📝 Emotions are like the storm or cold snowy weather.
Like this world, they're temporary. Most feelings later
Subside. Emotions are tests which don't last forever.
Remember that Allah's enemy, shaytan, whispers
Into people's hearts, hence don't obey shaytan's orders.
~•~
It's from the devil's tactics to promise there's pleasure
And so-called "success" in sinning, so we surrender
Our faith and connection with Allah the Creator.
Don't listen to what shaytan tells your heart; this liar
Seeks your failure so he gathers roommates in Hellfire.
~•~
Don't let grief lead to suicide nor cause you to injure
Yourself. Don't let envy urge you to mistreat others.
Don't let wrath bring forth injustice. Don't allow anger
And pride to prevent you from forgiving your mother,
Father and siblings so you treat them like mere strangers.
~•~
Don't let severe anxiety make you forgo Dhikr.
Fear Only Allah and trust Him Who has full power
To control everything on earth and what it covers.
Don't let unlawful lust compel you to dishonor
Your values due to someone's deceptive exterior.
~•~
Don't let joy make you selfish, greedy for life's "glitter"
And "treasures" which distract souls from more serious matter.
If ever you've acted on foul emotions, since you're
Just human, pray that Allah forgives all your errors.
From your mistakes learn to be more careful and wiser.
~•~
If emotions are like the storm, while the temperature
Outdoors can't be controlled, then take protective measures.
Shield yourself with firm Taqwa and consistent prayers.
Choose close friends cautiously. Never let your sight wander.
Safeguard your Imaan with true knowledge and reminders.
~•~
That your 'Aqeedah belief is right always ensure,
Because there's no use in controlling feelings if your
Actions contain bid'ah and of Tawheed you're unsure.
Learn more about Islam and stay sincere to secure
Your heart from the schemes of shaytan the cursed and impure.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Some of the companions came to the Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam and they asked him, "We find within ourselves that which is too grievous to speak of." The noble Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "You have indeed found it so?" They said "yes". The Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "That is (a sign of) sincere faith (Imaan)."
In another narration, the Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "That is (evidence or sign of) pure faith (recognizing that shaytan is attempting to distract you because he sees the strength of your faith/Imaan or potential to be pious)."

📖 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."
