Poem: Why I Despise Divorce Even Though It Is Halal

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

💌 Why I hesitate to ask my husband for divorce, 

Even though it is halal if problems can't be solved: 

I believe that the man whom Allah the Most Wise chose 

As my soulmate inspires my love for Allah to grow, 

Specially through Du'as when my man's not always close.

~•~

I believe there's wisdom in Allah bringing us both. 

Through this marriage, thanks to Allah, I have learned and known 

The sweet outcomes of patience with what Allah bestows, 

Polygyny's role in inspiring spiritual growth, 

And how real love is shown when you forgive your man's faults.

~•~

It's not that I don't have the guts to beg for divorce. 

I'd rather focus on a rose's scent and colors 

Than be a dreary critic that whines about its thorns. 

I'd rather keep a gift from Allah than have it thrown, 

More so if throwing it away just leads to remorse.

~•~

"He's busy, not abusive.", "He clearly didn't know.", 

"Yes, at times he may be too preoccupied with work, 

But I'm aware he's got other dreams, concerns and goals. 

As his wife, I don't want to be the cause of his hurt, 

His tears, weakened level of faith, and feelings of guilt."

~•~

If ever we split up, I'd only wish to return, 

Research ways to have wedding two with my husband first, 

Refusing to quit as I wasn't born a coward. 

As a Muslimah who strives to value Allah's Laws, 

I believe marriage stays strong when it's for Allah's Love.

Poem: Some Tips To Cope With Being Despised By Some People

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

💌 Some souls are like the sneeze; when they leave, we thank Allah, 

For shielding us from their bad vibes that invite fitna, 

From their frequent lies, fakery, gheeba, nameema, 

And their disinterest in striving towards Jannah. 

Like parasites, they bring nothing but stress and mishaps.

~•~

Some are like chewing gum, with flavor that can't last long. 

Temporary, good for seasons that can't be prolonged, 

Brief friendships often occur when one person is prone 

To jealousy, feeling insecure, threatened or bored, 

And proud refusal to forgive a non-robot's wrongs.

~•~

The likeness of certain users who choose to unfriend, 

Block your account, or depart from group chats you attend, 

Is that of dead cells which snakes shed to renew their skins,

Or dry leaves which fall from trees when they're shoved by strong winds.

No difference can be spotted, with or without them.

~•~

Tips to cope better with those whose goals conflict with yours: 

Focus on loving Allah, and love Allah the most. 

Recall Prophet Nuh ('alaihis salaam) and how not many showed support. 

By knowing Allah is with us, we won't feel alone. 

Solitude is sweeter than rapport which makes life worse. 

~•~

People in general click with those they relate to. 

Thus, if you're unique or stand out, close friends may be few. 

And that's perfectly fine, when you have Allah with you. 

In the end, what join us when we die are deeds we do, 

Not our fam, not our fans nor VIPs we once knew.

~•~

Note: Muslim Females Are Allowed To Perform Sajdah At-Tilaawah And Sajdat Ash-Shukr Even If They Have Their Monthly Period

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

📜 Question: Can a woman who has her monthly period or postpartum menstruation perform Sujood At-Tilaawah (prostration when reaching the Sajdat At-Tilaawah symbol while reading with gloves from the Noble Qur'an, on mobile, website or Tafseer) and Sujood Ash-Shukr (prostration of expressing gratitude and thanks to Allah the Almighty)?

📝 Answer: There is no problem, because it is not a condition to have wudhu/ablution to perform the Sujood At-Tilaawah and Sujood Ash-Shukr. They do not require that a person be in a state of purity. Therefore she can do Sujood while reading (even if a Muslimah has her menses). Yes.

From the Fataawa of sheikh AbdulAziz Ibn Baz (May Allah have mercy on him. Ameen.)

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The servant is closest to his Rabb (Lord Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) during (Sujood/Sajdah) prostration, so increase your supplications therein."

