Some lessons and thoughts to share for Allah's sake:
One - things done for Allah are blissful and sweet.
Two - one way to regret is procrastinate.

Three - don't mind what fellow servants do or say.
Allah is The Judge, Only Him we should please.
Four - feelings of sadness wipe away one's sins.
Five - more Sunnah prayers bring joy and relief.

Six - talk to Allah more, and less with His slaves.
Allah is your Only Friend Whom you can trust.
Seven - a major reason why one would hate

Are sisters with knowledge - free of arrogance.
Nine - loyalty, humbleness, and righteousness
Are some traits that make a wife more elegant.

Ten - while it may take time to befriend someone,
Sharing similarities can bring you close.
Trust, love, shared goals and respect invite friendship,
Whereas lies and envy can make a friend go.

Eleven - keep learning more about Islam,
As seeking knowledge strengthens your faith/Imaan.
Twelve - at times, one should not be too quick to judge.
People's situations try to understand.

Thirteen - when busy, the days go by quickly.

Fifteen - those who do you good, pray for them, and
Pray too for Muslims you love for Allah's sake.
Worldwide there are best friends you have not met yet,
But you may stand next to them on Judgment Day.

May Allah Most Kind accept all our good deeds,
Forgive all our sins, bless us for our belief,
Reunite us in Heaven with our loved ones,
And see Allah smiling back at us. Ameen.

POEM: Three Groups Of Muslimahs On Social Media | Which Team Do You Fit In?

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Three groups of Muslimahs I've noticed these days,
When it comes to social media and its likes:
The first consists of young ones who love the Net,
Posting pics and updates, almost day and night -

Spoiling their timelines with photos of self-love,
Flaunting their selfies often with their hair shown,
Competing with others who likewise show off,
Begging for users' likes to prove they're not lone -

Some of them sin through spreading lies and gossip,
Insults about someone - said indirectly,
Some neglect Salah, some forget their duties,
Some are ashamed to befriend their family.

They waste their time when what they do don't make sense -
In collecting sins while Allah watches them.
May Allah bless them with Islamic knowledge,
And guide them to what leads to Him and Heaven.
Ameen.

The second group is of sisters who log on
To learn Islam and share God's Message with all.
Even when online they maintain good manners.
When prayer time comes, they answer Allah's Call.

Their updates are of meaningful messages,
Free of falsehood and that which would invite hate -
Useful tips and reminders they love to share,
They encourage good deeds, almost night and day.

Backbiting and hurting others they avoid.
With world news some of them would keep up to date,
Not to join in debates, but to supplicate
For all Muslims worldwide, every night and day.

The third team is of sisters whose numbers may
Be few - they're careful of what they say and do.
They're a mix of introverts and extroverts,
Who believe social media has no value.

They protect themselves from lies and showing off,
Boasting and interfering with others' lives.
A few of them may own some passive accounts,
For Allah just to maintain family ties.

Their time is mostly spent reading on Islam,
Fasting Sunnah fasts, or reading the Qur'an,
Attending Islamic classes, assisting
Others in what is right whenever they can,

Praying more Sunnah and Nawafil prayers,
Thanking Allah for the guidance He gave them,
And for not taking part in people's drama -
They love Allah's Love, not His slaves' attention.

This is not a message to not go online -
This is but reminders to myself and you:
This is our purpose: to worship Allah and
Be with him in Heaven for being Muslims true.

Love what and whom Allah loves. Hate what He hates.
Take care of your acts both online and offline.
Stay quiet when silence is best - speak when right.
And know that Allah watches all - all the time.

Wasalaam~
Mariam M.

POEM: By Allah's Mercy, On Earth He's My Only Husband

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

MashaAllah

Yes, by God's Will, he'll be my only spouse -
He's my husband - far or near, here or not.
To remarry - myself I won't allow.
I'm his gift from Allah, while he's my trust.

Many sweet memories I have of him,
Which only Allah knows about fully -
Me praying with him, him as Mu-adhin,
Teaching me how to cook and do laundry,

Our talks, his hugs, and dining together,
And his driving me in his various cars,
How from his trips he'd bring some souvenirs,
The many times he made me smile and laugh.

