💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 The similitude of those who judge you instantly
Without knowing you well and the whys behind your deeds
Is that of strangers who assume a man is guilty
Of abusing his wife when he smacks her arm lightly,
Aiming at a mosquito to ensure her safety.
~•~
Critics who describe you with words that do not really
Suit you attempt to insult based on what they perceive,
Like salespersons who clumsily tag products wrongly
As they were distracted or they can't properly read.
People's views on you don't define your reality.
~•~
If you raise your voice at those who can't hear easily,
While your intent is to help them out with sympathy,
Some bystanders may label you as a rude bully,
Viewing you negatively according to few scenes.
No soul can assess you if they don't know you fully.
~•~
As "fishy", "too much", "not good enough" you may be seen
By fellow humans who discovered you recently.
Note each time you're misjudged by some people unfairly
Or you're accused of doing things you wouldn't come near,
Humans err sometimes. Misjudgment mustn't arouse fear.
~•~
How people choose to see you in actuality
Reflects how they feel about themselves and self-esteem.
If some insist on judging you at least partially,
Let them observe what you do and say consistently,
While aware our motives are known to Allah Only.

📖 Ibn Mas'ud RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: The Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam was distributing charity when a man from the Ansaar said, “By Allah, Muhammad did not intend to please Allah with this!” I came to the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam and told him about it, then anger could be seen on his face. The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Moses (Prophet Musa 'alaihis salaam) was hurt by more than this, yet he remained patient."
In another narration, the Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Who will be just if not Allah and His Messenger?"
