Poem: When You Feel Like Complaining, Cry To Allah, Not His Servants

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 

💌 Isn't it ironic when we feel like complaining 

To trusted loved ones or friends, seeking their opinions, 

Suggestions or solutions to some of our problems, 

We'd greet disappointment when nobody would listen, 

Yet when some whine to us we're not always listening? 

~•~ 

From the reasons why we can't give people attention 

Twenty-four-seven and we can't at all times welcome 

Complaints to guide the confused and heal the heartbroken: 

We're humans just like them, with our own set of problems, 

While sometimes we're prone to misjudgment and exhaustion. 

~•~ 

Even the strongest, the bravest and most confident 

Of warriors have their ups and downs, go through tough moments, 

And challenges that were sent by Allah to strengthen 

Our faith/Imaan, enlightenment, contentment, patience, 

And insight from Allah to trust no one except Him.

~•~

If on earth there's no confidant or close companion, 

Consider it as a blessing, and a protection 

From egocentric convos, misleading discussions, 

Invitations to indulge in lousy gossiping, 

Urges to lie, or confiding in the wrong persons. 

~•~ 

You need someone to hear you out? Seek Allah's Guidance. 

No one cares? That's not true. Allah sees us and listens 

To each word we utter, whisper, and hide from within. 

Allah always hears us. When you feel like complaining, 

Seek Allah's Help and know your secrets stay safe with Him.

~•~

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Those in solitude have raced ahead." They said, “O Messenger of Allah, who are those in solitude ('al-mufarridoon')?” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "They are men and women who remember Allah a lot."

📖 Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Some people from the Ansaar asked the Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam and he gave them. Then they asked for charity again and he SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam gave them. Then they asked again and he SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam gave them until all he had was gone. The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "If I had anything, I would not withhold it. Whoever refrains from asking others, then Allah will make him content. Whoever would be independent, then Allah will make him independent. Whoever would be patient, then Allah will make him patient. There is no gift that is better and more comprehensive than patience."
