SONNET: Avoid Making Fun Of Others Out Of Jealousy

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful


Allah the Almighty commanded us
To avoid teasing and vain mockery.
As Allah's servants, don't think you're the best,
Don't deny your flaws and deficiencies.

Loathsome it is to name-call and misjudge,
To obnoxiously make fun of others.
Jealous are those who ridicule with grudge.
Sure of themselves - who lift one another.

 Don't make fun of some for being plus-size,
For seeming poor, unkempt, weird or just plain -
Your claims may haunt you and you'll realize
That they're better than you in myriad ways.

Allah and His Angels - we're on their side,
With God we mock satan's envious lies.

3 Facts About Making Fun Of People:
1. Making fun of others is childish and is a bad habit of the insecure or jealous.
2. Don't ridicule some people for something they can't change like how Allah created them.
Never misjudge without knowing their whole story. Otherwise you're the ignorant one who was brought up despicably by uneducated folks who were that inadequate at teaching you good manners.
3. What you make fun of, as well as your wrongdoings, may Insha-Allah find their way back to you if your teasing was uncalled-for or unjust, in this world and/or on Judgment Day.

Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam advised us saying, “Do not express malicious joy towards a Muslim brother or sister's misfortune, for Allah may have mercy on him/her and you may be stricken by the very thing you made fun of.”
(Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi)

Allahumma Innaka 'Afuwwun Kareemun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu 'annaa. Ameen.

POEM: Before You Judge Others, Judge Yourself.

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful


That sister's friendliness does not mean 'flirting',
Nor does her silence mean she's into something.
Don't think she's this and that until there's clear proof.
Before you judge some, put yourself in their shoes.

That man's long beard does not mean he's so righteous
If he prays when he's seen and is impious.
Before you judge, know - and put things in their place.
Don't be quick to trust nor suspect someone's ways.

Who are you to claim that their marriage lacks love?
She could be in his thoughts he always thinks of,
Unable to express himself through sweetness,
While she's forgiving of his flaws and weakness.

Don't think she's arrogant when she walks by you,
She may not have heard, or she had lots to do.
Those brothers without beards - don't think they don't pray.
Don't make strangers' attitudes affect your day.

When one seems aloof, they're thinking or just shy.
If some friends did not visit in a long while,
Grant excuse - time or transport they could not find.
Careful when you judge, the truthful don't belie.

Only Allah can judge, He sees everything.
Every motive and notion is known to Him.
Should you judge for good reason, know all the facts.
Before you criticize, admit what you lack.

May Allah the All-Knowing forgive our sins,
Our neglect, our delays, all our wrongdoings,
May Allah replace our mistakes with good deeds,
With right belief and our trust in Him. Ameen.

PICTURES: Simple Eid Gift Ideas || POEM: Ramadan Lessons

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Some Ideas For 
Simple Eid Packs Of Sweets
Note: For Allah's sake 
Avoid drawing animates/anime and realistic images of beings as figure making is not allowed in Islam. Only Allah is Al-Khaliq Who creates what He Wills.

POEM: What Really Matters (Ramadan Lessons)
===========================
In Ramadan if you could not read the whole Qur'an,
At least you've tried your best reciting once in a while.
If there was that time you missed Suhoor or woke up late,
At least you fasted and you prayed despite your desires.

If you could not attend a special Iftaar event,
At least you fasted while Allah's Angels pray for you.
If you wish to do charity but cannot do so,
You still earn reward for intentions sincere and true.

If you are a sister who has excuse not to fast,
At least you earn reward by giving the fasting food.
If you're in your period and can't pray the Eid prayers,
For attending the Eid khutbahs Allah will bless you.

If you wish to do Da'wah but may not have the means,
Maintain your good manners, doing Da'wah through actions.
If you long to help those needy Muslims but you can't,
With Allah's Will you can affect through supplications.

If in your area you can't find a true righteous friend,
Allah, His Angels, and friends in Heaven await you.
If you seldom get responses on a post/update,
Recall good deeds are for Allah Who Will reward you.

If when some don't take your advice when you enjoin right,
At least you did what you could and corrected the wrong.
If you're the only female in niqaab or hijaab,
At least you know Allah loves you and your faith stays strong.

If some people you know are aloof or won't forgive,
At least you're not the arrogant one who's led astray.
Please Only God Allah. Don't mind what His servants say.
What really matters: Allah loves you, you've tried your best,
And for your Islam Jannah is your eternal place.

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: 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 :)
