Poem: So You Divorced? You Can Remarry Twice If You Still Have Feelings For The Guy

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 To that woman who seems to take pride in giving up 
Loving the spouse whom Allah chose for her from above, 
Ungrateful, impatient, so love was easily dropped, 
Like a child that discards an unfinished lollipop, 
And she regards herself as "ideal"... Breaker of knots?
~•~
So you're an "ideal Muslimah" if you just give up? 
If you demand divorce when the journey gets too tough? 
If you stop loving your spouse because he loves his job? 
Coz he's not rich enough? Or the in-laws are too much? 
Coz he's not perfect? Not your clone? What, to be exact?
~•~
If you sought joy through marriage, you already messed up. 
Marriage doesn't assure that in life there won't be probs. 
In fact, when you marry, expect trials and mishaps. 
Marriage is a gift with many tests you aim to pass, 
Like swords need consistent care to ensure they don't rust.
~•~
FYI, once you're divorced, did you know this or not, 
In Islam you can remarry twice, resume the pact, 
Forgive each other for Allah's sake and start from scratch? 
This shows the virtues of loyalty, not giving up, 
Patience and contentment with the blessings that one has.
~•~
Not condoning abuse. Just warning against "fake love" 
And informing you that love can't last if these you lack: 
Sincere niyyah to marry and help your other half, 
Sabr and empathy, specially when times are rough, 
And awareness your husband ain't a bank nor robot.
~•~

Poem: On Giving More Importance To Learning Arabic Than Other Languages

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Isn't it strange how some people have the willingness, 
Enthusiasm, perseverance, and eagerness 
To learn a foreign language like Japanese, Turkish, 
French or Korean, yet when it comes to Arabic, 
They claim they're "too busy" or it's too "complicated". 
~•~
Some watch French films or Korean drama with keenness, 
And when they get invited to study Arabic, 
They'd react with a "not now" or "I'll think about it". 
Of access to Arabic classes take advantage, 
Self-study and research, or learn from speakers native.
~•~
Studying foreign languages may be meaningless 
If learning doesn't come with merit and good purpose, 
And one's aim is to increase pride or social status, 
Not to do Da'wah, communicate with relatives, 
Or translate helpful books into a certain language.
~•~
From the reasons that encourage learning Arabic: 
To understand Allah's Message, the Qur'an's verses, 
To follow how Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) supplicated, 
To benefit from writings with authentic knowledge, 
And know the meanings behind Adhkaar frequently said.
~•~
Learn other languages if you like, but don't neglect 
Efforts to be near Allah through learning Arabic. 
Watch useful videos, listen to lectures recorded, 
Learn new words and implement the lessons you've studied, 
With sincere motives to earn blessings throughout your quest.
~•~

Tips: Never Compare Your Lifestyle And Current Situation To People's Controlled Online Content

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Never compare your life story to someone's controlled online posts, photos carefully edited to impress others and number of likes they receive on their Facebook timeline. An album of a friend's recent trip to an exotic country abroad shouldn't make you feel like you're lacking something. A stranger's video uploaded on YouTube showcasing their grand, extravagant and fabulous wedding held at a luxury hotel mustn't cause you to forget the memorable occasion when you and your husband got married by Allah's Will in the Islamic way that pleases Him. A woman's beautiful facial features and perfectly slim figure do not cancel out the fact that you also look good, since Allah the Almighty created you beautifully to appear unique and distinguished from the rest of His creation. A user receiving more likes on most of their status updates or they have more subscribers on their YouTube channel than you doesn't mean you lack significant value. What people choose to do and display on the internet should never threaten your self-esteem nor decrease your contentment, level of faith/Imaan and gratitude. Stay grateful to Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala for the gifts which He wisely selected for you. Even the most happiest or wealthiest group of individuals on earth have their own set of dilemma, struggles and worries. Nobody in this temporal dunya has everything going on smoothly 24/7. While a Facebook user or YouTuber may seem like they're living a perfect life, offline they could be struggling with different problems and a mountain load of stress, trying their best to survive and maintain forced smiles at times.
Being Muslim Alhamdulillah should suffice you to recall that perfection, eternal bliss and actual happiness can only be achieved in Jannah Paradise.

