POEM: InshaAllah We Look Forward To Meeting Our Parents In Heaven

In The Name Of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

INNA LILLAAHI WA INNA ILAIHI RAAJI'OON.
To Allah we belong and to Him we return.


Full orphans in our twenties by Allah’s Will -
Our dear Mom passed away on Yawm ‘Ashooraa,
After just a few months dear Dad followed her,
He died too as a Shahid in Dhul-Qi’daa.

Both were very studious as children and teens,
In their adult years they did their best as well.
As parents they did a remarkable job,
Were pretty strict but had fun stories to tell -

I thank our mother for the great meals she cooked,
I too thank our dad for the food he would buy,
I thank our mom for preparing us for school,
Our dad for the money he gave and car drives.

There are many things we’re grateful to them for -
Listing them would take a large amount of time.
Alhamdulillah, though they left earth too soon,
We have learned a lot from them before they died.

First, to share are some good deeds they used to do -
Not to brag – just to follow their noble ways:
Regularly they sought Islamic knowledge,
Researched about Islam almost every day,

Each week, or when they had a chance, they’d attend
Islamic gatherings/classes in Saudi -
They’d learn about Islam, Arabic, Qur’an -
Did Da’wah to various nationalities.

Traveling worldwide was Dad’s job benefit,
Our travels were but means to thank Allah more.
To prove that they were thankful, they taught Islam,
Gave charity, and treated well all neighbors.

They brought us up well to be better Muslims,
Who at an early age learned to pray on time,
To not make fun of others, and never steal,
To behave, and about Islam teach and write.

We could have lived a very material life -
With our Dad working at a big company,
With opportunities to travel worldwide,
Go out shopping and dining each day and night -

But due to their love of Allah and mercy,
To move to the Philippines our parents chose,
To make use of the money which Allah gave
In sharing Islam and teaching what they know.

So they built a Masjid and Islamic school,
As a charity and Waqf for Allah’s sake -
Reliable Muslims may share the reward
Through volunteering or their will to donate.

It’s Amaana / a trust, purely for Allah,
A place where you can learn about true Islam -
We’ve no intentions to cause harm nor show off,
With mercy, we’re here to help you understand

That Islam means peaceful submission to God,
Allah the Great, the One Creator of all.
To be true Muslims is to worship Allah,
To have good manners and answer Allah’s Call.

Quick lessons from our beloved parents’ lives:
With Allah’s Will hard work can lead to success.
Also too much of something is never good,
Never be extreme, once in a while take rests.

Pray Tahajjud, as our Mom and Dad did too,
Recite Surah Al-Kahaf every Friday,
Say your good du’as – though not all are answered,
One small good deed can save you on Judgment Day.

Some advice from our parents which I recall:
Have Faith and good manners wherever you are,
Be humble, be modest, don’t brag nor envy,
Learn to listen, care for loved ones near and far,

Share what you can share, and stick to each other,
Stick to the Qur’an and the Prophet’s Sunnah.
Wherever we are, Allah is always there,
Various routes but one destination: Jannah.

It’s Friday now, so Muslims say your du’as,
Pray for our parents too, please forgive their faults,
Forgive each other, and our debts if we have,
May Allah the Most Kind forgive all our wrongs.
Ameen.

Since our parents are no longer on FB,
I’ve decided to stop checking this website
To inshaAllah fulfill our parents’ wish,
To memorize Qur’an or give it a try.

If a Muslim in her eighties could do it,
If so many managed to learn Allah’s Word,
InshaAllah if eager you can do it,
To learn the Qur’an you’re not too young nor old.

May Allah make our tears and good deeds speak for
Us on Judgment Day by His utmost Mercy,
May He reunite us in Firdaus/Heaven
And May we meet Him while He is with us pleased.
Ameen.

Wasalaam,

Mariam M.

POEM: Old Poem - Why My Spouse And I Don't Use FaceBook

In the Name of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

http://www.wathakker.info/english/designs/view.php?id=878

When asked why I no longer have an account

On facebook dot com, this is what I would say:

No strange facebook addiction would mean no stress

Checking on negative posts each night and day,

No looking at photos which I should not view,

Pics of meetups where I was uninvited,
Of people showcasing what they want to show,
Who with themselves are so infatuated.

No passing by someone you dislike online,
No comments that may offend or cause debate,
No comparing oneself with someone's fake state,
No fishing for 'likes', no excuse to pray late.

Now the main reason why I'm not on facebook
And God knows best - is to prove my loyalty -
Loyalty to my one and only husband,
Who has not one facebook account, just like me -

As his true wife Alhamdulillah, I would
Never form relations with a non-Mahram -
I've no connections with other men but he -
In real life and in dreams: my one and only husband.

