💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Tips for those "in love with" someone unattainable,
Whether their crush is male, female, married or single:
You can recall all their traits that are deplorable,
Disturbing, disgusting, dreary, disagreeable,
Till you forget them and they're no longer likable.
~•~
But if you're still "in love" despite their unpleasant side,
And thoughts or dreams of tasting them come once in a while,
Remind yourself, you love Allah more, want Paradise,
And you're tough enough to ignore shaytan's vapid lies,
Aware that regret always follows evil desires.
~•~
Visualize your "crush" being an eye-catching item
Displayed on a shelf that would require lots of climbing.
Soft attempts to reach it induce frequent stumbling
Until you touch it, have it opened, and find nothing.
They'd be yours if the union was by Allah destined.
~•~
Such connection wasn't decreed. They're unreachable.
If they're unlawful for you and not marriageable,
Then leaving them to please Allah is manageable.
Even if daily convos with them are doable,
Ditching zina for Allah becomes endurable.
~•~
Testify your attraction for them can't be denied.
Yes, while you like them a lot, you fully recognize
That feelings are sometimes tests from Allah the Most Wise.
Don't act on emotions if they lead to what's not right.
Your faith in Allah and your morals don't sacrifice.
