Poem: Tips To Forget About A Broken Romance Or Someone You Love But Can't Have

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

💌 Five tips to fully detach from someone you once loved, 

To ditch a broken romance and leave it in the past, 

And to forget about an unattainable crush, 

So there's no awkwardness when Allah plans you cross paths,

Or you can move on from the connection you both had:

~•~

One: Admit, affirm and acknowledge you did feel "love", 

Whether your crush still feels the same way or they forgot, 

Don't deny your attraction or it may develop. 

Tell yourself, "I like them, but they're someone I can't have. 

I'll leave them for Allah's sake. I prefer Allah's Love."

~•~

Two: Accept patiently Allah's Destiny/Qadr. 

Understand if it was destined, you'd be together, 

If Allah wanted you as soulmates for each other 

That would've been the case, but it's not, so don't bother. 

Your spousal love is reserved for someone much better.

~•~

Three: Appreciate the spouse whom Allah chose for you, 

If you're married, and let your love always be renewed, 

So you value them with loyalty and gratitude. 

And if you're single, await your turn with fortitude. 

Don't spoil your future with someone unlawful for you.

~•~

Four: In mourning what went by and what was there's no use. 

Tears in the present can't bring back what you had to lose, 

Nostalgic thoughts and wishing that former bonds stayed glued 

Only please your foes and prevent you from happy moods. 

Reflect on the past only if it helps you improve.

~•~

Five: Substitute your worries and dreams that slipped from you 

With trust in Allah, frequent Adhkaar, Du'as, Sujood, 

And acceptance that what Allah gives is best for you.

Allow heartbreaks to wash away sins you used to do 

And know to Allah's tests there's no human who's immune.

~•~

May Allah the Most Kind and Merciful calm your heart, 

And guide you to patiently moving on from the past. 

Ameen. Take note, when you're among those whom Allah loves, 

Allah may test your faith with souls that deeply attract. 

Be tougher than your nafs. Always prefer Allah's Love.

~•~

📖 Ibn Abbas RadhiAllahu 'anhuma narrated: I was riding behind the Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam when he said to me, "Young man, I will teach you some words. Be mindful of Allah and He will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find Him before you. If you ask, ask from Allah. If you seek help, seek help from Allah. Know that if the nations gathered together to benefit you, they will not benefit you unless Allah has decreed it for you. And if the nations gathered together to harm you, they will not harm you unless Allah has decreed it for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried."

Poem: Five Tips To Cope With Social Anxiety

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

💌 Five tips to cope better with social anxiety, 

Or social phobia, when you feel scared excessively 

Of socializing or being judged negatively, 

Feeling like people are always staring intently, 

Mostly unable to rest due to fears and worries:

~•~

One: As His servant, fear Only Allah Almighty 

Who controls all things, including Qadr/Destiny. 

Don't let your fear of people's judgment and enmity 

Stop you from serving Allah and striving to succeed. 

Concern with people's views mustn't become blasphemy.

~•~

Two: People care more about themselves generally. 

So while at times you wonder, "What do they think of me? 

Am I presentable? Did I behave decently?", 

Some question their choices or conduct similarly. 

Why impress humans who are not perfect entirely?

~•~

Three: Say the morning and evening Adhkaar frequently. 

A stable connection with Allah can guarantee 

Stronger levels of faith/Imaan, healthy self-esteem 

So you don't deem yourself unhappy or unworthy, 

And you seek Allah's Love, not fellow slaves' flattery.

~•~

Four: Understand if you cancel an activity, 

Like asking questions during class for more clarity 

Or correcting someone's mistake done innocently, 

All because of shyness, you miss out abundantly 

On the rewards of kindness and enjoining good deeds.

~•~

Five: Negative thoughts such as, "Shut up, you're nobody. 

Don't bother talking. You'll sound nervous, unclear and weird.

Keep pretending to be busy, so they won't come near." 

Stem from our enemy shaytan who wants us to fear 

Other creations to commit shirk indirectly.

~•~

Fear just Allah Who made us, grants guidance and can shield, 

Our Creator Allah Who owns all worlds, skies and seas. 

When you feel anxious around a strict boss, skilled colleagues, 

Or someone who displays more outstanding qualities, 

Calmly breathe and tell yourself, "Allah is Greater. HasbunAllah wa Ne'm Al-Wakeel.".

~•~

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah’s noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah 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 wills." Verily, the phrase 'if only' opens the way for the work of shaytan."

Grade: Sahih (Authentic) according to Muslim

📖 Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Whoever among you sees evil, let him change it with his hand (by stopping it physically). If he is unable to do so, then with his tongue (verbally, by warning or speaking against that wrongdoing). If he is unable to do so, then with his heart (by at least hating the sin instead of admiring the wrongdoers), and that is the weakest level of faith."

Poem: Da'wah Is To Kindly Invite Others To Allah's Call, Not To Force Anyone To Believe.

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

💌 To fellow Muslims with loved ones whom they care about, 

To those who've got friends who do things that are disallowed, 

Who try to advise others in writing and aloud: 

We can't force people to reform, if they turn around, 

If they choose to go astray, or of their faults they're proud.

