Poem: Never Expect To Be Liked By Everyone.

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

💌 Allah loving you doesn’t mean you’ll be loved by all.

Expect liars who fear the truth and reject your call,

Claim you’re just pretending, while they long to see you fall.

Your honesty and pure heart are what make them feel small.

~•~

Your heart carries faith/Imaan which clashes with their lies.

If you often compliment, they love to criticize.

Their hateful inner selves make them miserable inside

So much so they maltreat you when you try to be kind.

~•~

Pros at rolling their eyes when you spread positive vibes,

It’s hard to click with those who got jealousy to hide.

You’re like a precious diamond emitting bright light,

Only by few people is your value recognized.

~•~

Trust Allah Who already chose the names of those souls

Destined to befriend you and understand your true worth.

Dialogues with them are genuine and smoothly flow,

Their traits and mission perfectly align with your goals.

~•~

Know that Allah’s Prophets also had foes who despised

Good character, belief, justice, morals and advice.

Thus it’s fine if by some acquaintances you’re not liked.

What’s important is we’re loved by Allah the Most Wise.

~•~

Poem: On Giving Others Benefit Of The Doubt

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

💌 Reminder to fellow Muslims, including myself,

To avoid judging others while forgetting yourself,

Behaving as though you’re perfect one hundred percent,

Assuming you know someone’s niyyah or real intent.

~•~

Don’t automatically assume somebody hates you

If their replies to your text are late or they seem rude.

Maybe they’re busy with tons of work and tasks to do,

Or they’re dealing with inner struggles or depressed moods.

~•~

Don’t instantly judge a person to be arrogant

When you’re threatened by their achievements or appearance,

Or you interacted with each other only once.

Get to actually know them. You may form a new friend.

~•~

Some folks avoiding eye contact doesn’t always mean

They despise you, you’re too despicable to be seen,

Or they don’t care. Not gazing at you oftentimes means

Respecting space or refusing to pursue their feels.

~•~

Some friends not reaching out doesn’t indicate they’re fake.

They’re likely guessing you’re fine, not in a troubled state.

Or they got their own problems, affairs in disarray.

Hence they stay quiet, afraid to overload your plate.

~•~

Realize we’re humans, with flaws and imperfections,

With various struggles, needs, skills, and varied perceptions.

What seems right in your opinion could look wrong to some.

What you think is good for you may not fit everyone.

~•~

What matters most is you and I strive to please Allah,

With sincere niyyah and adherence to the Sunnah.

Advise. Correct each other’s wrongs, while shunning fitna.

Accept the truth. Just Allah knows who deserves Jannah.

~•~

📖 Al-Bayhaqi reported: Ja’far Ibn Muhammad, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “If you hear something from your brother that you reject (or dislike), make an excuse for him up to seventy excuses. If you cannot do it, then say: ‘Perhaps he has an excuse that I do not know.’”

Poem: Advice To Those Searching For A Spouse

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

💐 Quick poem on ‘the search of true love’ as requested -

First tip: Stay modest. Avoid haraam relationships.

If you wish to be wed to a spouse who is righteous,

Fix yourself first. Stay away from the prohibited.

~•~

Second: Talk to Allah and earnestly supplicate.

For the right other half who deserves you daily pray.

Say du'as that Allah blesses your marriage always,

And grants you patience to accept every fate with faith.

~•~

Third: Remember, you don’t need a man to complete you.

One’s marriage life does not measure a Muslim’s value.

Still, marriage is a Sunnah which should not be eschewed.

Better married young than sin through zinaa in one’s youths.

~•~

Four: Before marriage life, learn Islam, know its rulings.

Read about the requirements for a blissful union.

Also research on polygyny and its wisdom.

Befriend happy Muslim wives and learn lessons from them.

~•~

Five: When you like someone, let guardians or loved ones know.

Should there be no meeting, try fasting for self-control,

With modesty lower your gaze wherever you go.

Shun needless free-mixing. Don’t have a flirtatious tone.

~•~

As a single Muslimah don’t court those you adore

Nor create forbidden relations just coz you’re bored.

If one day a man approaches your folks to propose,

Don’t let his age, race or tribe make you quickly say no.

~•~

Prior to deciding, pray Sunnah Istikhaarah.

Cleanse Niyyah before accepting; do it for Allah.

Nikah for Allah’s sake becomes blessed Inn-sha-Allah.

A marriage that’s a blessing goes on until Jannah.

Poem: Definition Of Kindness

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

💌 Among the qualities that Allah the Most Kind loves

Are kindness and gentleness, having a tender heart,

One free from envy, suspicion and negative thoughts,

With willingness to understand and be unselfish.

~•~

Kindness isn’t only in spending money on friends

Nor is it restricted to giving out gifts often.

You can be kind with your time, advice, supplications,

Sharing knowledge, and preventing yourself from harming.

~•~

When passing by some Muslims, be the first to greet them,

Or at least don’t harm them with some offensive statements.

Be soft and easygoing when dealing with children,

Pat the heads of orphans, share smiles, let your heart soften.

~•~

Upon noticing someone receive unjust treatment,

Or they’re encountering injustice and oppression,

Be strong enough to defend them, lessen their problems,

Or at least pray for their well-being from a distance.

~•~

When some are backbiting about another Muslim,

Instead of reacting with laughter or scared silence,

Remind them of how gossiping is forbidden,

Leave the group, or say something to change the discussion.

~•~

If you have extra things to share, or surplus items,

Make effort to give them away to those who’ll need them.

When some require feedback or your honest opinion,

Advise them honestly to improve their condition.

~•~

Kindness isn’t just found in things that can be touched,

Given by one who’s financially generous,

But you can be kind by making good use of your heart

To inspire, save lives, and spread vibes that are positive.

~•~

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu ‘anhu narrated: Allah’s noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “Whoever relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, Allah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever helps ease one in difficulty, Allah will make it easy for him in this world and in the Hereafter. Whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and in the Hereafter. Allah helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Whoever travels a path in search of knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise. People do not gather in the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it together, but that tranquility will descend upon them, mercy will cover them, angels will surround them, and Allah will mention them to those near Him. Whoever is slow to good deeds will not be hastened by his lineage.”

Poem: Prioritize Your Life For Allah.

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

💌 Each day you have a chance to do good deeds Allah loves,

From learning about Islam to sharing helpful thoughts,

Reading inspirational writings, saying Du'as,

And listening to Islamic lectures or podcasts.

~•~

You got freewill to mostly lay in bed, so depressed,

Recalling past memories, crying over failed tests,

Or force yourself to get up, trust Allah, do your best,

With firm faith, patience, and gratitude, pass every test.

~•~

You can select to watch vlogs on YouTube and feel less,

Unsatisfied with what you have, upsizing your mess,

Comparing your life to others’ lives, getting jealous,

Or for the gifts Allah gave, you can stay contented.

~•~

You have freedom to binge on music videos and songs,

Entertain yourself with funny memes and learn foul jokes,

Or you can seek useful knowledge to strengthen your soul,

And improve connection with Allah to remain whole.

~•~

Night and day do things that bring you closer to Allah,

Prioritize doing what makes you deserve Jannah,

Avoiding toxic addictions which lead to fitna,

And through life’s storms we’ll emerge stronger Inn-sha-Allah.

~•~

📖 Ibn ‘Abbas RadhiAllahu 'anhuma narrated: Allah’s noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “Take advantage of five before five: Your youth before your old age, your health before your illness, your riches before your poverty, your free time before your work, and your life before your death.”
