Poem: Don't Fear Being Different As Long As You're In The Right Direction

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

📑 Dear fellow Muslimah, trust Allah the Almighty. 
With strong faith Imaan, never be affected by three: 
People's opinions of you - don't care how you're perceived; 
Temporary feelings - don't rely on how you feel; 
Large numbers - don't make choices based on majority.

Be like a real diamond. If this stone was placed near 
Decaying substances, the gem wouldn't disappear. 
Even if toxic posts on social media appear 
Daily, you remain unfazed by strangers' rants unclear. 
Their frequent complaints can't augment your worries and fears. 
~•~
This one cries "I'm lonely", that one "I've shed lots of tears. 
Nobody understands me. Why am I even here?" 
And several others online whine about severe 
Sadness or anxiety when "friends" disappeared, 
Forgetting the fact that Allah always sees and hears.
~•~
Be like a crow or eagle surrounded by white sheep, 
Not eager to sacrifice its feathers, wings and beak 
To blend in with mammals that have a weird tendency
To follow crowds and obey commands submissively. 
Don't shy away from being unique, to be more free.
~•~
Occasions when you were not invited were likely
Lessons to be more independent and to fully 
Depend on Allah Who knows what's best for you really. 
Purposeless socializing can disrupt your soul's peace.
Solitude turns to a gift when you spend time wisely.
~•~
If many wives complain "I hate my husband, as he 
Is too cheap and miserly.", don't be compelled to leave 
Your spouse because most females are influenced by greed. 
Don't copy the crowd. Don't be emotionally weak. 
No guilt in standing out as long as Allah is Pleased.

📖 Sa'd Ibn Abi Waqqas RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, which of the people are most severely tested?” The Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "They are the prophets, then the next best (in terms of piety), then the next best. A man is put to trial according to his Deen/religion. If he is firm in his religion, his trials will be more severe. If he is weak in his religion, he is put to trial according to his strength in religion. The servant will continue to be put to trial until he is left walking upon the earth without any sin."

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah the Almighty 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."
