الْحَمْدُ للهِ نَحْمَدُه ونستعينُه ، ونستغفرُه ، ونعوذُ باللهِ من شرورِ أنفسِنا ، ومن سيئاتِ أعمالِنا ، مَن يَهْدِهِ اللهُ فلا مُضِلَّ له ، ومَن يُضْلِلْ فلا هادِيَ له ، وأشهدُ أن لا إله إلا اللهُ وحدَه لا شريكَ له ، وأشهدُ أنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عبدُه ورسولُه .
Al-Nu’man ibn Bashir RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said:
أَلَا وَإِنَّ فِي الْجَسَدِ مُضْغَةً إِذَا صَلَحَتْ صَلَحَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ وَإِذَا فَسَدَتْ فَسَدَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ أَلَا وَهِيَ الْقَلْبُ
Verily, in the body is a piece of flesh which, if sound, the entire body is sound, and if corrupt, the entire body is corrupt. Truly, it is the heart.

Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “Verily, when the servant commits a sin, a black mark appears upon his heart. If he abandons the sin, seeks forgiveness, and repents, then his heart will be polished. If he returns to the sin, the blackness will be increased until it overcomes his heart. It is the covering that Allah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) has mentioned: No, rather a covering is over their hearts from what they have earned.” (The Noble Qur'an 83:14)

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

Dear sisters in Islam of various ages and tribes,
Whether you're in college or you're done with high school life,
Or you manage a business, or you work late at night,
Or you're a busy teacher, nursing student, or wife,
Regardless of your background, please welcome some advice:
~•~
Sharing some advice, and Only Allah truly guides
Whom He Wills to the truth and to Jannah Paradise:
Dear sisters, protect your hearts with Dhikr day and night.
Humbly say Du'a. Ask Allah for your needs and likes.
Say Du'a especially during Qiyaam Al-Layl.
~•~
When supplicating to Allah don't feel shy to cry.
Allah the Most Wise hears us and sees us at all times.
Even for minor and simple things never feel shy
To ask Allah the All-Hearing for your needs and likes,
Like praying you'll marry a rich, righteous Muslim guy.
~•~
From the ways to shield your heart is to stay safe online.
Stay away from time-consuming reels and toxic vibes,
Far away from scammers, liars and clowns who backbite,
Away from doubtful content mostly made with AI,
And away from keyboard warriors who just waste our time.
~•~
Avoid all forms of fitna by choosing to be wise.
Be smart with spending money - myself I first remind.
Do charity when you can, and don't be way too kind -
Too kind that you end up with debts or forget your rights.
Teacups can't fill any mug if they're empty inside.
~•~
Another way to safeguard your heart is simply by
Abandoning every sin which Allah does not like.
Shun bid'ah, listening to music to pass the time,
Visiting fortunetellers who make money through lies,
Gambling and greedily desiring this worldly life.
~•~
More ways to ensure your heart is secure day and night,
With Allah's Will: Obey Allah. Respect Allah's Rights.
When trials sometimes arise, try not to question "why?"
But stay firm and pray that everything will be alright,
If not soon in this world then surely in Paradise.
~•~
Patiently accept Allah's Qadr when He denies,
When He rejects, declines or withholds from us at times,
Or when He delays certain things so we realize
Our shortcomings, so to do Tawbah we get inspired,
And so we don't overestimate ourselves with pride.
~•~
Another thing to keep in mind if we wish to thrive
With our faith Imaan levels remaining strong or high:
Continue seeking knowledge from sources which are right,
Read the Noble Qur'an often, more verses recite,
Shield ourselves with Dhikr from magic and evil eyes.
~•~
Detach from shameful traits like envying others' lives,
Nosily spying on strangers online and offline,
Showing ingratitude - not easily satisfied,
Disrespecting elders, to youngsters being unkind,
And immodesty in one's speech, actions and attire.
~•~
Don't copy silly trends. Your honor don't sacrifice.
All humans are imperfect. Don't chase applause and likes.
Don't follow crowds. Most people may not reach Paradise.
Don't go near injustice - even with those we despise.
What goes around comes around - if not on earth, next life.
~•~
Some signs of good souls with soft hearts filled with noor or light:
Shedding tears when they say Du'a, when they sympathize,
When reading the Qur'an, when the truth they recognize,
When forgiving a fellow Muslim after some fights,
And when yearning for entry to Jannah Paradise.
~•~
More signs of true believers with tender hearts alight:
One: Willingness to join circles where they are inspired
To learn and share Islam, and serve Allah the Most Kind.
Two: Rest assured, they don't get jealous; they'll just admire -
Look up to sincere Muslims not attached to this life.
~•~
Third sign of beautiful souls with tender hearts alive:
Eagerness to do more than what they should do. They strive
To please Allah when opportunities they can find,
Like praying Salat Ad-Duha, Tahajjud at night,
And fasting Sunnah fasts like in Dhul-Hijjah day nine.
~•~
May Allah Al-Ghafoor forgive us for all those times
When we disobeyed Him when our Imaan wasn't high,
May Allah As-Samee' and Al-Haadi always guide
Us to the correct belief and path to Paradise,
And May Allah keep us from being lost and unwise. Ameen.
~•~
