Note: All Human Beings Go Through Challenges And Hardships

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

💌 Imagine yourself in these situations: 

1] After doing the groceries, you and another companion go in a taxi. Once you arrive at home, you realize that you forgot several shopping bags which you placed inside the vehicle's trunk (luggage compartment) and contacting the taxi driver is something impossible to do. 

2] For five consecutive nights you didn't have a proper sleep because you've been studying really hard to pass a board exam, which you failed in the previous year. On the day when the students are informed of their results, you don't see your name on the list of examinees who passed. Surprisingly, your friends who took their studies for granted were the ones who received the good news. 

3] You spent more than an hour cooking large amounts of spaghetti and other delicacies which you planned to bring to a long-awaited family reunion. On the way to the gathering, located in a remote village, while crossing a wooden bridge, all of the dishes you're carrying suddenly fall into the fast-flowing river when you lost your balance. 

4] As you're waiting for your flight in a crowded airport, you unknowingly switch packages with someone else who's traveling with a different airline. Upon arrival at your destination, you discover that the traveler unintentionally took your costly gifts and souvenirs, while you're wondering about what should be done with many boxes of toothpicks.

5] You're a bride who's about to marry the man of your dreams, who is simultaneously an Imaam, ustadh and engineer. Just before exiting the wedding venue with you, the groom's soul returns to Allah the Almighty, and you've become widowed on the same day you married. 

Whether you call it "bad trip", "bad luck" (Note: No such thing as luck and fortune in Islam.), "difficulty", "frustrating situation" or confirmation that your "life sucks", every human being inevitably goes through different forms of challenges, disappointments and trials. If everything on earth always went well according to all of the people's desires and wishes, and humans never felt sad or angry at all, then why would Jannah Paradise be created? 

This dunya (temporary world / life) is a platform of tests in which those who strive to be closer to Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala occasionally go through a variety of examinations to be purified from the sins they've committed in the past and present. Allah the Most Wise does not give His servants particular tests except that He knows how every individual has what it takes to withstand and pass them. 

An effective teacher would examine you according to your level and competence. The more knowledge you've acquired on specific subjects and the more competent you are in a certain field, the more the levels of your tests would increase. 

✅ What to do when something upsetting occurs: 

1] Say "QaddarAllah wa maa shaa-a fa'al." meaning "Allah has decreed what He wills." and patiently accept that whatever occured or did not occur is part of Allah's Qadr/Decree. 

2] Look forward to receiving rewards from Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala for trying your best to maintain patience. 

3] Feel relieved that Inn-sha-Allah through every hardship some of your former sins get expiated. 

4] Confidently believe that if you're one of those believers whom Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala loves, oftentimes you're granted what you dislike and prevented from what you want to avoid fitna and excessive attachment to dunya. 

5] Remember that you're not the only individual in this universe with stress, worries and problems to solve. 

Even the best and most well-mannered of all humans, namely the noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam, went through various difficulties and tough times.

📖 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."

This is not the case for anyone but for the believer. If he goes through ease (or happy moments), he thanks Allah and it is good for him. If he goes through difficulty, he shows patience and it is good for him."

Poem: I Love My Husband For Allah's Sake, Whether My Spouse Is Near, Far, Around Or Away - LDR

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

💌 On behalf of each Muslim wife who loves patiently 

Her husband for Allah's sake with utmost loyalty, 

While her soulmate is employed in another city, 

Or being a faithful co-wife is her destiny - 

Here's my response to critics who doubt our love story: 

~•~ 

The inability to see my husband daily 

And have him sleep beside me every night doesn't mean 

Our love isn't real. It's real. For Allah's sake truly 

We married. I'm his wife, even in polygyny,

While he's my other half, soulmate, friend, travel buddy. 

~•~ 

Our romance is unique, not suitable for the weak 

And insecure emotionally and morally. 

Long-distance marriages require lots of bravery, 

Boundless patience, and trust in Allah the Almighty. 

Staying loyal despite distance proves the love is real.

