💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 I have a choice to be friends with this neighbor whose name
Starts with the letter "R" but I choose to stay away
From her as the vibes she gives off makes me feel unsafe,
As I recall the rudeness she formerly displayed
And how she seems immature despite her older age.
~•~
I have a choice to befriend this other neighbor "A",
Pay visits to her and her kids every other day,
And discuss deep topics but I choose to stay away,
As more than twice she upset me in different ways.
I'd rather chat with ducks than scan a dishonest face.
~•~
I've a choice as well to connect with this soul whose name
Begins with "G", supposedly, but without dismay
I decide to avoid her gladly for Allah's sake,
As her expertise in gossip, mocking without shame,
And likely envy of my blessings generate hate.
~•~
There are many others to whom I gleefully wave
Goodbye after useful lessons they unwisely gave -
To not be like them in how they childishly behave,
To not emulate their urges to lie and betray,
And to value joy in avoiding those who are fake.
~•~
As a Muslim it's your right to cleverly evade
Connecting with toxic people who keep you away
From Allah the Almighty and reaching Jannah's Gates.
Also don't affiliate with those whose actions make
You doubt yourself. You don't want to lose track of your aims.
