Poem: Stay Away From Suspicion.

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Reminder to myself and others to not suspect,
To not doubt other Muslims' intentions and motives
Without valid proofs to defend your doubts and verdicts.
People's realities are not based on what you guess.
~*~ 
You can't claim that a woman is "plastic" or "selfish" 
For that one time she failed to do what you did expect.
Haven't you thought, she has a tendency to forget,
Maybe she was busy, or she went through some tough tests?
~*~ 
Don't assume that a friend is a "fake" when she neglects 
You often and doesn't instantly answer your texts.
Her inbox may have been full your text wasn't noticed
Or she meant to answer but then got disconnected.
~*~ 
Viewing someone as "arrogant" or a "narcissist"
Is unfair if only a few times you both have met.
Who they are differs from how they behave in public.
You have no right to judge them if you're not real friends yet.
~*~
A person's worth can't be measured by what has been said
About them by strangers, hateful colleagues and critics.
Get to know that person well before acting savage
With accusations and complaints which are incorrect.
~*~ 
Those who roll their eyes assuming we're "inauthentic",
"Insincere", "self-centered", or "self-obsessed hypocrites",
Should fear Allah and do Tawbah from their injustice.
Why the bad thoughts? Our heart - did they fully inspect it?
~*~ 
We can't control people's words nor force them to accept 
The fact that Only Allah knows the truth about us.
Don't quit trusting Allah. Have the courage to forgive 
Those who obey their nafs in causing jealous hatred.
~*~ 
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the most false of tales. Do not seek out faults, do not spy on each other, do not contend with each other, do not envy each other, do not hate each other, and do not turn away from each other. Rather, be servants of Allah as brothers."

📖 Al-Bayhaqi reported: Hamdun Al-Qassar, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “If one of your brothers commits an error, seek seventy excuses for him. If your hearts do not accept it, know that the fault is with yourselves.”

📖 Al-Bayhaqi reported: Ja’far Ibn Muhammad, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “If you hear something from your brother that you reject, make an excuse for him up to seventy excuses. If you cannot do it, then say: 'Perhaps he has an excuse I do not know.'”
