POEM: Similar Souls Likely Get Along

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
    With Allah’s Will similar souls get along.
    Good souls click with the right, bad ones with the wrong.
    Those who share your goals in your circle belong,
    With your own team, not with all, you can get on.

    ____________
    So when you wonder why with this you both clicked,
    Your love increases with that each time you meet,
    While with others your likes and dislikes won’t fit,
    It’s because souls seek those not too different.

    ____________
    Never met them but I liked some instantly,
    Seeing them share gifts of knowledge lovingly.
    As for those few I loathe, yet I’ve known for years,
    Bad vibes they give out I don’t want to go near.

    ____________
    More likely to be friends with those more like you,
    If you’re truthful you’ll attract souls who are true,
    Liars and fakes won’t agree with what you do,
    With the deceitful you’ll more often dispute.

    ____________
    Your friends may define you, choose them carefully.
    May Allah Almighty grant ability
    To pick wisely – quality then quantity,
    Good companions who want Jannah too. Ameen.
    ____________
    Imam Al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) reported in his Sahih that 'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “I heard the Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu alaihi wa sallam saying: ‘Souls are like conscripted soldiers; those whom they recognize, they get along with, and those whom they do not recognize, they will not get along with.’”
    (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Kitab Ahadith Al-Anbiyaa’).

    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: Forgive And Unite As One Ummah

    In the Name of Allah
    The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
      Love for Allah’s sake Muslims and family,
      Include each other’s names in du’as daily.
      True love is found in advising sincerely,
      Guiding to what’s right which brings serenity.
      ____________
      Don’t let vile pride stop you from understanding,
      Nor let arrogance keep you from forgiving.
      Prone to err and forget, as human beings,
      All have flaws and reasons for every doing.
      ____________
      Though improbable to get along with all,
      To stay polite with morals it’s possible.
      Put yourself in their shoes, understand their call,
      Recall no one’s perfect and impeccable.
      ____________
      Tips to not hate those whom you must love: Listen.
      Pay attention to their side. Learn expressions.
      List good times you had and when you needed them.
      Forgive like you would long to be forgiven.
       ____________
      Forgive for Allah’s sake the Most Merciful.
      Move on to meet relief and sleep whilst peaceful.
      Did you know, satan cheers when Muslims quarrel.
      Unite as one Ummah to win life’s battles.
      ____________
      Allah the Almighty said, “So know (O Muhammad – peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that La ilaha ill-Allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), and ask forgiveness for your sin, and also for (the sin of) believing men and believing women.” [The Noble Qur'an 47:19]

      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.

      POEM: O' Allah Forgive My Dear Parents. Ameen.

      In the Name of Allah
      The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

        O’ Allah, the Most Merciful, Most Loving,
        Some good deeds my parents did back when living,
        As a witness that my parents did their best,
        Praying Jannatul Ferdaus is where they rest:

        Dear Allah, I remember those nights back then
        Seeing my parents pray Tahajjud often,
        My Dad as my Mom’s Imam, I’d find them both
        Praying together for success in both worlds.

        My Mom, a great mom, did whatever she could
        To fulfill our needs, she cleaned, sew clothes and cooked,
        Woke us early for Fajr Salah on time,
        Was always there to love, feed, hug and advise.

        Before going to school I’d kiss her goodbye,
        Writing her Islamic books as I’d arrive.
        Always busy researching about Islam,
        She taught me lessons I had to understand.

        My Dad, a wonderful dad, tried his best too
        In caring for us, buying supplies for school.
        Often he’d come home from work with lots of sweets,
        Ensure we had blankets before he would sleep.

        Many times he’d assist with school assignments.
        Though closer to Mom, my Dad was still my friend.
        I recall that time he sat right next to me
        To prevent boys mixing, to teach modesty.

         MashaAllah both were active in Da’wah,
        Sharing Islamic talks and giving Zakah.
        Saw how they’d donate boxes of food and clothes
        To needy loved ones and refugees unknown.

        Always concerned for oppressed Muslims worldwide,
        In Iraq, Kashmir, Chechnya, Palestine,
        And all countries, they did whatever they could
        Through du’as and teaching Islam as all should.

        My parents too loved feeding stray cats and birds,
        Strived to teach us good manners and keep us learned.
        From Mom’s advice is not to be material,
        To have good manners. From Dad: to stay faithful.

        Before Mom died, I helped her pray her prayers,
        Lifting her arms, saying ‘Allahu Akbar’.
        On seeing Dad passed in ICU, told him
        ‘You’re a martyr, we’ll meet in Jannah again.’

        No nights and days pass without sorrow greeting,
        May my tears expiate all my sins. Ameen.
        May Allah Almighty always grant Mercy
        And unite me with my parents in Jannah. Ameen.
        Allah the Almighty said, “And We have enjoined on man to be dutiful and kind to his parents.” [The Noble Qur'an 46:15]

        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.
