Poem: Advice To Those Who Went Through Verbal Abuse And Cyberbullying

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Words to comfort those who went through cyberbullying, 
Who noticed fake accounts meant to impersonate them, 
Or who witnessed toxic speech and offensive comments 
Posted by users whom they thought were genuine friends:
~•~
Declare 'HasbunAllah wa Ne'm Al-Wakeel' often.
Insults from haters more often than not describe them.
Their obnoxious rudeness is an indirect statement 
They're cowards who envy your good traits and achievements.
~•~
They can fabricate lies about you with resentment, 
Sign up for fake accounts as if it enriches them, 
And portray you with abominable descriptions, 
And still to Allah you're one of His most loved servants.
~•~
Remember Aisha bint Abu Bakr (RadhiAllahu 'anha) years back then? 
She too was gossiped about by some wretched humans,
And her feelings were hurt from the false accusations, 
Yet Allah the Most Just later proved her innocence.
~•~
Let the insecure highlight their self-hate, ignorance, 
And ethics' poor condition. Be glad you're not like them.
It sucks to be in their shoes, the villains envying 
Others' lives because theirs are full of grief and nonsense.
~•~
No confident person would consider bullying 
Nor attempting to trigger victims behind a screen. 
When you spot bullies on cyberspace, know their actions 
Imply they're jealous, or they had awful upbringing.
~•~
Don't brood over their injustice and childish dealings.
Trust Allah, move on, and pray their acts return to them 
If not sooner on earth then on the Day of Judgment,
When no soul can flee from the outcomes of their doings.
~•~

If they accept that, then teach them that Allah has obligated five prayers in each day and night. If they accept that, then teach them that Allah has obligated charity to be taken from the rich and given to the poor. If they accept that, then beware not to take from the best of their wealth.

Poem: Richness In Faith/Imaan And Manners Are More Valuable Than Worldly Riches

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 If you're among the wealthy, say Alhamdulillah,
Make sure your riches don't lead you away from Allah.
If you're with those who struggle, strive and say your Du'as.
Know the poor Muslims are the first to enter Jannah.
~•~
Don't feel ashamed if there are items you can't afford.
It's not a blessing to be deluded by this world,
Taking pride in how much wealth one's bank account can hold,
Looking down on the righteous and good deeds they uphold.
~•~
I'd rather seek the treasures of Islamic knowledge
Than chase after the dollars which the rich keep hoarded.
I admire those brave enough to wear clothes repeated
Than those who keep increasing the size of their closet.
~•~
Let the rich flaunt the fancy restaurants they went to,
Instead of envying, we increase in gratitude -
Grateful to Allah that we can taste different food,
Aware of refugees worldwide and what they go through.
~•~
Too much money in many cases may cause damage,
If surplus income keeps one away from what's Wajib,
Being distracted by being materialistic,
Preferring joyful travel to Islamic classes.
~•~
It's okay if we don't know the names of well-known brands,
From Gucci to Prada, Chanel, Armani and Vans.
What matters is Islam we study and understand,
Maintain good character so Jannah is where we land.
~•~
Simplicity which teaches patience and contentment
Is better than extravagant life with misguidance.
Regardless of savings, use only halal income,
And with them do good deeds to deserve Jannah's entrance.
~•~

The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam repeated this three times, then he said, "Wealth is in the heart and poverty is in the heart. Whoever is wealthy in his heart will not be harmed no matter what happens in the world. Whoever is impoverished in his heart will not be satisfied no matter how much he has in the world. Verily, he will only be harmed by the greed of his own soul."

