Poem: Advice To Those Who Went Through Verbal Abuse And Cyberbullying

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

💌 Words to comfort those who went through cyberbullying, 

Who noticed fake accounts meant to impersonate them, 

Or who witnessed toxic speech and offensive comments 

Posted by users whom they thought were genuine friends:

~•~

Declare 'HasbunAllah wa Ne'm Al-Wakeel' often.

Insults from haters more often than not describe them.

Their obnoxious rudeness is an indirect statement 

They're cowards who envy your good traits and achievements.

~•~

They can fabricate lies about you with resentment, 

Sign up for fake accounts as if it enriches them, 

And portray you with abominable descriptions, 

And still to Allah you're one of His most loved servants.

~•~

Remember Aisha bint Abu Bakr (RadhiAllahu 'anha) years back then? 

She too was gossiped about by some wretched humans,

And her feelings were hurt from the false accusations, 

Yet Allah the Most Just later proved her innocence.

~•~

Let the insecure highlight their self-hate, ignorance, 

And ethics' poor condition. Be glad you're not like them.

It sucks to be in their shoes, the villains envying 

Others' lives because theirs are full of grief and nonsense.

~•~

No confident person would consider bullying 

Nor attempting to trigger victims behind a screen. 

When you spot bullies on cyberspace, know their actions 

Imply they're jealous, or they had awful upbringing.

~•~

Don't brood over their injustice and childish dealings.

Trust Allah, move on, and pray their acts return to them 

If not sooner on earth then on the Day of Judgment,

When no soul can flee from the outcomes of their doings.

📖 Mu’adh Ibn Jabal RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: The Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam sent me to Yemen and he said, "Verily, you are going to people among the people of the Book, so call them to testify there is no God but Allah and I am the Messenger of Allah. If they accept that, then teach them that Allah has obligated five prayers in each day and night. If they accept that, then teach them that Allah has obligated charity to be taken from the rich and given to the poor. If they accept that, then beware not to take from the best of their wealth. Fear the supplication of the oppressed, for there is no barrier between it and Allah."

Poem: Richness In Faith/Imaan And Manners Are More Valuable Than Worldly Riches

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

💌 If you're among the wealthy, say Alhamdulillah,

Make sure your riches don't lead you away from Allah.

If you're with those who struggle, strive and say your Du'as.

Know the poor Muslims are the first to enter Jannah.

~•~

Don't feel ashamed if there are items you can't afford.

It's not a blessing to be deluded by this world,

Taking pride in how much wealth one's bank account can hold,

Looking down on the righteous and good deeds they uphold.

~•~

I'd rather seek the treasures of Islamic knowledge

Than chase after the dollars which the rich keep hoarded.

I admire those brave enough to wear clothes repeated

Than those who keep increasing the size of their closet.

~•~

Let the rich flaunt the fancy restaurants they went to,

Instead of envying, we increase in gratitude -

Grateful to Allah that we can taste different food,

Aware of refugees worldwide and what they go through.

~•~

Too much money in many cases may cause damage,

If surplus income keeps one away from what's Wajib,

Being distracted by being materialistic,

Preferring joyful travel to Islamic classes.

~•~

It's okay if we don't know the names of well-known brands,

From Gucci to Prada, Chanel, Armani and Vans.

What matters is Islam we study and understand,

Maintain good character so Jannah is where we land.

~•~

Simplicity which teaches patience and contentment

Is better than extravagant life with misguidance.

Regardless of savings, use only halal income,

And with them do good deeds to deserve Jannah's entrance.

Whoever is concerned about the world, Allah will place poverty between his eyes, disorder his affairs, and he will get nothing of the world but what is decreed for him."

📖 Abu Dharr RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "O Abu Dharr, do you say an abundance of possessions is wealth?" I said 'yes.'

The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam repeated this three times, then he said, "Wealth is in the heart and poverty is in the heart. Whoever is wealthy in his heart will not be harmed no matter what happens in the world. Whoever is impoverished in his heart will not be satisfied no matter how much he has in the world. Verily, he will only be harmed by the greed of his own soul."
