do not look to those above you, lest you view the favors of Allah as trivial.”

📖 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."