~•~

Allah the Almighty is the One With full control.

Allah is the One Who guides whom He Wills from the souls.

Our duty is to invite others to Allah's Call. 

The noble task of Da'wah is to share and inform, 

Remind, warn and educate, not to chain nor enforce.

~•~

Those friends who don't wear hijab, male relatives who smoke, 

Nieces who model and post selfies with shameless clothes, 

Nephews with girlfriends who upload indecent videos, 

Acquaintances who scam and grab items they don't own, 

And others who sin - to fix themselves they can't be forced.

~•~

Those persons who pray only when they feel like praying, 

Who while others pray Tahajjud they're out nightclubbing, 

Those who believe there's no problem with celebrating 

The so-called 'mawlid' or friends' birthday celebrations, 

And others who don't know - you can't stop their ignorance.

~•~

No matter how loud you shout to save some from falling 

Into a pit of lava, they won't pay attention 

If they're deaf, blindfolded, and don't know where they're going, 

And if Allah doesn't want to grant them His Guidance,

Or if they're immersed in shaytan's traps and temptations.

~•~

You can't convince someone if they're stuck in misguidance, 

Can't enlighten nor teach if they're jealously threatened, 

And if they see no issue in how they're behaving. 

All you can do is give advice, be understanding, 

Or offer tips if they're humble enough to listen.

~•~

Also pray for them. Don't quit, if you truly love them.

Set a good example as well, and be consistent. 

Avoid acting in ways that may arouse confusion.

Once you've enjoined right and forbade wrong, as a Muslim, 

Continue serving Allah Who knows when to guide them.

~•~

Poem: To Each Muslimah Who's Currently Single

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

💌 Dear Muslimah, currently single, trying her best 

To pass, with patience, all of Allah's challenging tests, 

In striving to obey Allah through staying modest, 

Honoring her parents with care, Du'as, and respect, 

And ensuring that Allah's Laws she never neglects:

~•~

With Allah's Love and Guidance, you're doing well. Don't quit. 

Preserve chastity. Avoid zina without regret. 

See, that's how strong you are, whenever you feel tempted 

To stray from Allah and try what He prohibited, 

With Taqwa, you restrain and have your nafs defeated.

~•~

For controlling your desires and gaze with fierce courage 

And avoiding what's haraam though your heart may want it, 

With Allah's Will, in both worlds you'll be much rewarded. 

You show you're brave when you leave what keeps you distracted, 

Fleeing to Allah to keep your faith/Imaan shielded.

~•~

Like a warrior in combat, with Taqwa you're equipped, 

Guided by Allah, you can fight what shaytan suggests. 

Despite many being in haraam relationships, 

You're tough enough to patiently wait for your marriage, 

Aware your journey to Jannah isn't over yet.

~•~

So persevere dear striving Muslimah. Every test 

From Allah is given as He knows you can pass it. 

By surrounding fitna and whims of the misguided 

From your goal to reach Jannah don't be deviated. 

Strive for Allah. Know sincere efforts are not wasted.

~•~

When that special event arrives, when you get married 

To the man whom Allah the Most Loving selected 

As your soulmate, and you are each other's destined gifts, 

You'll realize what it feels like to be romantic, 

Protective and loyal to your spouse whom you cherish.

~•~

Meanwhile, remain patient, knowing Allah always gives 

Not necessarily what you like but what your soul needs. 

Continue praying to Allah that He grants what's best  

And He guides you throughout life so you can pass His tests. 

Hearts that serve just Allah are free from aches and distress.

~•~

📖 Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "O young men, if you are able to support a wife, get married.

Poem: Allah The Almighty Always Sees Us, We're Never "Alone".

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

💌 It's a lie to claim you're "alone". In reality, 

You're not alone. Allah is the Most Near, Al-Qareeb, 

As-Samee' Who hears your inner voice and words you speak, 

Al-'Aleem Who knows your feelings and what you conceal, 

And Al-Baseer Who always sees your state and your deeds.

~•~

We're not alone. We have Allah, and there are Angels 

Nearby ready to record actions intentional, 

Assigned to list our acts, to Allah they're dutiful, 

While other Angels of Mercy pray that we're careful 

To avoid displeasing Allah so we're successful.

~•~

We're not alone. We have Allah, while jinns do exist. 

There are Muslim jinns, wicked jinns, other jinns with kids. 

Similar to humans, Allah made them to worship 

And serve Allah without harming what He created. 

As you read the Qur'an, some jinns learn from the verses.

~•~

We're not alone. We have Allah, and on earth somewhere 

Are souls who, from where they are, join us to say Dhikr, 

Praying Tahajjud, asking Allah for more Sabr, 

To do good deeds for Allah's sake, like us they're eager. 

If Allah Wills, someday we'll meet in Jannah up there.

~•~

We're not alone. Allah is with us, and there are books 

That we can study so Islam is more understood. 

When our faith in Allah is strong and when we're secure 

With ourselves, we won't require people to reassure 

We're never alone. Allah is always there, for sure.

~•~
