Poem: Tips On How Not To Regret Letting Certain "Friends" Slip Away

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

💌 Advice on how to deal with the feeling of regret 

From being kind to those who devalue your kindness, 

From confiding in those whom you thought could be trusted, 

From sharing secrets with "friends" who spread them for gossip, 

And from trying to reach out just to get rejected:

~•~

Rely on Allah, and with His Love stay contented. 

So long as Allah loves you, His slaves aren't needed, 

Specially if those who left happen to be toxic - 

Your good traits they ignore, of your blessings they're jealous, 

Convos with them lack purpose, and they're unsupportive.

~•~

No need for bystanders' support to feel accomplished. 

No begging for people's kudos to feel completed.

Let critics cringe and roll eyes to show they're envious, 

While you keep moving forward to Allah and success.

Don't you dare connect with those whose care brings no merit.

~•~

You're not prideful. You truly tried your best to invest 

In saving the friendship, but they chose to disconnect. 

Their gossipy online posts made you lose interest, 

Their love for playing hard to get inspired you to dread 

Seeing them, and detest how their ways are too childish.

~•~

To avoid regretting meeting anyone you've met: 

Believe Allah controls all things, His Decree accept, 

Respect and trust must be mutual to protect friendships, 

Know Allah willed it, and life won't improve by regret.

~•~

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: 'If only I had done something else.’ Rather say: "Allah has decreed what He wills.” Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of shaytan."

Poem: Three Signs Of People Who Are Unhappy With Themselves

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

💌 Three signs of sad people even if they draw fake smiles, 

Smirk at their ignorance and enjoy lavish lifestyles, 

Upload trending videos, gain cash through fans who subscribe, 

And who act as though Allah can't hear their silly lies:

~•~

One: They constantly compare their life to others' lives, 

Behaving like insecure spies who pry day and night, 

Watching vlogs and stalking timelines of those they despise, 

Gaining nothing besides jealous feelings from inside.

~•~

Happy souls with Allah's Destiny are satisfied. 

To spy on how others live, counting faults they can find, 

And to magnify strangers' mistakes they have no time. 

They focus on pleasing Allah, at peace all the while.

~•~

Two: Sad people guilty of envy and inner strife 

Strive to spread their sorrow to others when they backbite, 

Gossip, invent rumors, behave rudely, criticize 

And emphasize they're toxic souls who can't stand good vibes.

~•~

Genuinely happy souls try their best to be kind, 

Provide help when they can, answer greetings with a smile, 

Defend the weak, stick up for those who forgot their rights, 

And gladly mind their business when doing so is wise. 

~•~

Three: They don't serve Allah due to their sadness and pride. 

Instead of praying, on drugs and music they rely. 

Distance from Allah and submitting to vile desires 

Are from the whys they feel bad and empty from inside.

~•~

Despite not being rich, famous or by many liked, 

Happy souls whom Allah loves and guided to His Light 

Are full of delight talking to Allah day and night, 

Patiently awaiting actual joy in Paradise.

~•~

Alhamdulillah always.

📖 Suhayb RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Amazing is the affair of the believer, as there is good for him in every matter. This is not the case for anyone but for the believer. If he goes through ease (or happy moments), he thanks Allah and it is good for him. If he goes through difficulty, he shows patience and it is good for him."

Did you get any blessing?' He will say: 'No, by Allah, my Lord!' Then the most miserable people in the world among the people of Paradise will come on the Day of Resurrection to be dipped in Paradise, then it will be said: 'O son of Adam, did you see any hardship? Did you have any distress?' He will say: 'No, by Allah, my Lord! I did not once see hardship or distress.'"

Poem: Tips To Detach And Move On From An Unattainable "Crush"

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

💌 Tips for those "in love with" someone unattainable, 

Whether their crush is male, female, married or single: 

You can recall all their traits that are deplorable, 

Disturbing, disgusting, dreary, disagreeable, 

Till you forget them and they're no longer likable.

~•~

But if you're still "in love" despite their unpleasant side, 

And thoughts or dreams of tasting them come once in a while, 

Remind yourself, you love Allah more, want Paradise, 

And you're tough enough to ignore shaytan's vapid lies, 

Aware that regret always follows evil desires.

~•~

Visualize your "crush" being an eye-catching item 

Displayed on a shelf that would require lots of climbing.

Soft attempts to reach it induce frequent stumbling 

Until you touch it, have it opened, and find nothing. 

They'd be yours if the union was by Allah destined.

~•~

Such connection wasn't decreed. They're unreachable. 

If they're unlawful for you and not marriageable, 

Then leaving them to please Allah is manageable.

Even if daily convos with them are doable, 

Ditching zina for Allah becomes endurable.

~•~

Testify your attraction for them can't be denied. 

Yes, while you like them a lot, you fully recognize 

That feelings are sometimes tests from Allah the Most Wise. 

Don't act on emotions if they lead to what's not right. 

Your faith in Allah and your morals don't sacrifice.

~•~
