Poem: We Can't Force People To Believe What's Right. Only Allah The Most Wise Guides Whom He Wills.

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

💌 'Umar ibn Al-Khattab, Khalid bin Al-Waleed, 

Abu Sufyan bin Harb, Hind bint 'Utbah, and Wahshi 

Were from those who openly fought and showed enmity 

To Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) and the Muslims previously 

Until Allah guided them, saved them from disbelief. 

~•~

Abu Talib who took care of Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) for years, 

The son of Nuh ('alaihis salaam), Aazar the father of Ibraheem ('alaihis salaam), 

Wife of Lut ('alaihis salaam), Ibn Salul known for hypocrisy, 

And fir'awn, spouse of Aasiyah ('alaihas salaam), guilty of tyranny 

Stayed astray - Far from Allah's Guidance, Light and Mercy. 

~•~

No matter how eager you advise some families, 

Begging Allah to guide your loved ones persistently, 

Mentioning their names in Du'as dedicatedly, 

They won't be guided, of your advice they can't take heed, 

If their sticking to falsehood is by Allah decreed.

~•~

Don't worry. When you do Da'wah for Allah bravely, 

And your invites to the truth are declined frequently, 

Be grateful for Allah's Guidance and that you at least 

Did your best to remind, correct wrongs, enjoin good deeds, 

And called your relatives to Allah responsibly.

~•~

Only Allah the Almighty can decide wisely 

Who among His creation deserve Jannah's entry. 

Enjoining right and forbidding wrong is your duty. 

Granting enlightenment is done by Allah Only 

Who controls all people's hearts and Qadr/Destiny.

~•~

Poem: Allah The Most Wise Hears Our Du'as And Knows When To Answer At The Best Time

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

💌 Even if a baby cried for a bottle of milk, 

You wouldn't grant them their request if you clearly felt 

The drink is still too hot and it's not drinkable yet, 

So they'd have to wait for the milk's temperature to drop, 

As giving it too soon can hurt the infant a lot. 

~•~

No matter how loud a toddler weeps for a cactus, 

You'd keep the spiky plant away so they're protected. 

You'd give them an item different from what they asked, 

A toy that's softer and safer for them to play with. 

Your act of preventing is because of care and love.

~•~

Regardless of how loudly your son cries day and night, 

Begging you for a car when he's still too young to drive, 

You wouldn't give in to his earnest pleas and desires 

Until he's older and he's no longer a small child. 

You provide his wants not when he likes but when it's wise.

~•~

When saying Du'a and asking Allah for our needs, 

We need to be patient, have the strength to wait humbly, 

Trust in Allah's Might to respond only when He sees 

That what we beg for won't bring harm to our well-being, 

Or He'll bestow if it's absolute necessity.

~•~

In Ramadan and in every instant you're alive, 

To cry to Allah while saying Du'as don't be shy. 

Don't guess you were unheard if your wish didn't arrive, 

As Allah hears everyone well and He the Most Wise 

Answers at the best time and has favors more worthwhile.

~•~

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Every one of you will have his supplications answered, as long as he is not impatient and says: 'I have supplicated but I was not answered.'"

In another narration, the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The servant will continue to have his supplications answered as long as he does not ask for sin or cutting family ties and he is not impatient." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is its impatience?" The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "He says: 'I have supplicated again and again, but I have not seen an answer.' He becomes frustrated with that and gives up supplicating."

Poem: Be Contented Knowing That Dunya Is Temporary And Our Actual Home Is Jannah Paradise

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

💌 Reassuring those who reside in simple houses, 

Those whose residence can't be described as "luxurious", 

Those who don't have fixed homes and where they rest are rented, 

Those who sleep in small rooms on overused mattresses, 

And who aren't rich: Jannah's our home. Be contented.

~•~

Accept what Allah chose to give. With Islam we're blessed. 

Poverty or meager means may be from Allah's tests. 

Recall how Allah's noble Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) lived, 

Content with sleeping on the floor, on a rough mattress, 

Satisfied with a lifestyle that isn't so lavish.

