Poem: In Jannah Paradise There Are No Problems

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

💌 Dear Muslim, created to worship Allah the One,

Don't think you're a bad person because of depression,

Magnifying your worries, forgetting your blessings,

Assuming nobody likes you - a false illusion,

~•~

Know I care for your well-being, so here's a poem 

On tips shared for Allah's sake, with heartfelt affection:

You're never alone in this journey. Don't feel lonesome.

We're all in this together, with a noble mission.

~•~

Our main purpose is to please Allah, as His servants,

Through the actions He ordered, with sincere intention.

Our value isn't based on people's criticism,

Specially when they don't know who we are when hidden.

~•~

When some loved ones display hatred or indifference,

Let's take this chance to collect rewards through calm patience,

Understand they've got their own tests and complications.

Give them space till they're strong enough to show compassion.

~•~

To be happy, you don't need a luxurious mansion,

Fancy food nor "pleasure" from forbidden relations.

You just need Allah by your side and strong connection

With our Creator, worshipping Him with contentment.

~•~

Mistakes in life and wrong decisions are tough lessons

Which remind us we're human with many shortcomings.

Nonetheless we don't give up on Tawbah/repentance.

Seeking Allah's Forgiveness is from being Muslim.

~•~

The more Allah loves us, the more Allah examines,

Granting trials so our level of faith is strengthened.

Like in some games, higher levels mean new opponents

Who show up as blessings in disguise to gain our sins.

~•~

Don't worry about haters and their wrong opinions.

It's not our fault if they hate us coz we're different.

Somewhere worldwide are souls who share our situation,

With Allah's Will, in Heaven we'll meet those companions.

~•~

For as long as we're alive let's continue striving,

Thriving with faith, Dhikr and Qur'an recitation,

And worshiping Only Allah until we meet Him

In Jannah Paradise where souls are not examined.

~•~

📖 Suhaib RadhiAllahu anhu narrated that Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu alaihi wa sallam said, "Wondrous is the affair of a believer, as there is good for him in every matter; this is not the case for anyone but a believer. If he experiences happiness, he thanks Allah and it is good for him. If he experiences harm, he shows patience and it is good for him."

Tips: Signs Of Shallow And Superficial People

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

🗒️ Five signs of shallow or superficial people and three reasons why it's wiser to avoid getting too close to them: 

1] They judge people's values or worth according to their outward appearance, popularity, "fashion sense", income, and rumors spread about them. If you're not as physically fit or good-looking as they are, they consider you unworthy of befriending, unless you start losing weight or display how your presence can benefit their reputation.

2] While they can easily and enthusiastically discuss matters related to dunya's fleeting enjoyments, such as how much they've enjoyed binging at a buffet restaurant or what rides they thought were most enjoyable at an amusement park, they're incapable of saying anything inspirational or asking clever questions when it comes to religious talks or worthwhile discussions on how to become a better Muslim. 

3] They have an awful tendency to backbite and gossip about people's issues which don't concern them directly. If they ran out of jokes to invent regarding those whom they envy or despise unreasonably, they'd eagerly talk about the latest news on their neighbors, colleagues, or favorite celebrities. 

4] They've admitted at least once that they dislike reading or you can tell that they don't put enough effort into genuinely studying about Islam. If they're attending an Islamic webinar or conference, instead of listening attentively, they mostly distract themselves with playing games or net browsing on a different gadget or chatting aimlessly with the person beside them. 

5] A lot of the content they upload regularly on their Instagram feed or Facebook wall revolve around selfies, group photos to flaunt their likability, funny trending videos, advertisements on recommended places for tourists to visit, and cowardly passive-aggressive rants about individuals whom they misunderstand. 

💬 Three reasons why it's a blessing to not keep them as close friends: 

1] Protection from attaining the sins of other Muslims every time somebody from this toxic clique knowingly indulges in backbiting. 

2] The less time you waste with individuals who are a negative influence or who can't motivate you to improve as a Muslim, the more opportunities you find in researching about Islam and resources on self-development. 

3] By refusing to associate with those who are not eager to please Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala while they are more focused on relishing this world's transient joys than striving to deserve Jannah Paradise, you can 

Inn-sha-Allah avoid regret on the Day of Judgment.

Note: Permissibility To Pray The Next Prayer With The Same Wudhu As The One Performed For The Previous Salah As Long As The Ablution Was Not Invalidated

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

🗒️ Allah the Almighty knows best. 

