💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Reminder to myself and Muslims who can relate,
Who notice that their faith levels sometimes fluctuate,
Motivated when good deeds are done for Allah's sake,
And when sins are committed they feel guilty, dismayed,
And afraid of Allah's Justice when mistakes are made:
~•~
You're not a hypocrite if you oftentimes pray late,
If from time to time you pray Fajr when the sun's rays
Are visible as you overslept, went to bed late
Or depression causes you to have some tasks delayed.
What matters is you believe and to Allah you prayed.
~•~
Don't feel guilty of nifaaq if sometimes you play games,
Watch videos while making sure you don't misuse your gaze,
And joke about some friends when they're present or away.
It's shaytan's job to tempt you so you can lose your way.
Defeat shaytan by disobeying what he dictates.
~•~
The devil and his armies want you to speculate
That you'll never be good enough to reach Jannah's gates.
Don't listen to our enemies. Strive for Allah's sake.
Pray Tahajjud and Duhaa prayer to compensate
For shortcomings in the past along with some delays.
~•~
Allah is the Most Forgiving, recall that always,
And Allah rejoices when you repent for His sake.
More beloved to Allah than people who behave
As if they're "perfect" are Muslims with persistent faith,
Who won't quit serving Allah despite frequent mistakes.

The man said, “O Messenger of Allah, what is sin?” The Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "If something waivers in your soul (makes you feel uncertain/full of doubts), then you must leave it."
