Poem: Advice To The Heartbroken And Those Who Think They're "Still In Love"

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

💌 Note to those who think they've moved on but "love" still lingers 

In their hearts for certain souls who, like magnets, captured 

Their attention and who can't be with their admirers: 

Embrace the truth. You weren't meant to be together.

~•~

Whether you're both single, or you're both blessed with partners, 

Or one is wed to a guy who doesn't deserve her, 

Push yourself to move on and detach from each other. 

Expect initial distance to taste sour and bitter.

~•~

Have nearly the same stamina as tough weightlifters 

Who stick to strict diets and work out to grow stronger, 

Or female athletes who aspire to become slimmer, 

Avoiding specific foods despite frequent hunger.

~•~

Habitually fast Sunnah fasts to enhance Sabr.

Train yourself to patiently accept Allah's Qadr.

Control your nafs for Allah's sake, obey His Orders,

And know the outcomes of zina should make you shudder.

~•~

Visualize zina as wild dragons emitting fire, 

A golden closet inside of which are sharp daggers, 

Man-eating sharks eager to swallow naive swimmers, 

Or con-artists who trick you with nothing to offer. 

~•~

It's shaytan who decorates sin - that cunning trickster, 

Who adorns abhorrent acts with fake vows and glitter. 

With strong faith and Taqwa, you can conquer his whispers,

Substitute them with thoughts of death, Du'as and Dhikr.

~•~

If after all those battles, your "feelings" still linger, 

And you're "still crushing hard" though you don't see each other, 

Still be Allah's warrior, earn rewards for your Sabr, 

Till you enter Jannah where hearts can never suffer.

~•~

Tips: Signs Of Intuitive People Whose Intuition Comes From Allah The Almighty

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

💌 Seven signs of intuitive people and their intuition (not suspicion nor delusional guesses) is a gift from Allah the Almighty:

1] Numerous times you were able to determine correctly that an event would be cancelled or someone who agreed to meet you at a specific time will most likely cancel their decision. You weren't surprised with the cancellation as though you anticipated it because the people you dealt with have proven themselves to be untrustworthy, or you were able to spot patterns indicating low chances of the meeting occuring.

2] Many of your lucid dreams are so memorable and carry warnings or signs from Allah the Most Wise, some of which later come true. For instance, while I was in Saudi Arabia trying to have my visa renewed, and my husband remained in the Philippines, I saw him in a dream with a strange woman and a baby boy. I woke up feeling anxious about it only to discover after some months or so that I became my husband's first wife and he did have a son with her. Alhamdulillah I'm still very accepting of polygyny.

3] You typically feel as if you're being watched (Of course Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala closely observes us at all times and some of His Angels are assigned to record our actions), as though there are surveillance cameras around, and if somebody tries to display any form of disrespect, you imagine yourself being in a prank show which inspires you to react in a way that you believe is most fair, logical or sensible.

4] Whether you classify yourself as an empath or not, you can easily tell if a person is envious of you, making obnoxious effort to make you feel jealous of them, or deceitfully acting in a manner to provoke you. This causes you to be significantly selective regarding who you socialize with and confide in. 

5] You have the ability to sense people's vibes and identify if their soul's energy is compatible with yours. If you're one of those souls who are ambitiously enthusiastic about attaining Allah's Love and you intensely despise negative qualities such as the tendency to falsely accuse others or envy, you gravitate towards the sincerely pious and authentically confident Muslims that are a minority.

6] Oftentimes you can accurately guess the reasons for some individuals' behavior and misconduct. So-and-so didn't answer your salaam despite you greeting them in an audible voice because their insecure mother ordered them to act like they're ignoring you, a taxi driver without passengers didn't pull over as he already had an appointment or he wasn't entirely sure if you needed transportation, a friend didn't invite you to a gathering with mutual friends either to get back at you for not inviting them to an outing you set up in the past or they assumed you were too busy with other tasks.

7] When you've decided to do something or dismiss a plan because of your gut instinct or intuition which Allah the Most Merciful granted, you have no doubts at all, zero feelings of remorse and guilt afterwards. Hence if you unfriended some users because you could sense they were intentionally disrespectful towards you, you don't bother looking back to reflect, "maybe it's a mistake to disconnect from them". You know with absolute certainty from inside that your choice was the right one, specifically if doing so leads you closer to Allah's Love and your faith/Imaan being strengthened.

I raised my head and the child was upon the Prophet's back while he was prostrating, so I returned to my prostration. When the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam finished the prayer, people said, “O Messenger of Allah, you prostrated at the end of your prayer for a long time, until we thought that something happened or you received a revelation.” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "None of that that happened. Rather, my grandson was riding on my back and I disliked to rush him before he met his needs."

Poem: Maintain Noble Manners Even With Strangers And Former Friends

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

💌 To check if you have actual good character or not, 

Watch how you react when you walk by those who detached 

From your circle and with whom you're no longer in touch.

Will you retain noble manners despite holding grudge?

~•~

If you see those with whom you're no longer in contact, 

Who unfriended you online or whom you cannot trust, 

At a mall, gathering, public place, or in a bus, 

Will you greet them or perform a disappearing act?

~•~

Secrets and intimate details they shared in the past, 

Will you spread them around so your ex-friends are laughed at?

Their weaknesses and problems, will you have them discussed 

Behind their backs with the close friends you currently have?

~•~

Or can you be strong enough to let your ego drop, 

And say salaam to ex-friends though your connections stopped? 

When they sneeze, will you respond as pious Muslims must, 

Or will you ignore them and be morally bankrupt?

~•~

While it's your right to select who to befriend and love, 

Treating people fairly is something you mustn't stop.

Answer greetings, help when you can, have friendly smiles swapped, 

So your good Akhlaaq joins you with those whom Allah loves.

~•~

Poem: Advice To Those Addicted To TikTok And Trending Videos

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

💌 TikTok... As time nowadays ticks away so quickly, 

Many youngsters misuse their faculties and beauty, 

Uploading videos of themselves behaving oddly, 

Feeling as though the world revolves around them only.

~•~

Most of the video clips they upload indirectly 

Train them to love and worship themselves addictively, 

To inflate pride when they feel impeccably pretty, 

And with increased selfies live their lives more selfishly.

~•~

It's fine if they share reminders occasionally, 

Inspirational words and advice generously, 

To uplift and support each other in piety, 

But no, lots of TikTokers promote their looks mainly.

~•~

Most, if not all, TikTok addicts are quite unhappy, 

Filled with self-hatred, self-doubt, susceptible largely 

To competitions that commend intense jealousy, 

Inducing trivial goals and decreasing self-esteem.

~•~

If they were at peace and happy from inside really, 

They'd give some of their happiness with others kindly, 

Reminding Muslims to learn Islam responsibly 

And to serve Allah instead of lost societies.

~•~

If they had confidence and inner strength actually, 

They'd use life lessons to help Muslim communities, 

Defend the weak, inspire those struggling inwardly, 

And invite others to Allah with uplifting speech.

~•~

TikTok... As time nowadays ticks away so quickly, 

If you're a TikTok addict, can you bravely delete 

All your video clips with music so Allah is Pleased 

That you renounced what your nafs wants for Allah Only.

~•~

📖 Abu Udhaynah RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The best of your women are loving, fertile, suitable, and comforting, if they fear Allah. The worst of your women unveil their beauty, take pride in their appearance, and they are hypocrites. None of them will enter Paradise except as rarely as you see a red-beaked crow."