~•~ 

Loving a spouse who works abroad or who's frequently 

Absent when he's busy with responsibilities 

Is like the link between salt and pepper, seriously - 

They go together and reconcile eventually. 

Cringey? Corny? Maybe you're guilty of jealousy...

~•~ 

...Jealous you lack willpower to love devotedly, 

Empathy to understand him and admirably 

Refrain from mistrusting your sweetheart, especially 

When he's out often and not nearby physically, 

And true faith to accept Allah's Decree patiently.

~•~

Poem: Loyal Wives Avoid Suspecting That The Husband Is Cheating

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

💌 To each wife who married for Allah's sake sincerely: 

Please note that just because your husband has recently 

Changed his hairstyle and started working out frequently 

Does not imply he's cheating on you with somebody. 

His choice to look good is likely so you'll be more pleased. 

~•~ 

Just because he cancels dates with you regularly, 

Claiming some projects came up and he's very busy, 

Does not mean he is having affairs with a colleague 

Nor does it indicate his loyalty isn't real.

Don't doubt him just because he wants his income increased.

~•~ 

Answering your text late isn't clear testimony 

To the possibility of him wanting to cheat 

On you because of boredom or unmet sexual needs. 

Some husbands may behave strangely due to sorcery, 

Stress, or they're coerced by jealous strangers to mistreat.

~•~ 

Your husband's a human. Forgive and respect him, please. 

When some of his acts upset you, don't immediately 

Suspect his feelings for you are shared with somebody. 

In case he is certainly flirting with a lady, 

Level up your love for Allah. Greet polygyny. 

~•~ 

Advise your soulmate. Remind him to: "Fear Allah, please. 

If you're serious about that lass, love her lawfully. 

Don't play with her emotions. Allah's Justice is Real. 

I'd rather stay as your wife and see you remarry 

Than let you commit zina and spoil our love story."

~•~

Note: Differences Between People Who Were Destined To Connect With You And Those Who Remain As Strangers

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

📑 Five differences between people whom you were destined by Allah the Most Wise to connect with and those who were chosen to remain as casual acquaintances or complete strangers: 

🔗 Signs of compatible souls who were destined to be in your circle: 

💠 1] Whether you're neighbors or they reside in another city, the very first time you met personally or discovered their account on social media, you felt eager and interested in getting to know more about them. 

2] While it's clear that you have a lot of things and qualities in common, you're unable to feel jealous of their joys and achievements because overall you share the same life mission. 

3] Even if you haven't seen each other in such a long time, when you do reunite, for instance in a social gathering or virtual meeting, your conversations flow smoothly and there are no awkward moments. 

4] You perceive them as wholesome, pleasant and inspiring. If they manage some Islamic blogs, podcast series, online forums, or a YouTube channel, you put effort into checking their contents and learning from them often. 

5] You actually miss their presence whenever you haven't heard from them within a significant number of days. If you notice that they didn't update their social media account in a long time or they took a break from chatting with you for a while, you wonder if there's something wrong or at least hope they're still okay. 

⚠️ Signs that a person was not destined to be your friend, so you mustn't worry about them leaving or acting distant: 

🔻 1] Regardless of where they stay on earth, you're adamantly uninterested in visiting them and building any form of connection. Stumbling upon their names a lot on social media can't inspire you to check out their profiles and postings. In your opinion, whatever they have to say lacks significance.

2] Since their vibes generally make you feel uncomfortable, slightly envious for some reason or insecure, you feel much more at ease when they're absent. 

3] It is usually difficult to think of interesting topics to discuss with them. You'd rather find peace in reciting from the Noble Qur'an, reading a book, or watching a documentary for one hour than begrudgingly chat with them for even fifteen minutes. 

4] You easily cringe at most of their actions or get upset and annoyed by the mistakes they do. 

5] A whole year of not visiting their Facebook timeline or not seeing them face to face would pass by and still you're incapable of missing them. If their presence fails to motivate you to become a better Muslim, their absence has absolutely no influence on your well-being.

I do not say that 'Alif Laam Meem' is one letter, but rather 'Alif' is a letter, 'Laam' is a letter, and 'Meem' is a letter."
