Poem: To Those Who Enjoy Gossiping About Me, I Can Tell You're Jealous

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
📝 To the bashers out there who stalk my posts frequently 
With bitterness, awareness they're guilty of envy
And eagerness to gossip and bully childishly, 
Who seem shaky when I'm nearby yet they cowardly 
Diss me in my absence so their ego is appeased: 
~•~
I can tell you're jealous. Don't deny it. It's so clear - 
Your envy is like elephants hiding nervously
Behind a leafless tree, or like a frightened monkey 
Trying to conceal itself beneath a tiny leaf. 
You're jealous, and you know it. Your rudeness makes it clear. 
~•~
Your envy is shown each time you roll your eyes at me 
When I speak or try to contribute generously
To most group conversations, and you'd appear to me 
As if you often grumble to yourself "why does she 
Feel the need to brag and prove she's better constantly?" 
~•~
It's so obvious, your exasperating jealousy, 
When you exclude me from planned gatherings purposely, 
When you break promises a lot, when you feel the need 
To point out my flaws and criticize my family, 
When you recruit more clowns to partake in your envy, 
~•~
And when I discover how you've been regularly
Talking badly about me to heal your jealousy. 
You're jealous because I'm okay with polygyny, 
My parents are educated while yours probably
Failed to teach you basic manners and integrity, 
~•~
You despise how my husband deserves my loyalty, 
How he's a doctor who owned many cars previously 
And tries his best to improve in faith and piety, 
And you envy how I don't keep him for his money
But I want him with me in Jannah eternally.
~•~
You're jealous. Even if you won't admit it, it's clear - 
Your envy - when you mention my name negatively
Or treat me rudely so your frail ego is relieved. 
Collect all my sins each time you backbite about me.
I forgive and distance myself from your misery.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Whoever wrongs his brother in his honor or anything else should resolve the matter today before it cannot be resolved with gold and silver coins. If he has good deeds to his credit, they will be taken from him according to the measure of his injustice. If he has no good deeds left, he will bear the evil deeds of the one he has oppressed."

Note: Indicators Of Jealousy On Social Media And While Chatting

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

📝 Subtle and obvious signs that a person may be intensely jealous of you regardless of their age through chatting and social media: 
1] Although they claim to be educated and frequently capitalize the first letter of other individuals' names while chatting or commenting on posts, you notice an absurd pattern in them consistently misspelling your name (even though your correctly spelled name may be evident in your username) or typing it incorrectly all too often, as though they're desperate to show disrespect in any way to alleviate their unpleasant feelings of jealousy towards you and your blessings. 
2] While they regularly try to answer other Muslims' salaams online or on chat groups, they seem to be obnoxiously consistent in answering your messages or posts without responding to your salaams. Intentionally ignoring your greetings online and face to face may be their strange coping mechanism with debilitating feelings of extreme envy. 
3] If they're part of a chat group which you're a member of, they are consistently nonreactive or silent whenever you share some beneficial content or ask questions. However, as soon as you make a mistake or forward certain misinformation, they excitedly point out your errors, publicly scold or criticize you in the main body of the group chat instead of correcting or advising you one-on-one, and they do this a lot. Envious people would do whatever they can to upset you to enjoy a temporary feeling of "superiority".
4] On a regular basis they deliberately leave you out when tagging a number of users (on some of their status updates or while conversing in a chat group) who are your mutual acquaintances and you all were active participants in the same activity, despite being fully aware of your account and presence in the group conversation. 
5] You've never received a single compliment or congratulatory message from them whenever you shared joyful moments or uplifting news, in spite of them being "connected" with you on social media, and if ever you express gratitude to Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala or display any form of joy for an achievement, you've heard them say something like "you're just lucky", "good for you. I'm so jealous of you now", "jeez, why are you such a show-off?", "stop being narcissistic" or "whatever".
