Poem: The Differences Between Truly Loving A Muslim For Allah's Sake And Having A Temporary Crush

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

💌 Three main differences between love for Allah's sake 

And having a crush on someone whom you can't obtain, 

Some ways to distinguish between love that isn't fake 

And feelings of attraction that often go away 

When one discovers that one's crush doesn't feel the same: 

~•~ 

When it comes to crushes, you want to ensure always 

That you seem "perfect" in your looks, what you do and say. 

In contrast, when some love you truly for Allah's sake, 

They accept your flaws, help without forcing you to change, 

And your true self doesn't disgust them in any way. 

~•~

When around your crushes, your heart quickly palpitates, 

You get nervous or tense, while some body parts may shake. 

Contrary to that, when you love some for Allah's sake, 

You feel at peace in their presence, and when they're away 

You miss them and smile, praying you'll reunite someday.

~•~

When a crush does something hurtful, you can't concentrate, 

And when they've been absent, you're easy to irritate. 

On the other hand, when you love some for Allah's sake, 

You easily give them excuse, forgive their mistakes, 

And pardon their late replies, moodiness, and delays.

~•~ 

Having a crush on someone can take just a few days, 

And you forget them once another crush comes your way, 

Or infatuation dies when you're tired of heartbreaks. 

As for truly loving a Muslim for Allah's sake, 

Even after they've died, your love loyally remains.

Note: There Is Always Wisdom Behind Allah's Will To Prevent Or Take Something Or Someone From You

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

💌 Oftentimes Allah the All-Knowing answers your Du'as not in the form of giving, bestowing and adding, but in taking something from you, removing someone from your circle of companions and preventing you from attaining certain things you assume are good for you when in reality they aren't. So when your job application was rejected, when that marriage proposal was not accepted, when those individuals whom you thought could be trustworthy friends became total strangers again, when you and some souls aren't close anymore, when you weren't able to pass an exam, when a project was cancelled, when you lost interest in a permissible activity, when you didn't make it to a particular event, when many have disappointed you so you can't confide in them like you used to, whatever it is that you lost or couldn't achieve may be a blessing in disguise. Maybe Allah is protecting you from the bad influence of someone, from possessing qualities that He dislikes like greed, miserliness and excessive pride, or He wants something ideally suitable for you which is more rewarding as it enhances patience and can lead you faster to the way to Jannah Paradise. Since we're humans with a limited capacity to perceive Allah's Wisdom and we don't have all the knowledge of what goes on around us, it's not right at all to question Him why things are the way they are and why we can't do everything that we like.

In the next life Inn-sha-Allah we can discover that Allah indeed shielded us from several unfortunate outcomes by not giving us all that we desired.

📖 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."

Poem: Confident Muslimahs Are Not Obsessed With Taking Selfies

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

💌 It's a mistake to assume that self-assured ladies 

Are the ones who flaunt their beauty and upload selfies, 

When in reality posting selfies frequently 

Indicates narcissism, clearly low self-esteem, 

And eagerness to be loved through superficial means.

~•~

When you spot females flaunting their insecurities 

Through photos of themselves with filters, corny techniques, 

And fake eyelashes, don't be triggered by jealousy. 

Instead, feel pity and sorry that they have the need 

To seek people's approval by posing cheesily.

~•~

Behind each selfie may be a plea to "look at me, 

Though sad inside, I can smile. Please tell me I'm pretty. 

I put effort into modeling so you can see 

I have what it takes to act like a celebrity.

Without my fans' likes and comments I'd be incomplete."

~•~

Truly confident Muslimahs with inner beauty 

Don't impose on themselves to post cringeworthy selfies. 

They don't care about fitting in with lost crowds, firstly, 

And their prime goal in life is to please Allah Only, 

Through good deeds, a clean heart, and valuing modesty.

~•~

Women with strong faith/Imaan and personality, 

Who thrive by loving Allah more than anybody,  

And fulfilling their duties as Muslims patiently, 

Don't insult themselves by behaving indecently.

Selfie-addiction suits the unhappy inwardly.

~•~

📖 Abu Udhaynah RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The best of your women are loving, fertile, suitable, and comforting, if they fear Allah. The worst of your women unveil their beauty, take pride in their appearance, and they are hypocrites. None of them will enter Paradise except as rarely as you see a red-beaked crow."
