Poem: Emotions Are Temporary Tests. Don't Be Controlled By Them.

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 
📝 Emotions are like the storm or cold snowy weather. 
Like this world, they're temporary. Most feelings later 
Subside. Emotions are tests which don't last forever. 
Remember that Allah's enemy, shaytan, whispers 
Into people's hearts, hence don't obey shaytan's orders.
~•~
It's from the devil's tactics to promise there's pleasure
And so-called "success" in sinning, so we surrender
Our faith and connection with Allah the Creator. 
Don't listen to what shaytan tells your heart; this liar 
Seeks your failure so he gathers roommates in Hellfire.
~•~
Don't let grief lead to suicide nor cause you to injure 
Yourself. Don't let envy urge you to mistreat others. 
Don't let wrath bring forth injustice. Don't allow anger 
And pride to prevent you from forgiving your mother, 
Father and siblings so you treat them like mere strangers.
~•~
Don't let severe anxiety make you forgo Dhikr. 
Fear Only Allah and trust Him Who has full power 
To control everything on earth and what it covers. 
Don't let unlawful lust compel you to dishonor
Your values due to someone's deceptive exterior.
~•~
Don't let joy make you selfish, greedy for life's "glitter" 
And "treasures" which distract souls from more serious matter. 
If ever you've acted on foul emotions, since you're
Just human, pray that Allah forgives all your errors. 
From your mistakes learn to be more careful and wiser.
~•~
If emotions are like the storm, while the temperature 
Outdoors can't be controlled, then take protective measures.
Shield yourself with firm Taqwa and consistent prayers.
Choose close friends cautiously. Never let your sight wander.
Safeguard your Imaan with true knowledge and reminders.
~•~
That your 'Aqeedah belief is right always ensure, 
Because there's no use in controlling feelings if your 
Actions contain bid'ah and of Tawheed you're unsure. 
Learn more about Islam and stay sincere to secure 
Your heart from the schemes of shaytan the cursed and impure.

Note: 11 Ways An INTJ Shows They Love You Without Declaring "I Love You"

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 
📝 Eleven ways that a Muslim with the INTJ personality type shows they love you without saying the phrase "I love you (for Allah's sake, as a friend or loved one)":-
1] Regularly greeting you with the salaam while initiating a hug, offering a handshake, or gently patting you on your back or shoulder. 
2] Sincerely complimenting you on your talents, good qualities they admire about you or your culinary skills even if they've said the same compliments multiple times. 
3] Frequently supporting your halal business by being a loyal customer instead of consistently begging for freebies or special treatment, sharing some of your Facebook posts or pages, and/or giving words of encouragement often to motivate you to thrive as an entrepreneur. 
4] Advising you one-on-one instead of scolding you in front of an audience when they notice you did something wrong.
5] Inquiring about your overall well-being online and/or face to face at least once every five months while going out of their way to prolong the conversation with you rather than being overly formal or awkwardly abrupt and indifferent.
6] Genuinely finding a lot of your jokes amusing and occasionally attempting to make you laugh with their strange sense of humor when possible, instead of appearing too serious or unimpressed around you 24/7.
7] Sharing with you links every now and then to websites, articles, videos or lectures which they hope can benefit you.
8] Allowing themselves to be emotionally transparent with you, which is something not all INTJs do so eagerly, and asking for your advice or feedback on an issue which matters to them a lot. 
9] Defending you without reluctance when they catch somebody treating you unfairly or inappropriately, in both your presence and absence, instead of tolerating or ignoring that person's misbehavior. 
10] Trying to share with you something they've cooked, prepared or designed, or purchasing items, edibles or drinks which they believe you'd like, without expecting you to return their favors. 
11] Making sure that you receive their immediate thanks and expressions of gratitude whenever they find out you did them a favor.

