💌 Since most souls care more about themselves and interests,
And almost every person we meet can be selfish,
Don't be surprised when you learn someone can't be trusted,
When somebody from your fam or friends disappointed
You as they weren't strong enough to be unselfish.

Your mindset when another human makes a promise:
"While I'm aware that Allah sees their hearts, I admit
They have the tendency to feel jealous or forget.
Though I can't predict the future, I hope for what's best,
And if they disappoint, I choose to not stay upset.
~•~
In fact I'd think it's funny if my guess was correct,
That people can't always fulfill all their promises,
As their supplies are limited, while some get tempted
To cancel a plan, forgo certain tasks, or distress
You when there's crisis or some of their needs aren't met."
~•~
Visualize the untrustworthy with spying gadgets,
Commanded by pranksters to test your Sabr's limit,
Like you're in a show and the actors' goals are obvious.
Avoid reacting in a way they'd wish and expect.
Look unsurprised, unfazed, or unaffected instead.
~•~
Those who messed with your feelings or lied to you dismiss.
Next time never tell them about your thoughts or secrets.
View chronic liars as strangers who can't be trusted.
Contentedly trust Only Allah Who created
All souls including troublemakers you meet as tests.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: 'If only I had done something else.' Rather say: "Allah has decreed what He wills." Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of shaytan."
