💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Some people don't talk to strangers. I don't talk to snakes,
Two-faced gossipmongers who play emotional games,
Who mess around with your goals, get your energy drained,
Who gossip about others and who threaten your faith.
~•~
With these toxic species, we only deteriorate
And gain no value from their presence nor what they say.
Lies and passive-aggressive slurs are nonsense they state.
If they backbite, they likely diss us when we're away.
~•~
We're better off without foes dressed as "friends" who are fake,
Who use us for their selfish gains, lie, manipulate,
Scrutinize our lives to count flaws and mock our mistakes,
And when we thrive or evolve they got nothing to say.
~•~
So long as we have Allah guiding us night and day,
While solitude is sweet chance to reflect, read and pray,
And avoiding toxic people keeps our Imaan safe,
We can never feel incomplete, lonely and dismayed.
~•~
Spending time with Allah is worthier than with fakes
Who are glued to dunya or who are glad they're astray.
Through contentment with Allah's Love, inner peace is gained.
Our good deeds, not people's praise, are what will surely stay.

📖 Anas ibn Malik RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Three things follow a deceased person. Two of them return and one remains. His family, his wealth, and his deeds follow him (to the grave). His family and wealth return, but his deeds remain."
