Poem: Dealing With Letdowns And Disappointments As Muslims

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Tips on how to deal with letdowns and disappointments, 
As Muslims who strive to accept what Allah destines, 
So when someone's acts disappoint you, you stay patient, 
You'd react with, "I had a feeling that would happen. 
I'm not surprised. We can't always trust Allah's servants."
~•~
Consider, when some people tell you they'll do something, 
Such as students who promise they'll send their assignments 
Or customers who agree on certain transactions, 
Recall that they're humans, with feelings, limitations, 
And above all, Allah controls all situations.
~•~
If Allah the Most Wise, All-Knowing and All-Seeing, 
Did not predestine a particular occurrence, 
Then regardless of efforts to ensure it happens, 
Through your friends' assistance and frequent supplications, 
Such event won't take place if it was never destined.
~•~
Let each annoyance train you to excel at patience, 
As you thrive, with Allah's Will, by gaining more wisdom, 
Increased awareness that you can't depend on humans, 
Specially those who were deprived of good upbringing. 
Liars inspire us to thank Allah we're not like them.
~•~
Also note that many delay their prayers often 
And most disregard Allah's Rights and Legislations, 
Yet Allah the Almighty stays True, Firm and Patient. 
Keep serving Allah, despite people's disappointments. 
In Jannah we'll see the rewards of persevering.
~•~
📖 Suhayb RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Amazing is the affair of the believer, as there is good for him in every matter. This is not the case for anyone but for the believer. If he goes through ease (or happy moments), he thanks Allah and it is good for him. If he goes through difficulty, he shows patience and it is good for him."

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: 'If only I had done something else.' Rather say: "Allah has decreed what He wills." Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of shaytan."
