Poem: Don't Get Too Attached To People


💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Because I was put on earth by Allah to serve Him,
And since pleasing Only Allah is my main mission,
I'm not afraid of His servants' grudge and rejection,
Not craving for their praise nor fearing their detachment.
~*~
My soul gravitates to those who want Jannah/Heaven,
Muslims who strive to pass Allah's examinations,
In learning more about our Deen Islam they're constant,
And in spite of difficulties, they practice patience.
~*~
My heart feels at peace around those with good intention,
Believers who cannot envy others' achievements.
Sharing positive vibes and inspiring confidence,
They're against lying, spreading rumors and backbiting.
~*~
These beautiful souls whom Allah blessed with His Guidance
Form a minority in worldly generations.
So don't be surprised if some of us find contentment
In purposeful silence or frequent isolation.
~*~
Though an ambivert leaning towards extroversion,
Who likes to socialize and join in group discussions,
I can adjust myself to enjoy quiet moments
When the ambiance is tarnished by lies and gossiping.
~*~
Please don't assume that my 'unfriending' and avoidance
Are signs you're not worthy of love or I'm "arrogant".
We all have a right to choose our trusted companions
Who share the same goals and who aren't too different.
~*~
Even with strangers and those who are 'just acquaintance',
I'd try my best to maintain noble manners with them,
Reminding myself "While people come and go often,
Real friends stay. Friendships get broken if they're not destined."

~*~

Al-Nawawi said,
"When bodies meet in the world, they come together or differ according to how they were created. The righteous will incline to the righteous, and the evil will incline to the evil."
