💌 Three signs of sad people even if they draw fake smiles,
Smirk at their ignorance and enjoy lavish lifestyles,
Upload trending videos, gain cash through fans who subscribe,
And who act as though Allah can't hear their silly lies:
~•~
One: They constantly compare their life to others' lives,
Behaving like insecure spies who pry day and night,
Watching vlogs and stalking timelines of those they despise,
Gaining nothing besides jealous feelings from inside.
~•~
Happy souls with Allah's Destiny are satisfied.
To spy on how others live, counting faults they can find,
And to magnify strangers' mistakes they have no time.
They focus on pleasing Allah, at peace all the while.
~•~
Two: Sad people guilty of envy and inner strife
Strive to spread their sorrow to others when they backbite,
Gossip, invent rumors, behave rudely, criticize
And emphasize they're toxic souls who can't stand good vibes.
~•~
Genuinely happy souls try their best to be kind,
Provide help when they can, answer greetings with a smile,
Defend the weak, stick up for those who forgot their rights,
And gladly mind their business when doing so is wise.
~•~
Three: They don't serve Allah due to their sadness and pride.
Instead of praying, on drugs and music they rely.
Distance from Allah and submitting to vile desires
Are from the whys they feel bad and empty from inside.
~•~
Despite not being rich, famous or by many liked,
Happy souls whom Allah loves and guided to His Light
Are full of delight talking to Allah day and night,
Patiently awaiting actual joy in Paradise.
~•~
Alhamdulillah always.
📖 Suhayb RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Amazing is the affair of the believer, as there is good for him in every matter. This is not the case for anyone but for the believer. If he goes through ease (or happy moments), he thanks Allah and it is good for him. If he goes through difficulty, he shows patience and it is good for him."

📖 Anas Ibn Malik RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The most privileged people in the world among the people of the Hellfire will come on the Day of Resurrection to be dipped in the Hellfire, then it will be said: 'O son of Adam, did you see any good? Did you get any blessing?' He will say: 'No, by Allah, my Lord!' Then the most miserable people in the world among the people of Paradise will come on the Day of Resurrection to be dipped in Paradise, then it will be said: 'O son of Adam, did you see any hardship? Did you have any distress?' He will say: 'No, by Allah, my Lord! I did not once see hardship or distress.'"
