💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Aspire to learn good manners and keep them even when
Some treat you badly or suspect you're just pretending.
Seem cheerful or at least respond to Muslims' greetings,
Although your smiles may inspire someone's dismal frowning.
~•~
No matter how loud cowards guilty of self-loathing
Slam doors, criticize you or resort to backbiting,
Rise above them in terms of morals and be patient.
Small puppies tend to bark at lions when they're threatened.
~•~
If most of your acquaintances favor gossiping,
Telling lies, fault-finding or sizing up your presence,
Don't bother getting even. Aim to be different.
Be Allah's loyal servant, striving, and resilient.
~•~
Those who unfriend you, start ghosting, or grant rejection
Mustn't cause you to be unfriendly to all humans.
Their chapter in your life story is done. Make new friends
And keep trusting Allah, not enslaved by His servants.
~•~
Don't let critics' ugliness cause your heart to darken.
Let your inner glow repulse them with faith and patience.
When jealous trolls want to dim your light through mistreatment,
Thank Allah we're not the ones collecting people's sins.
