Poem: How To Move On From Broken Friendships

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

💌 Don't cling to people; you're not a monkey, they're not trees.

Some "friendships" ending are part of what Allah decrees.

They teach us not to trust humans, they're temporary, 

And we're trained to have more patience when they disappear.

~•~

Why weep over ex-friends? Life doesn't depend on them.

They don't pay rent, they don't breastfeed nor grant nourishment, 

And from what they did best were abusing your feelings, 

Gossiping, lying, and envying your achievements.

~•~

When you're no longer in touch, it's fine to shed some tears, 

But don't hate yourself for journeys that Allah decreed.

Note: You're no monkey nor koala, and they're not trees.

Some souls are like dark clouds; life gets brighter once they leave.

~•~

Wave goodbye to their late replies, mean indifference, 

Adios and annyeong to their unpleasant influence, 

Imagined tarpaulin with the word "Farewell" written 

To walk away from nonsense with determination.

~•~

Listen, you're not arrogant by choosing to detach 

From those who disturb you, distance you from Allah's Love, 

And who can't like you back. Forgive them. Move on. Stay tough. 

For years we survived without them. Allah is Enough.

~•~

📖 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."

Poem: Tips To Deal With Unlawful "Love" And Crushes

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 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.
~•~
