💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Allah loves the truthful, so stay honest for His sake.
From the traits of people who can be described as "fake"
Include: Hating you in secret, smiling to your face,
Acting nice if you're there, gossiping when you're away,
Lying and making promises which they plan to break.
~•~
Don't be two-faced. It's not appealing nor rewarding.
Rather than welcoming forced social interactions
Then following fruitless talks with sinful backbiting,
Be brief yet friendly, be well-mannered as a Muslim.
Although you clash with some souls, abstain from gossiping.
~•~
Those who truly love Allah strive to support the truth,
Ensure their words are factual, have fakery eschewed,
Apologize if they misinformed or misconstrued,
Side with the sincere and trustworthy whose faith is true -
Telling lies and spreading rumors are faults they don't do.
~•~
Strike a balance between love and hate for Allah's sake.
Despising some shouldn't lead to what Allah forbade
From engaging in gossip to wanting to betray.
Simply disconnect from those who goals are not the same.
Return wrongs with patience. Let your good heart be portrayed.
~•~
Practice what you preach. Make sure your words match your actions.
Recall Allah sees all, so purify intentions,
And refrain from the following: Falsehood, deception,
And partaking in futile gossipy discussions.
Truth and justice will prevail on the Day of Judgment.
