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.

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."

Tips: Why Some Loved Ones Can't Always Answer Your Messages In A Timely Manner

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
📝 Seven probable reasons why someone who cares about you for Allah's sake (such as your spouse, sibling, relatives or colleague etc.) may not always answer your messages in a timely manner, so forgive them when their responses are delayed sometimes: 
1] Maybe they actually typed their response and pressed the "send" or "submit" button but their internet connection was unstable at that time or unknowingly they weren't connected to a WiFi network for some reason. 
2] Maybe they typed a message and sent their response but due to some temporary glitches or technical issues in the messaging application from their side or yours, some of their messages failed to reach your inbox. 
3] They probably responded but somebody who has access to your gadgets may have borrowed your cellphone and deleted their messages from your inbox for some reason, possibly due to intensely despising the sender or they believe that deleting unnecessary, irrelevant or incomprehensible messages would make inboxes appear more organized. 
4] There could be a possibility that they noticed your new messages and quickly opened the message thread or conversation panel but something else came up when they were about to respond to you. Maybe they were distracted by one of their children, nieces, nephews or an infant they were entrusted with, or they had to take an important phonecall or video call until they eventually forgot to answer your messages. 
5] Perhaps they've just had an argument with a loved one and they felt too upset or agitated to answer your messages after skimming through their inbox. 
6] Perhaps they're seriously struggling with overwork or depression and their stress or bad mood prevents them from feeling enthusiastic about answering every message they receive. 
7] Maybe they're one of those lazy or traditional individuals who aren't interested in typing messages, whether lengthy or concise, and they are more comfortable with talking to you face to face. 
If you truly love a Muslim for Allah's sake, you wouldn't easily abandon them even if they aren't very communicative at times.

Do not seek out faults, do not spy on each other, do not contend with each other, do not envy each other, do not hate each other, and do not turn away from each other. Rather, be servants of Allah as brothers."
