💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 A sample letter from a soul 'in love' to the one admired,
To soothe heartbroken souls, and so some lessons can be derived:
"Dear 'crush', the secret recipient of my heart's wrongful desires,
I would like to wholeheartedly explain and apologize
Why I exhibit rudeness when I can't look you in the eye.
~•~
Whether you've been told this before or not yet, I wish to say
That I find you appealing and special in all sorts of ways.
You give me the feelings of being delighted and amazed,
Nervous in your presence, down and nostalgic when you're away.
Although you look incredible, I choose to lower my gaze.
~•~
Thoughts of being your lover are among the battles I fight,
Wondering what you taste like, while resisting at the same time,
Has led me feeling ashamed of sensations I try to hide.
On some days I strive to fast, then resort to crying at night,
Begging Allah to forgive the emotions I keep inside.
~•~
I never chose to have these feelings nor like you in that way.
If I could do anything, I'd want to go numb any day,
Devoid of being magnetized by your captivating face,
Or return to the past like a time machine and click replay,
To avoid future heartbreaks, how we first met would be erased.
~•~
But I got no superpowers apart from faith and insight,
Guidance from Allah the Most Wise Who shows me what's wrong and right.
Since zina is a major sin, I want it out of my sight.
Thus I control my glances to remain chaste, with Allah's Light,
Praying that Allah protects you and me from evils and crimes.
~•~
I'm sorry I left your text on 'seen' mode and you had to wait.
I had to end our sinful chats and quit playing shaytan's games.
Every message you sent me and each moment I read your name
Made my body shake with arousal but with abundant shame,
So I've decided to walk away from you for Allah's sake.
~•~
Please don't assume I hate you; you're a sweetheart I really like.
Nonetheless my love for Allah outweighs this dunya's desires.
Though we're not close anymore, you're in my Du'as day and night.
Let's distance ourselves from each other till we reach Paradise,
Where we can meet Allah and receive whatever we desire."
~•~
📖 Abu Qatadah RadhiAllahu anhu narrated that Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, you will never leave anything for the sake of Allah the Almighty but that Allah will replace it with something better."
