POEM: Sharing Niqab Experience

In the Name of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Alhamdulillah first time wearing niqab went well,
It began as a dress code at a Saudi gov. school,
Only when going outside to wear the complete veil.
No problem with niqab back then save for some travels.

I used to think niqab should be worn just in Saudi,
My faith back then was not strong till Islam I studied.
Back then I was conscious of wearing niqab fully,
Was okay wearing it around many niqabis,

But after research and advice from my dear parents,
I’ve learned niqab is Wajib or at least encouraged.
To remove niqab as Hajj pilgrims is evidence
That niqab is Wajib, rewarding and important.

Niqab is useful in a sense it prevents wrong gaze,
It’s meant to promote modesty and strengthen one’s faith,
To join those who strive to obey God’s Laws night and day,
Distinguishing devout women from those led astray.

Alhamdulillah I’m now a full-time niqaabi,
Don’t mind if I’m the only one amongst hijabis.
Not a big deal too if onlookers would stare at me.
Another way of doing Da’wah indirectly.

Negative reactions with niqab? Yes, a few times.
‘Aswang!’ or ‘Monster!’ I’ve been called once by a scared child,
A few laughter here or there in public, day or night,
Curious stares from those who see niqab for the first time.

Even from some Muslim kids I’ve been asked ‘Why wear that?’
My response: ‘I’m Muslim, faith stronger with the niqab.’
I’ve been called ‘Ninja!’ by ignorant adults and brats,
Their lack of travel and world knowledge I understand.

Love niqab for Allah’s sake, dear niqabi sisters.
All your sins are taken by each one of your mockers.
Those who ridicule, think, they’ve never been travelers,
They’re insecure, so through you they try to find laughter.

Take pride in being of the ‘ghurabaa’ / strangers few,
Humble to God, nice with likes, watchful of what you do,
Adorned with manners and inner beauty that shines through,
Praying you enter Jannah and Allah welcomes you.

Wasalaam~

Mariam

POEM: These Tears That Fall May They Intercede

In the Name of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

‘Allahu Akbar’ state these tears that fall,
These tears that drizzle when to God I call,
Talk to Allah with various emotions,
Du’as depend on each situation.
~.~
Tears that fall as I miss my dear parents,
When I miss my husband, loved ones and friends,
Remorseful of good deeds I neglected,
By the Ummah’s current state dejected,
~.~
I cry when I long to help but just can’t,
When to Allah I return and repent,
Seeking Allah’s Guidance, Love and Mercy,
Mentioning Muslims in prayers daily.
~.~
These tears fall too when sinners I pity,
How they can afford to steal or mistreat,
When Allah Almighty knows what they do,
Knowing Allah’s Justice is swift and true.
~.~
May Allah Most High forgive us always,
Accept all our good deeds done for His sake,
Make our tears among those that intercede
To let us meet God in Jannah. Ameen.

~.~

Wasalaam~

Mariam

POEM: One Good Reason Why I Still Love Him

In the Name of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Dear husband whom God sent as my other half,
My muse, my motivation and first true love -
A poem yet again though it’s not enough
To let all know why on you I gave up not.

Though there may be myriad reasons to dislike
You and how you may not fulfill all my rights,
There’s one good reason I’m still here day and night:
I love God more than myself and my desires.

I love you, husband, for Allah’s sake – it’s true.
Grateful for all the good deeds you used to do,
Not forgetful I’m a gift from God to you,
Your subtle love for me you don’t need to prove.

One good reason why I still love is patience,
Knowing your wrongs are due to interference,
Nosy involvement from those with aversion –
Won’t please my foes by choosing separation.

No worries, if God Wills, in Jannah we’ll meet.
Jannah Paradise is where bliss is really,
Eternal perfection without fakery,
Real home of the righteous, steadfast and sincere.

One reason I share my story is to teach
And motivate all to embrace loyalty,
Which lets you see when neglect is forced or real,
And keeps you vigilant of spies who envy.

May Allah the Almighty and Most Loving
Accept our good deeds and forgive all our sins.
Ameen. May Allah make us of those destined
To meet Him in Jannah smilingly. Ameen.

True love for Allah's sake does not give up easily~

Wasalaam~

Mariam

POEM: In Jannah Is Love Without Separation

In the Name of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

May Allah unite us in Jannah Heaven.
Ameen. Special message to my dear parents,
To my Muslim family, distant loved ones,

Close friends and those with whom I haven’t spoken.

