๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐ People's likability doesn't measure their worth.
If someone is popular or famous in this world,
It doesn't always mean they're loved by Allah our Lord.
From among those whom Allah loves are those not well-known.
~*~
From the signs that Allah loves us is granting knowledge,
That we study Islam, maintain patience with courage,
Remain grateful to Allah, at peace and contented,
Content with Allah's Love, not fearing people's hatred.
~*~
All of Allah's Prophets weren't liked by some people,
Belied by unbelievers who rejected their calls.
Those with conflicting goals end up incompatible.
If you're an honest soul, you repel the untruthful.
~*~
Allah loving you and on earth granting acceptance
Doesn't mean you'll be valued and liked by everyone.
When Allah loves you for trying your best to serve Him,
Allah strengthens your patience through troublesome persons.
~*~
Live your life to please Only Allah, not His servants.
Those that follow us in our graves are our good actions,
Not our close friends, loved ones nor people's admiration.
So strive for Allah and in His Love find contentment.

๐ Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "When Allah loves a servant, He calls Angel Jibreel and He says: 'Verily, I love this person so you should love him.' Then Angel Jibreel loves him and makes an announcement in the heavens, saying: 'Allah loves this person and you should love him.' Thus, the dwellers of the heavens love him and he is honored on the earth.”
In another narration, the Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “When Allah is angry with a servant, He calls Angel Jibreel and He says: 'I resent this person, so you should resent him.' Then Angel Jibreel resents him and makes an announcement in the heavens, saying: 'Verily, Allah resents this person, so you should resent him.' Thus, they become resentful with him and he is hated on the earth.”"
