Poem: Always Love Your Husband Even If You Don't See Him Always

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

💌 To each wife whose husband works in a different place,

Who is employed or studying many miles away,

And who can't see their other half every night and day:

Don't get tired of loving your soulmate for Allah's sake.

~•~

I understand how sometimes we wish things were perfect,

How fine it would be if lovers didn't separate, 

And if missing one's partner didn't lead to heartaches.

But admit it, this is life, we're bound to be tested.

~•~

In marriage, expect your patience being examined 

When you must deal with the grief of your husband's absence, 

When you can't be near him often unlike your friends' men,

And when you make decisions that require rethinking.

~•~

At times you imagine how amazing it would be 

If you and your husband lived together constantly -

No need for work, no LDR, no polygyny -

But to pass Allah's tests is dunya's reality.

~•~

No worries. Jannah is where you and your spouse can love 

Eternally without trials nor a busy job.

Thank Allah that your love journey trains you to be tough.

Though you can't always be with your zawj, never give up.

~•~

When dreams of your husband make you miss him even more,

And when you need your husband's comforting hugs or words, 

Mention his name in your Du'as to prove he's adored,

Pray you'll both be in Jannah, and know this life is short.

~•~

So no matter how long you wait for your man's return 

Or how far he is, the sky above is the same one, 

And the strength of true love shouldn't drop due to distance,

Since loving him for Allah is worth all the waiting.

~•~

Ali Al-Qari said, "That she prostrates to her husband is due to the number of his rights over her and her difficulty in maintaining gratitude for them. This rhetorical point conveys the obligation of the wife to obey her husband in his rights. Indeed, prostration is not lawful to anyone other than Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala."

Note: Your Choice Of Friends Can Say A Lot About You

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

💌 In Surah Al-Furqaan verse 28 Allah the Almighty mentions how some people on the Day of Judgment will regret being friends with the wrong kind of individuals, whose companionship brought no positive value and caused hell/jahannam to be their ultimate destination.
The similitude of a group of pals anxiously blaming each other on the Day of Resurrection is that of a notorious squad of troublemaking bullies who end up in the principal's office. All of them in the gang that is known for bullying the other students get suspended regardless of how active each participant was.
The type of friends you willingly choose to spend time with can significantly impact your overall attitude, beliefs and lifestyle. So never feel guilty about not having many close friends because you're strictly selective regarding who you trust and befriend for Allah's sake.
~ From the qualities of bad companions or toxic people whom we should avoid yet still treat with basic good manners:
1] They enjoy gossiping, spreading rumors, backbiting, making fun of people behind their backs, and fault-finding while disregarding the fact that they're also imperfect.
2] They stubbornly insist on doing acts of bid'ah, refuse to refrain from obvious haraam/forbidden actions, and encourage you to do the same e.g. celebrating birthdays, flirting with non-mahrams, and sketching drawings of living beings.
3] They have zero interest in learning about Islam, they've declined your invitations to join you in attending Islamic lectures or seminars multiple times, and they seem to be overly attached to this worldly life.
4] They're untrustworthy because they've knowingly lied to you more than once, broken a promise without a genuine apology, or you can sense they're secretly jealous of you. Envious people can never be trusted, as they hate seeing you happy or grateful for the blessings that Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala granted you.
5] They have unreasonably high expectations of you and expect you to constantly solve their problems, like you were unknowingly assigned to be their freelance guidance counselor or babysitter in training. Good friends understand your need for space and privacy at times, just as they don't get hurt if you can't always be there for them, since we know that Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala is the Only One Whom we can truly depend on at all times.

📖 Mu’adh ibn Anas RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “The best of faith is to love for the sake of Allah, to hate for the sake of Allah, and to keep your tongue busy in the remembrance of Allah.” Mu’adh said, “And what else, O Messenger of Allah?” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “And that you love for the people what you love for yourself, and you hate for them what you hate for yourself, and you speak goodness or remain silent.”

Poem: As A Muslim, Don't Be Rude And Insecure.

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

💌 Don't question your self-worth when strangers treat you rudely,
When your salaams are ignored though you said them clearly,
And you receive scowls when you're trying to be friendly.
The problem's with them; they're full of self-hate or envy.
~•~
Confident souls that glow with sublime inner beauty
Don't roam around bullying and forming enemies.
With hearts that don't keep grudges, bad vibes and jealousy,
They treat others with fairness and basic courtesy.
~•~
Speak, and they won't roll their eyes, but listen carefully.
Slip or fall, and they won't laugh, but grant help if you need.
If you're mistreated, instead of staring silently,
They'll defend you or bravely confront childish bullies.
~•~
Rude clowns in contrast gloat in their insecurities.
Their hatred of themselves manifests through being mean,
Maltreating those who threaten their tiny self-esteem.
Their lack of manners stems from ignorance of our Deen.
~•~
Next time you meet someone who treats you impolitely,
Pity them, understand that inside they're unhappy,
Likely jealous they're unlike you - you thrive morally,
Guided by Allah to treat everyone humanely.
~•~
📖 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah’s noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “A Muslim has six rights over another Muslim in good conduct: To greet him with peace when he meets him, to respond to his invitation, to respond to his sneeze, to visit him when he is sick, to follow his funeral prayer when he dies, and to love for him what he loves for himself.”

