Poem: Careful Of Hypocrites Who Claim To Be "Muslims" But Don't Truly Believe Yet

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

💌 Like before during the time of Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam), 

There are hypocrites these days who aim to cause chaos, 

Who carry out wicked acts to spoil Islam's image, 

Who trigger fitna so the Ummah gets divided, 

Claiming they're "Muslims" but they don't really believe yet.

~•~

From the actions of their likes are: Telling lies a lot, 

Using fake names while their life narratives are made-up, 

Trying to dress like Muslims with the hijab, niqab, 

And abaya, and for men with the Islamic cap, 

Thobe, turban, long beard, accompanied by other props.

~•~

Females from among them could set up YouTube channels 

To post vids and inspire fans to do what's unlawful, 

From being immodest or overly material 

To making polygyny and marriage seem awful, 

Inspiring the naive to later discard the veil.

~•~

Males from among them may call themselves "sheikh" or "mufti", 

Issuing verdicts and inventing rules to mislead, 

Changing "haraam" to "halal" when Allah's Laws are clear, 

Promoting bid'ah in the name of modernity, 

And seeing those who love the Sunnah as "lost" or "weird".

~•~

Regardless of gender, hypocrites often do these: 

They knowingly lie, can't attempt to be trustworthy, 

They make promises to break them deliberately, 

They betray and steal as if Allah can't hear nor see, 

And they rejoice when Muslims deal with difficulties.

~•~

They know little about Islam, don't bother praying, 

And if they do "pray", then only when there's an audience. 

They say Dhikr strictly when there are Muslims hearing, 

They share Islamic posts yet they seldom act on them, 

And when the Muslims fast, behind the scenes they're eating.

~•~

They're like spies or trolls within Muslim communities, 

Aiming to disturb harmony when the chance is seen. 

Much news against Islam may be caused by their deceit. 

Ask Allah that He protects us from hypocrisy 

And He grants us insight to spot hypocrites. Ameen.

Poem: Solitude With Allah Is Better Than Socializing With Toxic People

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

💌 Uh, yeah, you think I'm "lonely" if I don't chill with them?

Please, don't flatter yourself. Enough with your assumptions. 

I'd rather chat with cows, read to monkeys, look at hens 

Than befriend actors, pros at lying and pretending.

~•~

Thanks, but no thanks, I don't need a large number of friends. 

I have Allah the Most Wise and I'm complete with Him. 

I can live without a fan club of fakes who pretend 

To like you yet behind your back they'd be gossiping.

~•~

Quality time with Allah is much more comforting 

Than listening to frenemies' lies, jokes, and nonsense.

Believe me as I say I'm missing out on nothing 

Each time I distance myself from the wrong companions.

~•~

Among signs of toxic souls who aren't deserving 

Of our loyalty are: They're obsessed with fault-finding, 

Teasing you on your flaws, addicted to backbiting, 

And they're boring if from them we can't learn anything.

~•~

Ten minutes of reading or Qur'an recitation 

Is better than three hours of chatting online with them. 

If they guess I'm "lonesome" when I grant them avoidance, 

Then sweet solitude with Allah is gladly welcomed.

~•~
