Poem: Only Allah The Almighty Can Heal Hearts And Keep Us Whole

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 The Only One Who can mend and fix a broken heart 
That's been shattered by souls whose mistakes tore them apart,
And the Only One Who can help those who find life hard 
Is Allah Almighty Who can guide, locate lost parts 
And reconnect them or grant the grieving a fresh start.
~•~
Three tips to heal from a broken heart or aching soul: 
One - Trust Allah the Most Kind and know that He controls 
Everything, big and small, that occur, in this brief world. 
If some left without explaining why they had to go, 
Smile, accept it's Allah's Qadr. Trials don't last long.
~•~
Two - Achieve healing by reading Qur'an frequently.
In earning rewards through good deeds keep yourself busy.
Cleanse your heart through Adhkaar, Du'a, and sincerity, 
And increase Sunnah prayers for more tranquility, 
While avoiding fitna and souls with bad energy.
~•~
Three - Remind yourself of death, dunya's temporary, 
And everlasting bliss is found in Jannah only. 
Heartbreaks and sorrow will disappear eventually, 
Along with all your wrongdoings you did previously. 
Difficulties remove sins. After hardship comes ease.
~•~
When some people hurt or confuse you, to Allah flee, 
Run to Allah for comfort and pray for His Mercy. 
Never cling to weak humans who've got their own worries. 
The only attachment which guarantees joy and peace 
Is connecting to Allah Whose Love keeps us complete.
~•~

Poem: My Brief Love Story And Allah's Decree On Letting Me Marry My Cousin

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 My brief love story to share lessons to fellow wives 
On loving one's spouse for Allah as a Muslim wife 
Who knows that Allah the Most Wise is the One Who writes 
His servants' decrees and what occur throughout our lives.
~•~
Alhamdulillah I've never been on dates, not once, 
No haraam affairs prior to meeting my husband 
Who's employed as a doctor and one of my cousins, 
Where we were born and grew up in are both different.
~•~
I was born in Dammam, he in southern Philippines. 
I studied in Riyadh for around seventeen years, 
While his studies were in Davao and Cebu city. 
Still recall how we both felt shy in our first meeting.
~•~
With Allah's Will, this marriage is a parental one, 
Arranged by my parents with the folks of my husband, 
After declining four proposals back in my teens 
When I was ignorant of my duties and our Deen.
~•~
One of the suitors that time worked in a western land, 
The second in Madinah, the third from Pakistan, 
The fourth grew up with me in Al-Khobar and Dammam. 
Thought I wasn't ready to move in with any man.
~•~
Throughout that time an ex-friend and I stayed in contact. 
My rejecting the proposals and our lengthy talks 
Made them suspect our connection, while they were false thoughts. 
We were just friends who were close, not "two females in love".
~•~
Some months later, with Allah's Will, I became a wife 
At twenty while my husband was twenty-eight that time. 
Found out my ex-friend eventually married a guy, 
With Allah's Will, while browsing through some pages online.
~•~
When my husband asked if I could bear him more children 
And I told him I couldn't due to health conditions, 
I mentioned polygyny and how I've no problem 
If he remarries even without my permission.
~•~
When I was twenty-six years old I wasn't surprised 
To be notified that he had a Visayan wife, 
A year older than me, bore our husband their first child 
Named Yusuf - a name which my soulmate knew that I liked.
~•~
From this marriage, Alhamdulillah, I learned a lot, 
That if it's all for Allah, the love can longer last, 
Despite brief challenges and obstacles that distract, 
Marriage lasts much longer if it leads to Allah's Love.
~•~
Allah guided me to recognize the wisdom in 
Polygyny, advocate marriage between cousins, 
And to firmly believe that our journeys are blessings
If they strengthen our Taqwa, faith/Imaan and patience.
~•~

Poem: As Long As We Have Allah's Love, We Lose Nothing If Some People Choose To Leave.

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Tips on how to deal with those casually passing by, 
Who befriend for a while then after some time go "bye!" 
Or who left when common traits in you they couldn't find, 
Or whose sudden departure they failed to clarify, 
So you can savor their absence and leave them behind...
~•~
From within, visualize sending this message to them: 
"Dear ex-friends and strangers who are done with visiting, 
First note, your fleeing didn't decrease my self-esteem. 
I lost nothing by your choice to cut the connection. 
If anything, I'm free from your toxic influence,
~•~
Far from your fitna and obsession with gossiping, 
From your lies or expertise at teaching me nothing, 
From your cowardice, envy and lack of commitment, 
And if you're from those who don't fit ugly descriptions, 
Then disconnecting from distractions is your freedom.
~•~
I've no qualms nor complaints about your disappearance, 
Specially since your choices were by Allah destined. 
How and when we met, and why you left were all written, 
Predestined by Allah the Most Wise and All-Knowing. 
So gladly I move on and smile at your decision."
~•~
For years you managed without them, yes you can survive 
As long as you stay in touch with Allah day and night. 
Temporary people inspire us to just rely 
On Allah the Almighty, Most Loving and Most Kind. 
Nothing's lost if we still keep Islam and faith inside.
~•~

Poem: To Stay Married And In Love, Love Your Husband For Allah's Sake And Don't Quit Easily.

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Like dunya, marriage is a test. There'll be ups and downs, 
Good times, tough times, moments when you laugh followed by frowns, 
Challenges with different kinds of fitna around. 
Numbers quickly quit if their faith isn't firm and sound, 
If pleasing Allah isn't what their love is about.
~•~
Marriage isn't for the weak, who easily give up 
On the human whom Allah chose as their other half.
Marriage isn't for the faint-hearted, not tough enough 
To go on when sweet episodes temporarily stop
Or when their spouse shows their imperfections they get shocked.
~•~
You married a human, not an android, you forgot? 
Like you, your husband gets tired oftentimes and fed up 
When overworked and overwhelmed, like metals can rust.
Like some maintain blades by sharpening them on and off, 
To stay married, persistence and patience are a must.
~•~
Don't let shaytan win each time he suggests, "Just give up. 
Your man doesn't love you. He's negligent and too rough." 
Seek refuge in Allah from shaytan's plots. Don't give up. 
True love for Allah's sake with time only develops 
You and your spouse as Muslims - it's not easily stopped.
~•~
Not condoning actual abuse nor guys who do drugs, 
I'm advising fellow wives to persevere, stay tough, 
And when the husband displays harshness or misconduct 
To patiently forgive him, mention him in Du'as, 
And to await Allah's rewards in Jannah above.
~•~

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."
~•~
