Poem: Distance Yourself From Jealous People.

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 From the groups of souls whom we avoid for Allah's sake,
To preserve our well-being and shield our Imaan/faith,
Are spiteful types whose envy is shown in subtle ways -
Seeing our joys and smiles is what inspires their sour face.
~*~ 
Their jealousy is what pushes them to act unkind,
To behave in an unfriendly way, and to backbite,
To undervalue your statements as they roll their eyes,
Undermine your good traits while your flaws are magnified.
~*~
They're the type of insecure folks who love to slam doors,
Who expect you to like them yet they got you abhorred,
Memories of your mistakes they remarkably hoard,
While your positive qualities they proudly ignore.
~*~
Your kindness is inspiration to their eye-rolling.
Each time you're friendly, they assume you're just pretending,
Being "insincere", or desperate for attention.
Their rudeness is evidence they're jealously threatened.
~*~
It seems they can't accept Allah's Qadr/Destiny,
It's as if they think there's something wrong with His Decree,
Complaining "How is so-and-so blessed?" and "Why not me?"
Their dissatisfaction is what triggers their envy.
~*~
Jealousy is what causes potential friends to hate,
Relatives to not support, best pals to separate,
Siblings to compete, polygynous marriage to fail,
Strangers to misjudge you without hearing what you'll say.
~*~
To deal with these envious people: Maintain patience.
Put some distance so your blessings do not disturb them.
Pity their inner struggles. Continue contentment.
Thank Allah you're not the jealous oppressive person.
~*~

📖 Anas Ibn Malik RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Envy consumes good deeds just as fire burns wood. Charity (Sadaqah) extinguishes sinful deeds just as water extinguishes fire. Prayer is the light of the believer and fasting is his shield from the Hellfire."

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Whoever wrongs his brother in his honor or anything else should resolve the matter today before it cannot be resolved with gold and silver coins. If he has good deeds to his credit, they will be taken from him according to the measure of his injustice. If he has no good deeds left, he will bear the evil deeds of the one he has oppressed."
