Poem: Don't Be From The People Who Are Too Proud And Too Sad To Admit They're Sorry

πŸ’ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 
πŸ’Œ The bigger one's ego, the harder it is to say 
"I'm sorry", "forgive me for what I did yesterday", 
And "please accept my apology. I'll compensate 
For any loss or damage that was clumsily made." 
Connections can weaken when ego gets in the way. 
~•~ 
Three reasons why some people can't admit their mistakes: 
The level of contentment with their lives is small-scale, 
So their eagerness to sadden you stems from self-hate, 
Or pride causes them to presume they're flawless always, 
Or they're driven by intense envy to misbehave. 
~•~ 
If someone's response to your messages was delayed 
And why they answered late isn't tactfully explained, 
Or a rude shopper's cart collided with yours one day, 
And some sellers didn't give the right amount of change, 
Let Allah deal with them, and move on for Allah's sake. 
~•~ 
For people's apologies it's better not to wait, 
As most are insecure and immersed in dismal states. 
Don't expect those with bad ethics to enunciate 
That they regret behaving badly and straight away 
They'll correct their errors when from pride they're not yet saved. 
~•~ 
Pardon their shortcomings and choices, for Allah's sake. 
Through encounters with them we're trained to never betray 
And act improperly with any of Allah's slaves. 
When mistreated by souls who carry around self-hate, 
Thank Allah. "Sad" and "insecure" aren't from your traits. 
~•~ 
πŸ“– Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Charity does not decrease wealth, no one forgives another but that Allah increases his honor, and no one humbles himself for the sake of Allah but that Allah raises his status."

"The supplications of three persons are never turned away (rejected): A fasting person until he breaks his fast, a just ruler, and the supplication of the oppressed which is raised by Allah above the clouds, the gates of Paradise are opened for it, and Allah the Almighty says: 'By My Might and Majesty, I will help you in due time.'"
