💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Ever wondered why, though you love Allah Almighty,
You're often mistreated by those guilty of envy,
Accused of being insincere, encounter deceit,
And trying to connect with some souls isn't easy?
~•~
Maybe the light in your heart enriched with piety
Is too bright for those whose hearts are dark, with disbelief,
Who deal with self-hate and insecurities daily.
Their need to dim your brightness pushes them to mistreat.
~•~
Your energy to seek Allah scares them severely,
Your detachment from dunya disturbs their worldly greed,
And your pure heart petrifies their toxic qualities
From jealousy and spite to ignorance of our Deen.
~•~
It's no surprise that if you strive to keep your heart clean,
Free from impatience, pride, and doubt of Allah's Decree,
You'll be tried once in a while with people's enmity,
Which brings you near Allah. Thus you trust Allah Only.
~•~
One of your shields from heartbreaks is to remain sincere
And true to Allah, our God Whom we most want to meet.
Detach from foul desires and traps that spoil your journey.
With a heart that serves Allah, you won't be incomplete.
