Poem: Some Tips To Completely Move On From Broken Friendships

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

🗒️ Some advice to those who have finally decided 

To quit building friendship with somebody who's toxic, 

Who took their kindness for granted, failed to acknowledge 

The importance of staying honest, and they acted 

Distant, unwilling to connect with a good purpose: 

~•~

Don't scold yourself. All the gifts you gave aren't wasted. 

Allah is the Most Just. Have hope you'll be rewarded 

For wanting to please Allah by being generous 

And for your patience with souls who often get jealous 

Of you so they act mean and unappreciative.

~•~

Don't feel stupid for trusting those who can't be trusted. 

View broken friendships as lessons which help you admit 

Not all of Allah's slaves deserve your companionship, 

And not all of Allah's servants are blessed with courage 

To reciprocate efforts or drive away conflict.

~•~

You were kind, and still are. And you were being tested. 

From such tests emerge stronger, wiser and more cautious, 

More sagacious around those whom you'll encounter next, 

More aware of the tricks of obnoxious narcissists, 

And with less expectations so you won't get upset.

~•~

Former "friends" who fled without explaining what they did 

Are like dead leaves in thick forests. No need for unrest 

And sadness over situations that can't be fixed. 

It's their loss, really. They miss out on long fellowship, 

While you gain inner peace knowing they're no longer missed.

~•~

📖 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."
