💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
🗒️ Five tips to not feeling regretful at all about your decision to stop trying to stay friends with certain people:
1] Recall all the negative qualities of those ex-friends and the very reasons why you've finally decided to emotionally disconnect from them.
2] Appreciate the good outcomes of detaching from those toxic individuals. Acknowledge the fact that the blessings and benefits of no longer being close to them outweigh the disadvantages of discontinuing such unreliable connection.
3] Totally unfollow their social media accounts and don't bother asking anybody about details regarding their current circumstances. If somebody informed you of their wedding or recent travel to another country, refrain from collecting any information which won't improve your overall well-being. Nothing valuable can be obtained by frequently attempting to make sense of nonsensical nightmares.
4] Patiently accept that Allah the Almighty decreed such connection to cease at some point. If Allah the Most Wise saw any goodness in them for you and your faith / Imaan, the friendship would've remained intact.
5] Contentedly understand that the cessation or disappearance of a character's role from one chapter does not signify a story's ending. If you were able to survive in your younger years without them, your choice to quit considering them as a friend after less than five years mustn't be a problem, especially if their vibes and presence fail to inspire you to become a better Muslim.

📖 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."
