Poem: Allah The Almighty Controls All Things Including Destiny, So Don't Regret Nor Cry "If Only"

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

💌 If only those folks didn't post those status updates 

That seemed passive-aggressive, filled with envy and hate, 

I wouldn't have unfriended them, and they would've stayed 

As potential friends, but Allah willed they'd go away.

~•~

If only they answered my messages earlier, 

Proved they were reliable, good advice they offered, 

And talked more often, our friendship would've been longer, 

But Allah detached us. We're back to being strangers.

~•~

If only I was more open to my ex-best friend 

And canceled all the actions that led to arguments, 

We'd still be talking by now and analyzing dreams, 

But Allah willed she'd leave while I'd confide in just Him.

~•~

If only I didn't rush, and took more time thinking 

About that task's likely outcomes before reacting, 

And if I researched carefully before deciding, 

The fees wouldn't have been wasted, but I learned something.

~•~

If only I was present at that fam reunion 

And shared my thoughts in a manner that's more appealing, 

Many of them and I'd still be communicating, 

But I tried, and Allah knows there's a better timing.

~•~

If only this and that behaved much more decently, 

Never made taboo gestures and lousy emojis, 

I'd be willing to befriend them, and we'd chat daily, 

But Allah kept them distant, as they're not good for me.

~•~

When regret and thoughts that start with "If only..." pass by, 

I recall we're just servants of Allah the Most Wise 

Who controls all things in, above and beneath the skies.

What take place on earth are what Allah decrees and likes.

~•~

We can't always grasp why certain incidents occur, 

As we're humans who often forget, misjudge and err. 

As Muslims we trust Allah, with Sabr and Shukr,

Believing in the truth that Allah controls Qadr.

~•~

Feeling remorseful in dunya isn't as intense 

As everlasting regret of Allah's opponents 

Who in the afterlife would wish to have worshipped Him.

In our trust and belief in Allah let's be constant.

~•~

📖 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."

📖 Sa’d Ibn Abi Waqqas RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, which of the people are most severely tested?” The Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "They are the prophets, then the next best (in terms of righteousness), then the next best. A man is put to trial according to his Deen/religion. If he is firm in his religion, his trials will be more severe. If he is weak in his religion, he is put to trial according to his strength in religion. The servant will continue to be put to trial until he is left walking upon the earth without any sin."

📖 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: Five Signs That Your Husband Is Clearly Your Soulmate And One Of Allah's Blessings To You

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

💌 Five signs your man's your soulmate, and Allah knows better, 

Signs that you married your soulmate and he's the answer 

To your prayers back when you were single and younger, 

That your husband's Allah's gift and part of your Qadr:

~•~

One: You love him for Allah, not for worldly matters, 

And loving him for Allah helps you become wiser 

As a Muslimah who thrives with Sabr and Shukr. 

To you this bond is sublime, more solid than paper.

~•~

Two: Despite distance due to work, love still grows stronger, 

And in spite of some disputes, you forgive each other. 

Distractions and obstacles just make your love deeper,

Not just your man's lover but for his love a fighter.

~•~

Three: Although at times you feel attracted to others, 

You stay as your husband's loyal wife, friend and partner. 

Seeing other couples can't make you feel inferior; 

They inspire you to love your soulmate even harder.

~•~

Four: You're used to each other's scent and body odor. 

He can't disgust you and his farts sound even sweeter 

And funner than drumrolls, thunder and sparrows' twitters. 

Even more pleasant than his snores is his cute laughter.

~•~

Five: You're with him till his soul moves to the Hereafter. 

You can never imagine marrying another 

For as long as he's your other half, you're together, 

And you'll keep loving him in all seasons and weather.

~•~

Firmly you believe that your spouse is Allah's answer 

To your prayers back when you were single and younger. 

You know your man's your soulmate and part of your Qadr 

When staying married to him helps you become better.

~•~

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "If a woman prays her five prayers, fasts her month of Ramadan, guards her chastity, and obeys her husband, she will enter Paradise from any gate she wishes."

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "If I were to order anyone to prostrate to another, I would have ordered a wife to prostrate before her husband."

Grade: Hasan (Fair) according to At-Tirmidhi

Ali Al-Qari said, "That she prostrates to her husband is due to the number of his rights over her and her difficulty in maintaining gratitude for them. This rhetorical point conveys the obligation of the wife to obey her husband in his rights. Indeed, prostration is not lawful to anyone other than Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala."
