Poem: Do Not Let Social Media Make You Feel Insecure

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 
💌 Don't let social media make you feel so insecure. 
Don't allow some users' posts to make you feel unsure 
About the countless gifts which Allah chose to give you. 
While browsing around various profiles, never assume 
That some people's gains imply your value has reduced. 
~•~
Some people's need to showcase their wins, joys and virtues 
Online shouldn't be an invite for you to feel blue. 
View some of them as children flaunting their scribbles to 
Impress the grown-ups, while the others aren't secure 
With who they are, thus they're compelled to show off and prove. 
~•~
Those who don't always get to enjoy expensive food 
Often upload photos of drinks and meals they've consumed. 
Confident diners, who aren't one bit insecure, 
Don't feel obliged to photograph what they sip and chew. 
It's fine though to post pics to promote halal menus. 
~•~
Those who love taking pictures of themselves and in groups 
Should have some Islamic lessons properly reviewed. 
Obsession with selfies could show one feels insecure, 
Desperate to be told they're pretty, to feel valued, 
When good looks are less important than good deeds to do. 
~•~
So that social media doesn't make you insecure, 
Be careful with the info and content you consume. 
Unfollow users with narcissistic attitudes 
Whose posts can't inspire but cause you to feel insecure. 
And stay connected to Allah, with deep gratitude.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: 'If only I had done something else.' Rather say: "Allah has decreed what He wills." Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of shaytan."