If you have performed wudhu/ablution to pray Salat Ad-Dhuha, you can pray Salat Adh-Dhuhr with that wudhu if you're able to retain it. Likewise if you did wudhu to pray Tahajjud / Qiyaam Al-Layl, you can pray Salat Al-Fajr with that same wudhu as long as it was not invalidated (through flatulence, sleeping etc.).

Tips: What To Look Out For When Searching For A Good Muslim Wife And Blessings In Marrying A Righteous Muslimah

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

🗒️ Checklist for each brother in Islam who's willing to find a righteous Muslimah whom he can marry for Allah's sake: 

1] It is known that when she's outdoors or in the presence of non-mahram males, she wears proper hijaab/niqaab and dresses modestly. 

2] She's not the kind of woman who's obsessed with wearing heavy make-up and fancy jewelry. A righteous Muslimah may do whatever she can to beautify herself exclusively for her husband once she gets married. 

3] She actively avoids interacting with non-mahram guys online and offline as much as possible. On social media she doesn't have male users as "Facebook friends" unless they happen to be her male mahrams such as her father, brothers, and nephews. 

4] She strives to follow the correct 'Aqeedah (sound belief), while staying away from anything associated with bid'ah including celebrating birthdays and the so-called "mawlid an-nabiyy" etc. 

5] It is clear that she respects her mother and father. A lady who gets along with her parents and elders well is likely to be respectful towards her future husband. 

6] It is obvious that she doesn't have an addiction to taking nonsensical selfies and narcissistically uploading photos of herself on the social networking websites she often logs into. A pious Muslimah refrains from posting pictures and sketching images of living beings. 

7] She, as well as her parents, do not demand an unreasonably large mahr/dowry or extravagant wedding. The closer a Muslimah is to Allah the Almighty and the more she desires Jannah Paradise, the less demanding she'd be regarding materialistic things, and the more she'd prefer a simple wedding with an unpretentious lifestyle. 

🌼 A man who marries a righteous Muslimah for Allah's sake 

Inn-sha-Allah won't regret because she: 

1] ...will not expect her husband to be perfect and infallible 24/7. She is readily forgiving, empathic, and understanding of his imperfections. 

2] ...will not purposely do anything to humiliate or disrespect him, especially in front of his loved ones and friends. 

3] ...will not suspect him of "cheating" on her just because he briefly spoke to a female client, neighbor, colleague, patient, or student. 

4] ...will not annoy him by being overly clingy, irrationally dramatic, and exceedingly sensitive or unduly jealous and insecure, frequently inspecting the electronic gadgets he utilizes for communication and interrogating him with questions which showcase she doesn't trust him. 

5] ...will not insecurely threaten him with divorce whenever they argue or if ever he informs her that he is interested in marrying another dedicated Muslimah to increase the barakah/blessings in their marriage life, since she has already researched about the wisdom behind polygyny, virtues of rewarding patience, and humbly accepts Allah's Qadr/Decree, aware that Jannah Paradise is our ultimate destination while this dunya is merely temporary.

Note: Live On Earth To Please Only Allah The Almighty And Know That Real Life Is In Jannah Paradise

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

💌 I used to be acquainted with a female in her mid twenties who died some time this year while giving birth if I'm not mistaken. If one of her dreams or life goals was to bring up righteous Muslim kids, with Allah's Will she wasn't able to see such wish come true. Two of my students some years ago passed away in their teens without experiencing what it's like to graduate. If completing college and earning halal income were from their wishes when they were alive, Allah the Almighty decreed that they'd depart from this fleeting world before such ambitions could be acquired. 

Just recently one brother in Islam, who was around 25 or so years old, passed away while struggling to survive as a hardworking teacher amidst different sources of stress. 

Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala destined that he would be among those young men who'd die without the opportunity to experience marriage life and fatherhood. 

No matter how much you desire to attain certain goals in this temporary dunya, whether one of your aims is to become a wealthy professional or dedicated spouse, understand that our main purpose of living is to do what we can to please and serve Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala until we meet Him. 

It's not a big issue if your overall performance at school or work is unsatisfactory, or if you aren't as rich or good-looking as a particular individual. It's not a crisis if you can't afford branded outfits, costly accessories, and a large mansion. And it's not a serious problem if you're unable to reconcile with some individuals who aren't reciprocating your efforts to reconnect. What is most important is that we strive to live this dunya in a way that pleases Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala through striving to obey His commands and avoid what He prohibited so when He Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala takes us we don't scold ourselves with regret saying things like "if only I prayed on time... if only I deleted all those selfies... if only I completed paying all my debts... if only I recited Surah Al-Mulk before going to bed... and if only I said sorry to my relatives etc.".
