Poem: Why I Despise Divorce Even Though It Is Halal

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

💌 Why I hesitate to ask my husband for divorce, 

Even though it is halal if problems can't be solved: 

I believe that the man whom Allah the Most Wise chose 

As my soulmate inspires my love for Allah to grow, 

Specially through Du'as when my man's not always close.

~•~

I believe there's wisdom in Allah bringing us both. 

Through this marriage, thanks to Allah, I have learned and known 

The sweet outcomes of patience with what Allah bestows, 

Polygyny's role in inspiring spiritual growth, 

And how real love is shown when you forgive your man's faults.

~•~

It's not that I don't have the guts to beg for divorce. 

I'd rather focus on a rose's scent and colors 

Than be a dreary critic that whines about its thorns. 

I'd rather keep a gift from Allah than have it thrown, 

More so if throwing it away just leads to remorse.

~•~

"He's busy, not abusive.", "He clearly didn't know.", 

"Yes, at times he may be too preoccupied with work, 

But I'm aware he's got other dreams, concerns and goals. 

As his wife, I don't want to be the cause of his hurt, 

His tears, weakened level of faith, and feelings of guilt."

~•~

If ever we split up, I'd only wish to return, 

Research ways to have wedding two with my husband first, 

Refusing to quit as I wasn't born a coward. 

As a Muslimah who strives to value Allah's Laws, 

I believe marriage stays strong when it's for Allah's Love.

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."

Poem: Some Tips To Cope With Being Despised By Some People

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

💌 Some souls are like the sneeze; when they leave, we thank Allah, 

For shielding us from their bad vibes that invite fitna, 

From their frequent lies, fakery, gheeba, nameema, 

And their disinterest in striving towards Jannah. 

Like parasites, they bring nothing but stress and mishaps.

~•~

Some are like chewing gum, with flavor that can't last long. 

Temporary, good for seasons that can't be prolonged, 

Brief friendships often occur when one person is prone 

To jealousy, feeling insecure, threatened or bored, 

And proud refusal to forgive a non-robot's wrongs.

~•~

The likeness of certain users who choose to unfriend, 

Block your account, or depart from group chats you attend, 

Is that of dead cells which snakes shed to renew their skins,

Or dry leaves which fall from trees when they're shoved by strong winds.

No difference can be spotted, with or without them.

~•~

Tips to cope better with those whose goals conflict with yours: 

Focus on loving Allah, and love Allah the most. 

Recall Prophet Nuh ('alaihis salaam) and how not many showed support. 

By knowing Allah is with us, we won't feel alone. 

Solitude is sweeter than rapport which makes life worse. 

~•~

People in general click with those they relate to. 

Thus, if you're unique or stand out, close friends may be few. 

And that's perfectly fine, when you have Allah with you. 

In the end, what join us when we die are deeds we do, 

Not our fam, not our fans nor VIPs we once knew.

Two of them return and one remains. His family, his wealth, and his deeds follow him. His family and wealth return, but his deeds remain (with the dead in their graves)."
