Poem: To Stay Married And In Love, Love Your Husband For Allah's Sake And Don't Quit Easily.

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

💌 Like dunya, marriage is a test. There'll be ups and downs, 

Good times, tough times, moments when you laugh followed by frowns, 

Challenges with different kinds of fitna around. 

Numbers quickly quit if their faith isn't firm and sound, 

If pleasing Allah isn't what their love is about.

~•~

Marriage isn't for the weak, who easily give up 

On the human whom Allah chose as their other half.

Marriage isn't for the faint-hearted, not tough enough 

To go on when sweet episodes temporarily stop

Or when their spouse shows their imperfections they get shocked.

~•~

You married a human, not an android, you forgot? 

Like you, your husband gets tired oftentimes and fed up 

When overworked and overwhelmed, like metals can rust.

Like some maintain blades by sharpening them on and off, 

To stay married, persistence and patience are a must.

~•~

Don't let shaytan win each time he suggests, "Just give up. 

Your man doesn't love you. He's negligent and too rough." 

Seek refuge in Allah from shaytan's plots. Don't give up. 

True love for Allah's sake with time only develops 

You and your spouse as Muslims - it's not easily stopped.

~•~

Not condoning actual abuse nor guys who do drugs, 

I'm advising fellow wives to persevere, stay tough, 

And when the husband displays harshness or misconduct 

To patiently forgive him, mention him in Du'as, 

And to await Allah's rewards in Jannah above.

~•~

Poem: Sample Letter Or Message Which You May Give To Unattainable "Crushes"

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

💌 A sample letter from a soul 'in love' to the one admired,

To soothe heartbroken souls, and so some lessons can be derived:

"Dear 'crush', the secret recipient of my heart's wrongful desires,

I would like to wholeheartedly explain and apologize

Why I exhibit rudeness when I can't look you in the eye.

~•~

Whether you've been told this before or not yet, I wish to say

That I find you appealing and special in all sorts of ways.

You give me the feelings of being delighted and amazed,

Nervous in your presence, down and nostalgic when you're away.

Although you look incredible, I choose to lower my gaze.

~•~

Thoughts of being your lover are among the battles I fight,

Wondering what you taste like, while resisting at the same time,

Has led me feeling ashamed of sensations I try to hide.

On some days I strive to fast, then resort to crying at night,

Begging Allah to forgive the emotions I keep inside.

~•~ 

I never chose to have these feelings nor like you in that way.

If I could do anything, I'd want to go numb any day,

Devoid of being magnetized by your captivating face,

Or return to the past like a time machine and click replay,

To avoid future heartbreaks, how we first met would be erased.

~•~

But I got no superpowers apart from faith and insight,

Guidance from Allah the Most Wise Who shows me what's wrong and right.

Since zina is a major sin, I want it out of my sight.

Thus I control my glances to remain chaste, with Allah's Light,

Praying that Allah protects you and me from evils and crimes.

~•~

I'm sorry I left your text on 'seen' mode and you had to wait.

I had to end our sinful chats and quit playing shaytan's games.

Every message you sent me and each moment I read your name

Made my body shake with arousal but with abundant shame,

So I've decided to walk away from you for Allah's sake.

~•~

Please don't assume I hate you; you're a sweetheart I really like.

Nonetheless my love for Allah outweighs this dunya's desires.

Though we're not close anymore, you're in my Du'as day and night.

Let's distance ourselves from each other till we reach Paradise,

Where we can meet Allah and receive whatever we desire."

~•~

📖 Abu Qatadah RadhiAllahu anhu narrated that Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, you will never leave anything for the sake of Allah the Almighty but that Allah will replace it with something better."

Poem: The Secret To Feeling Indifferent When Some Users Unfriend You

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

💌 A secret to indifference and feeling unfazed, 

Unruffled and unaffected when "friends" go away, 

Or when users unfriend you and you're like, "Fine. Okay. 

You can leave if you want. No one's forcing you to stay." 

Is to live solely for Allah and trust Him always.

~•~

That's your secret - that's how you somehow intimidate 

Dark souls and jealous hearts that clash with your steadfast faith. 

For their freedom and choice to detach yourself don't blame. 

Your confidence or love for Allah brings them dismay, 

Or they unfriended simply because they can't relate.

~•~

You're not an umbilical cord. They're not a fetus. 

You're not a tree. They're not monkeys that hang on branches.

You're not a seatbelt. They're not drivers that are careless. 

You're not a bee. They're not beehives, hence they're not needed. 

When some ditch you, visualize them as detached leeches.

~•~

If for years you survived without them, you can do this. 