Sweet reminders again to my dear husband:

_______________

Dear husband, whom I so love for Allah’s sake,
Although we don’t see each other night and day,
Always note my loving you will still remain
Until it finds perfection up there someday,
In Jannah where there’s no worry nor dismay.

_______________

With those I love our talks on earth may be few,
Our meetings sometimes rushed, loads of jobs to do.

At times we neglect, forget, fight, misconstrue,
Yet we forgive each other, knowing it’s true
Blessed love that leads to Jannah treasures value.

_______________

Up there in Jannah there’s no separation,
No stress, distress, tiredness, loss nor depression,
No despicable traits nor comparison.

In Jannah are great things which no soul has seen,
So grand that one’s mind can’t even imagine.

_______________

Jannah’s for those who worship Allah Only,
The sincere ones who do good deeds aplenty,
The truthful supporters who love God truly.

May Allah accept our efforts, grant Mercy
And join us with those who’ll meet Him lovingly. Ameen.

_______________

In Jannah Paradise is true love without separation~

Wasalaam~

POEM: Allahumma Innaka 'Afuwwun Tuhebbul 'Afwa Fa'fu 'Anna

In The Name Of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Allahumma Innaka 'Afuwwun Tuhebbul 'Afwa Fa'fu 'Annee.
O' Allah You are the Most Forgiving,
You love forgiveness, so forgive me please.

Dear Allah forgive my flaws and mistakes,
The sins I may have done by night or day,
Wrongdoings done unintentionally,
Stubbornly, coerced or unknowingly.

Forgive me dear Allah for good deeds missed,
And sins done in secret which You've witnessed,
Forgive those actions done reluctantly,
And bad thoughts or feelings felt wrongfully.

Forgive o' Allah You love to pardon,
Forgive all my sins I've long abandoned,
Forgive my time spent on the unworthy,
And any neglect of any duty.

I'm sorry Allah for chances I lost,
Wrong choices made, vile ideas thought of,
Offending Your servants distastefully,
Sorry for complaints brought forth needlessly.

O' Allah in Ramadan and always
I pray for Your Forgiveness night and day,
Accept all my good deeds, answer my pleas,
And make me of those You'll meet smilingly.

Allahumma Innaka 'Afuwwun Tuhebbul 'Afwa Fa'fu 'Annee.
O' Allah You are the Most Forgiving,
You love forgiveness, so forgive me please.
Ameen.

Good deeds you can do even after Ramadan:
Regularly fasting every other day Sunnah fasts especially on Mondays or Thursdays, reading and reciting from the Noble Qur'an everyday, praying more Sunnahs like Salat Ad-Duha in the forenoon and Qiyam Al-Layl Tahajjud past midnight, frequently communicating with Allah through saying some Adhkaar and your sincere du'as, maintaining good Islamic manners while abstaining from evil deeds and foul speech or unnecessary talking, avoiding sins and that which is not really beneficial, sharing some food from time to time with loved ones and neighbours, enjoying seeking Islamic knowledge and enjoining right and forbidding wrong whenever possible all for Allah's sake :)

In The Name Of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Race with one another in doing good deeds,

Do good to please Allah with sincerity.

These lead to Heaven: faith, morals, right belief.

Analyse yourself before you will be asked.

Good intentions for Allah simplify tasks.

Allah is always near, hearing your du'as.

Manage time wisely, focusing on Allah.

Love and strive to be like dear RasulAllah (SallAllahu alaihi wa sallam).

Dreams are nothing without motive and actions.

Don't mind the rude and those full of assumptions,

The humble accept the Truth and find God's Way.

Never underestimate Allah's Mercy,

The power of du'a and speech said rightly.

Jannah is our true home of eternal ease.

Some Good deeds menstruating sisters can still do in Ramadan: say your du'as and have sincere talks with Allah Who will InshaAllah answer a Muslim's du'a in a way that He knows is best, attend Islamic seminars or seek beneficial knowledge through reading or watching Islamic videos and lectures, share useful links to online Islamic articles or websites, help in cooking or feed fasting Muslims, babysit kids whose parents are praying especially in Taraweeh and Tahajjud prayers, give old clothes and other surplus things to those who may need them, learn more about Arabic so you understand the Glorious Qur'an more and read books on tafseer or Ahadith sayings of the Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam and continue reading from the Noble Qur'an with gloves on to complete reading the whole Qur'an in Ramadan at least once for Allah's sake.

