Poem: Fasting Isn't Just Refraining From Eating And Drinking But Also From Wicked Acts And Talks As Much As Possible

πŸ’ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 
πŸ’Œ To those still glued to grudge and plotting verbal revenge, 
Who haven't changed a bit apart from their resentment 
Growing gradually despite Ramadan's commencement: 
What do you gain from attaining other Muslims' sins 
When you stalk their posts and react with shameful rantings?
~•~
Fasting for Allah is supposed to improve you, but 
It seems you haven't learned yet why we Muslims should fast. 
Fasting isn't just leaving drinks and edible stuff 
From dawn to dusk but also from wicked talks and acts, 
To obey Allah's Commands and achieve Allah's Love. 
~•~
Debating, inventing foul jokes to make readers laugh, 
Posting surly status updates as implied comebacks 
To bandage one's big ego that's been wounded a lot, 
And stalking the timelines of users whom you begrudge 
To count their faults just harms you. Please, morally grow up. 
~•~
For Allah's sake, if someone's good vibes get on your nerves, 
If a Muslim's frequent updates and presence disturb, 
Or to insult those whom you hate you have constant urge, 
Simply don't check their profiles. Don't scrutinize their words. 
Decline their calls to fight. Let them argue with themselves. 
~•~
Visualize them as mosquitoes trying to bother. 
Either you walk away or smack them with your Sabr, 
Slap them with your indifference, aware it's better 
To ditch childish quarrels than nurture bitter haters. 
Your foes can greet Allah's Justice sooner or later.
~•~

If anyone insults him or fights with him, he should say: 'Indeed, I am fasting. I am fasting.'"
