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.

POEM: No To Niqab Ban

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful


A letter, for Allah's sake, from a Muslim on behalf of many,
To those who think it is right to refuse niqabis' rights unjustly:
Why do you claim a piece of cloth/niqab is a threat to your city,
When there are myriad methods for some to conceal their identity?

The niqab is not just clothing but one of the keys to earn God's Love,
For Muslim women with self-respect, who in their faith wish to stay tough.
From the disobedient lewd lasses, the niqab distinguishes us.
Our goal is to be modest for God Only; we don't dress to impress.

The face we cover as it's the main source of beauty and attraction.
The voice, not one's appearance, is the icon for communication.
With the niqab, there'd be less cases of physical comparison,
And a woman's beauty is so special it's reserved for her husband.

So please understand it is unfair to ban this religious freedom.
If you leaders are concerned about your lands' safety and protection,
You might as well ban cosmetic surgery and all cosplay costumes,
Transgenderism, R-rated films, and the selling of all weapons.

By banning the niqab you're only instigating hatred, not peace.
Preventing some women from their love of modesty is tyranny.
Good countries should let their people co-exist despite diversity.
To ban the niqab makes a country close-minded, not esteemed nor free.

To check a woman's identity is okay, but don't fully ban.
The reasons why thousands of women wear niqab try to understand.
Other ways to prove identity are fingerprints, lines on one's hands,
DNA, natural gait, intellect and how the Muslimah sounds.

To Muslimahs in countries wherein wearing the niqab is not free,
Try to migrate to another place if you have the ability.
Otherwise do your best to please Allah and talk to Him steadfastly.
With God's Will you deserve Jannah Paradise for your sincerity.
Just say 'HasbunAllah wa Ne'm Al-Wakeel' and show Islam is peace.

POEM: Muslims Love Prophet Jesus

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful


If I were asked ‘What would you say to Allah’s Prophet,
Jesus -Peace be upon him- if you were to meet him?’
I’d say, ‘Brother Jesus, as-salaamu ‘alaikum.
Don’t worry about those who don’t know that you’re Muslim.

Dear Jesus, one of Allah’s Prophets, you did your best,
To convey there’s Only One God was your main message.
You strove for Allah’s sake with so much faith and courage,
To worship only One God was what you encouraged.

As with all of God’s Prophets you had some enemies.
Shaytan misled some folks to false claims and misbelief,
Misguiding numbers to trust a lie – ‘the Trinity’.
Believing in more than One God brings disharmony.

Prophet Jesus, Allah knows you never claimed you’re ‘god’.
It’s our archenemy shaytan who loves strife and fraud.
Dear Jesus, we Muslims believe you’ll be coming back,
Returning before Judgment Day when most will be shocked

Surprised to know that Prophet Jesus was a Muslim,
Who believed in One God and the Prophet Muhammad [SallAllahu alaihi wa sallam].’
May Allah the Almighty reveal to all the truth
That Jesus is not god, but human like me and you. Ameen.

POEM: On Isolation During Times Of Fitna

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful


Dear Allah the Almighty One, the All-Knowing King,
Recently my Iman has been low and decreasing
Each time I mingle with the faithless and deceiving,
Who indulge in fruitless talks, lying and gossiping,
Whilst the state of the Ummah seems so discouraging.

Thus I’ve decided, after reading some Ahadeeth,
To befriend solitude and avoid vile company.
Once I recognize actors acting suspiciously,
Through their gestures and bad vibes they give unknowingly,
I grant them my distance so they won’t know the real me.

I’ve embraced seclusion for Your Sake Allah Alone.
Allah is always with me I’m delighted to know.
The Noble Qur’an I’d rather read than be with those
Whose aimless companionship cause my faith to go low.
Please forgive me, Allah, when I leave them on their own.

Until I find pious companions whom I can trust,
I busy myself with lots of Dhikr and Du’as,
Contemplating on meanings of vivid dreams I have,
And regularly making du’a for the Ummah,
Praying my patience is one way to Jannah above.

Dear Allah guide me away from where I should not be,
Places wherein wrong crowds only make my faith decrease.
Provide guidance O’ Allah and Jannah please decree,
Lead me to Paradise for my belief and good deeds,
And for striving to make the right decisions. Ameen.

POEM: On Homosexuality & Same-Sex Attraction

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful


Some notes on homosexuality – a sin,
A major sin and evil deed forbidden.
It distorts the nature of human beings.
As a sinful desire, it is disgusting,
Among wrongdoings like deceit and stealing.

