💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 It's strange how often we meet some souls for the first time,
And instantly we click, we're attracted to their vibes,
Comfortable around them, almost similar minds,
No jealousy, no reasons for them to be disliked.
~*~
In contrast, we encounter other souls we can't like,
Strangers whose conflicting values cause us to deride
Or feel uncomfortable when they are just nearby,
Afraid of approaching them, fearing they'll criticize.
~*~
Without a doubt, if we're truthful, we tend to hate lies;
If we're honest, we can't befriend those who love to lie.
If we detest gossip, we despise those who backbite.
If we're assured, we abhor those insecure inside.
~*~
If you're among the few, in the place where you reside,
Who are smart, who strive to be pious, who know what's right,
Who display many talents which attract jealous eyes,
And you feel like 'the black sheep', tell yourself "You'll be fine,
~*~
So long as you live life to please Allah the Most High,
And Jannatul Ferdaus is one prize you so desire,
It doesn't matter if by everyone you're not liked.
You're here to serve Allah, not make your worth recognized."
~*~
Note: Prophet Jesus' mother Maryam, in her lifetime,
Was hated by most, yet she's destined for Paradise.
Nuh 'alaihis salaam was made fun of and belied,
Yet he's one of Allah's Prophets and loyal allies.
~*~
While we do our best to be kind to all and survive,
We'll keep doing what Allah loves, not to be admired
By fellow servants with their own flaws, struggles and vice,
Until we reach Jannah, where all good souls reunite.
