Poem: The Insecure Often Misunderstand Confidence As "Arrogance"

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

💌 Those with low or no self-esteem may wrongly perceive 

Confident people as "arrogant", "proud" and "snobby", 

Unaware their viewpoints don't confirm reality, 

Especially if they don't know the "haughty" fully.

~•~

If a person was walking amidst a busy street,

While some trucks nearly hit them and you aggressively 

Pushed the pedestrian aside for their own safety, 

Would it be fair if they called you a "prideful bully"?

~•~

Would it be right if you're told by classmates or colleagues 

That you're "so arrogant" as you're not afraid to speak, 

Ask questions to learn, share helpful tips generously, 

Avoid gossip, and choose close friends very carefully?

~•~

Such negative mindset reveals insecurities, 

Inferiority complex and obvious jealousy. 

Their misjudgment of you and plea to "be humble, please" 

Imply, "I can't handle your grit. It belittles me.

~•~

Your bravery makes me feel insecurely tiny.

Each time you take a stand, I'm triggered with vile envy. 

I hate how you seem 'perfect' with your fine qualities.

To dim your soul's light, I'll claim you lack humility."

~•~

Insecure folks like these are the kind to unfairly 

Tag Umar bin Al-Khattaab (RadhiAllahu 'anhu) as "prideful" and "scary",

When it's their jealous hearts that clash with inner beauty, 

And they misinterpret what confidence truly means.

~•~

Your actual self is seen by Allah the Almighty.

It's not your fault if Allah's slaves accuse you wrongly 

Of "arrogance". Their guessing games make it crystal clear 

They're confused from envy, or they don't know you really.

📖 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."

Poem: If You're Someone Who Doesn't Gossip, Avoid Gossipers Too.

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

💌 Just as you avoid dangerous snakes and bees offline, 

Have enough dignity to ignore those who backbite.

Unfollow users who post nonsense on their timelines, 

Who bash those they're jealous of from afar with clear lies, 

And whose immature attitude they don't realize.

~•~

It's enough that you often pass by negative news. 

Refuse to let lousy rumors disturb current moods.

"Adults" who like to rant about what others can't do, 

Who denounce those they don't know, proving they're insecure, 

And they're toxic deserve to be ditched for your own good.

~•~

Forget babysitting keyboard warriors in training, 

Who have a strange addiction to fault-finding, lying, 

Gossiping as though the sins they gain bring enjoyment 

To their despondent selves when jealousy destroys them.

Spaces where sad clowns gossip don't need your attention.

~•~

While you can't control people's speech, you got the freedom 

To stop checking on users who enjoy gossiping. 

Allow them to confirm their envy through describing

You wrongly. Trust Allah Who knows how to deal with them.

Absurd manners should inspire you to be more patient.

~•~
