๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐ Admit the fact that not all people were brought up well.
Just because you're kind doesn't guarantee that you will
Always be treated kindly by each individual.
There'll be some souls who doubt your kindness, ones ungrateful,
And those who, despite your favors, choose to hate you still.
~•~
From the secrets to inward happiness in this world
Is to do good just for Allah Who justly rewards
Your efforts to please Him, while people's praise isn't sought.
Thoughts like "Where's my thanks?", "Ingrates!", "They didn't thank enough,"
And "my altruism was wasted" aren't thought of.
~•~
Your gifts, treats, advice you shared, freebies, or meals you bought
For loved ones and friends are meant to attain Allah's Love.
You're generous not so people can admire, applaud
Or return your favors, but you seek Allah's Reward,
Aware that kindness makes you from those whom Allah loves.

Numbers who were taught by their mothers to talk and walk
Disrespect the mom like her tireless works they forgot.
There may have been news of sons who've had their fathers shot
And some students who caused their teachers to lose their jobs.
Don't be shocked if you're nice while some guess you're "showing off".
~•~
Strive to serve Allah. Realize that those with pure hearts
Recognize the light and good intentions in your heart.
Some Muslims' quietness try not to quickly misjudge.
You may think they're unthankful for your unselfish acts,
When they've gratefully mentioned you in loving Du'as.

๐ Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "A Muslim is the one who avoids harming the Muslims with his tongue and hands. And a Muhaajir (emigrant) is the one who gives up (abandons) all what Allah has forbidden."

๐ Abdullah Ibn Amr RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "We are now in this day. Blessed are the strangers." It was said, “O Messenger of Allah, who are the strangers?” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Righteous people among many evil people. Those who disobey them are more numerous than those who obey them."
Grade: Sahih (Authentic) according to Ahmed Shakir
๐ Ibn Umar RadhiAllahu 'anhuma narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The most beloved people to Allah are those who are most beneficial (useful, helpful) to the people. The most beloved deed to Allah is to make a Muslim happy (in halal/permissible ways), or to remove one of his troubles, or to forgive his debt, or to feed his hunger. That I walk with a brother regarding a need is more beloved to me than that I seclude myself in this Mosque in Madinah for a month. Whoever swallows his anger, then Allah will conceal his faults. Whoever suppresses his rage, even though he could fulfill his anger if he wished, then Allah will secure his heart on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever walks with his brother regarding a need until he secures it for him, then Allah the Almighty will make his footing firm across the bridge (the Siraat) on the day when the footings are shaken."
