Poem: As Allah's Servants, Someday We Must Return To Him

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

💌 Even if we take precautions to flee from dying, 

Even if we tried to ensure our life is lengthened 

By eating healthily and exercising often, 

By resting, commuting safely, and quitting smoking, 

At some point in time, we'll die when our death is destined.

~•~

Even if global pandemic were non-existent, 

Even if on earth there weren't any sick patients, 

For as long as Allah made us and we're His servants, 

One day or night we'll return to Allah for certain, 

Hopefully we die after we've prayed or while praying.

~•~

Anybody can wish for a life that's long-lasting 

And try their best to increase their worldly achievements, 

Whilst ensuring they're in a secure environment, 

But if Allah destines that a soul returns to Him 

On such and such a date, none can pause Allah's timing.

~•~

Any soul can plan for their wedding, graduation, 

Job interview, studies, or long-awaited mansion, 

While frequently asking Allah to grant more blessings, 

But if Allah wants someone to die in an instant, 

Nobody can stop Allah's Qadr from occuring.

~•~

Even if daily news these days weren't frightening 

And if all living things felt safe in their surroundings, 

All of Allah's slaves undoubtedly have an ending. 

Nonetheless, each soul's landing place is not the same thing. 

Pray to Allah that we're from those whom He greets smiling.

~•~ 

Note: Reminder to recite Surah Al-Mulk once in the daytime and evening so 

Inn-sha-Allah we're protected from the grave's torment.

It is the chapter: 'Blessed is He (Allah the Almighty) in Whose Hand is the Dominion.'" (The Noble Qur'an 67:1)

Poem: Three Reasons Why A Loyal And Confident Wife Doesn't Need To Spy On Her Husband's Cellphone

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

💌 Three reasons why it's wrong to spy on your man's cellphone, 

Why it's unwise to inspect what he specially owns 

Even if the password to his phone's screen lock is known, 

Or when you're found using his gadget he never scolds, 

It's still wiser to respect him wherever he goes: 

~•~

Firstly - Frequently searching through his phone clearly shows 

That you can't trust him, as though he's not a grown adult. 

Snooping around his inbox when he just came from work, 

While he's asleep, in the bathroom, working or outdoors, 

Makes him feel much smaller than your distrust and ego.

~•~

Second - Monitoring his phone usage, what he knows, 

Who he communicates with and the places he'd go, 

Can waste your time, more so if he keeps other cellphones. 

Acting like a surveillance cam or agent also 

Increases stress when pointless curiosity grows.

~•~

Third - No need to surveil one's spouse when Muslims should know 

That Allah sees all the things which occur in this world, 

There are recording angels watching how souls perform, 

On Judgment Day Allah's Perfect Justice shall be shown, 

And lack of trust between spouses can bring forth divorce.

~•~

Believe in Allah and be smart enough to take note 

That loyal, tough and patient wives are so few on earth. 

By insecurely keeping track of your husband's phone, 

You're sending him signal that he can't be left alone, 

As you won't trust him, until he leaves you on your own.

~•~

And if Allah seeks his faults, He will expose him even in the privacy of his own house."

Poem: Some Negative Qualities Of Disloyal/Disrespectful Wives To Avoid

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

💌 Five signs to watch out for to spot a disloyal wife, 

To detect a woman who's easily prone to pride 

And who acts like she loves her husband when deep inside 

She married him just for the cash that he can provide, 

Or for his job title so by many she's admired: 

~•~

One - Online and offline she befriends non-mahram guys, 

Chatting with this guy and other men in her spare time 

About random issues without guilt, and in her eyes 

It's "fine" to be chill and casual with people she likes, 

As hanging with males since high school is her usual style.

~•~ 

Two - To take a sip from where her spouse drank she dislikes. 

If she knows the parts where he ate from or took some bites 

From edibles she'd nibble at a different side 

Or rewash the utensils he used several times. 

Treat him like a lover, not dirt you're disgusted by.

~•~

Three - Domineering and disrespectful of his rights, 

She bosses him around and yells at him oftentimes, 

Tries to control his whereabouts, goals, likes and dislikes, 

And she threatens him with divorce whenever they'd fight, 

Asserting she can marry another anytime.

~•~

Four - Insincere in her love, untrustworthy and sly, 

Manipulative and self-serving a lot of times, 

This actress easily switches from kind to unkind 

When her husband can't fulfill demands although he's tired 

And struggling. The term "uncaring" befits bad wives.

~•~

Five - Scornfully she insists that he'd prioritize 

Pleasing her more than his mom and Allah the Most Wise. 

She's the type to frequently criticize and backbite 

About her in-laws, adding stress to her husband's life, 

Through frequent nagging, scolding, complaints, and spiteful vibes.

~•~

From the traits common among loyal and patient wives: 

They fear Allah most, love one's spouse for Allah, and strive 

To be gentle, to be respectful, to sympathize, 

Help one's zawj in what's right, and if he's unsatisfied,

They're willing to bravely share him with another wife.

~•~

📖 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."
