Poem: Avoid Unjust Assumption And Suspicion

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 It's easy to instantly assume that someone's post 
Is an insult aimed at you, but little do you know 
They're going through tough times offline which they cannot show. 
Perhaps their notes are not for you but clients who owe 
Them huge debts and that's how their disappointment is shown.
~•~
Friends who flaunt their contentment in marriage may feel low 
When the husband isn't around or he's far from home.
Their frequent display of love could be their way to cope 
With the husband's absence or with polygyny's woes.
Wanting you to envy their love life isn't their goal.
~•~
Loved ones who make you feel as though you're being ignored 
Aren't snubbing you with pride because by them you're loathed.
Likely they have tons of tasks they need to focus on, 
Many of your posts to them aren't relatable, 
Or they like you, but in haraam love they'd hate to fall.
~•~
People who can't give you proper eye contact at all?
It's not that you look awful, but by you they're enthralled.
By forbidden feelings they don't wish to be controlled.
Or that's how they respect you. It's not really your fault 
If they're shy or their morals don't equal yours at all.
~•~
It's simple to quickly guess that someone's thoughts or words 
Are threatening to our lifestyles, confidence and goals.
It takes loads of patience and trust in Allah to know 
That people's acts often disclose their beliefs, self-worth, 
And tests in this world. So don't misjudge with your ego.
~•~
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the most false of tales. Do not seek out faults, do not spy on each other, do not contend with each other, do not envy each other, do not hate each other, and do not turn away from each other. Rather, be servants of Allah as brothers."

Poem: Genuine Love Is In Getting Married For Allah's Sake, Not In Casual Flings

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 
💌 Genuine love for Allah's sake is unlike lusting -
As true love is learned after lawfully marrying,
While lust goes after looks which closed minds find appealing,
Tempting glances, temporal flings, and shameful tension.
~•~
No blessings can be found in forbidden relations,
Whether male and female, or amongst men or women, 
Depression, fear and guilt are the outcomes of sinning,
Apart from the pleasures that are seldom long-lasting.
~•~
Instead of earning Allah's Wrath through haraam flirting,
Wait for lawful marriage life and do what pleases Him. 
Lower your gaze, let your voice and actions be decent.
The one you can flirt with is your wedded wife/husband.
~•~
Love isn't just kissing and touching your lover's skin -
But loving your soulmate for who they are from within,
Accepting Allah's choice in choosing your companion 
To journey with you to Jannah, through every moment.
~•~
Together you and your other half can solve problems,
Whether near or distant, you're glued by shared emotions,
Connected through mutual missing and understanding,
Strengthening affection with constant supplications.
~•~
When it comes to real love, heartbreaks can rarely happen,
As love goes on in Jannah if love comes with patience.
Lust yearns for temporary sexual satisfaction,
Whereas true love lasts long despite some imperfections.
~•~
There's Barakah in marriage, an act of obedience,
When both spouses get married with the right intentions -
To marry for Allah, and to raise righteous children,
To pass Allah's tests, striving to be a good Muslim.
~•~

Poem: Three Instances When It's Wiser To Ignore Someone

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Three instances when it's wiser to ignore someone, 
Since granting them attention disturbs your well-being, 
Their toxic friendship isn't worthy of maintaining, 
Or their huge pride prevents them from even listening:
~•~
One: They misbehave on purpose for your reaction. 
If some mess around to see you feeling unpleasant, 
Like cowardly rant online on how you're "arrogant", 
Ignore them for Allah. Don't give sad clowns what they want.
~•~
Two: When the insecure try to make you envy them, 
And seeing you get jealous is their main intention, 
Avert your gaze and reflect on things more important. 
Don't stare at things that make you forget Allah's blessings.
~•~
Three: Toxic people obsessed with childish gossiping,
Who enjoy gaining Muslims' sins are worth ignoring.
No need to analyze their nonsensical statements. 
Their lies imply they're jelly of those they're discussing.
~•~
There's peace in shunning the morally incompetent, 
Whose presence can't help you in faith and self-improvement.
Avoid them for Allah and move on with contentment.
Let the bashers and trolls talk to their own ignorance.
~•~
📖 Ali Ibn Husayn RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, part of perfection in Islam is for a person to leave what does not concern him."

