Poem: Dear Muslim Kids Who've Been Orphaned Recently

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

💌 Some words to comfort kids who've been orphaned recently, 

Who lost their dear mom and/or dad, with Allah's Decree: 

Dear child, shed tears as much as you like, yet patiently 

Accept Allah's Qadr, death is a reality, 

And every soul's lifespan is fixed and temporary. 

~•~

Know that your late parents wouldn't want you to worry 

About them if they're from those with whom Allah is Pleased. 

If they were pious, they're in a better place, believe, 

And pray to Allah for their well-being frequently. 

Aspire to reunite in Jannah eventually.

~•~

Stay tough for Allah, and note that occasionally 

Seeing children with their parents may prompt you to weep, 

If you recall your mom's hugs which she would lovingly 

Give, while missing your dad's care prevents you from sound sleep. 

Each time you miss them, pray for them to achieve relief. 

~•~

Don't feel bad that they didn't live long enough to see 

You graduate, get married, or complete your studies. 

Take heed, the Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) in his younger years 

Lived without a mom's compassion and dad's empathy. 

You can thrive in both worlds with Allah's Love and Mercy. 

~•~ 

To survive in dunya and pass Allah's tests rightly, 

Even without your dear parents, friends and family, 

Study Islam through right sources, regularly read, 

And trust Only Allah, as you strive to do good deeds.

Pray you'll meet your parents in Jannah eventually. 

~•~

Poem: Include Your Parents In Your Du'as.

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 To Muslims worldwide whose parents have just died,
Who lost a parent, their mom, their dad, or two –
As well as those who never saw their parents,
Losing a parent isn't easy, it's true.
~•~
Not a day goes by without me recalling
Sweet memories of my life spent with my folks.
Each time I speak to Allah I remember
My parents, and warm tears would begin to flow.
~•~

I miss the great dishes my dear Mom would cook,
And clothes she creatively sew now and then.
I miss my Dad’s speeches and wise advice, and
His wonderful car drives. I miss both of them.
~•~
Delivering their food as they reached old age,
Washing their clothes when I could – I miss that too.
I miss obeying them whilst they were alive,
Exchanging hugs, and telling them, “I love you.”
~•~
Allah took them by His Mercy, they’re gone now
But the good things I've learned from them still remain.
To continue loving them: I’ll share their words,
Often praying Allah forgives their mistakes,
~•~
Do charity, when I can, on their behalf,
 And treat well their relatives and friends they love.
Frequently I'll mention them in my Du'as,
‘Till we meet again, next to Allah above.
~•~
I’ve learned how to sympathize with orphans more,
Ever since my loving parents passed away.
Tears of various feelings flow more than before,
With Allah’s Kindness, to have all sins erased.
~•~
"Why must we struggle?" In case you're wondering,
Dunya is a platform of all kinds of tests.
Some problems train patience, others teach lessons,
And most lead to repentance or humbleness.
~•~
True peace and happiness are found in Heaven,
For Allah’s friends who worship Him sincerely.
Be with those whom Allah loves. Stick to Islam,
Even if the believers aren't many.
~•~
To those whose folks are living – you're fortunate,
And those left with one parent, you are blessed too.
Take care of them, help them do good deeds, give them
 More love, before Allah Wills that they leave you. 
~•~

May Allah Almighty forgive all our sins,
Accept all our good deeds, and reunite us –
May Allah unite us with our loved ones in
Jannatul Firdaus, amongst friends Allah loves.
Ameen.
~•~

Note: On Fearing Only Allah The Almighty While Having An Intimidating Personality

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

💌 Three signs that you're close to Allah the Almighty and you have a good soul despite being viewed by some people as "intimidating": 

1] You continue doing deeds which you believe can please Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, even if a number of individuals seem weirded out by your stubbornness, perseverance, and resilience. People's mockery, disapproval, and criticism don't bother you at all, which is why those with low self-confidence find you very "intimidating" or describe you as "unapproachable". 

2] Generally it's easier for you to interact with most animals, cats, birds, young children, nephews, nieces, and infants, yet when it comes to certain adults who are around your age or older, you may struggle to connect if they are jealously threatened by you or being too different from them triggers disharmony. 

3] With Allah's Love and Support, you're capable of waking up regularly to pray Tahajjud / Qiyaam Al-Layl and you're granted access to authentic Islamic knowledge, regardless of how many fans and stalkers you have. 

While Allah the Most Wise can grant wealth to anybody whom He chooses, He Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala generously bestows Islam, wisdom, and guidance only upon the special few whom He loves. 

The unwavering faith/Imaan, Taqwa, and strong personality of 'Umar ibn Al-Khattaab RadhiAllahu 'anhu are what caused shaytan to be afraid of him. Before you wonder if Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala likes you or not because some souls are terrified of approaching you, understand that not all rejected items or individuals are avoided due to their insignificant value, but whoever dismissed them probably rejected them as they couldn't afford them, the darkness they may be carrying can't handle bright vibes, or their souls are too glued to dunya's fleeting joys that they don't want to be near anyone who reminds them to focus on better alternatives in Jannah Paradise.

📖 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 were to gather 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."

