💌 Tips on how to deal with those casually passing by,
Who befriend for a while then after some time go "bye!"
Or who left when common traits in you they couldn't find,
Or whose sudden departure they failed to clarify,
So you can savor their absence and leave them behind...
~•~
From within, visualize sending this message to them:
"Dear ex-friends and strangers who are done with visiting,
First note, your fleeing didn't decrease my self-esteem.
I lost nothing by your choice to cut the connection.
If anything, I'm free from your toxic influence,
~•~
Far from your fitna and obsession with gossiping,
From your lies or expertise at teaching me nothing,
From your cowardice, envy and lack of commitment,
And if you're from those who don't fit ugly descriptions,
Then disconnecting from distractions is your freedom.
~•~
I've no qualms nor complaints about your disappearance,
Specially since your choices were by Allah destined.
How and when we met, and why you left were all written,
Predestined by Allah the Most Wise and All-Knowing.
So gladly I move on and smile at your decision."
~•~
For years you managed without them, yes you can survive
As long as you stay in touch with Allah day and night.
Temporary people inspire us to just rely
On Allah the Almighty, Most Loving and Most Kind.
Nothing's lost if we still keep Islam and faith inside.

📖 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."
