Poem: Three Reasons Why Allah Sometimes Decrees That We Meet People Who Lack Good Character

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

💌 Three reasons why Allah sometimes decrees that we meet 

Toxic people and those who treat us improperly, 

From the weak who ignore salaams, those prone to envy, 

Those who count our flaws, those who roll their eyes when we speak, 

Those who stole from us, and haters who spread calumnies: 

~•~

One: To learn patience, get rewarded for patiently 

Tolerating trolls and troublemakers who mistreat 

Us when we're only trying to apply courtesy.

If all souls we met treated us well impressively, 

We wouldn't have discovered what patience really means.

~•~

Two: To be familiar with what it feels to receive 

Unfair treatment, awful service, and dishonesty. 

So our awareness of how bad manners are nasty 

Can remind us to deal with humans respectfully, 

Specially with fellow Muslims and one's family. 

~•~

Three: To remember to thank Allah for His Mercy, 

As good character is a gift deprived by many. 

When some souls interact with you disrespectfully, 

Realize deep inside they're disturbed, lost, unhappy, 

So they lack guts to say "Thanks", "Please", "Love you", and "Sorry".

~•~

Broken people want others wounded similarly. 

Their rudeness indicates they often feel incomplete. 

Next time someone mistreats you or acts impolitely, 

Stay patient. Thank Allah you don't have their misery.

And be inspired to behave with others more kindly.

📖 Abu Darda RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Nothing is heavier upon the scale of a believer on the Day of Resurrection than his good character. Verily, Allah hates the vulgar and obscene person (prone to wicked conduct and vile speech such as purposely telling lies, backbiting, spreading rumors)."

📖 Sa’d Ibn Abi Waqqas RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, which of the people are most severely tested?” The Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "They are the prophets, then the next best (in terms of piety), then the next best. A man is put to trial according to his Deen/religion. If he is firm in his religion, his trials will be more severe. If he is weak in his religion, he is put to trial according to his strength in religion. The servant will continue to be put to trial until he is left walking upon the earth without any sin."
