๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐ Even if some people smile or pretend to giggle,
Most of them are insecure, concealing their actual
Moods and inner state - likely envious, miserable,
Or empty and confused if they lack meaningful goals.
Three things which are never done by truly happy souls:
~•~
Sabotaging oneself through doing what's unlawful,
Such as mistreating others to feel less sorrowful,
Deceiving and telling lies to seem remarkable,
And spying on others' lives to search for joys to spoil.
Happy souls uplift you, not act like troublesome trolls.
~•~
Living life not to please Allah but to charm people,
Wanting fellow servants' compliments and approval,
Expecting people's support when one is unable
To cheer for everyone always, and not feeling whole
If some behave poorly are not done by happy souls.
~•~
Being controlled by pride, having a heart that's spiteful,
Constantly wishing that foes become unsuccessful
Instead of praying for them, losing track of one's goal,
And overall acting as a failure who's vengeful
Are from obnoxious actions not done by happy souls.
~•~
Those who are joyful from inside, not artificial,
Aspire to serve just Allah, not fearing the people.
They strive to do good despite critics' disapproval,
And shield themselves from sins which clearly lead to turmoil.
Happy souls share bright vibes. They're not causers of trouble.
~•~
๐ 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."
