Poem: Worship Allah And Don't Listen To The Evil Whispers Of Our Enemy shaytan

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

💌 When vile thoughts arise like, "Chillax. Later you can pray.", 

"Be brave. Confess your feelings. It's clear they feel the same. 

Kissing upgrades loving each other for Allah's sake.", 

"The perfect joke. It's not gossip if it entertains, 

Makes your audience laugh, or brings smiles to a Muslim's face."

~•~

"Say, that's your chance. They're away. Take it before it's gone. 

Use the cash for your wants and kindness in Ramadan.", 

And "Let them pay first. Once you've changed numbers, you can scram. 

You need the money. They're too naive to catch your scams.", 

Seek Allah's help and guidance against our foe shaytan. 

~•~

Don't underestimate shaytan, though indeed he's weak, 

He won't quit misleading humans until he succeeds. 

If he can't tempt you to commit what your nafs fancies, 

He'll mislead you to bid'ah, to have indecent dreams, 

And distract you from obeying Allah correctly.

~•~

That you yearn to be near Allah when shaytan would see, 

shaytan, with intense jealousy, would persistently 

Whisper foul suggestions when you're awake or asleep, 

Beautifying for you unpleasant acts and misdeeds, 

So his roomies in Hell/Jahannam largely increase.

~•~

The devil, shaytan, is like a lawyer defending 

Guilty clients with lies and clever tactics to win. 

Seek refuge with Allah. Ignore shaytan's deceptions.

With Taqwa, Dhikr and Du'a, keep your faith strengthened, 

And shield your heart with frequent Qur'an recitation.

~•~

Poem: Your Trust In Allah And Your Disinterest In His Servants' Approval Signify Genuine Confidence

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

💌 The truly confident who trust in Allah the most 

Don't pursue people's applause. They focus on their goals, 

Strive to serve Allah, unfazed by His servants' insults, 

While their grudge or indifference can't make them feel hurt, 

Since they aim to please Allah, not attain fame on earth.

~•~

Confident souls remain unaffected and unhurt 

If their calls or messages are purposely ignored, 

If they weren't tagged in a comment or online post, 

And if friend requests they've sent receive "no thanks" and "nope". 

Love them or hate them, true confidence doesn't erode.

~•~

With insight and guidance from Allah, they gladly know 

That actual love or lasting friendship cannot be forced, 

If it wasn't decreed by Allah 'fore one was born. 

Just as you can't enforce some to enjoy eating corn, 

You can't make some like you if your vibes bring discomfort.

~•~

And it's not your fault, if with some you can't get along. 

Perhaps your faith in Allah makes you come off too strong 

To those who guess they're not good enough to tag along, 

Who shun you first so they won't be the rejected ones, 

Or whose jealousy compels them to leave you alone.

~•~

People's likes, compliments and frequent shares of your posts 

Don't measure how much Allah loves you - no, not at all. 

How Prophet Nuh/Noah ('alaihis salaam) had few followers recall, 

Yet he was loved by Allah, blessed with a special role.

Care more about Allah's Love than His slaves' approval.

~•~

Poem: Tips To Forget About A Broken Romance Or Someone You Love But Can't Have

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

💌 Five tips to fully detach from someone you once loved, 

To ditch a broken romance and leave it in the past, 

And to forget about an unattainable crush, 

So there's no awkwardness when Allah plans you cross paths,

Or you can move on from the connection you both had:

~•~

One: Admit, affirm and acknowledge you did feel "love", 

Whether your crush still feels the same way or they forgot, 

Don't deny your attraction or it may develop. 

Tell yourself, "I like them, but they're someone I can't have. 

I'll leave them for Allah's sake. I prefer Allah's Love."

~•~

Two: Accept patiently Allah's Destiny/Qadr. 

Understand if it was destined, you'd be together, 

If Allah wanted you as soulmates for each other 

That would've been the case, but it's not, so don't bother. 

Your spousal love is reserved for someone much better.

~•~

Three: Appreciate the spouse whom Allah chose for you, 

If you're married, and let your love always be renewed, 

So you value them with loyalty and gratitude. 

And if you're single, await your turn with fortitude. 

Don't spoil your future with someone unlawful for you.

~•~

Four: In mourning what went by and what was there's no use. 

Tears in the present can't bring back what you had to lose, 

Nostalgic thoughts and wishing that former bonds stayed glued 

Only please your foes and prevent you from happy moods. 

Reflect on the past only if it helps you improve.

~•~

Five: Substitute your worries and dreams that slipped from you 

With trust in Allah, frequent Adhkaar, Du'as, Sujood, 

And acceptance that what Allah gives is best for you.

Allow heartbreaks to wash away sins you used to do 

And know to Allah's tests there's no human who's immune.

~•~

May Allah the Most Kind and Merciful calm your heart, 

And guide you to patiently moving on from the past. 

