🌻 She's a different kind of savage with Allah by her side,
A colorful box of myriad feelings she's able to hide,
Unaffected by jealous foes and their delusional lies,
In a world where only a brave few can enjoin what is right.
~•~
So long as it's the truth, she can go on speaking with delight,
Yet knowing her limits, she can befriend silence anytime,
When her soul's language can't be understood by those with closed minds,
She goes quiet while reciting from the Qur'an day and night.
~•~
She's not bored; she's curious, busy learning to become more wise.
"Lonely" doesn't define her if she shuns liars who backbite.
Her honesty intimidates folks who envy and tell lies,
Like when zebras in stripes take flight once a fierce lion arrives.
~•~
"She only has Allah" is a fact that keeps her satisfied,
Unmindful of what her vile opponents make up from behind.
Du'as while oppressed, while fasting or while praying past midnight,
And Dhikr, are priceless gifts that keep her smiling from inside.
~•~
An odd combo of sweet and sour, who plays fair all the time,
With real intentions that can't be recognized by the unwise,
She doesn't care if by society she's "in" or disliked,
Since her concern is Allah's Love and home is in Paradise.

📖 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 (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala), 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.”. (QaddarAllahu wa maa shaa-a fa'al) Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of shaytan.“
