Poem: Critics Can Criticize And They Are Still Imperfect
💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
📝 Some secrets behind why some of us don't easily
Get hurt when criticized or excluded frequently:
We're here to please Allah Only, and know that envy
Usually motivates the insecure to mistreat
Those whose good traits remind them of their worse qualities.
~•~
Similarly critics are not perfect actually.
They err and misconstrue at times just like you and me.
If their opinions are mostly lies, why should we feel
Offended if their jokes suit them more accurately?
Stay unfazed by nonsense and those corrupt morally.
~•~
I'm a liar? Please, don't act like you know me fully.
Don't pretend as though you can read my thoughts entirely.
Only Allah witnesses what I go through daily,
While you can simply make guesses like examinees
Select options randomly if they didn't study.
~•~
You claim I'm poor? Broke? Ungraceful? Nasty or ugly?
Negative remarks typically come from those guilty
Of intense jealousy or those who bad-mouth conceal
Internal misery because if they were truly
Contented, they wouldn't treat humans obnoxiously.
~•~
Trying to offend those who live for Allah Only
Is like criticizing mountains and maligning trees
That don't entertain feelings nor care how you perceive
Them, particularly if you're the one actually
Distressed emotionally and don't know me fully.
~•~
📖 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 (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala), 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.”. (QaddarAllahu wa maa shaa-a fa'al) Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of shaytan."

Poem: Don't Be A People-Pleaser - Say No When You Need To
💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful%20(1).jpg)

📝 For Allah the Most Wise respect yourself enough to
Say no to people about things you can't always do,
Cancel certain appointments when you are going through
Some challenges, and decline invitations which you
Receive during times when you've got many tasks to do.
~•~
From Allah's tests which we humans may sometimes go through
Is facing situations in which we're required to
Say no to loved ones and get rejected by some too.
Saying no to fellow servants at times clearly proves
We're not people-pleasers and they shouldn't please us too.
~•~
Allah knows well there are some things we can't always do,
Can't always accomplish, eschew, accept and approve.
This shows we've got limitations and inspires us to
Humbly acknowledge we're imperfect, while people who
Must disappoint us remind us they're imperfect too.
~•~
Through those circumstances there are many chances to
Be patient as Allah decides to prevent, refuse,
Withhold, multiply, decrease, provide, add and remove.
Allah controls everything and has the right to choose
What can occur on earth and what shouldn't continue.
~•~
When we know for sure there's something we can't really do,
We mustn't feel guilty saying no to humans who
Sometimes have no choice but they must say no to us too.
Good friends not guilty of kibr should be able to
Forgive when told "no", with or without valid excuse.
~•~

Poem: Unfollow And Unfriend Toxic People Online And Offline
💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful %20(3).jpeg)
%20(3).jpeg)
📝 To my dear daughter and her half siblings, some advice
On choosing your friends wisely both online and offline,
And these tips can be applied by those who can't deny
The fact that your choice of friends can affect your lifestyle,
Your faith level and moods during daytime and at night.
~•~
On Facebook, don't be afraid to unfriend, with delight,
Users guilty of gossip, envy and telling lies,
Who claim they went to school yet through how they mostly type
And construct their words one can tell that these types don't mind
Making mistakes on purpose and spreading what's not right.
~•~
Unfriend those obsessed with posting selfies with fake smiles
And who care more about looks than what occur inside
Their thoughts that could influence if they've got peace of mind.
There's no need to witness their wants for numerous likes
And reactions to posts which can't uplift nor inspire.
~•~
Don't fill your news feed with nonsense that fail to shed light
On matters which must matter to Muslims who aspire
To please Only Allah and reach Jannah Paradise.
Toxic friends online and offline are like parasites
Causing you to decline from tolerating bad vibes.
~•~
Good friends should teach you things which are factual and worthwhile,
And their presence must remind you to prioritize
Serving Allah instead of succumbing to desires.
Unfriend, block or unfollow not due to kibr/pride,
But to flee distractions and make better use of time.
~•~
