✅ It's a blessing in disguise to gladly leave behind
Five kinds of ex-friends who shouldn't be part of your life:
The arrogant and misguided who despise advice
While their ugly pride makes them assume they're always "right".
Mostly drama is produced from these deluded types.
~•~
Two: Immature "adults" who act like a bratty child,
And they expect you to comply with their wants and likes -
These narcissists don't deserve to be part of your life
If they're experts at demanding only what they like,
There's no connection; it's one-sided - avoid these types.
~•~
Three: If they're older than you yet it's clear they're unwise,
Deprived of good manners, and whenever they decide
They let feelings control them and let their values slide.
Respect yourself enough to stay detached from their plight.
Stress often arises from wasting time with these types.
~•~
Four: For Allah's sake as well wave to these clowns goodbye -
Those obsessed with irony and enjoy telling lies,
Not taking their faith seriously, they fail to inspire
You to be a better Muslim - they're like futile flies
Whose absence brings forth peace and presence is not worthwhile.
Be kind to yourself through caution when nearby these types.
~•~
Five: Those guilty of more than one trait which uglify
One's morals - reentry to your life must be denied.
Sometimes when Allah wants you closer to Paradise,
Allah may remove some souls to shield you from their vice.
No regret. Thank Allah for such blessing in disguise.