Poem: When A Loyal Wife Talks To Allah The Almighty About Her Dear Husband

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 
💌 Dear Allah the Almighty Who controls everything, 
Dear Allah the All-Knowing Who hears and sees all things, 
Dear Allah the Most Loving You know that I love him - 
The man whom You chose as my spouse for my well-being
And I've stayed loyal to him since our first engagement.
~•~
Dear Allah the Most Kind, I ask You for Your Guidance, 
To guide me and my soulmate on our way to Heaven, 
Praying that when we reach Jannah with Your Permission 
That You Allah would let my spouse watch a recording
Of all the moments when my loyalty was proven -
~•~
...Like when non-mahram males would walk by, I'd avoid them, 
Lowering my gaze, shunning prolonged conversations, 
And delete non-mahram males from lists of "online friends", 
And when some critics try to defame my dear husband, 
I behave like his lawyer with enthusiasm,
~•~
Defending him for Allah's sake, finding solutions,
Sweetly mentioning him in frequent supplications, 
While remaining loyal in his presence and absence. 
And although many may find this strange or disturbing, 
I gladly distance myself from souls who despise him.
~•~
Why should I trust someone who disrespects my husband 
Whom I believe Allah gave as a gift and blessing? 
Dear Allah, please destine that every time my husband
And I are mentioned badly by jealous opponents, 
You Allah grant them our sins and enhance our patience.
~•~

Tips: What To Do When You're Informed That Some Jealous Clowns Backbite About You A Lot

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

🗒️ Question: Without lying at all, what would your usual reaction be if somebody informed you that a group of individuals frequently backbite and make ridiculous jokes about you?
📝 Answer: Allah the Almighty knows best. If someone told me that a bunch of acquaintances or even relatives gossip about me on a regular basis I:- 
1] ...would feel unsurprised, since I understand that the majority of the people on earth are in reality very insecure or generally prone to feeling intensely jealous of those whom they inwardly admit are way better than them in multiple ways. If Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala blessed me with several gifts and innumerable blessings which those gossipers don't have apparently, including decent manners, it comes as no surprise that they'd be triggered by intense jealousy. Their ugly feelings of envy compel them to cowardly criticize me so their attention is temporarily diverted from their insecurities, failings and absurdities.
2] ...become even more grateful to Allah the Most Loving that He Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala bestowed upon me some knowledge of Islam and awareness of how terrible the major sin of backbiting is. Those gossipmongers are the ones oppressing themselves and collecting a number of my misdeeds every time they idiotically backbite about me. 
3] ...unapologetically, for Allah's sake, as much as possible, avoid unnecessary interaction with those gossipy individuals, those who instantly believe the nonsense which those gossipers convey, and also keep my distance from the person who shamelessly narrated to me about the nonsense which those gossipers conveyed. If one day "A" relates to me that "S" and "Z" said such-and-such about me and because of what "S" and "Z" claimed about me, "R" and "N" started acting distant, I would not only quit being interested in building a friendship with "S" and "Z" for their filthy assumptions but also with "R" and "N" since they were not supportive and smart enough to thoroughly verify the information they received before stupidly jumping to conclusions. I would be increasingly wary of "A" and their likes as well because a true friend wouldn't want you to partake in any pointless drama by narrating to you every nonsensical lie which bored and envious clowns like to invent.
I wouldn't allow myself to lose sleep over what those gossipers say about me because I:- 
1] Know that worrying too much about people's opinions and remarks won't solve a single problem nor improve any condition, and excessive worry can prevent me from attaining my goals efficiently (with Allah's Will and Mercy). 
2] Acknowledge that a tiny part of what they perceive about me could actually sometimes be true, and I'm willing to use some frank feedback as a tool to improve.
3] Observe that their frequent lies about me are evident proofs of how they're not familiar with me at all and how it's an enormous blessing to not be affiliated with their tomfoolery.

📖 Anas Ibn Malik RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The believer is one who is trusted by the people. The Muslim is one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe (not guilty of backbiting, telling lies, and deliberately committing injustice). The emigrant (muhaajir) is one who emigrates away from evil. By the One (Allah the Almighty) in Whose Hand is my soul, a servant will not enter (Jannah) Paradise if his neighbor is not secure from his harm."

Do not backbite the Muslims nor seek out their faults. Whoever seeks their faults (searches for their mistakes or publicizes their flaws), Allah will seek his faults. And if Allah seeks his faults, He will expose him even in the privacy of his own house."