Tips: Differences Between INTJs, ISTJs And ENTJs

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

💌 Five different scenarios and probable reactions of most INTJs, ENTJs and ISTJs to know how to tell them apart:
1] When entering a conference or social gathering:
Most ISTJs would dutifully greet the people whom they're acquainted with one at a time or just enter quietly and greet them individually afterwards.
Most INTJs would focus on the most ideal seat for them where they won't be distracted from the lecture then formally greet the people whom they are familiar with after the seminar, or they won't bother greeting anybody at all if they have other tasks to do later.
Most ENTJs would go in the hall with a loud entrance and confidently greet everyone whether they're strangers or not.
2] When waiting for the elevator to arrive while being in a hurry to rush to the next floor:
Most ISTJs would patiently wait until the elevator door opens.
Most INTJs would change their route and quickly go for the staircase or escalator in order to be efficient.
Most ENTJs would loudly complain how the elevator is causing them to be late, question the people around if it is functioning or under maintenance, start casual conversations with those who are waiting, or take the staircase/elevator while audibly complaining about the unsatisfactory facilities.
3] During meetings and group discussions:
Most ISTJs would converse in a calm, serious and formal tone. They can make sarcastic remarks or jokes when they feel more at ease.
Most INTJs would be silently observant throughout the meeting and ask questions only when necessary. When many of the attendees are laughing or joking around, most INTJs would keep a straight face or smile discreetly.
Most ENTJs would be very vocal, boisterous and talkative, typically taking over the whole discussion. Giving out orders or being domineering comes naturally to them.
4] When they genuinely like you and care about you:
Most ISTJs would make sure that your basic needs are met, they see to it that you are visibly well taken care of, and you get to see a more funny, relaxed or goofy side of them which outsiders don't.
Most INTJs would take initiative to contact you and check how you're doing, they'd be more tolerant and patient with you instead of critical, and they allow you to see their more sensitive and emotional side.
Most ENTJs would spoil you with gifts that they believe would make you happy, they'd be less bossy towards you, or they would let you take the lead in making decisions when you're out together rather than commanding you what you should do.
5] When they don't like you because your overall temperament, values and interests are too different from theirs:
Most ISTJs would show no interest at all in getting to know you better or they'd try to minimize interacting with you.
Most INTJs would remain aloof, distant and indifferent to you if you're not close to them, yet inside they're willing to learn about you if you can prove that your companionship is worthwhile or you're intellectually stimulating.
Most ENTJs would make it obvious that they're not in good terms with you, and will stubbornly decline your invitation to reconcile, unless you agree with their beliefs or guarantee you won't change who they are.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah 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: Alhamdulillah Always

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

💌 When asked "How are you?", "Alhamdulillah," I'd respond.

Praise be to Allah, the Only One Who understands,

Who sees every situation, knows my condition,

And Who's always with me - so Allah deserves my thanks.

~*~

Behind each "Alhamdulillah, I'm okay," statement

Are untold stories of patience and sweet contentment,

A heart that may be broken, cries that are unspoken,

And concealed tears that flow through Du'a/supplication.

~*~

Although I've sinned, Alhamdulillah there's repentance.

Indeed Allah is the Most Kind and Most Forgiving.

Though not so rich, I'm content with what Allah destined.

There's wisdom in all that Allah decrees to happen.

~*~

Even if I've lost some loved ones and gained some ex-friends,

Alhamdulillah for Allah's Mercy and Guidance,

For guiding me to depend on no one except Him,

And for saving me from those who are bad influence.

~*~

Alhamdulillah, even if I wish to complain

And whine about individuals who lie and betray,

I thank Allah that I'm not like them in any way.

Through haters I've learned to stay patient for Allah's sake.

~*~

While each night and day can be a battle or challenge,

Full of trials that have my faith/Imaan examined,

Alhamdulillah, I have Allah Who can strengthen

And guide me to Him when He hears my supplications.

~*~

Alhamdulillah when I'm happy, stressed, or crying.

All Praise and thanks belong to Allah the Most Loving,

Who granted me not all my wants but my requirements,

Who truly understands my words and silent moments.

~*~

📖 Ibn Abbas RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The first to be called to Paradise are those who always praised Allah in times of ease and adversity."

In another narration, the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Those who praised Allah in every situation."
