POEM: Choose Your Friends Wisely

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful


Stay friendly in general, with manners blessed,
Trustworthy at all times, ready to assist,
Forgiving, willing to let needless fights rest,
Useful and helping Muslims in various tests.
______________________
To be someone's friend is to give them your love,
To be their support in their good times or tough,
To benefit each other while them you trust,
Of the advice they share you can't get enough.
______________________
True friends want to see you do well in both worlds.
When you're wrong, they're not scared to correct nor scold.
As you spend more time with them, lessons unfold.
You find yourself improving through knowledge told.
______________________
Shun those who don't welcome reminders from you,
Evil friends who don't care about what they do,
Bad pretenders who make you doubt if they're true,
And flaky fakes not caring what you through.
______________________
It's not about those making you laugh or smile.
It's Islam and sincerity which God likes.
Righteousness, faith and trust make friendship worthwhile.
Real friends stand by your side towards Paradise.

Allah the Almighty knows best.

May Allah the Most Merciful accept all our good deeds, forgive all our wrongdoings, answer our du'as and reunite us with our Muslim loved ones in Jannatul Firdaus next to Him and His beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu alaihi wa sallam. Allahumma Innaka 'Afuwwun Kareemun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu 'annaa. Ameen.

POEM: Qualities That Make Some Muslimahs Special

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful


MashaAllah, sisters like her, who are they?
Muslims smart enough to know Allah and pray,
Brave enough to wear hijaab, love modesty,
Both leaders and learners when they need to be.
__________
They can balance between being strong and soft,
With wisdom, not feelings, they choose who to love.
They can speak for hours if you're worth talking to.
At times they're quiet. Always they're in Wudhoo.
__________
Their smiles are genuine, served as charity.
Their tears fall as proof of their sincerity,
When they talk to Allah about the Ummah
And supplicate to be near Him in Jannah.
__________
These are Muslims always ready to obey
Our God Allah, and they await Judgment Day.
Knowing that all acts return to their doers,
They avoid bullying and stubborn sinners.
__________
They are unique, not like the majority.
Those they repel carry lies, doubt or envy.
Sometimes they take lead in groups they don't fit in.
Other times they walk away to avoid sins.
__________
They are Muslimahs who strive for Allah's sake,
Doing good deeds and showing others God's Way.
Enemies who hate them only gain their wrongs.
Sunnah lovers, to be in Jannah they long.
__________
May Allah Almighty join us with His friends,
Who are guided and do good without pretense,
Whose name will be called among those who succeed
In Jannatul Firdaus - our sweet destiny. Ameen.

SONNET: Maintaining Family Relations

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful


Alhamdulillah from my father's side
Are cousins and aunties I can talk to.
We may not see each other day and night,
But in my du'as their names I include.
______________________
Now from the side of my dearest mother -
The relatives I'm in touch with are few.
Some live far but to connect don't bother.
Maternal cousin friends - not even two.
______________________
Though we may be in different cities,
Whether you're on my mom's or father's side,
I'd still say salaam, with you be friendly,
And if necessary you I'd invite.
______________________

For Allah maintain your family ties,
Don't choose to be with shaytan and his pride.

Family Problems In Islam

Allah the Almighty knows best.

Note: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam taught us that God Allah is pleased with those believers who maintain family ties while He is displeased with those who cut off family relations, especially out of being too arrogant to forgive or admit one's faults. Allah will Insha-Allah question that woman who neglected her aging mother and father, that man who deleted his relatives' contacts wanting to have nothing to do with them, those youth who refused to help their cousins or siblings when they were able to, and those members of a family who on coming across each other's paths look away and don't even exchange a simple yet rewarding salaam. Maintain family ties even if you try to visit each other once a month, send a friendly message or call them asking how they are doing. Insha-Allah you will be rewarded for trying your best to obey Allah's Command in taking care of your relatives out of mercy for Allah's sake.

May Allah the Most Merciful accept all our good deeds, forgive all our wrongdoings, answer our du'as and reunite us with our Muslim loved ones in Jannatul Firdaus next to Him and His beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu alaihi wa sallam. Allahumma Innaka 'Afuwwun Kareemun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu 'annaa. Ameen.