They don't pay your bills nor breastfeed or keep you nourished. 

In fact, it's a blessing that they left if they're toxic. 

No more tolerating their nonsense, lies and gossip. 

Their disappearance means you're no longer distracted.

~•~

Alhamdulillah Allah got rid of the wicked 

Who were bad for us and undervalued our kindness, 

Or whose presence in our present is problematic.

As we gladly move on, let them manage without us. 

There's no loss, so long as I'm from those whom Allah loves.

~•~

Poem: Three Tips To Stay Contented With Your Husband And To Not Compare Him To Other Men

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

💌 Three tips and kind reminders, to myself including, 

On how to not compare other men to your husband, 

To not feel less when friends marry men much more handsome, 

Taller than your soulmate, or they earn larger income, 

Or the groom's ethnic background makes their love exciting:

~•~

One: Accept the man whom Allah has wisely chosen 

As your other half, soulmate and travel companion. 

How you met and married were all by Allah destined. 

In connecting you together there's always wisdom - 

Patiently be content with Allah's wise selection.

~•~

Two: Love that your man's unique, not a clone of someone. 

Don't size him up according to others' measurement, 

Standards, preference and different expectations. 

Loving each other for Allah is what's important. 

No need for him to be "perfect" for you to love him.

~•~

Three: The firmer your faith, the stronger your acceptance, 

The more you welcome Allah's Qadr with contentment, 

And the less you're prone to envying others' blessings.

Since you know your love story was by Allah written, 

Your husband's looks and traits you embrace without question.

~•~

Dates, bananas and honey differ in appearance, 

But they're alike in the sense they taste sweet and pleasant. 

Let your friends love their soulmates, while you love your husband. 

Stay grateful to Allah, thrive with Imaan and patience,

And cleanse your heart so it's not stained by comparison.

~•~

Rather, be servants of Allah as brothers. The Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. He does not wrong him, nor humiliate him, nor look down upon him. Righteousness is here," and he SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam pointed to his chest three times. The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "It is enough evil for a man to look down upon his Muslim brother. The entirety of the Muslim is sacred (inviolable) to another Muslim: His life, his wealth, and his reputation (his honor)."

Poem: Allah The Almighty Controls All Things Including Destiny, So Don't Regret Nor Cry "If Only"

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

💌 If only those folks didn't post those status updates 

That seemed passive-aggressive, filled with envy and hate, 

I wouldn't have unfriended them, and they would've stayed 

As potential friends, but Allah willed they'd go away.

~•~

If only they answered my messages earlier, 

Proved they were reliable, good advice they offered, 

And talked more often, our friendship would've been longer, 

But Allah detached us. We're back to being strangers.

~•~

If only I was more open to my ex-best friend 

And canceled all the actions that led to arguments, 

We'd still be talking by now and analyzing dreams, 

But Allah willed she'd leave while I'd confide in just Him.

~•~

If only I didn't rush, and took more time thinking 

About that task's likely outcomes before reacting, 

And if I researched carefully before deciding, 

The fees wouldn't have been wasted, but I learned something.

~•~

If only I was present at that fam reunion 

And shared my thoughts in a manner that's more appealing, 

Many of them and I'd still be communicating, 

But I tried, and Allah knows there's a better timing.

~•~

If only this and that behaved much more decently, 

Never made taboo gestures and lousy emojis, 

I'd be willing to befriend them, and we'd chat daily, 

But Allah kept them distant, as they're not good for me.

~•~

When regret and thoughts that start with "If only..." pass by, 

I recall we're just servants of Allah the Most Wise 

Who controls all things in, above and beneath the skies.

What take place on earth are what Allah decrees and likes.

~•~

We can't always grasp why certain incidents occur, 

As we're humans who often forget, misjudge and err. 

As Muslims we trust Allah, with Sabr and Shukr,

Believing in the truth that Allah controls Qadr.

~•~

Feeling remorseful in dunya isn't as intense 

As everlasting regret of Allah's opponents 

Who in the afterlife would wish to have worshipped Him.

In our trust and belief in Allah let's be constant.

~•~

📖 Suhayb RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Amazing is the affair of the believer, as there is good for him in every matter. This is not the case for anyone but for the believer. If he goes through ease (or happy moments), he thanks Allah and it is good for him. If he goes through difficulty, he shows patience and it is good for him."

A man is put to trial according to his Deen/religion. If he is firm in his religion, his trials will be more severe. If he is weak in his religion, he is put to trial according to his strength in religion. The servant will continue to be put to trial until he is left walking upon the earth without any sin."
