💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Note to orphans, those who can't find someone they can trust,
And the withdrawn who are selective with whom to love:
If in your place there's no one who's trustworthy enough,
Be content knowing that Allah is always with us.
Solitude becomes sweeter with Dhikr and Du'as.
~•~
If sometimes you wake up from a dream and realize
There's nobody nearby who can help you analyze
What you dreamt of, as most people are preoccupied
With the lousy tendency to gossip and tell lies,
Smile. We have Allah whom we can talk to day and night.
~•~
Some strangers made fun of you, and you feel like ranting?
Don't bother complaining to those who love gossiping,
Who may twist your words and spread the misinformation.
Attain relief through frequent Qur'an recitation,
Confide in Allah, and increase your supplications.
~•~
Don't depend on aunts and cousins to solve your problems,
Specially if they can't improve their own well-being.
No need for guidance counselors, mentors and close friends
To listen to you when they've got their own afflictions.
We have Allah, be content with trusting Only Him.
~•~
Yes, while some souls may see themselves as your trusted friend,
Know that certain friendships gradually come to an end.
Dreams, wishes, concerns and secrets you've told some of them
May be used against you to spoil your decent standing.
Be content relying on Allah, not His servants.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “Allah the Almighty says: 'I am as My servant expects Me to be and I am with him as he remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I will remember him in Myself. If he mentions Me in a gathering, I will mention him in a greater gathering. When he draws near Me by the span of his hand, I draw near him by the length of a cubit. When he draws near Me by the length of a cubit, I draw near him by the length of a fathom. When he comes to Me walking, I come to him running.'"

📖 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."
