💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 As you move towards Allah, climb mountains to success,
Or as you forget your sinful past and do your best
To improve as a Muslim, expect foes and critics
To distract you with insults intended to upset.
~*~
When they notice you're hardworking, tough or talented,
Or they're threatened by your good manners or intellect,
Or they assume your kindness brings them unhappiness,
Don't be surprised if the jealous spread lies and gossip.
~*~
By 'adult bullies' anticipate being hated,
Being uninvited or made to feel excluded,
Because the light that glows through you makes them feel much less.
By their lack of self-confidence don't be affected.
~*~
Keep serving Allah even if you're not supported.
Rewards come from Allah, not from slaves He created.
When some fellow servants want you feeling rejected,
Recall you still have Allah Who keeps you uplifted.
~*~
Enemies should remind you to stay motivated,
In copying their mistakes you're uninterested.
Don't let your self-esteem diminish by their hatred.
Their envying you is an emphasis you are blessed.
~*~
Thus be grateful to Allah for His favors and gifts.
Blessings from Allah shouldn't make you narcissistic.
Share your tips and knowledge for Allah. Don't be selfish,
Even if some suspect you of being dishonest.
~*~
While they're busy trying to have your image damaged
Through gossiping or harassing to see you depressed,
Continue trusting Allah. Strive and be productive
Until all on Judgment Day witness Allah's Justice.
~*~
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Beware of envy, for it consumes good deeds just as fire devours wood or grass."
