Poem: Shame On You If You Guess I Get Jealous When I Don't

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

🗒️ 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.
