💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 To fellow Muslims with loved ones whom they care about,
To those who've got friends who do things that are disallowed,
Who try to advise others in writing and aloud:
We can't force people to reform, if they turn around,
If they choose to go astray, or of their faults they're proud.
~•~
Allah the Almighty is the One With full control.
Allah is the One Who guides whom He Wills from the souls.
Our duty is to invite others to Allah's Call.
The noble task of Da'wah is to share and inform,
Remind, warn and educate, not to chain nor enforce.
~•~
Those friends who don't wear hijab, male relatives who smoke,
Nieces who model and post selfies with shameless clothes,
Nephews with girlfriends who upload indecent videos,
Acquaintances who scam and grab items they don't own,
And others who sin - to fix themselves they can't be forced.
~•~
Those persons who pray only when they feel like praying,
Who while others pray Tahajjud they're out nightclubbing,
Those who believe there's no problem with celebrating
The so-called 'mawlid' or friends' birthday celebrations,
And others who don't know - you can't stop their ignorance.
~•~
No matter how loud you shout to save some from falling
Into a pit of lava, they won't pay attention
If they're deaf, blindfolded, and don't know where they're going,
And if Allah doesn't want to grant them His Guidance,
Or if they're immersed in shaytan's traps and temptations.
~•~
You can't convince someone if they're stuck in misguidance,
Can't enlighten nor teach if they're jealously threatened,
And if they see no issue in how they're behaving.
All you can do is give advice, be understanding,
Or offer tips if they're humble enough to listen.
~•~
Also pray for them. Don't quit, if you truly love them.
Set a good example as well, and be consistent.
Avoid acting in ways that may arouse confusion.
Once you've enjoined right and forbade wrong, as a Muslim,
Continue serving Allah Who knows when to guide them.
