Poem: Maintain Noble Manners Even With Strangers And Former Friends

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

💌 To check if you have actual good character or not, 

Watch how you react when you walk by those who detached 

From your circle and with whom you're no longer in touch.

Will you retain noble manners despite holding grudge?

~•~

If you see those with whom you're no longer in contact, 

Who unfriended you online or whom you cannot trust, 

At a mall, gathering, public place, or in a bus, 

Will you greet them or perform a disappearing act?

~•~

Secrets and intimate details they shared in the past, 

Will you spread them around so your ex-friends are laughed at?

Their weaknesses and problems, will you have them discussed 

Behind their backs with the close friends you currently have?

~•~

Or can you be strong enough to let your ego drop, 

And say salaam to ex-friends though your connections stopped? 

When they sneeze, will you respond as pious Muslims must, 

Or will you ignore them and be morally bankrupt?

~•~

While it's your right to select who to befriend and love, 

Treating people fairly is something you mustn't stop.

Answer greetings, help when you can, have friendly smiles swapped, 

So your good Akhlaaq joins you with those whom Allah loves.

~•~

Poem: Advice To Those Addicted To TikTok And Trending Videos

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

💌 TikTok... As time nowadays ticks away so quickly, 

Many youngsters misuse their faculties and beauty, 

Uploading videos of themselves behaving oddly, 

Feeling as though the world revolves around them only.

~•~

Most of the video clips they upload indirectly 

Train them to love and worship themselves addictively, 

To inflate pride when they feel impeccably pretty, 

And with increased selfies live their lives more selfishly.

~•~

It's fine if they share reminders occasionally, 

Inspirational words and advice generously, 

To uplift and support each other in piety, 

But no, lots of TikTokers promote their looks mainly.

~•~

Most, if not all, TikTok addicts are quite unhappy, 

Filled with self-hatred, self-doubt, susceptible largely 

To competitions that commend intense jealousy, 

Inducing trivial goals and decreasing self-esteem.

~•~

If they were at peace and happy from inside really, 

They'd give some of their happiness with others kindly, 

Reminding Muslims to learn Islam responsibly 

And to serve Allah instead of lost societies.

~•~

If they had confidence and inner strength actually, 

They'd use life lessons to help Muslim communities, 

Defend the weak, inspire those struggling inwardly, 

And invite others to Allah with uplifting speech.

~•~

TikTok... As time nowadays ticks away so quickly, 

If you're a TikTok addict, can you bravely delete 

All your video clips with music so Allah is Pleased 

That you renounced what your nafs wants for Allah Only.

~•~

📖 Abu Udhaynah RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The best of your women are loving, fertile, suitable, and comforting, if they fear Allah. The worst of your women unveil their beauty, take pride in their appearance, and they are hypocrites. None of them will enter Paradise except as rarely as you see a red-beaked crow."
