Poem: It Is Not A Big Deal If You're Not Liked By Everybody

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

🗒️ Words of affirmation which you can confidently
Think to yourself when some wrongly guess you seem "lonely", 
When some clowns "reject" you or claim "you've got nobody": 
I was born to please Only Allah the Almighty. 
If God Allah loves me, why fear His slaves' enmity?
~•~
Why should I weep if I'm not liked by everybody 
On earth if Allah designed me to serve Him solely, 
Not to sacrifice my peace to meet everyone's needs, 
Not to befriend all souls who come in contact with me, 
And certainly not to entertain everybody.
~•~
Even coffee isn't liked by all; some prefer tea. 
Spicy meals as well aren't loved by every foodie. 
Not all enjoy okra. Some will never try seaweed. 
Some sushi lovers won't eat sushi if it has cheese. 
Not all trays at buffet restos get fully emptied.
~•~
Though you've got lots to offer, not every soul you meet 
Can recognize or value what just a few may see. 
If Allah blessed you with inner strength, joy and beauty, 
You'll likely scare off cowards who lack integrity 
Or attract bullies who'll mistreat due to jealousy.
~•~
Don't be upset if you're not liked by everybody, 
Since not all are as blessed as you in having received 
Good Islamic education and high-quality
Upbringing through parents who are happy inwardly. 
And in life as you thrive, expect jealous enemies.
~•~

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah (The Almighty) 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 (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) wills." Verily, the phrase 'if only' opens the way for the work of shaytan."
