Poem: On The Topic Of Sexual Orientation And Labelling One's Sexuality

πŸ’ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 
πŸ’Œ As a Muslim who strives to serve Allah the Most Wise, 
I don't label myself "lez", "pansexual", or "bi". 
While I don't buy labels, I know and I can't deny 
The fact that life's a test and shaytan with all his might 
Will do his best to divert humans from Paradise. 
~•~ 
While I don't call myself "lez", "pansexual", or "bi", 
I know that shaytan can play with hearts and he can try 
To entice a striving Muslimah to theorize 
That she has fallen in "love" with someone's loyal wife, 
When shaytan loves it when people spoil each other's lives. 
~•~
While I'm not officially "lez", "pansexual", or "bi", 
I understand that our foe shaytan may oftentimes 
Push us to ask ourselves, "these feelings are real, but why?"
When fixation with similar souls can't be denied.
Needless talks are then shunned, so fitna is minimized.
~•~ 
Just because I'm not "lesbian", "pansexual", or "bi" 
Doesn't mean it's perfectly fine, as much as I like, 
To stare at other females, with or without desire. 
I shall control my gaze, and look only when required, 
Since shaytan has his ways to make unwanted sparks fly. 
~•~ 
Zina ain't limited to lust between girls and guys, 
But it can also occur when some ladies admire 
Each other too much as though their hearts were magnetized. 
Shield yourself with Taqwa. Talk to Allah day and night. 
Love Allah more than anyone, to win every fight. 
~•~