May Allah the Most Merciful accept all our good deeds and fasting, May Allah the Most Forgiving forgive all our sins and May Allah the Most Loving reunite us with His righteous friends in Jannatul Firdaus near Him and His noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam. Allahumma Innaka 'Afuwun tuhhebul 'afwa fa'fu 'annaa. Ameen.

SONNET: Genuine Love Of A First Wife

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

My loving you dear husband Nomayri

Is unconditional, true and sincere -

A love so faithful, for Allah only,

I'm your first wife - loving you far or near.

Your work and weaknesses I understand,

Your busyness and tears I also know,

Your flaws at times are like a helpless man

On wheelchair yet my love for you still glows.

Such is loyalty - a gem so divine,

From your first who lets you wed up to four.

Thank you for sweet memories, good old times,

Lessons you taught like cooking, and much more.

Disregard lies the jealous say, and know -

On Judgement Day, truth and justice are shown.

"Marriage is not a joke to be played with or taken for granted. Marriage is a duty and beautiful unison of husband and wife, embarking on a journey to God Allah while learning from one another lessons to be shared with others. Marriage is a responsibility which Allah may question you about on the Day of Judgement."

Allah the Almighty knows best.

May Allah the Most Merciful forgive all our sins, accept all our good deeds and reunite us with our Muslim loved ones in Jannatul Firdaus near Allah and His noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam. Ameen.

POEM: Five Good Qualities To Have As A Muslim

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Five positive traits a Muslim ought to have,

Which are learned from His wonderful creations.

Through these creatures, with Allah's Mercy above,

We can derive some beneficial lessons.

Like the tiger, show courage for Allah's sake.

Be brave as you walk along Allah's Straight Way.

Rely on Allah, and use the means He gave

In obedience, while trusting Allah always.

Show wisdom as the owl does in reacting.

Know that all things from Allah has a set time.

Take that chance to do good, be understanding,

And of Islam seek knowledge to be more wise.

As the falcon, be observant and watchful.

Of the hypocrites' lies and scams be careful.

Be quick when speed is needed, stop if you must,

Slow down when you should, and know whom you can trust.

Just as the just lion - Royal and regal,

Show justice, and be fair for Allah the King.

Guide the lost, defend your friends, remain loyal,

Lead the Way to Allah and depend on Him.

Like the wolf, be independent, never lone,

Don't mind if you can't find a friend who is true.

Your goal: To be with Allah and Heaven's Home.

You are: Okay when alone, better in groups.

As a Muslim, you aim to please God Allah.

With your mercy and kindness, you share Islam,

While including Muslims in your good du'as,

So Paradise near Allah is where you land.

May Allah the Most Merciful forgive all our sins, accept all our good deeds, and reunite us with our Muslim loved ones in Jannatul Firdaus near Him and His noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam. Ameen.

POEM: 23 Reasons To Smile

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Note: Recite Surah Al-Kahf every Friday :)

Twenty-three reasons to smile for Allah's sake:
One: Smile; it's Sunnah. Two: Smile; it's charity.
Three: Smile; thank Allah for another new day,
And for allowing you to do more good deeds.

Four: Smile because you're Muslim, on the Right Way.
Five: Smile; it keeps you shining each day and night.
Six: Smile, knowing Allah is with you always.
Seven: Smiling adds beauty without a price.

Eight: Even if some have done you any wrong,
Smile, knowing that God Allah is the Most Just.
On Judgement Day, all shall see where they belong.
Nine: Smile; rely on Allah and in Him trust.

Ten: Smile, as Allah chose you to read these lines.
One sign Allah loves you is gaining knowledge.

Eleven: If some won't listen, it's alright,
You have tried your best, good deeds still encourage.

Twelve: If you haven't traveled to far places,
Smile as you recall you're on a great journey.
We're on the same trip till we see Allah's Face,
So smile; on the righteous Allah has Mercy.

Thirteen: If some dislike you out of envy,
Or because the differences are a lot,
Smile; you're here to please none but Allah Only.
Allah's Love and Guidance are more than enough.

