Poem: Please Only Allah.


💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Your goal in life is to please God Allah, not people.
So when you're kind and generous to the ungrateful,
Who claim your kindness is fake or you're artificial,
Smile - be grateful you're not like them. You're not untruthful.
You're not like them in being insecure and hateful.
~*~
Don't let their bitterness stop you from being friendly.
Bullies typically put down those whom they envy.
What haters think of you is not your reality,
Especially when all you do is treat them kindly.
Your critics don't need your comebacks but your sympathy.
~*~
It takes tons of energy wasted to criticize,
To hate on others and compare one's state to their lives.
Harboring needless grudge is what causes sleepless nights,
Proving envy through rudeness leaves them unsatisfied,
And only harms your opponents who believe their lies.
~*~
Thus feel sorry for those who treat you with resentment.
Return their unkind remarks with silence or distance,
Or earn rewards by staying patient with contentment.
Your worth is never based on people's thoughts and statements.
When accused of riyaa, raise your levels of patience.
~*~
Welcome their good deeds while they take your sins every time
They cowardly talk about you badly from behind.
Whatever strangers say about you with truths or lies
Cannot truly describe who you are from deep inside.
Therefore bravely walk away from their crimes and bad vibes.
~*~
If avoiding toxic people is impossible,
Since they're colleagues or relatives who dislike your role,
Who loathe you every time they see you more successful,
Or who feel awful whenever they find you joyful,
Have the courage to stay steadfast and be respectful.
~*~
Show respect even to those who assume you're not real,
Because Allah showed you strategies on how to deal
With difficult souls who disrespect how others feel.
Keep doing good for Allah, though some think you're unreal,
Until Judgment Day comes when all truths shall be revealed.
~*~
📖 Ibn Umar RadhiAllahu 'anhuma narrated: The noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The believer who mixes with the people and endures their harm with patience has a greater reward than one who does not mingle with the people nor endures their harm with patience."
