Poem: To Each Muslimah Who's Currently Single

πŸ’ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
πŸ’Œ Dear Muslimah, currently single, trying her best 
To pass, with patience, all of Allah's challenging tests, 
In striving to obey Allah through staying modest, 
Honoring her parents with care, Du'as, and respect, 
And ensuring that Allah's Laws she never neglects:
~•~
With Allah's Love and Guidance, you're doing well. Don't quit. 
Preserve chastity. Avoid zina without regret. 
See, that's how strong you are, whenever you feel tempted 
To stray from Allah and try what He prohibited, 
With Taqwa, you restrain and have your nafs defeated.
~•~
For controlling your desires and gaze with fierce courage 
And avoiding what's haraam though your heart may want it, 
With Allah's Will, in both worlds you'll be much rewarded. 
You show you're brave when you leave what keeps you distracted, 
Fleeing to Allah to keep your faith/Imaan shielded.
~•~
Like a warrior in combat, with Taqwa you're equipped, 
Guided by Allah, you can fight what shaytan suggests. 
Despite many being in haraam relationships, 
You're tough enough to patiently wait for your marriage, 
Aware your journey to Jannah isn't over yet.
~•~
So persevere dear striving Muslimah. Every test 
From Allah is given as He knows you can pass it. 
By surrounding fitna and whims of the misguided 
From your goal to reach Jannah don't be deviated. 
Strive for Allah. Know sincere efforts are not wasted.
~•~
When that special event arrives, when you get married 
To the man whom Allah the Most Loving selected 
As your soulmate, and you are each other's destined gifts, 
You'll realize what it feels like to be romantic, 
Protective and loyal to your spouse whom you cherish.
~•~
Meanwhile, remain patient, knowing Allah always gives 
Not necessarily what you like but what your soul needs. 
Continue praying to Allah that He grants what's best  
And He guides you throughout life so you can pass His tests. 
Hearts that serve just Allah are free from aches and distress.
~•~
πŸ“– Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "O young men, if you are able to support a wife, get married. Verily, it lowers the gaze and guards chastity. Whoever is not able to do so, he must fast as it (fasting regularly for Allah's sake) will discipline his desires."

πŸ“– Aisha RadhiAllahu 'anha narrated: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, should women be asked for their consent (permission) before marriage?” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Yes." I said, “Indeed, sometimes a virgin is too shy to speak when asked.” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Her silence (not refusing nor complaining) is her consent (sign that she accepts the marriage proposal)."
