Note: Signs Of Toxic People To Avoid For Allah's Sake

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Some of the signs of a toxic person whom we should keep at a distance and treat them as a casual acquaintance:
1] They have a tendency to cowardly gossip about others and count people's flaws.
2] They think it's okay to make fun of people even at the expense of hurting their feelings.
3] Although they secretly envy you, their jealousy can be felt miles away because of how they treat you with obvious or subtle disrespect, rudeness and deliberate indifference.
4] They are too clingy, have unreasonably high expectations of you, and instantly get offended when you don't show enough affection towards them, unwilling to give you the space that you require at times.
5] They expect you to listen to their problems and grant them a shoulder to cry on, yet when you're the one who needs assistance, support or advice they're unavailable.
6] Interacting with them feels awkwardly forced so you can't be your true self around them, afraid they may judge you harshly, backbite about you to their other friends, or you sense there's some strange agenda behind their facade, specially since they seem to know a lot about you while you're hardly familiar with who they really are.
7] They directly or indirectly prevent you from wanting to become a better Muslim e.g. by declining your invitations to attend an Islamic lecture, by insisting on committing bid'ah, or by encouraging you to neglect your parents or abandon your spouse.
