Poem: If We're Too Different, We Won't Connect, And I'm Not Bothered By It.

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 
🗒️ I'm unsurprised when certain souls and I can't connect, 
Like when wood and plastic stay still when placed near magnets. 
When actors with foul motives or clowns who are depressed
Meet one who's authentic and grateful for Allah's gifts, 
Don't expect them to become besties. They won't connect...
~•~
....Souls won't connect if they don't share the same interests, 
If the languages they speak invite frequent conflict
And their conflicting vibes mostly trigger awkwardness, 
Like when a turtle would hide or stare with nervousness
Upon seeing creatures bigger or stronger than it.
~•~
Some females and I can't click? I'm not bothered by it. 
This one glorifies divorce offline and in public, 
While I encourage myself and loyal wives to keep 
Loving with patience the man whom Allah selected 
As your soulmate. Don't take a blessed marriage for granted.
~•~
And that one ...with this one, they're so materialistic, 
Interested in amassing joys which are short-lived, 
While I prefer to join the few whom Allah guided
To strive for true success and Jannah's eternal bliss.
The wise don't incline to those who live like slugs and pigs.
~•~
To guess that a person's "lonely" for not posting pics 
Of their group outings and trips online is as stupid
As suspecting a couple's love if they don't have kids. 
We're here to serve Allah, not to build many friendships.
I feel no shame in being cautious and selective.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: 'If only I had done something else.' Rather say: "Allah has decreed what He wills." Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of shaytan."

📖 Ibn Hibban reported: Abu Darda RadhiAllahu 'anhu said, "A righteous companion is better than solitude, and solitude is better than an evil companion. A good writer is better than one silent, and one silent is better than an evil writer."
