๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐️ Shame on them - those females older than thirty years old
Who have a bad habit of acting morally low,
Often maltreating those upon whom Allah bestows
Gifts and blessings which they lack, while they haven't yet grown
Out of their urge to bully like naughty ten-year-olds.

Shame on you, if you claim to be a "friend", while it's known
That your envy entices you to diss to and fro
All those who show they're "better" and disturb your ego.
Real friends encourage each other and provide support,
Not spoil others' joy because they themselves are not whole.
~•~
Shame on me if I doubt Allah's Wisdom, but I don't,
If I question Allah's Way of designing this world
And His Choice to distribute certain favors untold.
I don't doubt Allah's Justice; with certainty I know
That some tests come in the form of scarcity or gold.
~•~
Shame on so-called "adults" who sometimes try to provoke
You to misbehave or feel upset through their foul words
Or through revolting acts. They're so jealous that it hurts
To see you surpassing them and improving yourself.
So they resort to gossip to tone down feeling worse.
~•~
Acting on jealousy is something true Muslims won't
Do, especially if our faith Imaan remains strong
While we believe that Allah the Most Wise always knows
Who from His slaves can benefit from what He bestows
And who are better off not having what others own.
