Stay away from all guys
Since they are master of disguise?
A poem of good advice
But please don’t generalize

There are still normal good guys
Not looking to jeopardize
But protecting likewise
The dignity of sister for a place in paradise

It is only nature and thus difficult to subtract
That the opposite attracts*
But just don’t get distract
As the Devil will attack

Now, when dealing with boy
There is a matter of choice
If you want to rejoice
Just listen to your inner voice

The characteristics of boys Susie A described
A Muslim boy will definitely not subscribe
He will not stare when a sister walked past
As lowering his gaze is a must**

Now, the warning is glaring
Stay away from guys – don’t be daring
The same advice to the guy too
Stay away from girls if you know they have a trick or two

In Islam, we are not in a fixed cauldron
Thus not promoting the opposing sexes syndrome
We should work together with the same rhythm
For the future of Islam should not be in doldrums

Now if you happened to be the guy who fits the bill
As Susie A warned, a daunting task uphill
To mend your ways and fulfill
That is to be a Muslim guy of strong will

Don’t belittle your dignity
Respect the sisters with equality
Remember our mothers are the same species
So be a guy of great integrity

And girl, stay away from SOME guys who disrespect your femininity
And remember NOT ALL guys are after your beauty
As their goals is jannah come eternity
This is the Islamic bounty

** Al-Quran 24:30 “Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (reduce [some] of their vision) and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what they do.”
