💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Just because some wear branded clothes, pose well in photos,
Dine with style, decorate themselves with glitter or gold,
Adorn themselves with fab cosmetics they can afford,
And ensure their outfits are never unclean or torn,
Doesn't mean they all have pretty hearts and pleasant souls.

A person may have an ugly heart if they behave
Rudely and so disrespectfully to those whom they
Consider as "unfashionable" due to poor taste
In their fashion sense and decisions they choose to make
Regarding their weight and how they're outwardly displayed.
~•~
People who evaluate others based on their looks
Are likely to abandon you if you don't look good.
They typically gossip, criticize and ridicule
Anyone who, to them, is not "trendy" or heaps "cool".
Their proud contempt for "cheap people" makes their hearts impure.
~•~
Other deeds which people with ugly hearts often do
Include scamming, inventing stories that are untrue,
Bullying, mocking others for trials they go through,
Refusing to help or give support when insecure,
And doubting Muslims' niyyah, always prone to assume.
~•~
Those with ugly hearts gravitate to shameful matters,
Such as TikTok dancers, materialistic vloggers,
Fellow scammers or cheaters, lies, gossipy chatter,
And they flee from Muslims who prefer the Hereafter,
And to hear Islamic talks they're mostly not bothered.
~•~
Those with ugly hearts can spend hours putting on makeup,
Recording and editing self-serving YouTube vlogs,
And analyzing the products whenever they shop,
Yet when it comes to learning from an Islamic talk,
Or reading Islamic writings, they're quick to give up.
~•~
Ugly hearts don't do enough to receive Allah's Love.
They're attached to dunya, can't recognize shaytan's plots,
And envying others' lives it's hard for them to stop.
To cleanse and beautify your heart, do what Allah loves,
Occupying it with Adhkaar, Du'as, and kind thoughts.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, when the servant commits a sin, a black mark (or dark spot) appears upon his heart. If he abandons the sin, seeks forgiveness, and repents, then his heart will be polished. If he returns to the sin, the blackness will be increased until it overcomes his heart. It is the covering that Allah has mentioned: 'No, rather a covering is over their hearts from what they have earned.' (The Noble Qur'an 83:14)"
