Poem: Sample Letter Or Message Which You May Give To Unattainable "Crushes"

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

💌 A sample letter from a soul 'in love' to the one admired,

To soothe heartbroken souls, and so some lessons can be derived:

"Dear 'crush', the secret recipient of my heart's wrongful desires,

I would like to wholeheartedly explain and apologize

Why I exhibit rudeness when I can't look you in the eye.

~•~

Whether you've been told this before or not yet, I wish to say

That I find you appealing and special in all sorts of ways.

You give me the feelings of being delighted and amazed,

Nervous in your presence, down and nostalgic when you're away.

Although you look incredible, I choose to lower my gaze.

~•~

Thoughts of being your lover are among the battles I fight,

Wondering what you taste like, while resisting at the same time,

Has led me feeling ashamed of sensations I try to hide.

On some days I strive to fast, then resort to crying at night,

Begging Allah to forgive the emotions I keep inside.

~•~ 

I never chose to have these feelings nor like you in that way.

If I could do anything, I'd want to go numb any day,

Devoid of being magnetized by your captivating face,

Or return to the past like a time machine and click replay,

To avoid future heartbreaks, how we first met would be erased.

~•~

But I got no superpowers apart from faith and insight,

Guidance from Allah the Most Wise Who shows me what's wrong and right.

Since zina is a major sin, I want it out of my sight.

Thus I control my glances to remain chaste, with Allah's Light,

Praying that Allah protects you and me from evils and crimes.

~•~

I'm sorry I left your text on 'seen' mode and you had to wait.

I had to end our sinful chats and quit playing shaytan's games.

Every message you sent me and each moment I read your name

Made my body shake with arousal but with abundant shame,

So I've decided to walk away from you for Allah's sake.

~•~

Please don't assume I hate you; you're a sweetheart I really like.

Nonetheless my love for Allah outweighs this dunya's desires.

Though we're not close anymore, you're in my Du'as day and night.

Let's distance ourselves from each other till we reach Paradise,

Where we can meet Allah and receive whatever we desire."

~•~

📖 Abu Qatadah RadhiAllahu anhu narrated that Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, you will never leave anything for the sake of Allah the Almighty but that Allah will replace it with something better."

Poem: The Secret To Feeling Indifferent When Some Users Unfriend You

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

💌 A secret to indifference and feeling unfazed, 

Unruffled and unaffected when "friends" go away, 

Or when users unfriend you and you're like, "Fine. Okay. 

You can leave if you want. No one's forcing you to stay." 

Is to live solely for Allah and trust Him always.

~•~

That's your secret - that's how you somehow intimidate 

Dark souls and jealous hearts that clash with your steadfast faith. 

For their freedom and choice to detach yourself don't blame. 

Your confidence or love for Allah brings them dismay, 

Or they unfriended simply because they can't relate.

~•~

You're not an umbilical cord. They're not a fetus. 

You're not a tree. They're not monkeys that hang on branches.

You're not a seatbelt. They're not drivers that are careless. 

You're not a bee. They're not beehives, hence they're not needed. 

When some ditch you, visualize them as detached leeches.

~•~

If for years you survived without them, you can do this. 

They don't pay your bills nor breastfeed or keep you nourished. 

In fact, it's a blessing that they left if they're toxic. 

No more tolerating their nonsense, lies and gossip. 

Their disappearance means you're no longer distracted.

~•~

Alhamdulillah Allah got rid of the wicked 

Who were bad for us and undervalued our kindness, 

Or whose presence in our present is problematic.

As we gladly move on, let them manage without us. 

There's no loss, so long as I'm from those whom Allah loves.

~•~

Poem: Three Tips To Stay Contented With Your Husband And To Not Compare Him To Other Men

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

💌 Three tips and kind reminders, to myself including, 

On how to not compare other men to your husband, 

To not feel less when friends marry men much more handsome, 

Taller than your soulmate, or they earn larger income, 

Or the groom's ethnic background makes their love exciting:

~•~

One: Accept the man whom Allah has wisely chosen 

As your other half, soulmate and travel companion. 

How you met and married were all by Allah destined. 

In connecting you together there's always wisdom - 

Patiently be content with Allah's wise selection.

~•~

Two: Love that your man's unique, not a clone of someone. 

Don't size him up according to others' measurement, 

Standards, preference and different expectations. 

Loving each other for Allah is what's important. 

No need for him to be "perfect" for you to love him.