Poem: Ways To Describe Most INTJ Personality Types

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Some things most INTJs may find relatable, 
Not to brag but shed light so we're understandable:
We prefer to be fair and true than agreeable. 
Our confidence is misconstrued as being "prideful" 
When we're focused on goals or trying to be helpful.
~•~
Since we trust Allah the Almighty, not most people, 
Others' words and opinions aren't always factual. 
While we're stereotypically thick-skinned and logical,
People's vibes we can sense and strong emotions we feel, 
Which is why when it comes to choosing friends we're careful.
~•~
We're dreamers and planners yet we know Allah controls 
And has power over all in this temporal world.
As Allah's servants aware He's the Most Powerful,
Muslim INTJs find "arrogant" quite hurtful. 
We're offended by injustice and thoughts untruthful.
~•~
Our eagerness to complete tasks that are feasible,
Passion to fulfill duties which to us are worthwhile, 
And disinterest in dialogues that are futile 
Could be reasons why most can't regard us as "humble".
Still we're unfazed by critics' slurs and disapproval.
~•~
Our soft side is reserved for the few we deem special.
Towards them we're lenient, empathetic and gentle, 
Supportive, patient with their flaws and fiercely loyal. 
Other traits which for INTJs are suitable: 
Teachable, determined and selectively social.
~•~
Alhamdulillah.

Rather say: "Allah has decreed what He wills." Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of shaytan."

Tips: Ways To Detect Jealous People Despite Their Denial Of Their Jealousy

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 It's usually easy to tell who from your acquaintances is genuinely happy for your achievements, and who among them may secretly harbour intense jealousy, even though they may fake a forced smile when interacting with you personally.
🔍 Subtle signs of envious individuals:
• You're friends on social media but they seldom react to your posts, although ironically they're one of the silent lurkers who make sure they read every one of your status updates. 
• You're not friends on facebook but they stalk your status updates so enthusiastically, while reading the information you share with furious resentment, wondering why you get to enjoy life or utilize your talents when they're unaware of your hard work, sincere intention or circumstances offline.
• They assume almost everything you do are meant for seeking attention. You post a status update about how an Islamic event went well to inspire others to do Da'wah? You're "showing off." You share some Ahadith or Islamic quotes that can motivate other Muslims and Muslimahs? You're "just acting smart". You post a descriptive review of how your dining experience was at a halal restaurant to promote it, so Muslim communities could support one another? "Riyaa". You walk, you speak, you breathe, inhale and exhale... "you're showing off." People who are "jelly" literally want you to shut up because your contributions, efforts to assist others or good qualities remind them of their lacking, thereby feeling guilty or angrily jealous inside.
Real comrades and supporters on the other hand are grateful to Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala for the different blessings He bestowed upon them. Because they're content with what they already have and they're confident, they don't question Allah the Almighty why He granted you certain skills (whether you're good at calligraphy, delivering Islamic lectures, poetry, spoken word, coaching, advising, parenting, cooking, managing a business etc.) nor do they feel threatened by the unique opportunities that Allah gave you.
As Muslims Alhamdulillah we must accept Allah's Qadr/Destiny patiently, being pleased with what He has given to us and avoid complaining about what He chose to offer His servants.
Allah the Most Wise gave us unique traits and skills, so we can learn from each other. If there's anyone worthy of competing against, it's the reflection we see in the mirror. Sincerely strive to be better than who you were before, and appreciate every gift that Allah is testing you with, without envying the examinations of others.

Then, the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said to me:
"Young man, that is my Sunnah. Whoever revives my Sunnah has loved me, and whoever loves me will be with me in Paradise."
