๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐ When Allah the Most Wise loves you,
He grants you what's best,
Such as eagerness to collect Islamic knowledge
From authentic sources and guidance to pass His tests.
Often Allah lets you meet souls who show disrespect
So you grow stronger and learn to ditch what He detests.
~•~
If ever you reflect on why certain people left,
Why you and a few neighbors failed to deeply connect,
And why some "friendships" were short-lived, know that you are blessed
If you're close to Allah, He only wants to protect
You and your faith from fitna and souls with foul motives.
~•~
Maybe you and so-and-so fought since Allah witnessed
Their deep-seated grudge and envy of your countless gifts,
Their false smiles, rehearsed lies, and wish to take advantage
Of your kindness while their likes clash with your interests.
Allah may not like them so you had to disconnect.
~•~
Don't blame yourself if you were lied to. The dishonest
Will get Allah's Justice and rewards for what they did.
Ex-friends remind us that just Allah can be trusted.
Although some "friends" exited, with Allah's Love persist.
From the selfish and jealous - good manners don't expect.
~•~
When you're from those whom Allah loves, He grants you what's best
And keeps you away from souls with malicious motives.
Allah sees what's in the hearts of those He created.
When you and so-and-so drift apart, don't stay upset.
Allah's Will to send them away patiently accept.
