Poem: Three Reasons Why Allah Sometimes Decrees That We Meet People Who Lack Good Character

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

💌 Three reasons why Allah sometimes decrees that we meet 

Toxic people and those who treat us improperly, 

From the weak who ignore salaams, those prone to envy, 

Those who count our flaws, those who roll their eyes when we speak, 

Those who stole from us, and haters who spread calumnies: 

~•~

One: To learn patience, get rewarded for patiently 

Tolerating trolls and troublemakers who mistreat 

Us when we're only trying to apply courtesy.

If all souls we met treated us well impressively, 

We wouldn't have discovered what patience really means.

~•~

Two: To be familiar with what it feels to receive 

Unfair treatment, awful service, and dishonesty. 

So our awareness of how bad manners are nasty 

Can remind us to deal with humans respectfully, 

Specially with fellow Muslims and one's family. 

~•~

Three: To remember to thank Allah for His Mercy, 

As good character is a gift deprived by many. 

When some souls interact with you disrespectfully, 

Realize deep inside they're disturbed, lost, unhappy, 

So they lack guts to say "Thanks", "Please", "Love you", and "Sorry".

~•~

Broken people want others wounded similarly. 

Their rudeness indicates they often feel incomplete. 

Next time someone mistreats you or acts impolitely, 

Stay patient. Thank Allah you don't have their misery.

And be inspired to behave with others more kindly.

~•~

📖 Abu Darda RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Nothing is heavier upon the scale of a believer on the Day of Resurrection than his good character. Verily, Allah hates the vulgar and obscene person (prone to wicked conduct and vile speech such as purposely telling lies, backbiting, spreading rumors)."

📖 Sa’d Ibn Abi Waqqas RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, which of the people are most severely tested?” The Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "They are the prophets, then the next best (in terms of piety), then the next best. A man is put to trial according to his Deen/religion. If he is firm in his religion, his trials will be more severe. If he is weak in his religion, he is put to trial according to his strength in religion. The servant will continue to be put to trial until he is left walking upon the earth without any sin."

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.

~•~
