Poem: Loving My Husband For Allah's Sake Inspires Me To Rhyme And Strive To Become A Better Muslimah

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💚 Love makes me do strange things, when I love for Allah's sake.
Love lets me block users who defile my husband's name.
When I sense some dislike him, I ditch them without shame,
Ready to dump anyone who wants my spouse debased.
~•~
If you like me, like him too, or accept why I've stayed.
True friends respect my choices. There's not much to explain.
Inspired by love to pray for my husband night and day,
With hope I supplicate he'll be more righteous someday.
~•~
Love makes me ignore his flaws, thus I appreciate
Each good thing he's done before, today and yesterday.
If tomorrow or anytime he makes a mistake,
Love brings me to forgive him without any dismay.
~•~
Love is when he says "Turn off the lights" and I obey,
Not telling him "Say please, first." I love him anyway.
Love is enjoying every touch of his tight embrace,
And when he needs to rest, I spoil him with all the space.
~•~
Love is staying loyal, not caring what critics say.
When naysayers bash my bae, I belie their false claims.
When I find myself liking some for their noble traits,
Straight away, faithfully, I recall my man's dear face.
~•~
Love lets me see myself in my husband's place always.
Thus I'm quick to pardon him when he's away for days,
When he errs or gets me worried whenever he's late,
Love pushes me to sympathize with his stressful state.
~•~
Love forces me to disturb his sleep so he can pray,
And makes me sweetly mention him when I supplicate,
Praying that Allah blesses our marriage everyday,
Staying together till we arrive by Jannah's Gates.

Tips: 13 Comebacks You Can Say To Someone Who Is Gossiping About Other Muslims

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

✅ 13 comebacks or clever statements which you can say to a person who is obnoxiously gossiping about one of your loved ones, a colleague or mutual acquaintance (when defending a Muslim for Allah's sake): 
1🔹 "...says the person who isn't perfect himself/herself."
2🔹 "and you're perfect? Flawless? Infallible? Please, don't be delusional." 
3🔹 "what about you? You yourself aren't perfect. Stop acting like you're all that." 
4🔹 "are you sure you didn't receive such info from someone who's just jealous of them? Rumors are often invented by those who are extremely envious of the subject of gossip or they're trying to distract themselves from their misery through maligning others." 
5🔹 "and? Are you expecting me to congratulate you on being an insecure gossiper? I hate gossipmongers."
6🔹 "why do you mention their name a lot? Are you obsessed with them? They're married and very contented. OR they're single and uninterested."
7🔹 "you seem so concerned for them. What if we go to them together and inform them straightforwardly about what's worrying you?"
8🔹 "you know that gossiping about other Muslims is a major sin, right? So why are you doing it? There's nothing admirable in being ignorant or deliberately stupid." 
9🔹 "am I supposed to give you a round of applause or certificate to award you for your lack of good character? No matter how unsatisfied you are with yourself, it's not cool to gossip about others."
10🔹 "whatever. How can I be fully certain you're not inventing some lies?"
11🔹 "it seems like your parents failed at educating you about good manners. Do you always resort to backbiting whenever your jealousy and insecurities are triggered?"
12🔹 "wow. I had no idea you felt so jealous of them, which is why you regularly gossip about them eagerly. So how long have you been diagnosed with intense envy? Quit dissing that person. Let's discuss how we can solve your struggle with jealousy."
13🔹 "every time you open your mouth and cowardly gossip about that Muslim, you probably lose many rewards of your previous good deeds. Why are you so unkind to yourself?"

📖 Suhail Ibn Abee Salih narrated from his father, who narrated from Abu Hurairah RadhiAllahu 'anhu that the Messenger of Allah [Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam] said: Verily Allah (The Almighty) loves three things for you and He (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) hates three things for you. He (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) loves that you worship Him alone and that you do not join anyone else in your worship of Him (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) and that you do not worship other than Him (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala); He (Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) loves that you hold tight altogether to the Rope of Allah and that you do not be divided; and that you advise the one placed in charge over your affairs. And Allah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) hates for you Qeel Wa Qaal [i.e. he said and she said – spreading rumours]; He (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) hates for you the wasting of wealth and He (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) hates for you excessive questioning [i.e. questioning devoid of benefit].