Same-sex attraction is what Lut’s people did,
Rebelling and doing the prohibited -
They disobeyed God as they were conceited.
So stubborn, they chose to remain misguided,
Ignoring their innocence since they were kids.

Allah the Almighty made Eve for Adam.
Allah made woman for man as companion.
God’s enemy shaytan, foe of all humans,
Wants chaos through messing with God’s creation,
Trying to misguide them into vile thinking.

Accursed shaytan loves it when humans lessen
In logic, good morals and population -
When moms don’t give birth but become lesbians,
When lions from men act and look feminine,
While others change bodies from discontentment. 

To worship One God is nature of mankind,
To obey Allah’s Laws and do what is right.
The opposite gender man was meant to like.
Same-sex attraction, an abnormal desire,
Can be controlled with faith and knowledge acquired.

One can’t be born with homosexuality,
As babies come to earth completely sin-free.
This may develop in some unknowingly
As when boys are not stopped when they act girly,
Or when girls get too close unnaturally.

Attraction may happen when love gets extreme.
So when you like some do so moderately.
Loving for Allah is a Muslim’s duty,
Guiding and reminding with sincerity.
That same genders can marry we disagree.

POEM: Reviving Some Sunnahs Of The Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu Alaihi Wa Sallam

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Some Sunnahs of the Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu alaihi wa sallam to revive:
Two Rak’ahs Sunnah upon entering the Masjid,
Showing respect to elders, being playful with kids,
Helping around the house, being loving to one’s wives,
Staying truthful and when joking never telling lies,

Fasting regularly every Monday and Thursday,
Brushing and cleansing one’s teeth before one starts to pray,
Exchanging salaams and handshakes when meeting others,
Starting most actions from the right and in odd number,
Meeting loved ones almost always with a cheerful face,

Praying often Tahajjud at night when most would sleep,
Not complaining about food he did not want to eat,
Brisk and dynamic was his usual way of walking,
Articulate, wise, eloquent, clear and well-spoken,
Courage and softness he could balance beautifully,

He took proper care of his inner and outward self,
In what is right whenever he could he’d strive to help,
At times to energize he would take afternoon naps,
Knew when to work ambitiously and when to relax,
In lots of Dhikr and Du’as he loved to indulge,

Da’wah was his mission – enjoin right and forbid wrong,
As a leader and teacher he was brave, smart and strong.
May Allah the Almighty accept all our good deeds,
Allow us in Jannah and Kawthar River. Ameen.
Stick to the Prophet’s Sunnah to join those who have won.

POEM: Wear The Right Hijab For Allah's Sake

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful


The Hijab for Allah’s sake is to cover,
Conceal one’s adornments that should be treasured.
A woman’s gems must be reserved for her spouse,
Not meant to tempt strangers, distract nor arouse.

Wear the Hijab to obey Allah the King,
To be distinguished from the disobedient,
As Muslimahs on the Right Way to be seen,
Known as followers of the true religion.

Muslimahs are free, not enslaved by fashion.
What clothes to wear is not a daily problem.
Be liked for who you are, not for your clothing.
Born to worship God, not serve His creation.

The best Hijab is the one which covers most,
Wear what conceals beauty, not attractive clothes.
The more self-respect a woman truly has,
The more she’ll try to properly cover up.

If you’re proud of something and you should flaunt it,
Show the fact you’re Muslim, chaste and obedient.
Recall how you’re here to please Allah Only,
Long for Allah’s Love through faith and modesty.

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: Regarding Those Who Are Incompatible

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful


Recall your purpose in life, to please Allah,
To see our God, the Creator, in Jannah.
Because not all creation have the same goal,
With each one it makes sense you can’t get along.

So forget about those who rejected you,
Who betrayed and proved their friendship is not true.
No more stalking from now on those you don’t know,
Strangers who prefer to be by you unknown.

Haters are but critics who differ from us,
Too different from us, or just envious.
Your friends, even if few, are those who agree
To stand by you and join you in your journey.

If you’re sincere and aim to please Only God,
You won’t get on with clowns who live to show off.
If your self-esteem is high and ego low,
You’ll intimidate those who feel they’re below.

The truthful can’t get on with those who love lies.
The wise repel those who dislike real advice.
Beautiful souls scare those with evil inside.
Tough warriors are too strong for those who can’t fight.

Seldom would you see lions befriending snakes.
Never take offence when you’re ignored by fakes.
Move on to achieve your goals for Allah’s sake,
Even if you’re on your own towards God’s Way.

Around the world there are those who side with you,
Who do a lot of the good things that you do.
Unmet friends you may meet in Jannah someday.
Never alone, God is with us night and day.