~•~

Those whom Allah granted wealth, who stay in mansions big, 

Whose dwellings cost thousands with lounges richly furnished, 

Aren't worth admiring if they're not rightly guided, 

If they don't cleanse their money by being generous, 

And if richness won't benefit them when they're buried.

~•~

Spacious abodes on earth and swimming pools are useless 

On Judgment Day when we'll be asked about what we did. 

We won't be questioned on fancy things we collected 

Nor how many guests did one's luxury home impressed, 

But how we served Allah with Imaan and deeds righteous. 

~•~

Alhamdulillah for the countless gifts Allah gives, 

Like guidance to Islam and 'Aqeedah that's correct, 

Chances to do Tawbah and please Allah through kindness, 

Awareness, not known to most, that dunya is short-lived, 

And in Jannah Paradise is neverending bliss.

~•~

📖 Umar Ibn Al-Khattab RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: I entered the room of the Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam while he was lying on his side over a mat. I sat down as he drew up his lower garment and he was not wearing anything else. The mat had left marks on his side. I looked at the Prophet’s cupboard and I saw a handful of barely in a small amount, the same of mimosa leaves in the corner, and a leather bag hanging to the side. My eyes started to tear up, and the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "What makes you weep, son of Khattab?" I said, “O Prophet of Allah, why should I not cry that this mat has left marks on your side and I see little in this cupboard? Caesar and Khosrau live among fruits and springs, while you are the Messenger of Allah and His chosen one, yet this is your cupboard.” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "O son of Khattab, are you not pleased that ours is the Hereafter and for them is the world?" I said, “Of course.”

The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam repeated this three times, then he said, "Wealth is in the heart and poverty is in the heart. Whoever is wealthy in his heart will not be harmed no matter what happens in the world. Whoever is impoverished in his heart will not be satisfied no matter how much he has in the world. Verily, he will only be harmed by the greed of his own soul."

Poem: Five Signs You're A Muslim Empath Who, With Allah's Will, Can Sense People's Feelings

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

💌 Five signs you're a Muslim empath even if you're a 

Thinking MBTI type like an INTJ, 

Who values mercy, loves and hates just for Allah's sake, 

Who's gifted with intuition, peaceful inner state, 

And who knows Allah's Justice ultimately prevails:

~•~

One: You can sense how someone's feeling, despite their face 

And body language say something besides what's portrayed. 

You'll defend if they feel ashamed. If mad, you'll give space. 

If they're sad, you absorb their aches and alleviate 

With comforting words, advice, or warm loving embrace. 

~•~

Two: Secondhand embarrassment is something you hate. 

Seeing others fall or make mistakes can't entertain. 

When some are bullied or treated in an unfair way, 

To help and bravely back them up you don't hesitate. 

At fixing awkward moments you're from those who are trained.

~•~

Three: Fake, rude and toxic people you repudiate. 

By fakery and gossip you get easily drained.

Solitude, away from bad vibes, you appreciate.

Mean critics mocking others' flaws you can't tolerate, 

And to those who lack nice manners you don't gravitate.

~•~

Four: Often you shed tears when you read the Qur'an, pray, 

Supplicate, say Du'a, while mentioning loved ones' names, 

Indicating your soul is pure, free from filthy traits,

Such as envying others' blessings which Allah gave, 

Doubting Muslims' niyyah and foul thoughts one formulates.

~•~

Five: Long-term grudge and hurt pride in your heart don't remain. 

For a Muslim's apologies you don't need to wait. 

Saying the salaam you usually initiate, 

And you're kind not so your favors are returned someday 

But seeking Allah's Love through kindness is from your aims.

~•~

Take note that not all empaths are precisely the same. 

Some are more sensitive than others, others more tamed, 

And others practice empathy in logical ways. 

So Allah loves you more, be merciful with His slaves, 

Aware that good character is heavy on the Scales.

~•~

📖 Abu Darda RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Nothing is heavier upon the scale of a believer on the Day of Resurrection than his good character. Verily, Allah hates the vulgar and obscene person (prone to wicked conduct and vile speech such as knowingly telling lies, backbiting, spreading rumors)."

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."
