๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐ Five things which could drain or deplete your energy - avoid them for Allah's sake as much as possible:
1] Forcing yourself to be liked by certain individuals because you wrongly assume that their approval can uplift your current mood or upraise your reputation. ❌
๐ Solution: Be more concerned about how our Creator Allah the Almighty sees us and don't be affected at all by His servants' animosity and criticism. ✅
2] Spitefully stalking timelines and accounts of social media users who mostly upload content which make you feel jealous or unsatisfied with the blessings that Allah the Most Wise chose to grant you. ❌
๐ Solution: If a person is incapable of inspiring you to become a better human and more productive Muslim in any way, then you absolutely have the right to ignore their toxic posts and focus on seeking authentic Islamic knowledge from more trustworthy sources. ✅
3] Collecting negative news, frequently paying attention to people quarrel, and absorbing complainers' or fault-finders' debilitating energies regularly. ❌
๐ Solution: Confidently refuse to take part in aimless debates, know when to walk away from the urge to always prove that you're right, and be cleverly selective regarding the sort of information you assimilate offline and online. ✅
4] Nosily listening to rumors and partaking in nonsensical gossip. ❌
๐ Solution: Instead of misusing the hearing and speaking abilities which Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala gave you, use them wisely to attain rewards and more of Allah's Love by saying lots of Dhikr, listening to comforting recitations of the Noble Qur'an and calmly reciting from the Mushaf for Allah's sake as often as you can. ✅
5] Constantly expecting everybody on earth to treat you well just because you put effort into maintaining good manners. ❌
๐ Solution: Just because you don't eat lions and tigers doesn't mean they will never devour you. Not everyone on this planet was educated about the significance of basic etiquettes and you'd likely be mistreated by those who are envious or awfully insecure. Thank Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala for not making you as miserable as they are, view them as reminders of how not to behave, and recall that even Allah's Prophets 'alaihim as-salaam also encountered difficult characters occasionally to be rewarded for their Sabr and Du'as ✅

๐ Suhayb RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Amazing is the affair of the believer, as there is good for him in every matter. This is not the case for anyone but for the believer. If he goes through ease (or happy moments), he thanks Allah and it is good for him. If he goes through difficulty, he shows patience and it is good for him."

๐ Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Whoever relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, Allah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever helps ease one in difficulty, Allah will make it easy for him in this world and the Hereafter. Whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and the Hereafter. Allah helps the servant as long as he helps his brother (or sister in Islam). Whoever travels a path in search of knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise. People do not gather in the Houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying It together, but that tranquility will descend upon them, mercy will cover them, angels will surround them, and Allah will mention them to those near Him. Whoever is slow to good deeds will not be hastened by his lineage."
