Poem: Avoid Having Bad Thoughts Of Others


💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 While it's true Allah is the Only One we can trust,
We must train ourselves to avoid suspecting others,
Assuming this user and those are just showing off,
Since Allah is the Only One Who can see our hearts.
~*~
Without being naive, careless or too distracted,
When disappointed by some, give them some excuses.
Remind yourself: They're human too. No soul is perfect.
Not all can be clarified by judging the surface.
~*~
Strike a balance between being careful and clement,
Between being cautious regarding your choice of friends
And being wise enough to evade false assumptions,
Knowing that Only Allah knows His slaves' intentions.
~*~
It's not your job to analyze people's condition,
Just as it isn't right for them to have suspicions,
Accusing you of doing things that are forbidden,
Without valid reason or tangible evidence.
~*~
If you got nothing good to say, withhold your statements.
Keep your opinions to yourself, if you're not helping.
Focus on serving Allah, don't judge His creation,
And wait for truth to disclose on the Day of Judgment.
~*~
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the most false of tales. Do not seek out faults, do not spy on each other, do not contend with each other, do not envy each other, do not hate each other, and do not turn away from each other. Rather, be servants of Allah as brothers."
