💌 It's impossible to pray all prayers perfectly,
To pray on time without faults and inaccuracies,
To wake up each night for Tahajjud while most would sleep,
Because Allah knows we're human, we get tired and weak,
Often we're delayed by stress or some emergencies.
~•~
It's impossible to ensure we fast frequently
Sunnah fasts on Mondays and Thursdays, in every week,
As there are times when some Muslimahs have their monthly
Period, while many can't control if they'd oversleep,
And others lack stamina or don't have much to eat.
~•~
It's impossible to guarantee we always speak
Factual words and we never offend anybody,
Because Allah sees we're humans who've got tendencies
To make mistakes, misjudge, misinterpret, be clumsy,
And feelings sometimes lead to acting unreasonably.
~•~
It's impossible to promise complete purity
Of one's heart, ensuring it's devoid of jealousy,
That it's free of all traces of insecurity,
And it's immune to clinging to what's temporary,
Since we're humans who fall and err occasionally.
~•~
Full perfection is impossible to be achieved
So long as we're on earth and we are human beings.
What matters is we strive for Allah, firmly believe
That Allah can forgive and loves those who persevere
In taking steps to pass Allah's tests consistently.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Allah the Almighty says: 'I am as My servant expects Me and I am with him as he remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I will remember him in Myself. If he mentions Me in a gathering, I will mention him in a greater gathering. When he draws near Me by the span of his hand, I draw near him by the length of a cubit. When he draws near Me by the length of a cubit, I draw near him by the length of a fathom. When he comes to Me walking, I come to him running.'"

📖 Aisha RadhiAllahu 'anha narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Follow the right course, seek nearness to Allah, and give glad tidings. Verily, none of you will enter Paradise by his deeds alone." They said, “Not even you, O Messenger of Allah?” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Not even me, unless Allah grants me His Mercy. Know that the most beloved deed to Allah is that which is done regularly (consistently with sincerity/Ikhlaas) even if it is few."
