💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most
Gracious The Most Merciful
🗒️ Question: What’s your secret, as
an INTJ personality type, to apathy or feeling indifferent, unaffected and
unfazed whenever some individuals behave disrespectfully such as purposely ignoring
your salaams, leaving an online group chat, or when some students and
colleagues are being uncooperative, uncommunicative or cowardly
passive-aggressive?
📝 Answer: Alhamdulillah I believe
that as long as I try my best to maintain integrity and decent manners,
performing whatever tasks I can complete for Allah’s sake as much as possible,
the unreliability, misconduct and obnoxious acts of troublemakers don’t matter
to me. While I don’t believe in “karma”, I do believe that Allah’s Justice is
true and He Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala knows precisely how to deal with His servants
and when to carry out His retributions at the most ideal timing. What goes
around comes around, if not in this world then surely in the next life or on
the Day of Judgment.
I also imagine that the dishonest, obviously jealous, and unmannered people
whom I occasionally encounter in this dunya are like actors in a prank or
social experiment show with secret spying devices or surveillance gadgets, all
working together to nosily see how I’d react to their lack of good character
and untrustworthiness. I wouldn’t respond in the way they’d want me to because
overacting emotionally would only satisfy their insecure egos. Not giving
shaytan and his puppets (who insist on following shaytan’s suggestions) the
reaction which they desperately seek annoys them a lot more than attempting to
get even every single time they demand the attention that was probably not
given to them by their parents, which could explain their awful attitudes and
eagerness to upset others, misbehaving to distract themselves from their
self-loathing and gigantic load of insecurities.
Alhamdulillah they can be blessings in disguise when their unreasonable choices
or self-imposed mistakes indirectly teach me to be more patient and successful
at avoiding misdeeds. The more I avoid troublemakers and overacting to their
nonsense, Alhamdulillah the more I become accustomed to staying away from what
Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala and His noble Messenger Muhamamd SallAllahu ‘alaihi
wa sallam despise.

📖 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."
