Poem: Careful With The Social Media Accounts You Follow

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

💌 Have enough self-respect to ignore negative posts,

Unfollow toxic users, detach from wicked souls 

Who put you down or gossip through what they say or post,

And whose bad vibes drain you, so they're better left alone.

~•~

Toxic social media accounts include childish rants,

Gossipy notes about those whom they misunderstand,

Lame complaints about those whom they're too scared to confront,

And your energy drops when you read their verbal stunts.

~•~

Avoid jokers and clowns who outshine at gossiping 

Offline and online to emphasize their self-loathing.

Learn and seek content that bring about good influence,

And follow those who inspire and share enlightenment.

~•~

Be careful too, ensure you don't mix with nor promote

Those who support bid'ah, who are careless with their words,

Who enforce extremism and acts bad for your soul,

And causing fitna or chaos is one of their goals.

~•~

Choose the right kind of info absorbed, and always pray 

That Allah the All-Knowing guides us to the Right Way,

To connecting with souls that are pure and strong in faith,

And to tell apart the striving from those led astray.

~•~

📖 Anas Ibn Malik RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said to me: "Young man, if you are able every morning and evening to remove any rancor (grudges, hatred or jealousy) from your heart towards anyone, do so."

Then, the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said to me:

"Young man, that is my Sunnah. Whoever revives my Sunnah has loved me, and whoever loves me will be with me in Paradise."

📖 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.“