(MashaAllah) Wasalaam~
Mariam & Nomayri

SONNET: Forgive For Allah's Sake

In the Name of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Wouldn't you like that Allah forgives you and Allah is
the Most Forgiving the Most Merciful.

To all those who read this, Muslims, forgive,
And to those who don’t read this, forgive too,
If I ever made your lives hard to live,
Forgive me for the wrongs I did to you.

So I am sorry if from you I took
Anything which I thought belonged to me,
Like a piece of clothing, a pen or book,
Forgive my flaws and my being clumsy,

And to those whom I owe any money…
If I could not pay you back, forgive still,
For the mistakes I’ve done, I am sorry,
With blessings may your days always be filled.

May Allah forgive me and those I’ve wronged,
And make Heaven the place where we’ll belong.
Ameen.

Wasalaam~
Mariam M.

It was narrated that Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said,
“Whoever has wronged his brother (or sister in Islam) with regard to his honour or something (example: by telling lies, ridiculing or stealing from him knowingly or unintentionally), let him ask him for forgiveness before the time (Judgment Day) when there will be neither dinar nor dirham (to pay for one's wrongs), and if he has any good deeds it will be taken from him in proportion to the wrong he did, and if he does not have any good deeds, some of the other person's evil deeds will be taken and given to his account.”
 [Sahih Bukhari]

POEM: My Travel Is Only To Allah

In the Name of Allah

The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

An old poem I found
from my beloved father's laptop (May Allah the Almighty have mercy on both my loving parents and may Allah the Most Merciful reunite me and my loved ones with them in Firdaus/Heaven near Allah and His noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam by Allah's Mercy. Ameen.)

Source: www.SaudiAirlines.com

I believe this poem was written on Friday February 28, 2014

Today I talked to Allah this Friday morn,
Today I spoke to God, said my good du’as,
By God’s Will and Mercy, this is His response,
After reading the great Surat Al-Kahaf.

I write these lines –about one eighty of them,
Each line containing eleven syllables,
About the sweet memories that I still have
Of countries I’ve been to and places travelled.

First, I was born in Saudi, MashaAllah -
Saudi Arabia –the best country on earth.
I’ve performed Hajj many times, MashaAllah -
I’ve tons of memories here of joy and mirth.

In Riyadh, I have studied at many schools,
Have gone through many kinds of experiences,
Have met nice people from different countries,
Got along well despite our differences,

Joined in some public radio and T.V. shows,
Was in school clubs where I’d learn to speak on stage,
At school I was known for my creative skills
And for being among those who got high grades.

More sweet memories Allah wants me to write:
The funny looks I exchanged with my classmates
Of various colors, from colorful countries -
And with them the many games I used to play.

My Saudi friends complimenting my writing,
My British pal naming me ‘Bubblegum Girl’,
My teachers commending me on my artwork,
And soccer buddies scared when I’d have the ball -

The beautiful views of the Ka’bah far-off,
The wondrous moments of performing ‘Umrah,
The many lessons learned when performing Hajj -
Are among sweet memories MashaAllah!

Now quick mentions of more countries I’ve been to:
I remember Dad driving us, with his car,
On a group journey, with many ‘Pinoy friends’,
To Kuwait/Bahrain, exploring some tower.

 I recall the times we’d wait at some airports,
In countries like Bangladesh, Greece and Oman,
And in the country where many look alike,
Where my Dad can blend in well –in cool Japan.

I remember the clowns who gave us balloons,
At some aquatic park, Sea World, in Hong Kong,
 In the aquarium various creatures we’ve seen,
The tricks the whales and dolphins did without wrongs. 

In Langkawi too I recall the visit
We paid to a park called ‘Underwater World’,
More sea creatures we’ve seen there, facts about them,
And cool aquatic stuff that were being sold.

In the capital city of Malaysia,
I recall the times we’ve been to the towers,
The visits to various parks, like Genting Park,
And the funny monkeys chasing my brothers.

And that time I took classes at a uni.
Where my Mother was invited to lecture,
How I got to know many Asian Muslims,
Meeting one of them in Makkah thereafter.

More memories on our trips to Malaysia:
Visiting one of the sultans’ huge palace,
The zoo, the bird park, and butterfly gardens,
And the pools where my loved ones loved to relax.

Now moving on to Singapore, I recall:
The visits to the zoo and night safari,
Various shopping malls, restaurants and hotels,
And Sentosa Island –with my family.

In Indonesia I recall our visit
To a Muslim School –I think we’ve been there twice,
I recall my brothers playing soccer there -
And how sitting with the V.I.P.’s was… nice.

