💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Some tips on how to deal with awkward situations,
How to keep cool, defeat feelings of embarrassment,
And seem confident or unfazed when some are laughing
At you or blushing when embarrassing things happen,
As you're here to serve Allah, not amuse His servants:
~•~
When you stumble or slip while you're casually walking,
Rise back up and confidently continue moving.
If you're surrounded by friends or spectators staring,
Wave your right hand and greet them with dashing confidence,
Or resume strolling like your fall is not a problem.
~•~
If you're in a group, and wish to ask or say something,
But nobody seemed to hear your question or statement,
Repeat it but with louder and clearer utterance,
Or calmly sigh and tell yourself "oh well..." from within,
"Maybe Allah wants that I skip it and stay silent.".
~•~
If an item fell while you were holding tons of things,
Or portions of a dish dropped while serving or eating,
And some cringe at your clumsiness in most gatherings,
Laugh about it, or embrace the fact you're different.
How Allah sees us matters more than what His slaves think.
~•~
Understand you're human, with flaws and imperfections.
Other humans too go through awkward moments often.
Learn from your mistakes and people's random shortcomings.
Allah may grant awkwardness as a hidden blessing
To always seek His Guidance and avoid arrogance.

📖 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."
