💌 It's not a crime to fall in love with certain people,
As emotions can't always be put under control.
What's wrong is acting upon feelings that are doubtful,
Not lowering your gaze, staring at attractive souls,
Flirting often until passion becomes physical.

How do crushes happen? Not all are explainable,
But developing a crush with time is possible.
The more you find that special someone relatable,
Or the more you discover how they're desirable,
The more your heart feels vibes that are uncomfortable...
~•~
Unwelcoming for a soul that knows it's unlawful,
To have fantasies in a way that is immoral
With the one whom you consider irresistible.
While it's okay to admire them, keep it minimal,
And don't act upon how you feel, to avoid trouble.
~•~
That Allah is testing you with love it's possible.
Allah wants to test if you can stay chaste and faithful.
With Taqwa and firm Imaan you can pass this trial.
Don't sacrifice Jannah for joys that are temporal.
Frequent thoughts of death defeat desires that are evil.

When you're "in love" with some, think "maybe it's hormonal."
Or it's shaytan enticing you to be more sinful,
To imagine doing what's unimaginable
With multiple crushes who are beyond 'likable'.
When one-sided, this type of "love" can be too hurtful.
~•~
With trust in Allah, strive to have your feelings controlled.
Your list of "secret crushes" don't let anyone know,
Because even close friends may someday have them exposed.
You're one tough fighter as you battle against your soul,
Ensuring your body doesn't do what's not halal.
~•~
To shield yourself from fitna, don't go where your crush goes.
If you have to work with them, don't make your convos long.
Though it's hard to deny your attraction and withhold,
Recall Allah's Love is more important than this world.
Don't let crushes distract you from Jannah your main goal.