Fourteen: If some have left you out, don't worry.
There are special friends who await you up there.
Smile; just laugh at 'liars' who claim you're 'lonely'.

God Allah knows all well, and He knows what's fair.

Fifteen: If you're saddened by how they're so few,
How the good and believers are not many,
To be among the guided Allah chose you,
Smile, as you recognize the term 'VIP'.

Sixteen: If at times you wonder why not you,
Why won't you have the same gifts as so and so,
Smile; Allah's Justice and Wisdom are all true.
What His servants need most Allah Only knows.

Seventeen: If you've lost relatives or friends,
Or was not given a chance to say goodbye,
Smile; in Paradise you can see them again,
Jannatul-Firdaus: best place where we unite.

Eighteen: If your marriage is not that perfect,
Or if on earth you haven't found a spouse yet,
Smile; note that Allah loves those who are patient,
Your special prize may be in Heaven instead.

Nineteen: If your room is not something special,
Or your house is not as grand as other homes,
Smile; we're Allah's servants, humble and grateful,
Traveling to Heaven, more precious than gold.

Twenty: If fancy food you don't always eat,

Smile; remember those who have much less or none,
In Jannah is where all pleasures you can meet,
Allah does reward for good things said or done.

Twenty-one: If you think you have no talent,
No special skills, no beauty or something neat,
Smile; count your countless blessings, try, think again,

In so many ways you're helpful and unique.

Twenty-two: Smile; what goes around comes around.
Those who did you wrong will find their faults someday.

On Judgement Day truth prevails and lost is found.

It's a fact that most are misled and astray.

Twenty-three: You're lucky you're on the Straight Way.

Smile; talk to Allah the True Friend we must trust.

Do better than none but yourself yesterday,

You're okay, what matters most is Allah's Love.

May Allah the Most Merciful and Most Kind
Reward us for good deeds we do for His sake,
And may we meet Allah while at us He smiles,
For serving Allah in what we do and say. [Ameen.]

Include us and all Muslims in your good du'as brothers and sisters in Islam :)

May Allah Almighty make us among His righteous friends whom He will welcome in Jannatul Firdaus near Him and His beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam. Ameen.

POEM: What If

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

www.zawaj.com/askbilqis/dua-in-islam

SubhanAllah wa Bihamdih SubhanAllah Al-'Atheem.
Many things that took place, or passed by, or those that could have been.
Only God Allah Almighty knows both the seen and unseen.
Allah knows what His servants go through. Allah is All-Knowing.

What if Dad (Allah Yarhamhu and dear Mom) was here today,
And he remarried, and that decision with Mom is okay?
If we had a stepmom, would our ties with her come with dismay,
Or would we be best friends so we'd go out and chat night and day?

Perhaps the love between my dearest parents was so special.
Allah decreed that Dad be wed to only one wife loyal.
May Allah the Most Merciful forgive them and grant mercy,
And May He join me with His friends He'll meet smilingly. Ameen.

What if my brothers had second wives or married up to four,
If their wives were my age and were close for same things we adored?
Perhaps Allah is saving me from unwanted daily speech,
While helping me understand all sorts of personalities.

What if I could write and speak in all languages fluently,
So not one friend would find it hard to communicate with me?
What if I married "Mr. Right" whose good traits were too many,
How much would my unconditional love and loyalty be?

Only God Allah knows the wisdom in every life story,
And Only He the Most Wise knows what is best for you and me.
Whether I update again or not after this blog entry,
It's best that most words are kept for oneself and Allah Only.

Some new lessons I'd like to share which I have learned recently:
Avoid sinners and those who show signs that they're untrustworthy.
In silence is inner peace, more talks with Allah Almighty,
And praying that Allah lets us meet in Heaven smilingly. (Ameen.)

May Allah Almighty make us among His righteous friends whom He will welcome in Jannatul Firdaus near Him and His beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam. Ameen.

POEM: Three Types Of Strangers We Remember

In The Name Of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

There are three groups of strangers we meet in life,
Strangers whose actions we strangely remember -
From the memories we still recall of them
Are useful lessons and wisdom to gather:

The first of these groups consists of wrongdoers,
Whose wrongs may invite you to pray against them.
Their rude acts or remarks you know to this day,
With vile people like them you would not be friends.

From this team I recall one Southeast Asian
Immodest lady staring, with a grimace,
At my beloved Mom and I in niqaab,
Who both saw her scowl yet with grace walked away.