Ameen. Take note, when you're among those whom Allah loves, 

Allah may test your faith with souls that deeply attract. 

Be tougher than your nafs. Always prefer Allah's Love.

~•~

📖 Ibn Abbas RadhiAllahu 'anhuma narrated: I was riding behind the Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam when he said to me, "Young man, I will teach you some words. Be mindful of Allah and He will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find Him before you. If you ask, ask from Allah. If you seek help, seek help from Allah. Know that if the nations gathered together to benefit you, they will not benefit you unless Allah has decreed it for you. And if the nations gathered together to harm you, they will not harm you unless Allah has decreed it for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried."

Poem: Five Tips To Cope With Social Anxiety

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

💌 Five tips to cope better with social anxiety, 

Or social phobia, when you feel scared excessively 

Of socializing or being judged negatively, 

Feeling like people are always staring intently, 

Mostly unable to rest due to fears and worries:

~•~

One: As His servant, fear Only Allah Almighty 

Who controls all things, including Qadr/Destiny. 

Don't let your fear of people's judgment and enmity 

Stop you from serving Allah and striving to succeed. 

Concern with people's views mustn't become blasphemy.

~•~

Two: People care more about themselves generally. 

So while at times you wonder, "What do they think of me? 

Am I presentable? Did I behave decently?", 

Some question their choices or conduct similarly. 

Why impress humans who are not perfect entirely?

~•~

Three: Say the morning and evening Adhkaar frequently. 

A stable connection with Allah can guarantee 

Stronger levels of faith/Imaan, healthy self-esteem 

So you don't deem yourself unhappy or unworthy, 

And you seek Allah's Love, not fellow slaves' flattery.

~•~

Four: Understand if you cancel an activity, 

Like asking questions during class for more clarity 

Or correcting someone's mistake done innocently, 

All because of shyness, you miss out abundantly 

On the rewards of kindness and enjoining good deeds.

~•~

Five: Negative thoughts such as, "Shut up, you're nobody. 

Don't bother talking. You'll sound nervous, unclear and weird.

Keep pretending to be busy, so they won't come near." 

Stem from our enemy shaytan who wants us to fear 

Other creations to commit shirk indirectly.

~•~

Fear just Allah Who made us, grants guidance and can shield, 

Our Creator Allah Who owns all worlds, skies and seas. 

When you feel anxious around a strict boss, skilled colleagues, 

Or someone who displays more outstanding qualities, 

Calmly breathe and tell yourself, "Allah is Greater. HasbunAllah wa Ne'm Al-Wakeel.".

~•~

📖 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."

Grade: Sahih (Authentic) according to Muslim

📖 Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Whoever among you sees evil, let him change it with his hand (by stopping it physically). If he is unable to do so, then with his tongue (verbally, by warning or speaking against that wrongdoing). If he is unable to do so, then with his heart (by at least hating the sin instead of admiring the wrongdoers), and that is the weakest level of faith."

Poem: Da'wah Is To Kindly Invite Others To Allah's Call, Not To Force Anyone To Believe.

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

💌 To fellow Muslims with loved ones whom they care about, 

To those who've got friends who do things that are disallowed, 

Who try to advise others in writing and aloud: 

We can't force people to reform, if they turn around, 

If they choose to go astray, or of their faults they're proud.

~•~

Allah the Almighty is the One With full control.

Allah is the One Who guides whom He Wills from the souls.

Our duty is to invite others to Allah's Call. 

The noble task of Da'wah is to share and inform, 

Remind, warn and educate, not to chain nor enforce.

~•~

Those friends who don't wear hijab, male relatives who smoke, 

Nieces who model and post selfies with shameless clothes, 

Nephews with girlfriends who upload indecent videos, 

Acquaintances who scam and grab items they don't own, 

And others who sin - to fix themselves they can't be forced.

~•~

Those persons who pray only when they feel like praying, 

Who while others pray Tahajjud they're out nightclubbing, 

Those who believe there's no problem with celebrating 

The so-called 'mawlid' or friends' birthday celebrations, 

And others who don't know - you can't stop their ignorance.

~•~

No matter how loud you shout to save some from falling 

Into a pit of lava, they won't pay attention 

If they're deaf, blindfolded, and don't know where they're going, 

And if Allah doesn't want to grant them His Guidance,

Or if they're immersed in shaytan's traps and temptations.

~•~

You can't convince someone if they're stuck in misguidance, 

Can't enlighten nor teach if they're jealously threatened, 

And if they see no issue in how they're behaving. 

All you can do is give advice, be understanding, 

Or offer tips if they're humble enough to listen.

~•~

Also pray for them. Don't quit, if you truly love them.

Set a good example as well, and be consistent. 

Avoid acting in ways that may arouse confusion.

Once you've enjoined right and forbade wrong, as a Muslim, 

Continue serving Allah Who knows when to guide them.

~•~
