π You're not missing out on much if you're uninvited
And excluded from gatherings where actors gossip,
Where insecure frenemies disclose others' secrets
And people's flaws or faults are from their usual topics.
Your absence from such groups keeps your good deeds protected.
~•~
You're not missing out on enjoying someone's friendship
If most of their online posts are passive-aggressive,
If they selectively tag users, being childish,
To make you doubt yourself or desire their fake kindness,
And overall the vibes they give off are too toxic.
~•~
You won't miss out, don't worry, if you got unfriended
By users who can't tolerate feeling so jealous
Each time you share some tips or helpful status updates,
Or they expect you to chase them once you're deleted.
Accept it's not Allah's Qadr you'd stay connected.
~•~
Despised by certain people? Rejected? Avoided?
Maybe it's your love for Allah which causes conflict,
Their attachment to dunya that makes you unwanted,
Your eagerness to thrive that brings their disinterest,
And by your strong faith/Imaan they're intimidated.
~•~
Talk to Allah more, and you won't notice loneliness.
Instances when you're solo are chances to read, rest,
Research, study, say Dhikr, introspect and reflect.
Listen to lectures often, recite Qur'an verses,
And know when Allah loves us, His slaves aren't needed.

π Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated that the Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The Mufarridun (the isolated or those who like to isolate themselves) have gone ahead (in gaining rewards)." He was asked, "Who are the Mufarridun?" He SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam replied, "Those men and women who remember Allah much."