The second set of strangers is of sweet folks,
Whose names you don't know, but whose good acts you do -
Like that friendly flight attendant, salespersons,
Or that kind British bellboy who greeted you.

From this I recall that nice man on wheelchair,
Who gave my loved ones and I much of his food -
In Makkah, at some hotel - for him I pray
That Allah makes his wish for Heaven come true.

The third type of strangers are those we once knew,
Who used to be friends but chose another way.
Whether they lost contact or cannot forgive,
Most of their doings we recall to this day.

What we can learn from here is to watch our deeds,
And remember to deal with strangers fairly.
For Allah, maintain good manners, and your acts
Serve as lessons to some, not just memories.

May Allah the Most Merciful forgive all our sins,
accept all our good deeds, join us with our Muslim loved ones in Jannatul Firdaus near Him and His Prophets especially His noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam. Ameen.

Include us and all Muslims in your good du'as :)

SONNET: Nine Signs Of The Trustworthy. Who Should You Trust?

In The Name Of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

In a world where just a few we can trust,

While choosing one's friends, one must be cautious.

Nine traits of the trustworthy, if you must

Trust loved ones - first quality: Not jealous.

Away from envy. Happy for your joys.

Second: Keep their promises, always true.

Third: Return your favors, with a right choice.

Fourth: Loyal friends enjoy being with you.

Fifth: About others never talk badly.

Sixth: Lovers of learning, seeking wisdom.

Seventh: See your good, hope you're trustworthy.

Eighth: Wise and sincere, with good intentions.

Ninth: Forgiving, thoughtful and self-aware.

Note: If none you can trust, Allah is there.

Allah Almighty is the Only One we can truly trust.

What does it mean to trust?

To be able to trust some people is to know that on them you can rely. With ease and confidence you can talk to them about anything anytime. You know they're there for you day and night. Their promises they keep and they respect your rights. They never make fun of you when you're wrong or ridicule you when you cry. They're happy for your achievements and glad when you're right. They understand your concerns and share your delights. In fact they always want you to do well in both worlds and do only what's right. Hence they can recognize any lies you try to hide, yet they're forgiving as they're aware that no one but God Allah is Perfect. And they want you to be with them in attaining only what is best. So they try to guide you to Allah's Way with reminders and advice for you and themselves, so in Heaven with Allah's Mercy together you can rest. Allah Almighty knows best.

May Allah the Most Merciful accept all our good deeds,

forgive all our sins and join us with our Muslim loved ones in Jannatul Firdaus near Him and His Prophets especially His noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam. Ameen.

Include us and all Muslims in your good du'as :)

For lessons He taught me I should not forget:

To my beloved parents, first and foremost:

Though they won't read this, as Allah brought them back,

May Allah have Mercy on them, reunite

Us in Heaven, and make our good dreams true facts.

Ameen.

To my dear brothers and immediate loved ones:

Forgive, and thank you for all favors you've done.

Though at times we were quiet, I stayed thankful

For advice you gave, good memories and fun.

To my only husband, though he won't know this:

Many poems of love I wrote about you,

Including you in my du'as, as well as

My loyalty, are some proofs my love is true.

To my family, relatives - far or near:

Thank you for gifts you gave and kindness you showed.

If I still owe anything, please forgive me,

Forgive, for not everyone's feelings I know.

To teachers, even those from kindergarten:

May Allah reward you for good things you taught,

For your words that helped motivate and inspire,

Awesome memories and gifts some teachers brought.

Ameen.

To friends, classmates and schoolmates of various kinds:

Thank you for every moment in which we learned -

Learned a lot from each other and others too,

And how most deeds to their doers do return.

Thanks to those who understand that I talk when

I have some truth to share or good things to teach,

And when I enjoin right, it's not out of pride,

It's to remind others of our true belief.

And when I stay silent or seem distant so,

It's because I'm being watchful of my speech.

The wise speak a few words, spend time with the wise,

And with those whose doors are closed don't bother speak.

'Love and hate for Allah' in that I believe,

While maintaining good Muslim manners always.

To be Muslim is to be fair, kind, and just,

And to do everything just for Allah's sake.

As for those who did us wrong in any way,

Those who treated me or loved ones unfairly:

They know who they are, May Allah deal with them,

And on Judgment Day give them their wrongs justly.

