Poem: Your Trust In Allah And Your Disinterest In His Servants' Approval Signify Genuine Confidence

πŸ’ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
πŸ’Œ The truly confident who trust in Allah the most 
Don't pursue people's applause. They focus on their goals, 
Strive to serve Allah, unfazed by His servants' insults, 
While their grudge or indifference can't make them feel hurt, 
Since they aim to please Allah, not attain fame on earth.
~•~
Confident souls remain unaffected and unhurt 
If their calls or messages are purposely ignored, 
If they weren't tagged in a comment or online post, 
And if friend requests they've sent receive "no thanks" and "nope". 
Love them or hate them, true confidence doesn't erode.
~•~
With insight and guidance from Allah, they gladly know 
That actual love or lasting friendship cannot be forced, 
If it wasn't decreed by Allah 'fore one was born. 
Just as you can't enforce some to enjoy eating corn, 
You can't make some like you if your vibes bring discomfort.
~•~
And it's not your fault, if with some you can't get along. 
Perhaps your faith in Allah makes you come off too strong 
To those who guess they're not good enough to tag along, 
Who shun you first so they won't be the rejected ones, 
Or whose jealousy compels them to leave you alone.
~•~
People's likes, compliments and frequent shares of your posts 
Don't measure how much Allah loves you - no, not at all. 
How Prophet Nuh/Noah ('alaihis salaam) had few followers recall, 
Yet he was loved by Allah, blessed with a special role.
Care more about Allah's Love than His slaves' approval.
