Poem: We're Here To Serve Allah, Not Impress People

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

💌 Since Allah made us to worship Him, not His servants,
People's enmity or distance isn't a problem.
Drifting friendships and swift breakups are bound to happen
Often due to miscommunication, impatience,
Excessive conflict, or the closure was just destined.
~•~
It's not a tragedy to be left or abandoned
By those whose decisions don't align with your mission,
Who envy your achievements, suspect your intentions,
Or who choose 'quit' or 'average' instead of 'hardworking'.
Clinging to toxic friends is what's a predicament.
~•~
Be gratefully content you prefer to keep going,
Pursuing your main goal to serve Allah with patience,
Unaffected by critics and haters' rejection,
Because you live for Allah not for His creation.
Strangers' resentment inspire you to be resilient.
~•~
Let opponents exit chat groups or group discussions,
Accept that those who clash with you are too different,
Allow those who find you weird to keep their eyes rolling,
Their envy, pride and hateful thoughts spoil their well-being.
We can't force anyone to value faith and learning.
~•~
Don't fret if in your circle you witness reduction.
Sometimes some souls' departures give space for improvement,
Their fleeing is a protection from bad influence,
And they train us to trust Allah, not feeble humans.
Thrive with Allah's Love by Whom we're never forgotten.
~•~