Ameen.

Only Allah is free of imperfections.

Only Allah is The True Judge in both worlds.

Before some criticize, because of envy,

They must look at themselves first, and list their flaws.

If ever I insulted you, I'm sorry.

If ever I seemed strict, I thought I was right.

If I thought I was right, when I was wrong, know

That I'm human too, making mistakes at times.

Thank you to the readers who read all these lines,

May Allah The Most Kind guide you to His Way.

May Allah The Most Merciful forgive us,

And join us with the winners on Judgment Day.

Ameen.

To some people, all actions need explaining.

To the faithful, your acts don't need any words.

In truth, all deeds are already recorded,

And of everyone's state Allah always knows.

May Allah the Most Merciful forgive all our mistakes, accept all our good deeds, answer all our du'as and reunite us with our Muslim loved ones in Jannatul Firdaus near Him Allah and His noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam. Ameen. www.wisdom.edu.ph

SONNET: On Our Wedding Date

In The Name Of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

MashaAllah and Alhamdulillah
Married since 25th October 2006 Shawwal

Words of Love from a treasure to a trust -

From a righteous wife to her only man:

To remain loyal for me 'tis a must.

All that you do I choose to understand.

I don't need a ring to show we are wed.

Our God Allah witnessed our sweet wedding.

No pretentious ring. I'll have you instead -

You're my spouse - I'm your wife: true and loving.

If for some reason, some assume you left,

With God's Mercy I'll find a way to you.

No new relations. To just you I'm wed.

I'm your treasure - among the special few.

Blest are men whose wives stay chaste and loyal,

Whose love lives hold many lessons royal.

"What makes the righteous Muslim wife different from other wives is her loyalty to her only spouse, her management of herself and his belongings, in how she understands him and for Allah's sake is always forgiving. She includes him in her du'as almost each night and day, willingly listens to each word he says, gives him advice, shows him the right way and helps him pray. She is thankful to Allah first and foremost, and is grateful to be married to her only husband in many ways. Allah Almighty knows best. "

Include all Muslims in your good du'as :)

POEM: Three Types Of Haters .:. The Wrongdoer, The Jealous, The Ignorant

In The Name Of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Loving and hating for Allah's sake

There are three types of foes besides the devil -

Three kinds of enemies whom we should avoid:

First are haters who hate you for your Islam,

They're different from you, as they're shaytan's toys.

They adorn themselves with lies, while you stay true.

While they're guilty of sins, you avoid what's wrong.

Good deeds that you do leave them in resentment,

They loathe your morals and how your faith is strong.

With your differences, good and bad don't mix.

As they despise, you hate them for Allah's sake:

They are liars and thieves, most untrustworthy,

Nosy, blameworthy donkeys each night and day.

Number two are those who hate out of envy:

Beneath you, they want your status like theirs - low.

Of your merits and achievements they're jealous,

So their rudeness and worst traits they strangely show.

Good qualities you have they try to take by

Being unfriendly fools due to jealousy.

Just thank them sincerely, for they let you know -

You're above them in faith and nobility.

Third types of haters are the ignorant ones,

Who put on an act, to follow shaytan's lies -

To understand what is right they often fail -

They're but misguided, as they're puppets of spies.

Because most of them are fake, be fake likewise.

Shun being close to them - they're not worth your time.

Trust Allah. Know what goes around comes around.

If some of them may listen, advise and guide.

Should many hate you because they are sinners,

Know that you're not here to please them but Allah.

It's their loss as they miss out on your friendship,

Special bond with Allah and RasulAllah.

The Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam

Had enemies too who told lies about him,

Who called him names he was not, while it's proven

He is the most noble of all human beings.

So don't mind how many "friends" you have online,

Or if you have no real buddies to talk to.

So long as you're Muslim, Allah stays near you.

Allah is your Friend, Who knows everything about you.

Belie shaytan when he lies, "you look lonely."

Don't bother befriending hypocrites and fakes.

Move away from their lies. Remain with Allah.

Be with the righteous few on Allah's Straight Way.

May Allah the Most Merciful forgive all our mistakes, accept all our good deeds, answer all our good du'as and reunite us with our Muslim loved ones in Jannatul Firdaus near Him and His beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam. Ameen.

Include us and all Muslim brothers and sisters in your good du'as :)

Wasalaam,

Mariam M.
