💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Five things to do when you sense or realize some people dislike you:
1] Remember our main purpose in life is to serve and worship Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, not His servants. So long as we're loved by Allah the Most Merciful, we can survive confidently and patiently despite being hated by a number of individuals.
2] Instead of questioning your self-worth and wondering what is it about you that makes you unlikable, put yourself in those haters' shoes and imagine you're in their situation. Either your positive qualities make them feel insecure so they try to bring you down to pacify their wounded emotions, or your accomplishments and blessings that Allah the Most Wise chose to give are what cause them to get jealously threatened. Feel sorry for their insecurities and move on with rewarding patience.
3] Be honest. Is there anything about them that you genuinely admire or does their presence helpfully increase the levels of your faith/Imaan? If yes, then don't bother hating them back, especially if shaytan is your common enemy. If no, there's nothing pleasant about them or they can't add any value to your life, then don't be awfully affected by their negative energy.
Prioritize sincerely striving to gain Allah's Love and don't be afraid of people's enmity.
4] Count the numerous blessings that Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala granted you and continue expressing gratitude for them. Example: You can read and understand a lot of Arabic words, you're guided to discover and implement authentic Islamic knowledge, and you are married to a hardworking spouse who lovingly understands you.
5] Forget about those whose personalities, goals and interests conflict with yours. Unfollow, unfriend and don't bother dealing with people who constantly doubt your niyyah or who invent unfair delusions and erroneous assumptions about you only to ease the burden of their undeniable jealousy.
Gladly divert your attention to strengthening your connection with Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala and enhancing your bond with those whom He loves from among the pious with pure hearts, those striving believers who are free from evil traits like envy, suspicion and dissatisfaction with Allah's Qadr/Decree.
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu ‘anhu narrated: Allah’s noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: 'If only I had done something else.’ Rather say: "Allah has decreed what He wills.” Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of shaytan."
