Poem: Seven Reasons Why Divorce Is More Difficult Than Some People Think

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

💌 Seven reasons why divorce is tougher than you think, 

Why separation for some former lovers weakens 

Their faith/Imaan and may cause their future to worsen, 

Specially if the divorcees share cherished moments, 

Cute children, and some of their relatives remain friends: 

~•~

One: Divorcing requires signing lots of documents, 

Having interviews or conducting tiring meetings, 

Applying for new IDs, editing one's current 

Marital status on vast social media platforms, 

And such tasks can take time if one spouse isn't present.

~•~

Two: Divorce doesn't always have an easy ending. 

Often there may be more fights, drama, and arguments, 

Including issues pertaining to given items, 

Wanting all of one's furniture, things and gifts returned, 

And who takes permanent custody of the children.

~•~ 

Three: Women who take care of the kids of ex-husbands 

May not completely move on if they are still sharing 

Time spent with the kids and their dad's visits are frequent, 

And even after divorce, he still needs to finance 

And support his children to ensure he's not sinning. 

~•~ 

Four: A woman whose ex chose to leave her may become 

Less friendly with married women, or less confident, 

And reducing interactions with her married friends, 

So their stories don't remind her of her ex-husband, 

Could be her way of coping with her separation. 

~•~

Five: A woman who felt close to her former husband 

May decide to grant new proposals swift rejection, 

While waiting for her first lover with steadfast patience, 

And praying that her ex proposes to her again. 

Divorcing a loyal wife doesn't solve one's problems.

~•~ 

Six: A divorcee attending social gatherings, 

Shopping, or while walking outdoors, if Allah destines, 

May come across her ex or strangers who look like him, 

Or from concerned acquaintances she receives questions 

On her divorce, which can be stressful and distressing.

~•~ 

Seven: Breaking up with someone whom you loved loving 

And in your heart there remains deep affection for him, 

Can feel devastating, disturbed you let shaytan win, 

Defeated by shaytan who rejoiced in your splitting, 

And you regret letting go of rewarding patience. 

~•~ 

It's better to stay as your husband's wife who's patient, 

Understanding of his flaws, distance, tough employment, 

Weaknesses, regular absence, or limitations, 

While Allah the Most Loving loves your persevering,

And you patiently pray for your husband's improvement.

~•~

📖 Jabir RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, shaytan places his throne over the water and he sends out his troops. The closest to him in rank are the greatest at causing tribulations (mischief, trouble). One of them says: 'I have done this and this.' shaytan says: 'you have done nothing.' Another one says: 'I did not leave this man alone until I separated him from his wife.' shaytan embraces him and he says: 'you have done well!'"

Poem: Some Tips For Coping With "Falling In Love" Easily

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

💌 If there comes a time when you decide to put a stop 

To catching feelings or easily falling in love, 

Because it hurts to want a crush who won't chase you back 

And zina is one of shaytan's most destructive traps, 

Migrate to a distant place far from human contact.

~•~ 

Controlling your gaze is one way to protect your heart. 

The more you avoid staring at souls who can attract, 

While disciplining your nafs through fasting Sunnah fasts, 

The easier it gets to tell your desires "Shut up. 

Lust isn't real love if from Allah's Path it distracts." 

~•~

It's a test if you "fall in love" with souls you can't have. 

Imagine a spacious land where many holes are dug, 

In each hole are creatures that can grab or keep you stuck, 

And if you lack Taqwa, you're blindfolded as you walk, 

And the minute you stumble, it's hard to climb back up.

~•~ 

Shield your heart with the fortress of Dhikr and Du'as, 

Frequent reading from the Noble Qur'an, Istighfaar, 

Frequently praying Tahajjud when the skies are dark, 

And stay away from fitna, as smart soldiers at war 

Would retreat or turn around when they spot a clear trap.

~•~ 

Also recall the reality of death a lot, 

And visualize the outcomes of every sinful act. 

Zina is like trash that's kept in a pretty gift box. 

Your faith/Imaan remain safe if you leave it untouched, 

And prefer everlasting bliss in Jannah above.

Poem: What Can A Muslim Do In Times Of Rising Fitna?

