Poem: Five Secrets To Not Feeling "Lonely" At All

πŸ’ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
πŸ’Œ Five tips or secrets to not feeling "lonely" at all 
In instances where many would feel lonesome or bored, 
When their calls or messages are frequently ignored, 
When traveling solo, when shopping alone at malls, 
Or you've got news, but there's no trusted human to call: 
~•~
One: Know for certain that Allah is always watching, 
Hearing all your statements, those uttered and unspoken. 
Wherever you go, Allah is Above listening. 
Only Allah knows all solutions to your problems. 
Embrace Allah's Love and look forward to meeting Him.
~•~
Two: Believe that there are Angels nearby recording, 
Obedient slaves of Allah closely monitoring 
Your words, your decisions and deliberate actions. 
Three: Think of the dangers of befriending the wrong friends. 
Solitude is safer than groups that bring corruption.
~•~
Four: Affirm the more you're alert and intelligent,
The more you'd shun those prone to lying and gossiping. 
Peace is in loving Allah much more than His servants. 
Five: Ultimately, your good deeds are your companions 
In your grave. When you're buried, most loved ones would move on.
~•~
Another tip is to focus on reaching your goals. 
Stay busy striving for Allah, on meaningful works, 
Read Qur'an, learn Islam, say Du'a, share what you know, 
And disregard foes whose dark hearts clash with your pure soul. 
Living for Allah Who can't die is what keeps us whole.
~•~
