Poem: Only Allah Knows The Niyyah / Intentions Of His Servants

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 "She brings food to meetings to prove she's so generous, 
Either that, or to flaunt she can cook better than us.", 
"She published her own books desperate to be famous.", 
"They conduct Islamic classes mainly for the cash.", 
"More reminders? Attention hog, would you look at that."

"He only gave us a ride to show off his new car.", 
"They lecture just to be some sort of religious stars.", 
"By sharing posts in Arabic they obviously are 
Flaunting their linguistic skills, that they're more superior.", 
"They desire people's approval. I doubt they're sincere."
~•~
No matter how pure your heart is or how you ensure 
That your deeds are for Allah, with niyyah not impure, 
There'll be critics and haters out there who are unsure 
Of your intention, and they act like they know for sure, 
When matters dealing with the heart are issues obscure.
~•~
People must remind themselves that Only Allah knows 
The actual state, feelings and intentions of all souls. 
Just as they can't judge books with one glimpse of their covers, 
They've no right to describe you using unfitting words, 
Specially if you've never hung out with them before.
~•~
Let those who falsely accuse you receive your past sins, 
Disturbing themselves with lies and jealous resentment. 
While you can't stop them from accusing and assuming, 
You can seek Allah's Help, trust He'll justly deal with them.
Await rewards for your patience with their suspicions.

📖 Ibn Mas’ud RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: The Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam was distributing charity when a man from the Ansaar said, “By Allah, Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) did not intend to please Allah with this!” I came to the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam and told him about it, then anger could be seen on his face. The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Moses (Prophet Musa 'alaihis salaam) was hurt by more than this, yet he remained patient."
In another narration, the Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Who will be just if not Allah and His Messenger?"

📖 Usamah Ibn Zayd RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: The Messenger of Allah, SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam sent us on an expedition. In the morning we attacked Al-Huraqat of Juhaynah. I caught hold of a man and he said, “There is no god but Allah!” but I stabbed him. Then it occurred to me that I should mention that to the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam. The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Did he say ‘there is no god but Allah’ and you killed him?" I said, “O Messenger of Allah, he only said it fearing the weapon.” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Did you tear open his heart to know if he meant it or not?" The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam continued to repeat this to me until I had wished I had not embraced Islam until that day.
