💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 For Allah's sake, with Adhkaar and Taqwa shield your heart,
That piece of flesh in your body where shaytan imparts
His vile suggestions whereby logic often departs.
Know how to control your feelings before fitna starts,
And to defeat shaytan's plots, understand how he works.

When crushing on non-mahrams, don't let lust run its course.
Lustful thoughts can lead to zina, which begets remorse.
Tame your nafs. Don't stare at crushes to keep feels controlled.
Shun needless socializing, your faith/Imaan uphold,
And fast more Sunnah fasts to enhance your self-control.
~•~
When angry, seek refuge in Allah from the accursed
shaytan who loves it when you're provoked so stress gets worse.
Anger, if left uncontrolled, can bring about the urge
To commit murder, injustice, or spread foul rumors.
Do wudhu when mad, take naps, pray, or drink water cold.
~•~
When saddened by bad news or each time trials unfold,
Recall Allah controls, joy doesn't last in this world,
And we're pushed to say Du'a when sorrow is absorbed.
Strong connection with Allah can have dilemmas solved.
So don't appease shaytan when he pleads, "Please, kill yourself."
~•~
Weird emotions felt don't need to be put into words,
Just as not every feeling must be acted upon.
What sort of feelings should we strive to hide or withhold:
Ones that distract us from our goals, or which promote wrongs,
And not acting on them protects the soul in both worlds.
