POEM: Allah Is With You. You're Not Alone.

In The Name Of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

A tribute for Allah's sake to my fellow lone wolves,

Sweet shoutout to remind these packs they are not alone,

Let them know they're 'independent', not lost, confused souls,

Inform them when they're solo they should remain headstrong.

~•~

Dear wolves, never rely on numbers but quality.

Your worth is not measured by your likability.

Don't think large numbers of 'likes' prove Allah loves you too;

Others' dealings with you don't define your true value.

~•~

I admire those Muslims who do Da'wah for God's sake,

Not after of the likes, not so some could validate,

Not for one's ego, but to please Allah sincerely,

They desire Allah's Pleasure, not popularity.

~•~

Only the insincere would guess they are showing off,

When in reality they work just for Allah's Love.

Sometimes these groups are found alone like strange 'ghurabaa',

As Allah's allies, they strive to uplift the Ummah.

~•~

They're far above sinful talks and evil companions,

In terms of Taqwa they try their best to be champions,

They're tough enough to do the wise thing which few can do,

And when the crowds are led astray, they choose to stay true.

~•~

Their good morals are too much for the mediocre.

Their honesty and frankness intimidate liars.

They're distinguished from others by their late night prayers,

Enjoining right, forbidding wrong, being brave leaders.

~•~

Lone wolves, you're not alone; Allah is always with you.

Note: God's Angels of Mercy supplicate for you too.

Keep calm knowing you're one of Allah's close friends scattered,

Jannah is where we can unite with God's supporters.

~•~

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: New Lessons On Love I've Learned This Year

In The Name Of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

New lessons on love I've learned within this year,

To inspire Muslims to keep those they hold dear.

One: Even though you may find some attractive,

To your spouse you stay loyal and supportive.

It's possible to like some to a degree,

Yet you love your spouse more with much loyalty.

Two: Don't overlook subtle signs of true love,

Like when for Salah you wake each other up,

Or when you give each other hugs and kisses,

And when closeness to your spouse you can't resist.

Three: Love stories of others should not threaten,

But to push you to have your marriage strengthened.

Be happy for other Muslims' marriage lives,

Focus on succeeding as good husband/wife.

Four: You know your love is genuine and real

When all emotions your lover lets you feel,

Hating when you miss them, loving their best traits,

Excited to see them, sad when they're away.

Five: Your love is a gift if it lifts Imaan,

Blessed if it helps you patiently understand,

Directs you to thanking Allah night and day,

And guides you to contentment when you're dismayed.

If something about your soulmate bothers you,

You'll still fall for their other sweet attributes.

So marriage lasts longer, do it for Allah,

Marry for Allah's sake. Marriage is Sunnah.

Being married doesn't spell out 'perfect life',

There's no perfection except in Paradise.

POEM: Some Views On Homosexuality & Same-Sex Attraction

In The Name Of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Allah knows best. In my opinion, none is born gay.

 With Adam for Eve, men were designed to like females.

Same-sex attraction takes place when one exaggerates

One's love for another despite their gender's the same,

Or it is caused by how one was improperly raised.

It could be gay men were exposed to girl stuff when young,

Played with dolls and make-up till they were into fashion,

Trying women's clothing for fun with all the freedom,

Watching girly films, befriending girls - none to stop them,

Or shaytan misleads them to like guys they find handsome.

Lesbians or bi-girls may have been brought up roughly,

Told often to 'man up' and quit crying like babies,

Played sports enjoyed by boys till they behaved more manly,

Or shaytan misleads them to like girls for their beauty,

Or crush on another female who's smart, brave and sweet.

Homosexuality is a sin just like stealing,

Adultery, usury, lying and backbiting.

Evil desire which some incline to, it's forbidden.

It's Jihad for those who strive against this attraction -

All Muslims will be rewarded for avoiding sins.

Our love for a Muslim is for Allah's sake only.

When loving other Muslims, we love moderately.

Avoid prolonged eye-contact and sharing the same sheet,

Don't stare at each other's 'awrah. Do dress modestly.

May Allah the Almighty guide us always. Ameen.

POEM: When Allah Answers Prayers

In The Name Of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Allah the Most Wise answered my du'as in strange ways.

When I asked Him for guidance, He got me wide awake,

Infatuated with seeking knowledge night and day,

Learning Islam and leaving sins I had to forsake.

