💌 Three toxic thoughts of insecure people to dismiss,
Whose insecurities can spoil potential friendships:
"I'm not good enough", "Let me prove to them I'm perfect",
And "They're arrogant" when one suspects people's motives.
~•~
The insecure have a bad habit of comparing
Constantly their lives to others' examinations,
Stalking the posts of those they envy with resentment
Not to be inspired nor support but spot malfunctions.
~•~
Their negative mindset inspires them to speculate,
"How come they're happy? Why won't I have what they display?
It's unfair they're successful while I'm not." Then complain
Inwardly about the wisdom in what Allah gave.
~•~
Insecure people who feel small try to make it clear
They're bigger or invincible by instilling fear,
Being rude, alienating those who try to come near,
Or doing what they can to flaunt their life is ideal.
~•~
They tend to get jealous when they meet or encounter
Someone who's confident or whose manners surpass theirs.
If you exude good vibes, to them you're a "self-lover",
"Narcissist" or "prideful soul" who should be quieter.
~•~
Those secure with themselves don't get threatened nor falter
When they witness others being winners and leaders.
Free from insecure envy, they'll cheer for achievers,
Specially since Muslims are mirrors to each other.
~•~
To not be labeled as "insecure", avoid these three:
Envying others and rejecting Allah's Decree,
Letting pride stop you from learning from anybody,
And misjudging people when their hearts you haven't seen.

📖 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."

📖 Isma’il Abn Nujayd reported: Abu Al-Khayr, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “Hearts are containers. A heart filled with faith has signs of compassion for all Muslims, concern for their concerns, and is cooperative in their welfare. A heart filled with hypocrisy has signs of malice, rancor, dishonesty, and envy.”
