Poem: Warning Against Constantly Cursing Other Muslims

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

💌 When you ask yourself, "Why is that person still alive, 

Successful at their work, obviously still doing fine 

Despite praying to Allah against them many times 

For their terrible treatment, injustice, wrongs and lies?" 

Think, they may not deserve your curse. By Allah they're liked?

~•~

What if they beg for Allah's Forgiveness day and night?

Maybe their mistakes were done when they weren't upright, 

When their faith wasn't strong and they felt empty inside?

Or what you found offensive was rightly justified 

And they were just assertively defending their rights?

~•~

Perhaps those Muslims whom you pray against oftentimes 

Maintain special connection with Allah, which is why 

The outcomes of your frequent curses can't come to light. 

Perhaps you pray, "May Allah curse them," and they, meanwhile,

Hope Allah forgives you and joins you with those He guides. 

~•~

Next time a Muslim does something hurtful, analyze, 

"Maybe they didn't mean it? Were they compelled that time 

By nosy haters to act in a way that's not right? 

What if praying against them nearly each day and night 

Does nothing but spoils the quality of my own life?"

~•~

Discontinue cursing other Muslims for their crimes, 

Because some curses are unfair and unjustified. 

When a Muslim offends you or your rights are denied, 

Forgive them for Allah. Don't copy their toxic vibes. 

Believe Allah's Justice always comes at the best time.

~•~

📖 Abu Darda RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said: "Verily, when a servant curses something, the curse rises to the heaven and the gates of heaven close upon it. It turns right and left and if it does not find a place to go, it will return to that which was cursed, only if it deserved to be cursed; otherwise the curse will return upon the one who made it."

Poem: Three Clear Signs That You Married The Right Man And Your Marriage Is A True Blessing

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

💌 Three signs that indicate your marriage is a blessing, 

That your bond is a gift from Allah the Most Loving, 

That choosing to stay married is the right decision, 

That your man is not a mistake, and you are thriving 

As a loyal wife and friend to your destined husband: 

~•~

One: Despite the miles between you when he is working, 

In spite of his frequent absence or some arguments, 

And though he's not as romantic as your friends' husbands, 

You persist in loving him with relentless patience, 

Loving him for Allah since the very beginning.

~•~

Two: Although for certain souls you sense brief attraction, 

Or there are occasions when your nafs feels like cheating, 

You remain loyal for Allah's sake with persistence, 

Content with your spouse whom Allah has wisely chosen, 

Specially when having him inspires you to strengthen. 

~•~

Three: Divorce, to you, is appalling and revolting, 

A wimpy move that shows one's love wasn't genuine. 

Each time you and your other half encounter problems, 

You're willing to solve them, you're guided to be patient, 

And you know that marital tests aren't permanent.

~•~

Your husband's wealth, job or fam isn't why you keep him. 

Loving him for Allah's sake keeps your love long-lasting. 

You want him in Jannah, don't want to see him losing, 

And you'll do what you can to ensure you're both winning 

Allah's Love through this marriage - both a test and blessing.

~•~

Note: Reminder Regarding Laylatul Qadr

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

💌 Tomorrow Inn-sha-Allah Wednesday May 5 (2021) will be the 23rd of Ramadan (1442) here in the Philippines. Instead of searching for Laylatul Al-Qadr exclusively on the odd nights (21, 23, 25, 27, 29), strive to do as many good deeds as you can for Allah's sake in all the remaining nights until Eid Al-Fitr 

(Inn-sha-Allah on May 12 or 13 depending on the moon sighting). Even if some people have announced that they witnessed the sun without rays the next morning, indicating it was probably Laylatul Qadr that evening, you shouldn't stop praying the night prayers, saying Du'a, and reading from the Noble Qur'an. 

Ambitious students who put extra effort to their overall performance and employees who work overtime generally obtain more benefits and rewards than their counterparts who carry out only the basic requirements.

📖 Aisha RadhiAllahu 'anha narrated: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, if I know which night is the Night of Decree (Laylatul Qadr), what should I say during it?” The Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Say: 'O Allah, You are Pardoning and Generous. You love to forgive, so forgive me.'"

Poem: Five Secrets To Not Feeling "Lonely" At All

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

💌 Five tips or secrets to not feeling "lonely" at all 

In instances where many would feel lonesome or bored, 

When their calls or messages are frequently ignored, 

When traveling solo, when shopping alone at malls, 

Or you've got news, but there's no trusted human to call: 

~•~

One: Know for certain that Allah is always watching, 

Hearing all your statements, those uttered and unspoken. 

Wherever you go, Allah is Above listening. 

Only Allah knows all solutions to your problems. 

Embrace Allah's Love and look forward to meeting Him.

~•~

Two: Believe that there are Angels nearby recording, 

Obedient slaves of Allah closely monitoring 

Your words, your decisions and deliberate actions. 

Three: Think of the dangers of befriending the wrong friends. 

Solitude is safer than groups that bring corruption.

~•~

Four: Affirm the more you're alert and intelligent,

The more you'd shun those prone to lying and gossiping. 

Peace is in loving Allah much more than His servants. 

Five: Ultimately, your good deeds are your companions 

In your grave. When you're buried, most loved ones would move on.

~•~

Another tip is to focus on reaching your goals. 

Stay busy striving for Allah, on meaningful works, 

Read Qur'an, learn Islam, say Du'a, share what you know, 

And disregard foes whose dark hearts clash with your pure soul. 

Living for Allah Who can't die is what keeps us whole.

~•~
