Poem: Even If We're Far From Some Loved Ones, Allah The Almighty Is Always Near

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

📜 To one of my brothers who, with Allah's Will, shall soon 
Travel to study so more of his skills can improve, 
And to those brothers in Islam who can relate too 
Regarding learning as adults in a place that's new
And far away from their loved ones - some advice for you:
~•~
Recall our main purpose; the reason we're here is to 
Worship no one except Allah the Almighty Who 
Always took care of us while we were in our mom's womb.
Allah never left us even if people eschewed
Our presence at times. Allah sees us all through and through.
~•~
Your family and loved ones, and souls who were meant to 
Connect with you, with Allah's Will, are like me and you
In terms of being temporary - we're not here to 
Live on earth forever nor to each other stay glued. 
This world's full of tests. As Muslims we accept the truth.
~•~
Even leaves get dry after some time, flowers fade too, 
And a number of Allah's servants gradually lose 
Touch with those they used to love while others need to choose
Between tough options. More tests from Allah shows that you 
Are special to Allah Who wants your faith to improve.
~•~
Trust Allah. You're not alone. There are many men who 
Cope well, with Allah's Will, while in other countries to 
Work or take courses despite not being able to 
Be near their loved ones. It's okay. Allah is with you.
Jannah's where you can reunite with those who miss you.
~•~
Stay busy with good thoughts. Allah knows what's best for you. 
Many from Allah's Prophets ('alaihim as-salaam), and from the pious, too 
Had to live far away from loved ones in order to 
Attain more blessings, and sometimes success could include 
Sacrificing for Allah because your faith is true.
~•~
📖 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."
