Poem: Advice To Those Who Are Struggling

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 To a sister in Islam whom I haven't met yet,
Who complained about issues that make her so upset,
Here's a note, with love for Allah's sake, so you can rest,
To comfort you, letting you know we're all in this test:
~*~
Never kill yourself. Suicide is to be avoided.
Allah made you with a purpose, so you can worship
And bow down to Allah Who gave us life with its tests.
As Allah's slaves, don't question what Allah does or did.
~*~
With patience and firm Imaan, to Allah please submit.
Patiently accept what Allah chose and selected.
So your soul won't get lost, join those who search for knowledge,
Study more about Islam to better be equipped.
~*~
With loved ones and relatives try to stay connected.
Be patient with their wrongs, no matter how hard it is.
shaytan's the culprit who wants people to get jealous,
Defeat him and don't let him get you all divided.
~*~
As long as you advised your aunts, and you did your best,
Don't permit their wrongful acts to bring grief and distress.
You're not responsible for sins they have committed.
Focus on your journey. Maintain Sabr with courage.
~*~
Continue treating your parents with love and respect.
Never cut off ties with relatives, as I have said.
Learn Islam. Do Da'wah. Avoid what's prohibited.
Be steadfast, more so when things become complicated.
~*~
When Allah loves you, expect trials while needs are met.
Allah knows who deserves you and who to be guided,
So don't guess you're unloved when you encounter hardships.
Rise after every fall till you reach Jannah. Don't quit.
~*~
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Whoever relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, Allah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever helps ease one in difficulty, Allah will make it easy for him in this world and in the Hereafter. Whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and in the Hereafter. Allah helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Whoever travels a path in search of knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise. People do not gather in the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying It together, but that tranquility will descend upon them, mercy will cover them, angels will surround them, and Allah will mention them to those near Him. Whoever is slow to good deeds will not be hastened by his lineage."
