Poem: I Do Not Regret My Marriage Life As It's A Gift And Trust From Allah The Most Wise

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 
💌 Don't get me wrong. When I state this, I truly mean it - 
Alhamdulillah. I'm contented with my marriage, 
Satisfied with the man whom Allah has selected 
As my other half and soulmate. I don't regret it - 
Being closer to Allah is what keeps this love blessed. 
~•~
I'm contented with this marriage so much so that if 
All "marriage coaches" on earth gathered and instructed
"Leave him. There are plenty of guys out there. Don't obsess 
Over one who's too busy and by work distracted, 
Who's not around a lot and broke more than one promise.",
~•~
I'd respond with: Are you serious? You think I'm stupid 
Enough to ditch my husband for some mistakes he did 
As if I am "perfect" while he's the one defective, 
As if the next guy I marry won't be imperfect
But a sub who'll grant me all my wishes and requests? 
~•~
Are you that idiotic to guess that I said yes 
To my husband's marriage proposal to achieve bliss 
Through his wealth as if money is what brings happiness? 
I married him for Allah, and I don't regret this - 
Being closer to Allah is what keeps our love blessed. 
~•~
Even if most days of each year my husband is missed, 
Even if sympathizers can't describe him as rich, 
And even if others' "love journeys" make me "jealous", 
I won't quit on him. For Allah's sake I'm contented
With Allah's choice. This love begets blessings, not regret.
~•~

Poem: To Those Who Enjoy Gossiping About Me, I Can Tell You're Jealous

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
📝 To the bashers out there who stalk my posts frequently 
With bitterness, awareness they're guilty of envy
And eagerness to gossip and bully childishly, 
Who seem shaky when I'm nearby yet they cowardly 
Diss me in my absence so their ego is appeased: 
~•~
I can tell you're jealous. Don't deny it. It's so clear - 
Your envy is like elephants hiding nervously
Behind a leafless tree, or like a frightened monkey 
Trying to conceal itself beneath a tiny leaf. 
You're jealous, and you know it. Your rudeness makes it clear. 
~•~
Your envy is shown each time you roll your eyes at me 
When I speak or try to contribute generously
To most group conversations, and you'd appear to me 
As if you often grumble to yourself "why does she 
Feel the need to brag and prove she's better constantly?" 
~•~
It's so obvious, your exasperating jealousy, 
When you exclude me from planned gatherings purposely, 
When you break promises a lot, when you feel the need 
To point out my flaws and criticize my family, 
When you recruit more clowns to partake in your envy, 
~•~
And when I discover how you've been regularly
Talking badly about me to heal your jealousy. 
You're jealous because I'm okay with polygyny, 
My parents are educated while yours probably
Failed to teach you basic manners and integrity, 
~•~
You despise how my husband deserves my loyalty, 
How he's a doctor who owned many cars previously 
And tries his best to improve in faith and piety, 
And you envy how I don't keep him for his money
But I want him with me in Jannah eternally.
~•~
You're jealous. Even if you won't admit it, it's clear - 
Your envy - when you mention my name negatively
Or treat me rudely so your frail ego is relieved. 
Collect all my sins each time you backbite about me.
I forgive and distance myself from your misery. 
~•~

Note: Indicators Of Jealousy On Social Media And While Chatting

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

📝 Subtle and obvious signs that a person may be intensely jealous of you regardless of their age through chatting and social media: 
1] Although they claim to be educated and frequently capitalize the first letter of other individuals' names while chatting or commenting on posts, you notice an absurd pattern in them consistently misspelling your name (even though your correctly spelled name may be evident in your username) or typing it incorrectly all too often, as though they're desperate to show disrespect in any way to alleviate their unpleasant feelings of jealousy towards you and your blessings. 
2] While they regularly try to answer other Muslims' salaams online or on chat groups, they seem to be obnoxiously consistent in answering your messages or posts without responding to your salaams. Intentionally ignoring your greetings online and face to face may be their strange coping mechanism with debilitating feelings of extreme envy. 
3] If they're part of a chat group which you're a member of, they are consistently nonreactive or silent whenever you share some beneficial content or ask questions. However, as soon as you make a mistake or forward certain misinformation, they excitedly point out your errors, publicly scold or criticize you in the main body of the group chat instead of correcting or advising you one-on-one, and they do this a lot. Envious people would do whatever they can to upset you to enjoy a temporary feeling of "superiority".
4] On a regular basis they deliberately leave you out when tagging a number of users (on some of their status updates or while conversing in a chat group) who are your mutual acquaintances and you all were active participants in the same activity, despite being fully aware of your account and presence in the group conversation. 
5] You've never received a single compliment or congratulatory message from them whenever you shared joyful moments or uplifting news, in spite of them being "connected" with you on social media, and if ever you express gratitude to Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala or display any form of joy for an achievement, you've heard them say something like "you're just lucky", "good for you. I'm so jealous of you now", "jeez, why are you such a show-off?", "stop being narcissistic" or "whatever".

Poem: Not Lonely. Just Inspired By Allah To Leave Those Who Failed To Prove They Are Trustworthy.

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 
📜 Trust me when I say this, I'm not the type that's clingy. 
I don't need the love of flawed humans to feel complete, 
Don't expect them to respect me while they frequently
Deal with foul envy and loads of insecurities, 
And I won't wait for them to greet me consistently.
~•~
Once I start believing that someone's untrustworthy, 
Unworthy of my trust, affection and energy, 
I gladly avoid them for Allah the Almighty,
As much as possible, to preserve my well-being. 
Their posts no longer appear on my Facebook news feed.
~•~
I unfollow them online, and offline don't go near 
Them as often as I can, not out of pride and fear 
But because I believe that Allah's Love is more dear 
To me than allowing toxic actors with severe 
Attachment to dunya to disrupt my goals and dreams.
~•~
Yes they distract me at times when they chat aimlessly, 
Discuss pointless matters, yap about "celebrities", 
Gossip about those whom they're jealous of intensely,
And decline invites when I ask them to learn with me 
More about Islam so our faith Imaan can increase.
~•~
The wrong pals are like leeches that watch you as you bleed. 
You're better off without their lies, lousy tendency
To deceive you and mislead, and without their appeals
To receive your loyalty for their clear fakery. 
Not "lonely". Blessed by Allah to leave tomfoolery.
~•~
