Poem: Dear Husband, Don't Get Tired Of Trying Your Best To Take Care Of Your Family For Allah's Sake

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

🗒️ Some words of encouragement to each Muslim husband, 
Whether he works abroad to obtain halal income 
Or the kind of profession he has prevents him from 
Properly relaxing or seeing his fam often, 
And whether he has one child, none or many children: 
~•~ 
Deeds you do for Allah aren't wasted. Keep striving. 
For each nap you sacrifice, moments when you're working, 
And for each tear that drops when loved ones aren't watching, 
With Allah's Will you earn rewards. Strive and stay patient. 
Allah loves those who try to pass His tests with patience. 
~•~
While Sabr isn't simple, not sweet for everyone, 
And by those weak in faith it's not readily welcome, 
Steadfastness and facing Allah's Plans with contentment 
Can bring pleasant outcomes as one's Imaan gets strengthened. 
Efforts to please Allah lead to joy everlasting.
~•~ 
Recall that life's a test. View marriage as a blessing.
Remind yourself there's no human without a problem. 
Imagine the route to Jannah as a high mountain 
Whose peak can't be reached if you lack strength and resilience.
Climbing becomes tiring if you can't maintain patience.
~•~
Thank Allah that He blessed you with an occupation, 
With guidance to the truth Islam and comprehension 
Of how the problems in this world aren't permanent. 
Allah's Prophets also ('alaihim as-salaam) had their own predicaments. 
Earth is for testing. In Jannah is true enjoyment.
~•~

Note: Five Reasons Why Maintaining Friendship As Adults Can Be Tough At Times

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 
📝 Five reasons why maintaining friendship as adults can be challenging at times, why some adult friendships gradually dissipate: 
1] Very obvious differences in goals, interests and priorities. 
✅ For example: A woman whose husband works abroad is more likely to connect well with other wives who don't always get to see their husbands or who are similarly okay with polygyny, while she'd keep her distance from those whose presence could threaten her contentment with her marriage life whether directly or indirectly. 
2] Busyness with work and multiple projects or conflict in their schedules regarding available timings for chatting and meeting up etc. 
3] Each of them is also busy with trying her best to care for her husband, parents, child/children and families. 
4] If they are all introverts, they're probably waiting for each other or somebody to make the first move in organizing a meaningful gathering and sending out invitations.
5] They could all be equally struggling financially, so attempting to be the host of a memorable event or conducting a group outing may not be something they'd readily do on a regular basis if they're currently on a tight budget. 
✨ If you want a connection to last longer Inn-sha-Allah for Allah's sake: 
1. The intention and purpose of two friends connecting should be purely for the sake of Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, not for selfish gain. 
2. Both friends must be extremely forgiving, understanding, caring, supportive and patient for Allah's sake with one another, regardless of how often they communicate face to face. 
3. None of them should be insecure and guilty of envy. Jealousy is a common reason why many potential friends drift away.

Poem: Shame On You If You Guess I Get Jealous When I Don't

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

🗒️ Shame on them - those females older than thirty years old 
Who have a bad habit of acting morally low, 
Often maltreating those upon whom Allah bestows 
Gifts and blessings which they lack, while they haven't yet grown 
Out of their urge to bully like naughty ten-year-olds.
~•~
Shame on you, if you claim to be a "friend", while it's known 
That your envy entices you to diss to and fro 
All those who show they're "better" and disturb your ego. 
Real friends encourage each other and provide support, 
Not spoil others' joy because they themselves are not whole.
~•~
Shame on me if I doubt Allah's Wisdom, but I don't, 
If I question Allah's Way of designing this world
And His Choice to distribute certain favors untold. 
I don't doubt Allah's Justice; with certainty I know 
That some tests come in the form of scarcity or gold.
~•~
Shame on so-called "adults" who sometimes try to provoke
You to misbehave or feel upset through their foul words 
Or through revolting acts. They're so jealous that it hurts 
To see you surpassing them and improving yourself.
So they resort to gossip to tone down feeling worse.
~•~
Acting on jealousy is something true Muslims won't
Do, especially if our faith Imaan remains strong 
While we believe that Allah the Most Wise always knows 
Who from His slaves can benefit from what He bestows 
And who are better off not having what others own.
~•~
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Look to those below you and do not look at those above you, for it is the best way not to belittle the favors of Allah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala)."
