๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐ Some tips on how to deal when some people laugh at you -
When they mock your mistakes, call you "weirdo" or "buffoon",
And return your attempts to learn with clear ridicule,
So you don't feel offended by what they say or do,
And so their mockery doesn't make you insecure:
~•~
Understand that Prophet Nuh ('alaihis salaam) was also ridiculed.
His dedication to build the ark caused critics to
Regard him as "strange", unaware they're the ones who'll lose
If they don't join him in accepting the obvious truth.
Their pride and laughter kept them from believing what's true.
~•~
Even the Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) went through ridicule,
Encountered unbelievers who were uncouth and rude,
And by many of his relatives wrongly accused,
Yet his strong faith and trust in Allah inspired him to
Persevere despite his enemies' verbal abuse.
~•~
Certain words in languages which are foreign to you
May sound funny but by their speakers they are valued.
Customs from other tribes may be readily eschewed
If they conflict with your values or you're from those who
Would require lots of time getting used to something new.
~•~
Let the people laugh. As long as Allah is with you,
Whatever Allah's servants accuse you of or do,
On the Day of Judgment when Allah reveals the truth,
They'll see who's at fault or wish they never laughed at you.
Some people's laughter shows they're jealous and insecure.

๐ Ibn Mas'ud RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated that he was harvesting toothsticks from an 'Arak tree and he had tiny shins. The wind blew and made him fall over, so some people laughed at him. The Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "What are you laughing at?" They said, “O Prophet of Allah, at his tiny shins.” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "By the One (Allah) in Whose Hand is my soul, they will both be heavier on the Scale than the mountain of Uhud."

๐ 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."
