Poem: Tired Of Jealous People Treating You Rudely? Feel Sorry For Them. They're Actually Unhappy.

πŸ’ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
πŸ—’️ Letter to comfort Muslims who are often bullied 
Or treated rudely by those guilty of jealousy: 
Know that those who are blessed with faith and inner beauty
Don't roam around earth to bully and spread misery. 
Whoso treats you badly is jealous or unhappy. 
~•~
Maybe envy disturbs them because you look pretty; 
And knowing you're much prettier spoils their self-esteem. 
Or they're single while you're married, or your bravery
Seen in accepting your husband's choice to remarry 
Makes them feel insecure or emotionally weak. 
~•~
Or they're envious because to several countries
You've traveled, or Allah enriched you with piety 
And guidance to do more good deeds with sincerity. 
Or Allah granted you from your loving family 
Some relatives who advise you when necessary. 
~•~
Or those jealous people, they envy you intensely, 
Because the way you deal with others confidently
Causes them to doubt their self-worth and abilities. 
Or you strive to keep it real, while they're untrustworthy. 
Your honesty makes them feel inferior morally.
~•~
Most likely the fact that they envy you immensely
Is the reason why they treat you disrespectfully. 
Feel sorry for them. Perhaps Allah the Almighty
Doesn't love them enough to bless them with inner peace 
And true contentment with Allah's gifts dispersed wisely.
~•~
From the problems of the jealous: Persistent worry, 
Inability to relax because you clearly
Surpass, outshine and transcend them in ways aplenty, 
And constant urge to stalk your online posts spitefully - 
Bad energy from spite is too heavy to carry.
~•~
Tired of toxic people treating you obnoxiously? 
Let their discourtesy testify that jealousy 
Triggers them to misbehave to soothe despondency. 
While some envy your trust in Allah the Almighty, 
Others can't stand seeing you satisfied inwardly.

πŸ“– Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Do not envy one another, do not outbid each other, do not hate one another, do not turn away from each other, and do not outsell each other. Rather, be servants of Allah as brothers. The Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. He does not wrong him, nor humiliate him, nor look down upon him. Righteousness is here," and he Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam pointed to his chest three times. The Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "It is enough evil for a man to look down upon his Muslim brother. The entirety of the Muslim is sacred to another Muslim: his life, his wealth, and his reputation."