Poem: Some Lessons We Can Learn From Battles Of Badr And Uhud

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

💌 Sharing seven lessons from Islamic history, 

From the battle of Badr, took place on seventeenth 

Of Ramadan while the Muslims were fasting, bravely 

Fighting falsehood, and defending Allah and Tawheed, 

And battle of Uhud where they later faced defeat, 

~•~

Not to condone violence, uproar and anarchy, 

But to inspire Muslims to strengthen in piety, 

To increase good deeds to serve Allah the Almighty, 

To recall Allah is the One Who grants victory 

And in good times and trials there are lessons to teach:

~•~

One: Success doesn't depend on numbers, quantity, 

And physical strength, but purpose, faith and quality. 

Three hundred or so warriors can beat larger armies 

If they fully believe in Allah and they're sincere, 

Unafraid to fight Allah's foes from their families.

~•~

Two: When competing, don't be too certain you'll succeed. 

Don't be overly confident, pridefully haughty, 

Underestimating the skills of your enemies. 

Remember your achievements come from Allah Only, 

And Allah hates it when His slaves act arrogantly.

~•~

Three: Allah sees what you go through. Allah never sleeps. 

Allah's Justice comes at the best time ultimately, 

Like that moment when Bilal ibn Rabah fiercely 

Avenged himself and his belief at the battlefield 

Against Umayyah ibn Khalaf who disbelieved.

~•~

Four: To thrive in both worlds, faithfully support our Deen, 

Adhere to the Sunnah (of Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) with courage and loyalty, 

And detach from dunya to avoid indignity.

Loss and failures usually stem from material greed, 

Distance from Islam and not taking it seriously.

~•~

Five: Regardless of someone's age or they appear weak, 

They can be powerful with Allah's Will and Decree. 

Abu Jahal was struck by someone seen as puny, 

Abdullah bin Mas'ood and two young boys in their teens 

Who fought for Allah's sake with noteworthy bravery.

~•~

Six: Despite your efforts and many attempts to flee 

From some people, you must deal with them if it's decreed, 

Like Abu 'Ubaidah ibn Al-Jarrah when he 

Kept avoiding his father but got him finally. 

His love for Allah and His Prophet (Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) was more, clearly.

~•~

Seven: Abu Sufyan, wise Khalid bin Al-Waleed, 

'Amr ibn Al-'Aas, 'Ikramah son of a chief 

Also son of Abu Jahl, they all previously 

Fought Muslims before Allah saved them from unbelief. 

Believe that Allah guides whom He wills by His Mercy.

~•~

📖 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 (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) 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: Fasting Isn't Just Refraining From Eating And Drinking But Also From Wicked Acts And Talks As Much As Possible

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

💌 To those still glued to grudge and plotting verbal revenge, 

Who haven't changed a bit apart from their resentment 

Growing gradually despite Ramadan's commencement: 

What do you gain from attaining other Muslims' sins 

When you stalk their posts and react with shameful rantings?

~•~

Fasting for Allah is supposed to improve you, but 

It seems you haven't learned yet why we Muslims should fast. 

Fasting isn't just leaving drinks and edible stuff 

From dawn to dusk but also from wicked talks and acts, 

To obey Allah's Commands and achieve Allah's Love. 

~•~

Debating, inventing foul jokes to make readers laugh, 

Posting surly status updates as implied comebacks 

To bandage one's big ego that's been wounded a lot, 

And stalking the timelines of users whom you begrudge 

To count their faults just harms you. Please, morally grow up. 

~•~

For Allah's sake, if someone's good vibes get on your nerves, 

If a Muslim's frequent updates and presence disturb, 

Or to insult those whom you hate you have constant urge, 

Simply don't check their profiles. Don't scrutinize their words. 

Decline their calls to fight. Let them argue with themselves. 

~•~

Visualize them as mosquitoes trying to bother. 

Either you walk away or smack them with your Sabr, 

Slap them with your indifference, aware it's better 

To ditch childish quarrels than nurture bitter haters. 

Your foes can greet Allah's Justice sooner or later.

~•~

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "When one of you wakes up in the morning for fasting, then he should not use obscene language or behave foolishly. If anyone insults him or fights with him, he should say: 'Indeed, I am fasting. I am fasting.'"

Then, the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said to me, "Young man, that is my Sunnah. Whoever revives my Sunnah has loved me, and whoever loves me will be with me in Paradise."
