No one else will enter it along with them. It will be said: 'Where are those who fasted, so that they may enter?' When the last of them enter, it will be closed and no one else will go through it."

Note: Allah The Almighty Is Always With Our Muslim Loved Ones Whom We Miss

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

📜 Some tips on how to deal with feeling somewhat upset or disappointed you couldn't say proper goodbye to a loved one, friend or colleague before their travel:

1✅ Remember all the good times and memorable moments you've enjoyed with them. Alhamdulillah at least you did your best in spending quality time with them whenever you could.

2✅ Recall that negative feelings of sadness and worry are only temporary.

Inn-sha-Allah it may be an expiation or means of purification for a Muslim whenever he/she feels sorrowful at times. Feeling worried or sad should inspire us to move closer to Allah the Most Merciful and encourage us to increase in saying more Du'as and Adhkaar (especially reading from the Noble Qur'an whenever possible).

3✅ Firmly believe that

Inn-sha-Allah in Jannah Paradise we can reunite and meet up with them again. It's normal for many families and friends on earth to reside far from each other or relocate.

Inn-sha-Allah in Jannatul Ferdaus the believers there won't be examined with stress, separation or grief etc.

Be inspired also by how independent (while always trusting Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) and resilient the noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam was when he regularly climbed jabal an-noor (mountain of light) to worship Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala in cave Hiraa, and when he SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam traveled by walking to Taif with one of his companions Zaid ibn Haritha RadhiAllahu 'anhum - at that time away physically from their families and loved ones.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah’s noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah (The Almighty) than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: 'If only I had done something else.' Rather say: "Allah has decreed what He wills." Verily, the phrase 'if only' opens the way for the work of shaytan."

Poem: Even If We're Far From Some Loved Ones, Allah The Almighty Is Always Near

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

📜 To one of my brothers who, with Allah's Will, shall soon

Travel to study so more of his skills can improve,

And to those brothers in Islam who can relate too

Regarding learning as adults in a place that's new

And far away from their loved ones - some advice for you:

~•~

Recall our main purpose; the reason we're here is to

Worship no one except Allah the Almighty Who

Always took care of us while we were in our mom's womb.

Allah never left us even if people eschewed

Our presence at times. Allah sees us all through and through.

~•~

Your family and loved ones, and souls who were meant to

Connect with you, with Allah's Will, are like me and you

In terms of being temporary - we're not here to

Live on earth forever nor to each other stay glued.

This world's full of tests. As Muslims we accept the truth.

~•~

Even leaves get dry after some time, flowers fade too,

And a number of Allah's servants gradually lose

Touch with those they used to love while others need to choose

Between tough options. More tests from Allah shows that you

Are special to Allah Who wants your faith to improve.

~•~

Trust Allah. You're not alone. There are many men who

Cope well, with Allah's Will, while in other countries to

Work or take courses despite not being able to

Be near their loved ones. It's okay. Allah is with you.

Jannah's where you can reunite with those who miss you.

~•~

Stay busy with good thoughts. Allah knows what's best for you.

Many from Allah's Prophets ('alaihim as-salaam), and from the pious, too

Had to live far away from loved ones in order to

Attain more blessings, and sometimes success could include

Sacrificing for Allah because your faith is true.

Poem: I'm Not Jealous Of Any Female. Stop Lying To Yourself.

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

📝 Please, stop lying to yourself through falsely assuming

That I'm "jealous" of your appearance or achievements.

Don't waste your time desperately scheming and plotting

Ways to make me "envy" your nonsense and lame acting.

shaytan was prone to jealousy - I don't applaud him.

~•~

You can wear gold jewelry, afford diamond rings,

Own items with emerald, rubies and other gems,

And take pride in your large income or job position,

And, with Allah's Will, I won't, not for any moment,

Wish I were you or wish I were another person.

~•~

I don't wish to be you, since I'm blessed with contentment,

And know that Allah the Most Wise already destined

And designed the gifts and life journeys of His servants.

Why would I envy donkeys partying in mansions

Or feel threatened by monkeys flaunting trash they've stolen?

~•~

So long as you don't believe that Allah is our King,

And as long as within you lingers discontentment,

While you spy on others' lives online very often,

I won't be feeling envious of your deceptions.

shaytan's a jealous type; I don't wish to copy him.

~•~
