Poem: Act Like You Trust People But Don't, As Allah Is The Only One Whom We Trust.

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

💌 Live life day and night as though you're always being watched, 

As if the people you meet are spies with rehearsed acts 

And beneath their outfits are spying gadgets attached, 

So when they play games just to see how you would react, 

You'd behave in a way that pleases Allah above.

~•~

Act as if you trust every person you encounter, 

Maintaining manners with loved ones, neighbors and strangers, 

Talk in a manner they think you like random chatter 

And they guess you're an "open book", but that's an error, 

They still don't know you well, as you've kept other matters.

~•~

Be friendly for Allah's sake with those whom you speak to, 

Yet don't trust them at all, while you yourself remain true. 

The words you utter and write very carefully choose. 

Treat others according to their nature, not your mood.

And always fear Allah Who always hears and sees you.

~•~

Why people generally can't always be trusted: 

Some try to connect for their selfish gains and motives. 

Most tend to get jealous, passive and unsupportive. 

All humans have mouths they can use for lies or gossip. 

In trusting only our God Allah stay contented.

They go out in the morning with empty stomachs and return full (satisfied)."
