Tips: Three Reasons Why Most People Can't Be Described As Trustworthy

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

🗒️ Three reasons why most people can't be trusted, which is why Allah the Almighty is the Only One Whom we can truly trust: 

1] Most people, when insecure or discontented with Allah's Qadr / Destiny, tend to envy others' accomplishments, joys and blessings. A person who feels jealous of you in any way can never be relied on because they don't want you to succeed in life or surpass them at something which they themselves are trying to attain. 

2] Most humans have the potential to be greedy opportunists and selfish narcissists. You can never rely on somebody who cares more about their ego, desires and pride than people's needs and rights. Don't be surprised if an acquaintance breaks a promise, tells lies or disappoints you one day if they assume that doing so is advantageous to them in the long run.

3] All human beings occasionally forget and make mistakes. The less profitable you appear to certain individuals, the more likely they are to take you for granted. Lower your expectations when it comes to dealing with those who have proven to be dishonest so you don't easily get disappointed. 

✅ Five qualities of trustworthy souls and they are very few: 

1] It is obvious that they strive to maintain Taqwa while they fear only Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala. 

2] They try their best to be careful with their words, and if ever they said or did anything which upset someone, they have the courage to sincerely apologize for their wrongs. 

3] When borrowing money and items from others, they make sure that they return what they borrowed in their proper condition and as punctually as they can. 

4] Even if they're oftentimes in a bad mood, they strive to maintain good character, answering salaams responsibly, meeting people with a cheerful demeanor, and refraining from acting unfairly despite how they feel. 

5] They aim to do good only to please Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, not for deceitful motives and personal gain. They're not the kind of people who overreact and sulk when you don't reciprocate their kindness immediately.

📖 Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "You must be truthful. Verily, truthfulness leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise. A man continues to be truthful and encourages honesty until he is recorded with Allah as a truthful person. And beware of falsehood. Verily, falsehood leads to wickedness and wickedness leads to the Hellfire. A man continues to tell lies and encourages falsehood until he is recorded with Allah as a liar."

Poem: Do Everything Just To Please Allah And Your Efforts Won't Be Wasted

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

💌 Do good deeds just for Allah, and you won't regret it. 

Work hard to reach Jannah, and efforts are not wasted. 

To those who often feel "underappreciated", 

"Undervalued" or "underrated", take note of this: 

We're here to serve Allah, not slaves whom He created.

~•~

If sometimes in your workplace you try your very best 

To do a job well done only to get unnoticed 

By your employers who when you thrive remain quiet 

And when errors are made, they turn into loud critics, 

Stay patient for Allah Who sees all good deeds you did.

~•~ 

Know that oftentimes people who fail to encourage 

Others to do whatever they can to gain success 

Would refuse to support you as they're sadly jealous. 

Don't be affected by the acts of the envious. 

Let their envy inspire you to be tougher instead.

~•~

Acknowledge the truth that not all of Allah's Prophets ('alaihim as-salaam) 

Were loved and supported by all of their relatives. 

Even from your own clan you may encounter hatred 

And attempts to ensure your goals are not accomplished. 

Continue doing good for Allah without regret.

~•~

'Tis better to earn Allah's Love along with some stress 

Than aimlessly rest while sins are being recorded, 

And more noble than being frequently applauded 

By "fans" is hoping your patience will be rewarded. 

Live to please Allah, so your striving isn't wasted.

~•~

📖 Ibn Abbas RadhiAllahu 'anhuma narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, Allah has recorded good and evil deeds and He made them clear. Whoever intends to perform a good deed but does not do it, Allah will record it as a complete good deed. If he intends to do it and does so, Allah the Almighty will record it as ten good deeds, up to seven hundred times as much or even more. If he intends to do an evil deed and does not do it, Allah will record for him one complete good deed. If he does it, Allah will record for him as one evil deed."

A man is put to trial according to his Deen/religion. If he is firm in his religion, his trials will be more severe. If he is weak in his religion, he is put to trial according to his strength in religion. The servant will continue to be put to trial until he is left walking upon the earth without any sin."
