Poem: How To Treat Dishonest And Untrustworthy Individuals

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

💌 If you work with chronic liars who tend to tell lies 

Oftentimes to stroke their ego, keep you satisfied, 

Or they're trying to flee from more works and verbal fights, 

How would you deal with their likes while remaining polite? 

Ways to cope with untrustworthy people in your life: 

~•~ 

With those who lie a lot and break promises sometimes, 

Minimize needless talks. In the way you speak stay wise. 

When clarifying matters and greeting be concise. 

Decline them as potential close friends if they deny 

Any truth and they've disrespected you more than thrice. 

~•~ 

To shopping, outings and gatherings you've organized 

Don't invite them, and on them never ever rely. 

Respond to their gossip by pushing nonsense aside, 

Ignore the rumors they spread, to their jokes don't reply, 

And to their rehearsed acts, react with a quiet smile.

~•~  

By their delayed replies or ignoring you online 

Don't be surprised. Liars are cowards most of the time. 

If they're scared of confrontation, they'll attempt to hide 

Or avoid you, and hope that you'll soon vanish from sight. 

~•~ 

If they fail to fulfill your rights or take your advice, 

While their choice to quit lying can't be sure anytime, 

Stop making deals with them, don't make expectations high, 

And no matter how many times they betray and lie, 

Remain truthful for Allah. Don't copy their bad vibes.

~•~

📖 Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "You must be truthful. Verily, truthfulness leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise. A man continues to be truthful and encourages honesty until he is recorded with Allah as a truthful person. And beware of falsehood. Verily, falsehood leads to wickedness and wickedness leads to the Hellfire. A man continues to tell lies and encourages falsehood until he is recorded with Allah as a liar."

Poem: What Does Actual Happiness Look Like? What Does It Mean To Be Happy?

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

💌 What does joy look like? What does it mean to be happy? 

Enjoying a delightful meal with your family? 

Traveling abroad with them while your fam is complete? 

Receiving messages from a crush surprisingly 

And chatting as you laugh out loud occasionally? 

~•~ 

Completing episodes from your fave TV series? 

Discussing with close friends what you've learned from a movie? 

Winning a game and knowing how clever you can be? 

Listening to your favorite songs repeatedly? 

Touching yourself indecently then feeling filthy? 

~•~

It's not actual joy if it lasts momentarily. 

It's not real delight if it's enjoyed only briefly. 

Since dunya is a test, and this world's temporary, 

And the pleasures on earth disappear eventually, 

We believe that perfect bliss is in Jannah, not here.

~•~ 

Actions which are followed by instances when you feel 

Guilty, disgusted by what you did ignorantly, 

Or worried that some souls may expose your sinful feats 

Aren't deeds that can guarantee joy felt inwardly. 

Displeasing Allah with pride simply breeds misery.

~•~ 

To be happy from within, or contented at least:

Live life to please Allah and accept His Destiny, 

Read the Qur'an often, pray on time and properly, 

Study Islam, say Du'a and Adhkaar frequently, 

Treat Allah's slaves well, and don't oppress anybody.

~•~

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."
