💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Calling an INTJ/INFJ "lonely"
Is as absurd as nicknaming a cat "chimpanzee",
As irrational as singing to an apple tree,
Confessing your "love" when it can't even get married,
And as cringey as labelling your toes "sweet candies".
~•~
We're not "lonely", not "desperate for fake company",
Not "eager to listen to gossip and people-please",
And not "so naive that we become instant besties
With any human, monkey and actor that we meet.".
We're true introverts who choose our close friends carefully.
~•~
Those guilty of these receive bye and adios from me:
Talking badly behind people's backs so cowardly,
Making lame jokes that are more offensive than funny,
Telling lies more than Pinocchio can lie purposely,
And having nothing worthwhile to share, offer, and teach.
~•~
I'd rather be "lonely" yet still earn Allah's Mercy
Than displease Allah by disrupting my piety
Through socializing with clowns who backbite constantly,
Who act as if they care when they carry jealousy,
And who prove that books are better than clear fakery.
~•~
Alhamdulillah. I have Allah, my family,
My spouse and his kids, and Angels who record our deeds,
And reading the Qur'an often brings serenity.
Introverted Muslims cherish solitude, so please
Don't assume we're "alone" when Allah sees you and me.