At the masjid there, I recall admiring
How the students would get up early to pray
And then memorize Surahs from the Qur’an -
And how this school was unique in many ways.

Anyway, now moving on to Thailand, I
Recall visiting some kind of museum,
I recall how Thai Airways was so comfy,
How I liked their outfits and decorations.

More countries I’ve been to include Qatar… but
We’ve only stayed at the airport, honestly,
So another country I can mention is
One that is also near Saudi: U.A.E.

There we’ve been to Dubai and Abu Dhabi,
We went to a park, many photos we took,
Many malls we’ve been to, restaurants as well,
And at many interesting things we’ve looked.

I recall my parents meeting two friends there,
Who helped us go sight-seeing in the city,
We ate at a cool Japanese restaurant,
And then at a Mid-Eastern one, I believe.

Another place where my parents met two friends
Is in the busy, cool city of London.
With them we had a walk at a well-known park,
And dined with them at an Indian restaurant,

Where ‘tis funny how I still recall a teen’s
Grimace after eating a dish so spicy -
The walks we had around the wax museum,
And how I thought the cab ride was so nifty.

After that, we had some snacks –twin ice-cream cones,
With Time Out or Flakes chocolate at the top -
I recall more museums we’ve been to, there,
And waiting at the double-decker bus stops.

A bit near England is France –we’ve been there too,
There, in Paris, we have been to Disneyland -
We’ve also been to the one in the U.S.
Where English lang. we were glad to understand.

In the U.S. we’ve visited many parks,
Among them Knott's Berry Farm, Walt Disney World,
J.K. Space Center, Universal Studios,
And other places forgotten to be told.

I do recall that time in Mississippi,
Where we rode a boat, went to an aquarium,
And that time we went to strange Mardi Gras World -
Where we saw many masks and parade customs.

Another place where we toured more museums
And towers is Egypt, where we saw ‘Fir’awn’ -
We’ve seen the pyramids and the so-called ‘Sphinx’,
Have seen many views in that Egyptian town -

I recall going up the Cairo Tower,
And the many times my bros would buy a ball -
Many balls they’d purchase and many they’d lose -
Many sweet memories I can still recall…

Like that ‘almost-one-month-vacation’ abroad
In a milk-producing country called Denmark,
We’ve stayed at the house of my Dad’s friend –‘tis strange
How I still recall his name: ‘Eric Emborg’.

I recall the times we rode on those buses
To malls and stores we would go for grocery -
Exchanging smiles with an Arab family
And the fun times we’ve had at Park Tivoli.

Many memories I have of our travels,
And fortunately, they’re too many to list -
I can gladly say that one’s joys in life could
Be among the many kinds of Allah’s tests.

So my answers to God’s tests are in these lines:
Alhamdulillah, Praise is for God alone,
I thank Allah for the good He’s given me,
I pray God makes Heaven my Eternal Home,

Near Him Allah and His Beloved Prophets,
I pray that by Allah’s Mercy I’m near Him -
For the tears I’ve shed for Allah’s sake, for my
Du’as –begging God to forgive all my sins.

My next answer is some advice to Muslims,
Dear Muslims who bow down to Allah only,
‘Tis foolish to look at the lives of others
Who foolishly care about sin and money.

When it comes to worldly things, see those below…
Look at those who can’t afford the things you have.
Look at those who can’t do the good things you do -
Pray for those who know not what ‘tis like to laugh.

When it comes to faith, look at those near Allah,
Strive to reach their level or do much better,
They’ve memorized the Qur’an, prayed many times,
Their goal is to succeed in the Hereafter.

When non-Muslim ‘friends’ come to you to show off
Their temporal pleasures and sad so-called ‘joys’,
Pity their low self-esteem, high ignorance,
If they don’t turn to God, in Hell they’ll enjoy…

They will enjoy regretting how they were lost
In their misguidance and in their daily sins,
They’ll enjoy attaining the sins of Muslims
While the Muslims enjoy God’s gifts in Heaven.

And my next answer to Allah’s tests is this:
Do not think that traveling in life is grand,
Don’t think that if Allah gave others a chance
To travel, Allah’s Love you misunderstand.

Allah gave things to some people as a test,
And prevented things from some –as a test too.
Good times and bad times are among Allah’s tests,
To see if your Faith/Iman is indeed True,

So that those who mistreat you collect your sins,
And if they’re Muslims, you collect their good deeds -
This is why all acts of oppression must be
Shunned, while in God Allah, we Muslims believe.

