Quote: Reminder On The Prohibition Of Gossiping And Backbiting

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

🗒️ "If the banks were to pull out or withdraw from our savings every time we indulged in gossip or backbiting, and they transferred some of our money to the accounts of the people whom we gossiped about, we would try our best to stay quiet to protect our wealth. Is our fleeting wealth more important and precious than our remaining good deeds?" 

~•~ 

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated that Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Do you know who is the bankrupt?" They said, “The one without money or goods is bankrupt.” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, the bankrupt of my nation are those who come on the Day of Resurrection with prayers, fasting, and charity, but also with insults, slander (gossiping, spreading rumors, and backbiting), consuming wealth, shedding blood (committing murder), and beating others. The oppressed (those whom they unfairly mistreated) will each be given from his good deeds. If his (the oppressor's) good deeds run out before justice is fulfilled, then their sins will be cast upon him and he (the oppressor who treated them wrongly) will be thrown into Jahannam/Hell."

If he has good deeds to his credit, they will be taken from him according to the measure of his injustice. If he has no good deeds left, he will bear the evil deeds of the one he has oppressed."

Poem: How To Deal With One-Sided "Friendships"

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

🗒️ Some advice on how to deal with one-sided "friendships", 

Idle bonds in which one soul is too scared to connect, 

And from the reasons why they're passive, unresponsive, 

Or uncooperative are they're either jealous, 

Intimidated, or they can't fathom your language: 

~•~ 

Firstly, thank Allah that through them you're motivated 

To differ from their lack of manners, and their toxic

Ways of treating people based on unjust perspectives. 

Acknowledge that not all souls, such as yourself, were blessed 

To be brought up by parents who are educated. 

~•~ 

Understand there's a difference between messages 

Left unanswered due to the fact they weren't read yet 

And ones that are ignored repeatedly on purpose. 

When coping with the latter, stay patient, and know this - 

True love can't be forced. If they act like walls, forget it. 

~•~ 

Just as you can't force yourself to enjoy egg sandwich 

With apple slices inside and cobwebs beside it, 

People have a right to choose who deserves their friendship. 

It's not your fault if your bright vibes scare someone's sadness, 

And if your values don't align with what they cherish.

~•~ 

Though you and some souls aren't friends, stay kind and know this: 

Allah the Most Wise controls everything and chooses 

Who gets to befriend you, who's better off avoided, 

And who shows up in your life as a gift to perfect 

Your patience in leaving what Allah prohibited. 

~•~
