💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Since not everyone has the same heart and goals as you,
And not all recognize your worth nor sense your virtues,
Don’t expect to be appreciated and valued
By those who oppose your morals or who lack values.
~•~
To some, your warmth may be returned with ingratitude,
Your smiles with scornful scowls, your kindness with being rude,
Your desire to connect with their need to find you mute,
And your offer to make peace with rejecting your truce.
~•~
These souls whom Allah destined to not network with you
Are there to strengthen patience and boost your gratitude.
Be patient with their choice to stay distant and aloof.
Be grateful for the real friends you have though they are few.
~•~
When foes underestimate what you can contribute,
Or proposals to be more than strangers are refused,
Whether their hate stems from envy or they’re insecure,
Move on confidently. Shun the spiteful things they do.
~•~
Troublemakers and critics who yearn to see you blue
Mustn’t lead to quitting the race nor negative moods.
Use hurt energy to trust Allah more, do Sujood,
And with Sabr say Du'a. Allah can avenge you.

📖 ‘Ali Ibn Abi Talib RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah’s noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “A Muslim has six rights over another Muslim in good conduct: To greet him with peace when he meets him, to respond to his invitation, to respond to his sneeze, to visit him when he is sick, to follow his funeral prayer when he dies, and to love for him what he loves for himself.”
