Poem: How To React When Some Users Unfriend You

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

💌 What should your reaction be when someone "unfriends" you, 

When they blocked your account or become one you once knew? 

Avoid self-doubt. Don't wonder "Oh no, what did I do?

Was it something I shared? Are they gone in real life too?"

~•~

Maybe their act of "unfriending" was an accident, 

Done by someone else using their phone when it was lent,

Or they left when most of your posts make them feel threatened, 

They're jealous, disturbed, or unpleasantly different.

~•~

No worries. It's not a tragedy if you're eschewed 

By users who think you're "toxic" or your thoughts confuse.

Empathize. Try to visualize being in their shoes, 

You'd hate seeing others thrive if you were insecure.

~•~

Reduction in the number of "fans" or "online friends" 

Isn't solid evidence you're an awful person.

Often you grow stronger with someone's disappearance, 

Far from their lies, bad vibes and negative influence.

~•~

By people's opposition your worth isn't reduced.

When some flee or search for shade, the sun's rays continue.

Whether "too much" or "not good enough", let them assume.

For Allah Only, not His slaves, is your servitude.

~•~

📖 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."
