💌 The number of followers doesn't measure one's worth,
And the likes or comments you get on your online posts
Don't determine your value nor the weight of your words.
How special and worthy you are Only Allah knows.
To be loved by Allah, you don't need to be well-known.

When told, "your fans are few!" or "I have friends, and you don't.",
Confidently respond, "With Allah, I'm not alone."
And let them know, the number of those who stalk, follow,
And endorse a person doesn't necessarily show
They're on the right track or their hearts are purer than gold.

Note: Dumpsters, trash bins and uninhabitable homes
Are magnets, like swamps, to swarms of flies and mosquitoes.
So just because someone has tons of subscribers, votes,
And followers, it doesn't prove what they say and post
Are authentic and deserving of being followed.

Prophet Nuh ('alaihis salaam) who for more than hundred years lived and called
People to believe in Allah, the Only True Lord,
Had few supporters, and his son was one of his foes.
So is it right to claim that he wasn't a good soul
Since he wasn't famous among humans? Not at all.

About having friends or fan clubs it's uncool to boast
If one is unloved by Allah the Judge of both worlds.
Achieving fame isn't proof that to Allah you're close,
Cursed shaytan has many devotees around the globe
And of all creatures on earth the devil is the worst.

It's a trial for some Muslims to sometimes feel lone,
When amongst misguided souls they don't feel so at home.
No matter how kind they try to be, they get ignored
Often by those who envy their clean heart, given role,
And gifts. If you're truthful, expect liars to oppose.
~•~
As long as you support the Sunnah, and your main goal
Is to see Allah in Jannah, don't allow sorrow
From people's disapproval to deter your self-growth.
Share knowledge for Allah and invite to Allah's Call,
To please Allah, not gain minions nor people's applause.

Reminder to recite Surah Al-Kahf every Jumuah Friday and include the Muslim Ummah in your Du'as 🌻
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "When Allah loves a servant, He calls Angel Jibreel and He says: 'Verily, I love this person so you should love him.' Then Angel Jibreel loves him and makes an announcement in the heavens, saying: 'Allah loves this person and you should love him.' Thus, the dwellers of the heavens love him and he is honored on the earth.”
In another narration, the Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "When Allah is angry with a servant, He calls Angel Jibreel and He says: 'I resent this person, so you should resent him.' Then Angel Jibreel resents him and makes an announcement in the heavens, saying: 'Verily, Allah resents this person, so you should resent him.' Thus, they become resentful with him and he is hated on the earth."