~•~

Three: The firmer your faith, the stronger your acceptance, 

The more you welcome Allah's Qadr with contentment, 

And the less you're prone to envying others' blessings.

Since you know your love story was by Allah written, 

Your husband's looks and traits you embrace without question.

~•~

Dates, bananas and honey differ in appearance, 

But they're alike in the sense they taste sweet and pleasant. 

Let your friends love their soulmates, while you love your husband. 

Stay grateful to Allah, thrive with Imaan and patience,

And cleanse your heart so it's not stained by comparison.

~•~

Rather, be servants of Allah as brothers. The Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. He does not wrong him, nor humiliate him, nor look down upon him. Righteousness is here," and he SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam pointed to his chest three times. The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "It is enough evil for a man to look down upon his Muslim brother.

Poem: Allah The Almighty Controls All Things Including Destiny, So Don't Regret Nor Cry "If Only"

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

💌 If only those folks didn't post those status updates 

That seemed passive-aggressive, filled with envy and hate, 

I wouldn't have unfriended them, and they would've stayed 

As potential friends, but Allah willed they'd go away.

~•~

If only they answered my messages earlier, 

Proved they were reliable, good advice they offered, 

And talked more often, our friendship would've been longer, 

But Allah detached us. We're back to being strangers.

~•~

If only I was more open to my ex-best friend 

And canceled all the actions that led to arguments, 

We'd still be talking by now and analyzing dreams, 

But Allah willed she'd leave while I'd confide in just Him.

~•~

If only I didn't rush, and took more time thinking 

About that task's likely outcomes before reacting, 

And if I researched carefully before deciding, 

The fees wouldn't have been wasted, but I learned something.

~•~

If only I was present at that fam reunion 

And shared my thoughts in a manner that's more appealing, 

Many of them and I'd still be communicating, 

But I tried, and Allah knows there's a better timing.

~•~

If only this and that behaved much more decently, 

Never made taboo gestures and lousy emojis, 

I'd be willing to befriend them, and we'd chat daily, 

But Allah kept them distant, as they're not good for me.

~•~

When regret and thoughts that start with "If only..." pass by, 

I recall we're just servants of Allah the Most Wise 

Who controls all things in, above and beneath the skies.

What take place on earth are what Allah decrees and likes.

~•~

We can't always grasp why certain incidents occur, 

As we're humans who often forget, misjudge and err. 

As Muslims we trust Allah, with Sabr and Shukr,

Believing in the truth that Allah controls Qadr.

~•~

Feeling remorseful in dunya isn't as intense 

As everlasting regret of Allah's opponents 

Who in the afterlife would wish to have worshipped Him.

In our trust and belief in Allah let's be constant.

~•~

If he goes through difficulty, he shows patience and it is good for him."

A man is put to trial according to his Deen/religion. If he is firm in his religion, his trials will be more severe. If he is weak in his religion, he is put to trial according to his strength in religion. The servant will continue to be put to trial until he is left walking upon the earth without any sin."

Poem: Five Signs That Your Husband Is Clearly Your Soulmate And One Of Allah's Blessings To You

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

💌 Five signs your man's your soulmate, and Allah knows better, 

Signs that you married your soulmate and he's the answer 

To your prayers back when you were single and younger, 

That your husband's Allah's gift and part of your Qadr:

~•~

One: You love him for Allah, not for worldly matters, 

And loving him for Allah helps you become wiser 

As a Muslimah who thrives with Sabr and Shukr. 

To you this bond is sublime, more solid than paper.

~•~

Two: Despite distance due to work, love still grows stronger, 

And in spite of some disputes, you forgive each other. 

Distractions and obstacles just make your love deeper,

Not just your man's lover but for his love a fighter.

~•~

Three: Although at times you feel attracted to others, 

You stay as your husband's loyal wife, friend and partner. 

Seeing other couples can't make you feel inferior; 

They inspire you to love your soulmate even harder.

~•~

Four: You're used to each other's scent and body odor. 

He can't disgust you and his farts sound even sweeter 

And funner than drumrolls, thunder and sparrows' twitters. 

Even more pleasant than his snores is his cute laughter.

~•~

Five: You're with him till his soul moves to the Hereafter. 

You can never imagine marrying another 

For as long as he's your other half, you're together, 

And you'll keep loving him in all seasons and weather.

~•~

Firmly you believe that your spouse is Allah's answer 

To your prayers back when you were single and younger. 

You know your man's your soulmate and part of your Qadr 

When staying married to him helps you become better.