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

💌 Do you miss the times when there was no covid-nineteen, 

Whether it's a pandemic or weird conspiracy, 

A plot to ensure that the populace would decrease, 

To restrict most from steady jobs or freedom of speech, 

Or it's a true disease which spreads with Allah's Decree? 

~•~ 

Do you miss going out to visit your family 

And friends, even when there wasn't any special need? 

When you could attend Islamic gatherings freely, 

Go shopping without constantly showing your ID, 

And hug your loved ones without guilt or hesitancy?

~•~ 

Do you long for those days to come back eventually, 

When parents don't have to stress out with their kids' studies, 

When students can take their assignments more seriously, 

When most examinees won't be urged to lie and cheat, 

And teachers can resume disciplining properly? 

~•~

Are you tired of worrying if certain news are real, 

If you should side with the majority that agrees 

To get the vaccine eagerly and without worry, 

Or if you must listen to those with a theory 

That this crisis is some kind of trick or case study? 

~•~ 

Despite challenges and trials you see frequently, 

Always trust Allah and fear just Him the Almighty.

Know that earth and tests in this world are temporary. 

To succeed in both worlds, win Allah's Love and Mercy, 

Prepare to meet Allah, increase Du'a and good deeds.

~•~

Poem: How To Treat Dishonest And Untrustworthy Individuals

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

💌 If you work with chronic liars who tend to tell lies 

Oftentimes to stroke their ego, keep you satisfied, 

Or they're trying to flee from more works and verbal fights, 

How would you deal with their likes while remaining polite? 

Ways to cope with untrustworthy people in your life: 

~•~ 

With those who lie a lot and break promises sometimes, 

Minimize needless talks. In the way you speak stay wise. 

When clarifying matters and greeting be concise. 

Decline them as potential close friends if they deny 

Any truth and they've disrespected you more than thrice. 

~•~ 

To shopping, outings and gatherings you've organized 

Don't invite them, and on them never ever rely. 

Respond to their gossip by pushing nonsense aside, 

Ignore the rumors they spread, to their jokes don't reply, 

And to their rehearsed acts, react with a quiet smile.

~•~  

By their delayed replies or ignoring you online 

Don't be surprised. Liars are cowards most of the time. 

If they're scared of confrontation, they'll attempt to hide 

Or avoid you, and hope that you'll soon vanish from sight. 

~•~ 

If they fail to fulfill your rights or take your advice, 

While their choice to quit lying can't be sure anytime, 

Stop making deals with them, don't make expectations high, 

And no matter how many times they betray and lie, 

Remain truthful for Allah. Don't copy their bad vibes.

~•~

📖 Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "You must be truthful. Verily, truthfulness leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise. A man continues to be truthful and encourages honesty until he is recorded with Allah as a truthful person. And beware of falsehood. Verily, falsehood leads to wickedness and wickedness leads to the Hellfire. A man continues to tell lies and encourages falsehood until he is recorded with Allah as a liar."

Poem: What Does Actual Happiness Look Like? What Does It Mean To Be Happy?

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

💌 What does joy look like? What does it mean to be happy? 

Enjoying a delightful meal with your family? 

Traveling abroad with them while your fam is complete? 

Receiving messages from a crush surprisingly 

And chatting as you laugh out loud occasionally? 

~•~ 

Completing episodes from your fave TV series? 

Discussing with close friends what you've learned from a movie? 

Winning a game and knowing how clever you can be? 

Listening to your favorite songs repeatedly? 

Touching yourself indecently then feeling filthy? 

~•~

It's not actual joy if it lasts momentarily. 

It's not real delight if it's enjoyed only briefly. 

Since dunya is a test, and this world's temporary, 

And the pleasures on earth disappear eventually, 

We believe that perfect bliss is in Jannah, not here.

~•~ 

Actions which are followed by instances when you feel 

Guilty, disgusted by what you did ignorantly, 

Or worried that some souls may expose your sinful feats 

Aren't deeds that can guarantee joy felt inwardly. 

Displeasing Allah with pride simply breeds misery.

~•~ 

To be happy from within, or contented at least:

Live life to please Allah and accept His Destiny, 

Read the Qur'an often, pray on time and properly, 

Study Islam, say Du'a and Adhkaar frequently, 

Treat Allah's slaves well, and don't oppress anybody.

~•~

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."
