💌 Tips to deal with failed friendships, how to forget ex-friends,
And some ways to welcome rejection with contentment:
One - Accept the truth that Allah controls everything.
Who loves then leaves you is part of what Allah destined.
~•~
Two - Regard someone's disappearance or avoidance
As a warning that dunya's joys are not permanent.
Some bonds that build up quickly gradually get boring -
Reminding us that earth's bliss are not everlasting.
~•~
Three - Recall that ex-friend's insults, faults and maltreatment.
Rewind incidents in which they denounced your presence,
Rolled their eyes when you spoke, gossiped when you were absent,
Or their silence when you expressed joy with your blessings.
~•~
Four - Respect yourself enough to grant your detachment
From those whose actions mostly bring stress and dejection.
Freeing yourself from bad comrades is more rewarding
Than tolerating toxic friends who are disturbing.
~•~
Five - You have Allah and Allah's Love is sufficient.
The Qur'an, and your good deeds can be your companions,
Along with Allah's Angels, and books you read often -
With guidance from Allah, you can move on with patience.

📖 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."
