Poem: Let Your Tears Witness That Your Heart Is Pure And Sincere

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Checklist to determine how soft and pure your heart is: 
Have you, at least once, cried whilst reading Qur'an verses?
Shed tears when you overslept and Tahajjud was missed?
Had tears streaming down as you seek Allah's Forgiveness?
Wet your hijaab or prayer mat while you've repented?
~•~
Or do you cry when watching sappy romance movies? 
When you're informed of the death of fave celebrities?
When sports teams you're cheering for fail to gain victory?
When someone discovers your shameful net history?
When reciting lines from melodramatic stories?
~•~
Can your heart express its purity, sincerity 
And real love for Allah through releasing heartfelt tears?
Can you weep for Allah Who always sees you and hears 
Your innermost cries and needs when loved ones disappear?
Can you cry, relieved, knowing Allah is the Most Near?
~•~
Tears don't state you're weak, but your heart is truly sincere. 
They fall humbly for Allah the One Whom you most fear, 
Who knows precisely what you need when people can't hear 
The sorrow behind some of your smiles and words you speak.
Tears you pour out for Allah are proofs your soul is clean.
~•~
Be humble enough to cry to Allah faithfully, 
Praying for Allah's Love, that in both worlds you succeed, 
That Allah forgives all wrongs you did ignorantly, 
That your heart inclines to doing good deeds patiently, 
And your tears leave trails towards earning Jannah's entry.
~•~
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated that Allah's noble Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "There are seven persons whom Allah will shade on a Day when there is no shade but His. They are a just ruler, a young person who grew up worshipping Allah, a person whose heart is attached to the mosques, two persons who love each other and who meet and depart from each other for the sake of Allah, a man whom a beautiful woman of high status seduces but he rejects her by saying 'I fear Allah', a person who spends in charity and conceals it such that his right hand does not know what his left hand has given, and a person who remembered Allah in private and his eyes are filled with tears."

Poem: On Tears That Cry For Allah's Guidance And Steadfastness As A Muslim

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Dear Allah Almighty, these tears tell various stories
Of how I feel when I'm hurting, confused or worried.
See the Ummah's state. Note how the sects are too many,
And made-up terms like "Madkhali", "Hizbi", "Wahhaabi".
~•~
Dear Allah, guide me to You, show me the correct creed.
Help me stick to the Sunnah and stay firm on Tawheed.
These tears so eagerly seek unwavering belief,
Fearful of bid'ah while longing for Allah's Mercy.
~•~
So teach me O' Allah, Rabbi zidnee 'ilmaa, please.
Show me who else among the scholars are trustworthy,
From Sheikh Fawzan, Ibn Uthaimeen, and Al-Baani,
To the honest ones of today whose hearts are sincere.
~•~
And o' Allah keep me away from being extreme,
Claiming this and that are deviants without being clear,
Counting others' errors and doing aimless Takfeer,
As what extremists do when ignorance is held dear.
~•~
Dear Allah, forgive me as these tears trail down my cheeks,
Falling to express shame for the sins done previously. 
When among students of knowledge, I feel unworthy,
Aware I have tons to research, discover and read.
~•~
These tears are begging for guidance O' Allah daily.
Dear Allah guide me to As-Siraat Al-Mustaqeem,
Pardon me and every Muslim whom I did mistreat,
O' Allah connect me with those whose love is worthy.
~•~
Dear Allah, reveal to me signs, too in lucid dreams,
Of souls whom I can trust, who reflect sincerity,
And who can accompany me to Jannah's journey,
So souls that cry for You Allah can unite. Ameen.