When I asked Him for protection, He exposed ex-friends,

He guided me to recognize actors who pretend,

Who draw fake smiles on their negative vibes I can sense -

So God distanced me from companions with vile intent.

When I asked Allah for His forgiveness and mercy,

He gave difficulties that erase past evil deeds,

Caused me to meet jealous folks who betray and mistreat

So I receive their good while they gain all my misdeeds.

When I asked Allah to make me among those He loves,

He granted trials to train me to never give up,

Made me an outcast so it's just me and Him Above,

To self-reflect and change until I'm ready enough.

When I asked Allah to make my character better,

He taught me humbleness by showing those blessed with more,

Contentment each time I remember special others,

And patience through meeting those whose morals are lesser.

Alhamdulillah I fell in love with solitude

And selective silence when friends range from none to few.

Loyalty to my spouse too has raised in magnitude,

Along with good deeds done away from spectators' views.

May Allah the Most Just answer my du'as daily,

And join me with those who'll see Him in Jannah. Ameen.

Note: When Allah answers, His responses are timely.

Allah knows best how to make our dreams reality.

POEM: A Tribute To Niqabi Sisters

In The Name Of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

A tribute for Allah's sake to niqabis,

Courageous sisters who value modesty,

Who dress to please Allah not society.

Their beauty's reserved for their husbands only.

Niqab is not just for those who are pretty,

It's for sisters who love acquiring good deeds,

In terms of piety they love to compete,

And set themselves apart from girls who are cheap.

They're wise enough to know if you have beauty,

Don't flaunt it but treasure it, save it and keep.

Conceal it like gemstones meant for the worthy.

Your best appeal is for your husband only.

Good looks come in various forms and qualities;

Don't claim niqab is only for the pretty.

The more a Muslimah would dress modestly,

As her esteem, faith and self-respect increase.

Allah is the One Whom we aspire to please,

We won't change if some view us negatively.

Only noble souls can sense Islam's beauty

And see the worth of modest communities.

More veiled sisters means less insecurity,

Less comparison to shun adultery.

To cover up willingly is to be free,

Unlike those enslaved by fashion industries.

Judge niqabis by their personality,

Unique minds and voices - not just the body.

Muslimahs wear hijab and cover fully,

While the niqab enhances one's dignity.

POEM: The Most Noble To Allah The Almighty

In The Name Of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Notes to self and reminders to share, for Allah's sake:

Your worth is not proven in having a pretty face,
Long nose, pouty lips, high cheekbones, not your height nor weight.
Your skin tone and country too don't differentiate.
All humans are Allah's servants regardless of race.

To Allah, janitors and CEOs are the same.
Whatever one's job is, each being is Allah's slave,
With strengths, limits and responsibilities to take.
To Allah the most noble are those with the right faith,
Who exceed others in morals, and do good always.

Being rich is nothing unless your wealth brings goodness,
Guides you to love charity and treat all with kindness.
If it makes you more helpful, your intellect is blessed.
If they keep you grateful while you don't forget the rest,
Allah's gifts to you can lead to spiritual success.

You're not better than such and such if you lack manners.
Never feel inferior to any unbeliever.
What measure one's value are faith and good character.
As Muslims, compete for Allah's Love and together.
To have Taqwa while trusting Allah is what matters.

POEM: Love Letter From Wife To Husband

In The Name Of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Love letter, for Allah's sake, from me to my husband,
Who if he may not read this then perhaps in Heaven:
Dear spouse, I'll always love you despite the long distance.
When far, you roam in my thoughts and imaginations.

As my other half, I can't think of separation,
Because I promised to love you since our engagement.
From Allah I long to be your treasure and blessing,
For your struggles, for striving, and for being Muslim.

In your absence, you teach me about independence,
Loyalty, faithfulness and most beautiful patience.
When present, you gift me with all sorts of emotions,
From being observant of romance and contentment.

To some, you may be the wrong one - to me, you're handsome,
You're just perfect for me the way you are each season.
While I may like others, our love is an exception,
It's a journey of attractions with myriad lessons.

Through loving you I learned to be loyal, forgiving,
Patient, closer to God Allah and more determined.
Since our connection, I won't think of separation -
Always I'll love you until Allah brings you to Him.