Poem: Three Qualities Common Among Those With A Weak Personality

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Three things that signal one's personality is weak, 
Even if they appear tough, seem happy spuriously, 
Keep many friends, or claim they don't get hurt easily,
Three qualities that cause a person to act like sheep, 
Unable to lead as if they're designed for defeat: 
~•~
One - They bully, conceal weaknesses by acting mean, 
And with lack of self-control they're ready to demean, 
To bash this unjustly, and ridicule that one's dream. 
Pros at gossiping and whining about what they've seen, 
Their foul speech may reveal hearts that are for now unclean. 
~•~
Two - They fear people more than Allah the Almighty, 
Can't make firm decisions without consulting firstly 
Those whom they admire to provoke those whom they envy. 
They stop wearing hijaab if it inspires mockery, 
And they're scared to pray on time, unless there's company.
~•~
Three - They try to complete tasks almost begrudgingly. 
Outwardly they'd agree to something when inwardly 
They hate you, or feel like they've been treated unfairly. 
Weak people lack willingness to help, sincerity, 
And strength to decline requests which clash with their beliefs.
~•~
So you're not with those whose personality is weak: 
Do your best to please Only Allah the Almighty. 
Defend the oppressed. Treat all with justice and mercy.
Be the kind of servant whom Allah wants us to be.
Don't be afraid to share the truth when necessary.
~•~
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong are not the best at wrestling. Verily, the strong are only those who control themselves when they are angry."

Sahih Muslim 2609
Grade: Muttafaqun Alayhi (Authenticity agreed upon) according to Al-Bukhari and Muslim
📖 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."

Poem: The Benefits Of Praying Tahajjud Regularly, Specially During Times Of Fitna

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 A day without having prayed Tahajjud earlier 
Does not seem as blessed as when you've prayed the night prayer. 
Without Qiyaam Al-Layl, Fajr, and morning Dhikr, 
One feels like a warrior in battle without armor, 
Without a shield, without a sword, not even dagger. 
~•~
They're like an unarmed fighter or defenseless soldier 
Who can mostly hide or flee from potential danger, 
Susceptible to being misled by some pranksters, 
Prone to making mistakes which one may regret later, 
And behaving improperly if one lacks Sabr. 
~•~
One means to safety if you missed the late night prayer, 
Alongside trusting Allah our God and Creator, 
Is to say Adhkaar, pray Fajr then Duha prayer, 
And strive to stay strong for Allah, just like a warrior 
Can still use his fists to overthrow his contenders.
~•~
The more often you pray Tahajjud, the more rewards 
You gain, and the more good deeds there are in your record, 
And the more Allah loves you, the more you have Sabr, 
The more your intuition is spot-on or stronger, 
And things to avoid for your wellness become clearer.  
~•~
While most are asleep at night or chilling with dancers, 
Join the special few sincere Muslims and believers 
Who pause their sleep to enjoy peace in late night prayers. 
Pray Tahajjud not only so your life gets better, 
But so your status in Jannah can be much higher.
~•~
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Our Rabb (Allah the Almighty) descends to the lowest heaven in the last third of every night, and He (Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) says: 'Who is calling upon Me so that I may answer him? Who is asking from Me so that I may give him? Who is seeking My Forgiveness so that I may forgive him?'"

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Allah the Almighty said: 'Whoever shows hostility (enmity) to a righteous friend of Mine, I have declared war upon him. My servant does not grow closer to Me with anything more beloved to Me than the obligatory duties that I have imposed upon him. My servant continues to grow closer to Me with extra good works (nawaafil deeds like praying Tahajjud and fasting Sunnah fasts) until I love him. When I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes, and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask something from Me, I would surely give it to him. Were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant it to him. I do not hesitate to do anything as I hesitate to take the soul of the believer, for he hates death and I hate to disappoint him.'"