Poem: Meaning Of The "Door Slam" To Muslim INTJs

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 What the "door slam" implies to Muslim INTJs, 
Who choose their friends wisely, love and hate for Allah's sake, 
Who pick souls who inspire them to level up their faith, 
And from toxic people they prefer to disengage:
~•~
The "door slam" when done by INTJs signify 
They're tired of your tendency to gossip and tell lies, 
Inside they're like "We can't be friends anymore. Goodbye." 
Yet if you cross paths they'll still say salaam with a smile.
~•~
Though no longer close, INTJs remain polite.
Unlike insecure types, they won't cause drama, backbite, 
Or spread your secrets despite detaching from your life. 
They won't ask for your advice nor stalk your posts online.
~•~
As introverts, "lonely" is a word that can't describe 
Them while they distance themselves from those who bring bad vibes,
Who habitually manipulate, talk trash and lie.
With solitude that's calm and worthwhile they're satisfied.
~•~
Since they're intuitive, they can read between the lines, 
And their gut instinct granted by Allah the Most Wise 
Is a gift that guides them to recognize what's not right, 
They're stubborn once they decide to ditch foes in disguise.
~•~
As thinkers who do things in a way they think is bright, 
Aiming to please Allah, they don't wane when criticized.
Unafraid of insults and firm when strangers despise, 
They don't miss past good times if by them you're now disliked.
~•~
Their detachment is not from pride, but for Allah's sake. 
They want their Imaan to be safe, thus they stay away 
From those whose awful attitude is often displayed.
INTJs don't vibe with the morally unsafe.
~•~
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Love whom you love moderately, perhaps he will become hateful to you someday. Hate whom you hate moderately, perhaps he will become your beloved friend someday."

Poem: Avoid Gossipers For Allah And Don't Be Affected By Gossip

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Don't let insults shake you. You're not a washing machine. 
Don't be affected by rumors nor fear souls demeaned. 
What critics claim about you reflect low self-esteem 
And awful upbringing that leads to them acting mean.
~•~
When users gossip on their timelines, it is so clear 
They envy those whom they backbite about cowardly.
Only those who abhor themselves and breed misery 
Can spoil their character through backbiting childishly.
~•~
Are they that overwhelmed by their insecurities 
That they feel the need to disturb others' peace sadly?
If one can't inspire nor defend, then don't even speak 
Words that reveal one's faith levels are currently weak.
~•~
You're in conflict with someone? Confront them directly 
Rather than bashing them from behind immaturely.
Or complain about them to Allah Who always hears,
And have strength to move on from discord so you can heal.
~•~
Let keyboard warriors conquer each other verbally, 
Unfollow those guilty of moral toxicity, 
Allow your heart to rest and free it from jealousy, 
And know Allah's Justice shall prevail ultimately.
~•~
📖 AbdurRahman ibn Ghanm RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The best servants of Allah are those who remind you of Allah when they are seen.

Poem: Avoid Unjust Assumption And Suspicion

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 It's easy to instantly assume that someone's post 
Is an insult aimed at you, but little do you know 
They're going through tough times offline which they cannot show. 
Perhaps their notes are not for you but clients who owe 
Them huge debts and that's how their disappointment is shown.
~•~
Friends who flaunt their contentment in marriage may feel low 
When the husband isn't around or he's far from home.
Their frequent display of love could be their way to cope 
With the husband's absence or with polygyny's woes.
Wanting you to envy their love life isn't their goal.
~•~
Loved ones who make you feel as though you're being ignored 
Aren't snubbing you with pride because by them you're loathed.
Likely they have tons of tasks they need to focus on, 
Many of your posts to them aren't relatable, 
Or they like you, but in haraam love they'd hate to fall.
~•~
People who can't give you proper eye contact at all?
It's not that you look awful, but by you they're enthralled.
By forbidden feelings they don't wish to be controlled.
Or that's how they respect you. It's not really your fault 
If they're shy or their morals don't equal yours at all.
~•~
It's simple to quickly guess that someone's thoughts or words 
Are threatening to our lifestyles, confidence and goals.
It takes loads of patience and trust in Allah to know 
That people's acts often disclose their beliefs, self-worth, 
And tests in this world. So don't misjudge with your ego.
~•~
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the most false of tales. Do not seek out faults, do not spy on each other, do not contend with each other, do not envy each other, do not hate each other, and do not turn away from each other. Rather, be servants of Allah as brothers."