📖 Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: 'Umar bin Al-Khattab RadhiAllahu 'anhu asked the permission of Allah's Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam to see him while some Quraishi women were sitting with him, talking to him and asking him for more expenses, raising their voices above the voice of Allah's Messenger SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam. When 'Umar RadhiAllahu 'anhu asked for the permission to enter, the women quickly put on their veils. Allah's Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam allowed him to enter and 'Umar RadhiAllahu 'anhu came in while Allah's Messenger SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam was smiling, 'Umar RadhiAllahu 'anhu said, "O Allah's Messenger! May Allah always keep you smiling." The Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "These women who have been here, roused my wonder, for as soon as they heard your voice, they quickly put on their veils." 'Umar RadhiAllahu 'anhu said, "O Allah's Messenger (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam)! You have more right to be feared by them than I." Then 'Umar RadhiAllahu 'anhu addressed the women saying, "O enemies of yourselves! You fear me more than you do Allah's Messenger (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam)?" They said, "Yes, for you are harsher and sterner than Allah's Messenger (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam)." Then Allah's Messenger (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, "O Ibn Al-Khattab! By Him (Allah the Almighty) in Whose Hands my life is! Never does shaytan find you going on a way, but he takes another way other than yours."

Poem: What It Means To Be Truly Happy In Marriage Life

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

💌 What does true happiness mean when you've become a wife? 

What does real joy feel like when you've entered marriage life? 

Caressing and cuddling with your spouse day and night? 

Dating your soulmate often to be spoiled with delight?

Gushing over how in many ways you seem alike? 

~•~

Taking photos together then displaying your smiles 

On social media to inspire envy and earn likes? 

Exchanging love letters and poetry oftentimes? 

Cooking fancy meals for each other once in a while?

Receiving hugs and gifts whenever your man arrives? 

~•~

Contentment is better than happiness, FYI, 

Because once you're contented, you're fully satisfied. 

When you're content with the guy whom Allah the Most Wise

Selected as your travel partner to Paradise,  

You won't ask for someone else; you'd love him till he dies. 

~•~

To be happy as your husband's grateful, patient wife, 

Is to enjoy strong faith/Imaan and peace from inside. 

Increasing Shukr and Sabr are what you've acquired 

While striving to maintain contentment in marriage life. 

Through this love for Allah, you're enlightened and inspired. 

~•~ 

If you're happy, don't compare yourself to other wives. 

Instead, keep mentioning your man's name each day and night 

In your loving prayers, asking Allah the Most Wise 

To always bless your marriage so you both reunite 

In Jannah where euphoria and pleasure never die.

~•~

Tips: When To Reject And When To Accept The Marriage Proposal Of A Muslim Man Who Is Already Married?

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

🗒️ Nine instances when you have a right to reject a marriage proposal from a married guy: 

1] If you see yourself eagerly planning to replace his first wife through sorcery (note: practicing black magic / witchcraft is a major sin which Muslims must avoid) or gradual efforts to convince the man to leave his first wife. 

2] If there's another Muslim who already spoke to your parents or guardians regarding his willingness to marry you, and his current status is single. It may be better to accept the marriage proposal of one who has never been married previously than become somebody's second wife while being seen by some individuals as a "homewrecker". 

3] If you are aware that the man proposing is financially struggling with many debts and a large family to care for. You don't want to be an additional problem when he still has lots of problems to solve. 

4] If you, without a doubt, can guarantee or confirm that you and his first wife won't get along, because of previous misunderstandings or the clear differences in your attitude and personalities bring about conflict. 

5] If the only ones who are enthusiastic about you marrying the guy are his first wife, his relatives, and your family. It is better to remain single, waiting for a sincere spouse in this world or in Jannah Paradise, than to dutifully wed a man whose main reason for marrying you is to modify your marital status or fill the "empty space" which your late husband or ex-husband left.

6] If the guy's belief / 'Aqeedah is different from yours, if he's guilty of bid'ah, or it is known that he was involved in multiple crimes which shouldn't have anything to do with you. 

7] If you're okay with accepting the guy's marriage proposal but his first wife happens to be your sister, half-sister, or foster sister. You can marry your sister's husband only after she has passed away, not during her lifetime. Allah the Almighty knows best. 

8] If the guy proposing requests you to do whatever you can to ensure the wedding is kept as a secret, afraid that his first wife may find out. Better to offer food regularly to stray cats that are still scared of you than spend your future with a coward. 

9] If you sense that the man is pursuing you mainly because his first wife is infertile, and he can't promise that he'll try his best to treat all his wives as fairly as he can. What if he files for divorce after you give birth to some children and he takes custody of the kids while he keeps his first wife?

✅ When can you say yes to a married man's marriage proposal?

1] If you've prayed two Sunnah Rak'ahs of Salat Al-Istikhaara, carefully analyzed the pros and cons of marrying the guy, and you feel ready to be his second wife without regret, and without any intention to separate the man from his first wife.

2] If you admire the man's strong faith/Imaan and pleasant personality, while his first wife made it very clear that she's okay with him marrying you, and they're not going through financial difficulties. 

3] If you have been single for many years and this marriage proposal is the first ever you've received. Maybe it is a response from Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala to one of your frequent supplications. Pray two Rak'ahs of Salat Al-Istikhaara before finalizing your decision.
