Poem: Actual Victory Isn't In Attaining Many Worldly Joys But In Achieving Allah's Love And Entry To Jannah Paradise

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

💌 Since Allah the Almighty made us to worship Him,
On Judgment Day we won't be asked about worldly things.
About how much we enjoyed life we won't be questioned,
But rather how we lived to worship Allah our King,
And how well we passed Allah's tests in avoiding sins.
~•~
Allah may not ask us about how much we've eaten,
How many cities we have traveled to, how often
We went shopping and filled wardrobes with fancy garments,
But we may be asked about how we earned the income
And how kind we were with the wealth Allah has given.
~•~
Allah may not question us if our education
Led to earning degrees, impressive social standing,
And opportunities to boost one's reputation,
But we may be asked on our intention in learning
And what we did with the knowledge Allah has given.
~•~
Allah may not inquire about how much amusement
And entertainment were gained in chilling with loved ones,
But Allah may ask about intentional actions,
Decisions made, deliberately stated statements,
And if we worked hard to please Allah or His servants.
~•~
Since we won't be asked about material enjoyment,
It makes no sense to stress over what's impermanent.
Awards or credentials won't carry significance
On the Day of Judgment. What can guarantee triumph
Are faith/Imaan, righteous deeds, and sincere intentions.
~•~

Note: The Probability For Some Souls Of The Living To Communicate With Some Of The Souls Of Those Who Died Through Dreams

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

🗒️ Allah the Almighty knows best.

The closer you are to Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, the more truthful your dreams will be. It is possible for some souls of the living to communicate with some of the souls of those who have passed away through special dreams. For instance if you see a deceased loved one or friend shedding tears in a dream, looking worried, or begging you to accompany them someplace, maybe they require more Du'as for them or you can 

Inn-sha-Allah relieve their current condition by making sure that they have completed paying all their debts if they have any. 

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "When the end of time approaches (before the Day of Judgment), the dream of a believer can hardly be false. The dream of a believer is one of forty-six parts of prophecy and whatever is from prophecy cannot be false."

In another narration, the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The most truthful of you are those with the truest dreams. There are three types of vision. The righteous vision is glad tidings from Allah, the distressful vision is from shaytan, and the vision arising from oneself. If one of you sees something he dislikes, let him stand to pray and not speak to people about it."

📖 'Urwah ibn Al-Zubayr RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Aisha RadhiAllahu 'anha would say when she intended to sleep, "O Allah, I ask You for good and true dreams, not false dreams, beneficial (useful dreams) and not harmful." When she said this, they knew that she would not say anything more until she awoke in the morning or in the middle of the night.

Tips: Five Reasons To Quit Smoking

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

📑 Five reasons to quit smoking for Allah's sake: 

1] It has been medically proven that smoking is dangerous for one's health, to the smoker and those surrounding chronic smokers. 

2] Purchasing packs of cigarettes can be very wasteful since there is no actual benefit in buying items which gradually destroy the buyers. If you decide to stop smoking, you can also save a large amount of money in the long run. 

3] By discontinuing smoking, you play a part in trying to make the environment healthier and safer for Allah's creations. 

4] Your decision to give up smoking for Allah's sake, no matter how difficult it may be in the beginning, can be one of the best deeds which you'd do to receive more of Allah's Love and attain a beautiful entry to Jannah Paradise where you can enjoy whatever you desire. 

5] There is no evidence stating that smoking was encouraged or widespread among the Sahabas / companions RadhiAllahu 'anhum and the beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam himself didn't instruct us Muslims to smoke cigars or consume obviously harmful substances.

Poem: Be More Concerned About How Pure Your Heart Is Than How You Appear Outwardly

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

💌 The similitude of those who seem "clean" outwardly 

Yet they carry dirty thoughts and their hearts are filthy 

Is that of a golden treasure chest and it's empty, 

Within are cobwebs of wounded pride, greed and envy.

~•~

Better to be average-looking with a heart that's clean 

Than appear grand while concealing ugly qualities, 

From constantly hating on others enviously 

And gossiping to accusing Muslims unfairly.

~•~

If you're blessed with a pure heart, you wouldn't be guilty

Of doubting other Muslims' intentions unjustly, 

Disdaining someone's gifts, disliking Allah's Decree, 

Lying, starting fights, and backbiting despicably.

~•~

Clean minds think "MashaAllah" when Muslims are happy, 

Don't invent rumors when some behave incorrectly 

But sense pity, so they advise and remind kindly.

Clean hearts care for Allah's sake - with justice and mercy.

~•~

Souls beautified with clean hearts steer clear of all of these: 

Arrogance - demanding service meant for VIPs,

Serving one's ego - not forgiving, too hard to please,

And acting as though one sees the whys of people's deeds.

~•~

To have a clean heart: Do good for Allah sincerely.

Be teachable. Don't roll your eyes when a Muslim speaks.

Leave toxic vibes found in those who act impudently.

Train yourself to not feel jealous of others' journeys.

~•~

The cleaner your heart is, the more you can readily

Say Dhikr, accept truth, detect real from fallacies, 

Obey Allah regardless of His slaves' enmity, 

And avoid misjudging hearts, as that's not your duty.

~•~

If he abandons the sin, seeks forgiveness, and repents, then his heart will be polished. If he returns to the sin, the blackness will be increased until it overcomes his heart. It is the covering that Allah has mentioned: 'No, rather a covering is over their hearts from what they have earned.' (The Noble Qur'an 83:14)"

What is a heart swept clean?” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "One that is mindful of Allah and pure, in which there is no sin, nor aggression, nor envy." We said, “Who shows a sign of it?” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "One who hates worldliness and loves the Hereafter." They said, “And who shows a sign of it?” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "A believer with good character."
