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

🗒️ Five truths which you can remind yourself about to remain contented with not seeming "approachable", "interesting enough" or "likeable" to every soul on earth whom you're destined to meet:
1] While chicken or beef shawarma is yummy, not everyone on earth would enjoy it. From those who won't appreciate shawarma with meat are vegans, vegetarians and those who may be allergic. No matter how cool or fabulous you believe you are, you can't always evade critics and resentful grouches.
2] Although candies, desserts and sweets are delightful to many, they are usually avoided by those with a particular type of diabetes. Being kind and sweet in general can't always guarantee that you'll be "approved" by everybody. Your generosity and kindness can seem threatening to individuals who struggle with deep-seated jealousy or low self-esteem.
3] Imagine a large bowl of porridge or soup. Some may put the dish aside until it has cooled down, even though others find it warm enough to eat. Some could add more salt if they think it's bland, while others would finish it up whether dutifully or begrudgingly. People's reactions often differ depending on their tastes, interests, way of interpreting various circumstances, and experience or current moods.
4] The noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam is the best of Allah's Prophets 'alaihim as-salaam and the human being with the most beautiful conduct and exemplary character, yet he SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam was disliked by several misguided foes, unbelievers and hypocrites.
Even if you're one of those sincere believers who strive to maintain a strong connection with Allah the Almighty, somewhere around the globe you may encounter a number of enemies who despise you for your beliefs and personality.
5] The real reason why Allah the Most Wise created us is to worship Only Him Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, not necessarily to establish "friendship" with each and every one of Allah's servants. It's not an absolute crisis if some souls regard us as "too weird", "intimidating", "boring", "unapproachable" or "unrelatable", as long as we strive to be on the right path
Inn-sha-Allah towards Jannah Paradise and we're not one of those who are deliberately fixated on ignorance and irrational sycophancy.

📖 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."