And did you know, dear Muslims, that all of us
Are travelers in this grand journey called ‘Life’?
To reach the wanted destination, Heaven,
Pack the right things, shun bad deeds that bring forth strife.

So Allahu Akbar wherever we are,
Our goal is to travel to Heaven only,
To be near God Allah, be amongst His friends,
Heaven by God’s Mercy is our destiny.

Wasalaam~
Mariam M.

POEM: Twenty Thoughts / Reflections Of A Traveler

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Twenty thoughts to reflect upon while meditating:
One: Think again, what's the purpose of your creation?
Two: See yourself, and count the blessings that surround you -
Among the best gifts from God is that you are Muslim.

Three: Go back in time, when you were a kid - remember -
The very first day you went to school, and made new friends.
What lessons have you learned, and knowledge you still recall?
Four: How long is your list of good deeds? And sweet moments?

Five: Name each person whom you may have hurt in the past.
Six: Have you apologized to all those you have wronged?
Try to compensate for your mistakes, or pray for those
Whom you laughed at, lied to, or whom you left all alone.

Seven: What sins are you guilty of which you still do?
Strive to stop committing sins before you leave this world.
Eight: What good deeds have you done sincerely for Allah?
Nine: Ties with your loved ones and friends how do you uphold?

Ten: What evidence do you have for your love of God?
What good have you done to believe that Allah loves you?
Eleven: Recall the times when Allah made you smile -
Be thankful to Allah for them even if they're few.

Twelve: Can you make a list of good qualities you have?
Note that if you can't do good then avoid doing bad.
Thirteen: Those people you hate, why do you loathe them so?
If you could always see them, would you know who they are?

Fourteen: Put yourself in those people's shoes, and reflect -
Understand their worries and why they do what they do.
Some mistreat out of jealousy, some because they're forced.
Fifteen: Think of other people's states - what they go through.

Sixteen: If you could go back in time, what would you fix?
Is there a way to mend it, even by repenting?
Seventeen: None is perfect except Allah The King.
We're all servants of Allah and travelers to Him.

Eighteen: Each has a story - its own plot and ending.
Think of those tyrants who left this world with people's sins.
Then think of good legends who brought their good deeds with them.
And then That Day when all will be judged for each doing.

Nineteen: Learn to be more wise by constantly learning -
Learning from mistakes and from those whom God makes you meet.
Twenty: This world is temporal. Its joys are fleeting.
One Day you'll meet Allah to reward you for your deeds.

That you're reading this is a gift from God, so thank Him.
May Allah the Most Forgiving forgive us always,
May Allah join us with His righteous friends whom He loves,
Whom by His Mercy He'll greet smiling on Judgment Day.
Ameen.

Wasalaam~

ISLAMIC NOTES: The Etiquettes Of Handshaking In Islam

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Three types of reactions when you encounter or come across someone you know outside, whether at a mall, park, city or country you both are traveling to:

1. You spot each other, recognize each other then quickly look away or walk the other way, hoping your acquaintance did not see you or does not come up to you to start a conversation <- sign of a fake friend or "frenemy".

2. You see each other, remember that bad experience between you two which you arrogantly refuse to forget or forgive, and yet flagrantly walk past each other without a word or smile <- sign of a genuine enemy. A true Muslim who is loved and guided by Allah would be the first to say salaam in this case or at least give some sadaqa/charity by smiling for Allah's sake.

3. You identified each other and were really happy you both were at the same place, yet you simply exchanged smiles and friendly nods <- sign of friendship between shy people.

4. You notice and recognize one another, are pleasantly surprised to find each other in the same area, say the salaams and exchange hugs, handshakes or sincere greetings especially to follow the Sunnah tradition of the noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam in having good/exemplary manners <- sign of true friendship, brotherhood or sisterhood in Islam.

It was narrated that Allah's Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alahi wa sallam said, "No two Muslims who meet each other and shake hands but Allah will inshaAllah forgive both their wrongdoings before they part."
[Sunan Abu Dawud]

When a Muslim shakes hands with another Muslim after some time of not seeing each other, Allah will inshaAllah forgive them.
Note: males only shake hands with males, and females with females.
A female may shake hands with her mahram males such as her father, grandfather, husband, brothers and sons although it may be best if a Muslimah shook hands only with sisters in Islam. Allah the Almighty knows best.