Poem: Three Tricks Of shaytan To Interfere With Your Friendships

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Three tricks of shaytan to interfere with your friendships: 
One - instilling pride in your heart so you can't forgive, 
Spoiling you with unjust thoughts so you tend to suspect, 
Driving you to feel insecure so you get jealous, 
And confusing you so real friends cannot be trusted.
~•~
Suspicion, one of shaytan's tools, can produce hatred, 
Misleading you to questioning honest friends' motives, 
Getting disappointed when some of their acts upset, 
Whilst they were busy or struggling with their own tests. 
Pious friends breaking up can breed sorrow and unrest.
~•~
Two - shaytan's other trick is playing with people's hearts, 
Ruining innocence and designing messed up art. 
When he spots souls who love for Allah, this foe can start 
Intense feelings of attraction wherein fitna sparks, 
So a more rebellious form of zina is embarked.
~•~
The deceitful devil can distort sisterly love 
And switch admiration into an addicting crush, 
So when they're behind closed doors, they're lured into vile acts, 
Assuming since they can't get pregnant, they won't get caught -
They just "care about each other". Yeah, a bit too much.
~•~
Three - Another trap of shaytan to break connections 
Between striving Muslims is excessive attachment, 
Clinging to Allah's servants with high expectations, 
And when one moves away or they're no longer living, 
The other considers suicide from deep depression.
~•~
Loving people more than Allah is a huge problem.
Gradually it may resemble polytheism, 
If instead of trusting Allah, you prefer your friends, 
With prayers delayed due to fruitless interactions, 
And pursuit of Allah's Love becomes a mere option.
~•~
So shaytan can't get in the way of worthwhile friendships,
Love purely for Allah to keep the bond protected, 
Be each other's mirrors, exchange Islamic knowledge,
And pray for one another in Du'as wholehearted 
Till you reach Jannah where hearts don't need to be tested.
~•~

Poem: Advice To Those Who Regularly Pray Fajr Late

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Advice to those who regularly pray Fajr late, 
Who, when the Adhaan is called, tell themselves "Later. Wait. 
Some more minutes. Let me rest." and purposely delay 
Praying to Allah - the purpose of why we were made:
~•~
How come when it comes to earning income, online games, 
Weddings, gatherings, buying items that are on sale, 
And obtaining freebies, your energy escalates, 
Yet when it's time to pray, you often procrastinate?
~•~
Is people-pleasing more important than Allah's Grace? 
You hate to disappoint people yet you're not afraid 
Of showing up late for Allah Who sees you always?
Attain Allah's Love through Taqwa, Tawbah and strong faith.
~•~
Yes, your sleep and dreams are serene but they don't equate 
With the solace gained in striving to seek Allah's Face.
Yes, your body is tired and you worked hard yesterday, 
But Allah's Wrath is worse if His Laws are disobeyed. 
~•~
Train yourself to sleep early or try to stay awake, 
Have roosters as pets or appoint a loved one to wake, 
Say the Adhkaar before sleeping, and anticipate 
Praying Qiyaam Al-Layl and Fajr for Allah's sake.
~•~

Poem: Three Tips To Preserve Your Marriage And Protect It From shaytan's False Promises

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Three tips for wives to ensure their love stays forever, 
To each wife who aspires to reach Jannah together 
With the man whom Allah chose as her spouse and partner, 
Whether she's his first, second, third, fourth, or sole lover:
~•~
First tip: Aside from loving your man for Allah's sake, 
Befriend grateful wives who don't broadcast their men's mistakes, 
Study writings on loyalty, posts that motivate, 
And unfollow users who debase their husbands' names.
~•~
Don't absorb the vibes of whiners who keep complaining 
About their husbands without thinking of solutions. 
If your advice, help and suggestions aren't welcomed, 
Lessen talks with them to avoid their bad influence.
~•~
Second tip: Rewind and reflect on cherished moments. 
Your husband's wrongs mustn't make his merits forgotten.
Don't let pride force you to demand swift separation 
After arguments that are meant to boost your patience.
~•~
Your soulmate failed to do what you ordered? Forgive him. 
He's human, like you, prone to erring and forgetting.
He keeps disappointing you? Advise until he learns. 
Keep guiding, and don't quit if your love is genuine.
~•~
Third tip: Imagine all the outcomes of your actions.
Will divorce guarantee freedom and joy that's lasting? 
Or will it bring remorse and awkward situations, 
When you cross paths and see his fam every now and then?
~•~
Of the reasons for marrying him recall often,
Prior to deciding always seek Allah's Guidance. 
Soulmates who married for Allah thrive with inner strength 
To withstand trials and defeat shaytan's whisperings.
~•~
