The truly pious sisters never do anything to ever jeopardize their haya
The truly pious sisters have a deep attachment to salah
They have noor dripping from their faces
They are never to be found in all the wrong places
The truly pious sisters are always glowing
They are not the ones that have all their limbs showing
Rather they are those that wear abayas loose and flowing
And when they are tested by Allah they increase their ibadah and keep going
They are mindful of their speech and never engage in idle talk
And they are not amongst those that wish to be noticed when they walk
They are those that have 'ilm and are constantly seeking
They have the best adab, ahklaq and manner of speaking
Just like the truly pious sisters there are only a few truly pious brothers
And the truly pious brothers take care of their sisters and mothers
The truly pious brothers have exemplary ahklaq
Pants rolled above the ankle and carrying a miswak
The truly pious brother is cautious about violating others rights
And you can hear his attachment to the Quran with every Surah he recites
His forehead has the mark that only one can get from praying tahajjud every night
Noor eminates from him, and every strand of his beard twinkles like a light
And if the time comes to fight, then he will not take flight
He will enter the battlefield strong just like a knight
The truly pious brother makes dua to Allah for his enemies to be guided
And doesn’t incite hatred towards other Muslims, lest we become more divided
The truly pious brother’s eyes are always looking toward the ground
Lowering the gaze because non-mahram women are around
Lowering the gaze because non-mahram women are around
He never insults or curses anyone, and never wastes time
He’s always just with others and keeps his nafs in line
The truly pious brother is always trying to learn more in the deen
Traveling for the sake of 'ilm is a regular routine
The truly pious brother is always making istighfaar for the sins that he may or may not have done.
And he is not the lazy, depressed or pessimistic one
The truly pious brother loves for his brother what he loves for himself
He is never satisfied with his condition, so he is always improving himself
And you will find that the truly pious sisters have sabr and complete tawakkul in Allah
And the truly pious brother has devoted himself to seeking the pleasure of Allah
And you will find that those that are truly pious are like the scent of perfume in the air
To the average Muslim, they just don’t compare
They are like precious jewels that are extremely rare
Remaining in their pure form because they are unfit to wear
So if you want to marry from amongst those that are truly pious, then be worthy and not obsceneAnd don’t waste your time looking for them in places that they would never dare to be seen
You would never go to a swamp to discover a pearl
Unless instead of a pious woman you want a cover girl
And if you think that you can go to a garbage dump in search of diamonds
Then that is because you’re looking for Cubic Zirconia, and not those that are truly pious

assalamu alaikum..
mashallah beautiful poem sister..really makes u open ur eyes..
jazakallah
walaikum salaam
i agree, beautiful indeed!!!
sis can i request a topic to be written about respecting your parents. it's a sad fact today dat muslim youth hav lost respect for their parents and a reminder will do good for all of us, esp since we're entering the month of ramadan. jazakillahu khairan xx
salaam sis
it was a beautiful poem and i fink poetry is also a very good way to spread knowledge. i agree with the request for articles about treatment of parents. even supposedly practising brothers and sisters who dont hav practising parents, seem lyk they disrespect their parents.
also i wud like to say that i love the articles a lot and visit this site many times but due to the little time i hv on my hands, i always skip the long articles so i suggest that some posts shud be kept a bit shorter , because im sure the long ones r very beneficial as well.
May Allah reward you all for the effort you put in to spread the truth. jzk

MashaAllah this poem is truly amazing
JazakAllah Khair sis
Assalamu Alaykum,
BarakAllahu Feekum. Actually this poem is written by another sister so all credit and thanks goes to her. May Allah reward her abundantly.
Sorry about the lengthy posts and I know I promised before that I would make my posts short but I've found out that this was a bit hard. I'm used to writing long essays and stuff and so when I try to write up posts it ends up turning into one of my essays, lol. Try to make some time to read the lengthy posts as well as they are all beneficial and I pray we all benefit from these articles.
With regards to the post about respecting our parents, I always wanted to write one up but never had time. I agree it's a major issue that needs to be tackled so inshaAllah another sister has already started to write up a post to your request. May Allah accept it from her and all of us. Keep remembering us in your duas inshaAllah.
Wassalam
