🗒️ The likeness of narcissists who foolishly take pride
In their lavish cribs, luxury rides, pricey attire,
And worldly joys while they deny Jannah Paradise,
Is that of prideful donkeys desperate to be admired
For dried twigs they amassed while discarding gold nearby,
~•~
Or disturbed monkeys in a safari park at night
Showing off their treasures of banana peels they like,
While there's no valid reason to envy their lifestyle,
Specially if they're misguided, can't tell wrong from right,
And this dunya's delusions depress them from inside.
~•~
I can't inspire myself to feel jealous of the lives
Of avaricious people whom Allah doesn't guide
To Islam, charity and belief in Paradise,
Specially if they're not wise enough to realize
This world is a test and demise can come anytime.

If ever you encounter narcissists who take pride
In their lavish cribs, luxury rides, pricey attire,
And "poor" is a word they, with kibr, use to describe
You, while you're contented, not jealous of their lifestyle,
Specially if there are signs by Allah they're despised,
~•~
Tell yourself: No need for their temporary delights,
Materialism is not something which Allah likes,
And your wealth won't join you in your grave when death arrives.
Don't bother desiring this world's pleasures masked with lies.
Their worth doesn't equate with true bliss in Paradise.

📖 Abu Dharr RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "O Abu Dharr, do you say an abundance of possessions is wealth?" I said 'yes.' The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Do you say a lack of possessions is poverty?" I said 'yes.' The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam repeated this three times, then he said, "Wealth is in the heart and poverty is in the heart. Whoever is wealthy in his heart will not be harmed no matter what happens in the world. Whoever is impoverished in his heart will not be satisfied no matter how much he has in the world. Verily, he will only be harmed by the greed of his own soul."