All those and countless others Allah knows.
Allah knows exactly why I love him.
Our love may not be pretentiously shown,
Though it's affirmed by Allah All-Knowing.

None can ever replace my husband's place -
One's first love is difficult to forget.
Should there be a replacement, it awaits
By God's Will in Heaven, where true joy rests.

SONNET: On Our Wedding Date

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 

MashaAllah and Alhamdulillah
Married since 25th October 2006 Shawwal

Words of Love from a treasure to a trust -
From a righteous wife to her only man:
To remain loyal for me 'tis a must.
All that you do I choose to understand. 

I don't need a ring to show we are wed.
Our God Allah witnessed our sweet wedding. 
No pretentious ring.  I'll have you instead -
You're my spouse - I'm your wife: true and loving. 

If for some reason, some assume you left,
With God's Mercy I'll find a way to you. 
No new relations. To just you I'm wed.
I'm your treasure - among the special few. 

Blest are men whose wives stay chaste and loyal,
Whose love lives hold many lessons royal.

"What makes the righteous Muslim wife different from other wives is her loyalty to her only spouse, her management of herself and his belongings, in how she understands him and for Allah's sake is always forgiving. She includes him in her du'as almost each night and day, willingly listens to each word he says, gives him advice, shows him the right way and helps him pray. She is thankful to Allah first and foremost, and is grateful to be married to her only husband in many ways. Allah Almighty knows best. "

Include all Muslims in your good du'as :)

POEM: Five Ways To Respond To The Jealous

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful


Quick advice to the youth regarding haters -
First off, we're here to please none but God Allah. 
Our main goal is to be welcome in Heaven,
In Paradise near Him and RasulAllah. 

Five ways to respond to some who show you hate:
One: Talk back in a fair way, or to advise. 
Their foolishness and flaws help them recognize. 
Answer though only if they are worth your time. 

Two: Understand them. Bullies are bullied too.
Their misery they try to put on others,
So much so the only way they fake a smile
Is through their sins and having people bothered. 

Three: Laugh likewise despite your laugh is secret. 
Walk away from their silliness while knowing -
That Allah and His Angels are there for you, 
And all their wrongs the Angels are recording. 

Four: Thank them, even if done so secretly.
They proved that you're above them while they're below.
Through them you were free of your sins they gathered.  
Through them, your worth and their envy became known. 

Five: To God Allah sincerely supplicate.
You may pray that those who wronged will be guided. 
You too have the freewill to pray against them.
The oppressed du'as are by God's Will answered.

When a group laughs at you, when some ridicule,
When one backbites or won't return your Salaam, 
Know Allah will surely judge them. Just move on. 
Their ignorance and jealousy - understand. 

Wasalaam~
Mariam M. 

A true Muslim loves for Allah's sake all those whom God Allah loves and hates for Allah's sake those whom He dislikes, while maintaining good Islamic manners at all times.

Note: Reminders to fast Sunnah fast on Muharram 9, 10 and 11 especially Yawm 'Ashoora InshaAllah this Friday. Try to fast at least the day before and/or after Muharram 10 for Allah's sake. Keep learning more about Islam and sharing your knowledge :)

Include all Muslims in your good du'as :)

May Allah the Most Merciful forgive all our mistakes, accept all our good deeds, answer all our prayers and reunite us with our Muslim loved ones in Jannatul Firdaus near Him and His noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu alaihi wa sallam. Ameen.

SONNET: Allah Is My Witness I'm My Husband's Loyal Wife

In The Name Of Allah
The Most Gracious The Most Merciful


O' Allah Almighty be my Witness -
That I try to be my husband's true wife -
Through my du'as, loyalty and kindness,
And in being his mentor, light and guide.

Be my Witness, O' Allah Almighty,
That I strive to be his dutiful wife -
In helping him wake up to pray early.
And in frequently enjoining what's right.

You are my Witness, Allah All-Knowing,
If I lack in some field, I have allowed -
To have up to four wives - I have let him,
His smiles are my joys, his tears let me down.

Dear Allah, none can ever replace him -
But Your Gift that awaits me in Heaven.

Include all Muslims worldwide in your good du'as :)
