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: 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.

___________________

Dear Allah the Most Kind, Most Just and Most Near,
Yet again I’m here, I call on You, in tears.
As I raise my hands facing down so humbly,
I pray: “Allahumma Innaka ‘Afuwwun Tuhebbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘annee.”
Dear Allah Most Forgiving, forgive me please.

Dear Allah, I’m overwhelmed, stressed, tired and weak.
Your Mercy and Guidance O’ Allah I seek.
Allah, I miss my loved ones and family,
That I can’t take care of them all I’m sorry.
Please alleviate my struggles and worries.

I’m sorry I didn’t do much, Allah Dear,
Some bad traits of mine have not yet disappeared.
So beautify my character, guide me please,
Cause me to overcome obstacles with ease,
And make the Path to Jannah ever easy.

O’ Allah, for every moment, stay with me,
Enlighten through lessons and prophetic dreams.
Keep forgiving me when I slack frequently,
The Way to Your Love don’t allow me to leave.
Dear Allah, Only You I worship daily.

O’ Allah, please help Muslims worldwide in need,
Please fix our state as we bow to You Only.
With what You bestowed inspire us to be pleased,
That we see You in Paradise please decree,
Our good deeds accept, and our sins forgive, please.

Allahumma Innaka ‘Afuwwun Tuhebbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘annee. Ameen.

POEM: Good Teachers v.s. Bad Teaching Style

In The Name Of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

From teachers I've observed at schools I've been to,
And surveys of students regarding their likes,
With God's Will I've gathered nine differences
Between good teachers and bad teachers unwise:
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
One: Bad teachers teach with insincerity,
Full of lies, they mainly work for the money.
Good teachers teach sincerely for Allah's sake,
To help and share their knowledge out of mercy.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Two: Bad teachers are often late or absent,
Late to arrive in class, early to go home.
Good teachers are regularly on time, and
Don't mind completing their work in class alone.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Three: Bad teachers get angry when asked questions -
Lessons unclear - for them 'one word is enough'.
Good teachers are ready to answer and help,
They love making things easy that which is tough.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Four: Bad teachers lack good manners and kind words.
No words of encouragement - they hate to smile.
Good teachers are motherly, fatherly, nice -
Meetings with their students are fun and worthwhile.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Five: Bad teachers treat parents as enemies -
They hate them in class, like they have things to hide.
Good teachers see parents as friends or teammates,
And they welcome guests to their class anytime.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Six: Bad teachers are so good at backbiting -
They speak badly of both teachers and students.
Good Muslim teachers know that God is Watching,
Gossip shows one's ignorance - and imprudence.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Seven: Bad teachers take their class for granted -
They don't correct mistakes, and don't grade on time.
Good teachers are always honest in grading,
And are proud, not jealous, when a student shines.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Eight: Bad teachers refuse to lead or follow -
They're passive - or the school's rules they contradict.
Good teachers have initiative to do right -
Both leaders and followers, they're not too strict.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Nine: Bad teachers don't take control of their class.
With their class so noisy, not all students learn.
Good teachers are able to quiet a class
Of many students, through being kind and firm.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
While each teacher has his/her own teaching style,
What's important is that knowledge is received.
Countries can thrive when all are educated
And are willing to help meet each other's needs.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
The Prophet Muhammad* is the best teacher -
Many lessons and good morals he had taught.
Teachers, know that teaching is a trust from God.
Thus, do your best, as it's the most noble job.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
May Allah the Most Kind accept our good deeds,
And reward us for teaching all that we know.
Ameen. So teach for Allah's sake, keep learning,
Educate, inspire, love - the Way to God show.

*SallAllahu alaihi wa sallam~

POEM: Niqabis, wear niqab for Allah's sake.

In The Name Of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Niqabis, wear the niqaab for Allah’s sake,
Or the full face-veil to differentiate
Yourself as a Muslimah from those astray,
Not to feel superior, you wish to obey....
___________________
Stay modest as the *Prophet Muhammad’s wives,
Who were known to be clad in black when outside,
By their voices or style they were recognized,
Their gems and adornments, like true queens, they’d hide.
___________________
With the niqaab, no man needs to know your age,
No need for heavy make-up each night and day,
Judged not by looks, but by what you do and say,
A reminder for some to lower the gaze.
___________________
Fear Allah Almighty as much as you can,
When asked to unveil face for checkpoint reasons,
Find ways to comply without any problems.
Acts are rewarded based on their intentions.
___________________
While obeying God some struggles you may meet,
Be steadfast, in Jannah is real bliss and peace.
May Allah forgive us, accept our good deeds,
And allow us to see Him smiling. Ameen.

*SallAllahu alaihi wa sallam~

POEM: What Some Friends Have Taught Me Regarding Friendship

In The Name Of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Some lessons on friendship I've learned from old friends,

Friends of various types and personalities -

No lies as always, no guessing nor pretense,

Just taking some lessons from past memories.

From Saudi friends - at private and public schools,

I've learned that stereotyping is but a lie,

Friends can be found in both the cool and uncool,

Friendship develops when both parties are kind.

From friends who come from their country Pakistan,

I've learned how generosity forms liking,

To be close to someone help and understand,

Egoism may keep one from forgiving.

From Yemeni sisters whom I still recall,

I've learned that at times one must make the first move,

Accept the friendship of those who are sincere,

For strong bonds are seen between friends who are true.

From a special ex-friend who chose to stay far,

I've learned that when you love find a middle way,

Don't love or hate too much, some friends become foes,

And some strangers may transform to friends someday.

Now from some of the new friends recently made,

I've observed that Only Allah we can trust,

It's best to be with Him than befriend some fakes,

Who talk badly and clearly put on an act.

While some may hate you out of mere jealousy,

There are those few who can be your best of friends,

Who insist on sharing, seeing you happy,

And who secretly pray for you now and then.

What makes some people click and get along quick,

From experience, is when both friends are alike,

In terms of shared likes, dislikes, similar goals,

Comfort with each other and distance from lies.

Regardless of how many friends you have made,

Friendship with Allah is what matters the most.

Some Muslims on earth may not be that famous,

Yet Allah and those in Heaven love them so.

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: 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’).
www.islamqa.info/en/3864

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]

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.

Wasalaam~

Mariam

SONNET: Allah Sees What Tyrants Do

In the Name of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Allahu Akbar. Allah knows all things.
Allah sees each one and knows how each thinks.
Don’t fret over why evildoers sin,
To Hell those vile folks may have been destined.
~.~
Allah knows liars when they trick and lie,
How snakes try to separate man and wife,
Why hypocrites pretend, whom fakes misguide,
And where the ungrateful will soon abide.
~.~
Allah sees all tyrants, those who deceive,
Those who break promises, steal and mistreat,
Who try to take people’s lands unjustly,
Who from them may change ways eventually.
~.~
Recall Fir’awn and what happened to him.
Shaytan vowed his followers should not win.

All will Inn-sha-Allah receive their rewards justly if not in this world then on Judgment Day~

Wasalaam~
