Poem: It's Okay To Not Be Liked By Everyone On Earth

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Prophet Yusuf ('alaihis salaam) was once sold at a very small price, 
Although his value to Allah was special and high. 
The Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) when in Taif he arrived 
Didn't receive a welcome which was friendly and nice, 
While he has the best manners and by Allah he's liked. 
~•~ 
Diamonds in a forest may not be recognized 
And valued by bears that prefer honey and beehives. 
A golden pen and mirror in a junkyard at night 
Stay ignored by flies although their substance is still fine, 
While those same bugs are attracted to trash and bright light. 
~•~ 
Not all humans on earth share the same likes and dislikes. 
Your confident vibes may inspire strong types to admire, 
While those who feel insecure may get provoked with fright. 
Though some appreciate it when you joke, laugh and smile, 
Others respect you if you're quiet most of the time. 
~•~ 
Recall how many times you had to ignore online 
Text, photos and video clips designed to advertise 
Products which make you ponder or wonder from inside, 
"I can't afford that.", "I can't relate.", "Nope. Not my style.", 
"I don't get their language." or "Could be a bunch of lies." 
~•~ 
Remind yourself that even if by some you're disliked, 
What matters more is you have Allah's Love day and night. 
If you're with the guided few who strive for Paradise, 
Don't be surprised if those who desire this worldly life 
Clash with you and your true worth they fail to recognize.
~•~ 
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The souls are conscripted soldiers. They come together upon what they recognize, and they differ upon what they reject."