ISLAMIC NOTES: Lessons From The Prophet Muhammad's Love Life | The Types Of Marriages Muslims May Be In

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

-From my previous blogs at muslimarvels.tumblr.com and muslimarvels.blogspot.com

Why did the noble Messenger Muhammad [SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam] marry many wives? He [SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam] was married to several wives to teach Muslims the different kinds of marriages they are allowed to be in. Before some start having doubts about the beloved Messenger Muhammad [SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam]'s love life, learn more about Islam before you judge out of ignorance, and take note that:

A: It was a custom many centuries ago for men to marry multiple women. For some, the more wives a man had, the more noble or superior he appeared. Many males back then would be wed to dozens of wives until the ruling in Islam lessened the unlimited number of wives into a maximum of four.
B: It is permitted for a Muslim man to have up to four wives, if capable, for the following reasons: 1- To ensure that, if not all, at least most women are legally married, since it is a known fact that the number of females are far greater than the number of males worldwide. 2- To prevent divorce, separation and disputes between families, as Islam is a way of life that promotes peace and mercy. 3- To increase the number of Muslims who love Allah and His noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam, so that if one or two of the wives of a man are unable to give kids, still his third or fourth wives can bear more children without leaving the other wives.

Through the blessed marriages of the noble Messenger Muhammad [SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam] Muslims have learned that it is okay for a Muslim man to marry:
1// his female boss or employer, a woman of a wealthy background, a woman who is a lot richer than him, a woman who is several years older than him - through the Prophet's marriage with his first wife Khadijah Bint Khuwaylid.
__________________
2// a woman who is heavier than him, plus-size or plump or a woman of dark skin [No racism in Islam] - through the Prophet's marriage with Sawdaa Bint Zam'ah.
__________________
3// a virgin, a female who has reached the age of puberty who is a lot younger than him and shares mutual feelings of love - through the Prophet's marriage with 'Aishah Bint Abu Bakr.
__________________
4// his friend's daughter, or a young widow - through the Prophet's marriage with Hafsa Bint 'Umar Bin Al-Khattab.
__________________
5// the half sister of another wife, and to marry during the noble month of Ramadan while abiding by Allah's Rules - through the Prophet's marriage with Zainab Bint Khuzaimah.
__________________
6// the divorced wife of an adopted son, a divorcee, to stay married to wives who share the same names, and to marry one's paternal or maternal cousin - through the Prophet's marriage with Zainab Bint Jahsh.
__________________
7// an old widow, a woman who already has children from previous husbands - through the Prophet's marriage with Umm Salama Hind Bint Abu Umayyah.
__________________
8// one's maid servant or employee, or a woman from a different tribe/nationality/ethnicity to form peaceful relations - through the Prophet's marriage with Juwairiyah Bint Al-Harith.
__________________
9// in absentia, to have the Walima or marriage contract officially signed even if the groom is in one country while the bride is in another country, and the daughter of one's enemy also to form peaceful relations - through the Prophet's marriage with Umm Habiba Ramla Bint Abu Sufyan.
__________________
10// a woman who assertively takes the initiative to propose to him for marriage - through the Prophet's marriage with Maimoonah Bint Al-Harith.
__________________
11// a woman of low social status, a Christian woman who may inshaAllah embrace Islam - through the Prophet's marriage with Maariya Al-Qubtiyyah.
__________________
12// a Jewish woman who may inshaAllah become a true Muslim, and a woman whose marriage may fix the affairs of one's people - through the Prophet's marriage with Safiyyah Bint Huyayy.

Therefore, in Islam, one's age, social and ethnic backgrounds do not necessarily matter when looking for a wife - what is important is the mutual love, understanding and agreement between husband and wife/wives. Allah the Almighty knows best.

My beloved mother's article on the Wisdom Behind The Prophet Muhammad's Marriages [May Allah the Most Merciful forgive all our mistakes, accept all our good deeds, join us with Allah's righteous friends and welcome us in Firdaus/Heaven near Allah and His Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam by Allah's Mercy. Ameen. ]:
http://veiledinblack.blogspot.com/2006/02/polygamy-and-wisdom-behind-prophets.html
Some of my mother's books published at Darusalam Publishers:
http://justsharingislam.blogspot.com/2015/04/pictures-just-sharing-some-of-my-moms.html

Abu Hurayrah (May Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said: “A woman may be married for four things: for her wealth, for her lineage, for her beauty and for her religious commitment. Seek the one who is religiously-committed, may your hands be rubbed with dust (an Arabic term meaning 'May you succeed/prosper')."
[Sahih Bukhari / Sahih Muslim]

Poem: Just Some Advice From First Wife To Fellow Wives
http://justsharingislam.blogspot.com/2015/04/poem-just-some-advice-from-first-wife.html

It was narrated that Allah's Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Allah makes the way to Paradise/Jannah easy for whoever treads the path in search of knowledge [Islamic knowledge which is attained by learning more about Islam]." [Sahih Muslim].
