POEM: First Wife - His Fighter In Love

In the Name of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
    She loves God Allah first and foremost before her man,
    She loves her husband in ways Only God understands.
    She knows that to be his first wife is from Allah’s Plan,
    She’s his treasure, so she loves him as much as she can....
    💛
    He’s plain? In Jannah she knows he’ll be more good-looking.
    Not pious? She’s more than glad to teach him religion.
    They don’t talk always? In Jannah is their real meeting.
    Wed to two to four wives? It’s alright, she still loves him.
    💚
    She deserves better? She knows, yet she accepts God’s Will.
    He doesn’t see her enough? Jannah is Eternal.
    She loves him like she’s his gift from the Most Merciful,
    For God’s sake she loves, since the first time her love stays real.
    💛
    Aware of evil forces that try to split them up,
    Unwilling to comply with their desires, she still loves,
    She loves her husband stubbornly, though it may be tough,
    She won’t leave him to please their foes, thus she won’t give up.
    💚
    She’s a fighter in love, for Allah she loves truly.
    She loves her spouse till he departs this world peacefully,
    And if there’s a next one she’ll love him similarly -
    For now he’s her only man she loves so faithfully.
    💛
    When she loves, she loves for God, not just anybody.
    Her love life is a complex yet loving mystery,
    A puzzle to solve through sacrifice and poetry,
    A journey of lessons learned by those who love bravely.
    💚
    May our marriage be blessed by Allah the Almighty,
    May Allah Most Kind love us for our faith and good deeds,
    And for our striving May Allah fulfill our best dreams,
    May Allah prove all someday that it’s worth it. Ameen.
    💛
    Allah's beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu alaihi wa sallam said: “If a woman offers her five daily prayers, fasts her month (Ramadan), guards her modesty and obeys her husband, it will be said to her: Enter Paradise by whichever of its gates you wish.”
    [Sahih Hadith]

    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 the uppermost level of Heaven 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: 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.

      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 the uppermost level of Heaven 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: On The Muslim Ummah's State

      In the Name of Allah
      The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

        Say “HasbunAllah wa Ni’m Al-Wakeel”, Allah knows
        All events that take place and mishaps caused by His foes.
        Allah saw what happened in Syria and Palestine,
        Rohingya, Burma, Iraq – to all innocent lives.

        Negative news of Muslims may be a wake-up call,
        For all Muslims to unite as oppression befalls,
        A search for peaceful warriors who’ll stand by the oppressed,
        Through charity and speaking out against injustice.

        To criminals: “What goes around comes around” please note,
        If justice is not served on earth then in the next world.
        Don’t do unto others what you don’t want done to you.
        Peace can be achieved though we vary in what we do.

        To oppressors: Don’t let your pride get the best of you.
        Evil has its consequences. God’s Justice is True.
        It’s possible to attain peace without greed and wars,
        If you listen to all sides, support truth, not liars.

        To Muslims: Forgive each other, show Islam is peace,
        Practice what you preach, share your knowledge out of mercy.
        Through certain trials Allah takes martyrs, sins fall off,
        Islam promoted, Muslims tested on faith and love.

        To non-Muslims: Please study Islam. Don’t just assume.
        As Muslims, we’re discouraged from violence and feuds.
        We’re taught to teach Islam kindly, not spread it by force,
        To make things easy through good manners, not make things worse.

        May Allah accept our faith that God is Only One,
        Who witnessed all that took place, what has been said and done,
        May Allah welcome us in Jannah for our good deeds,
        And may Allah prove all that Islam is Peace. Ameen.

        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 the uppermost level of Heaven Jannatul Firdaus next to Him and His beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu alaihi wa sallam. Allahumma Innaka 'Afuwwun Kareemun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu 'annaa. Ameen.
