💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
📑 Five signs indicating it's a blessing you are no longer close to certain people (former "friends") and there is no reason to look back at your old chat conversations:
1] You feel that your faith / Imaan has increased and you've found more tranquility ever since they stopped communicating with you.
2] If you ever stumble upon their social media accounts, you notice they still haven't changed for the better - they're still narcissistic, frequently uploading vainglorious selfies with loads of makeup on and occasionally posting passive-aggressive posts as though they haven't given up their toxic addiction to backbiting and fault-finding. It's for your own good that Allah the Most Wise decreed to keep you far away from their negative influence.
3] Although you may hear their names being mentioned or see their usernames online once in a while, there's not a single bit of remorse in detaching from them. This shows that Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala didn't destine your souls to connect. Why cry over somebody who was never meant to network with you?
4] Staying connected to them doesn't add any value to your life as a Muslim. Instead of showing interest in learning more about Islam, generously sharing authentic Islamic knowledge, and discussing topics to strengthen your belief/'Aqeedah, they're more fascinated with materialistic matters, watching movies, listening to the latest songs, purchasing items on sale or joking about other people's flaws.
5] With or without them you know you can Inn-sha-Allah manage, aware that the empty spaces they left behind can eventually be replaced by other souls who are more deserving of your love for Allah's sake and Du'as if not in this world then in Jannah Paradise.
