✅ Some things to expect when lots of females envy you,
As you're skilled at doing worthwhile tasks which they can't do,
Because you're prettier than them while they're insecure,
Or you're married and they're single, or you're a wife who
Is fine with her spouse staying wed to four, three or two,
~•~
Or your strong faith and trust in Allah causes them to
Feel somewhat "inferior" so they strive to malign you,
Unaware that Allah is the One Who granted you
Those gifts as tests and to examine their Imaan too -
They're not doing well if they remain jealous of you...

Here's what to expect when many females envy you:
Jealous females treating you in a way that is rude,
Inventing rumors about you, trying to exclude
You from their outings so their self-hatred gets reduced,
They wish to see you sad so their hurt ego is soothed.
~•~
Expect envious females with low confidence to
Frequently ignore your salaams, stubbornly refuse
To show kindness to one whose good qualities seduce
Them to feeling as though they're more useless than proud mules,
And make you feel "unseen", evincing ingratitude.
~•~
Expect loads of eye-rolling from souls who envy you,
Spiteful giggles and ridicule from the insecure,
Exclusion from gatherings often done by those who
Find your inner beauty threatening so they're forced to
Mistreat you since your self-esteem makes them insecure.
~•~
When treated with disrespect from those who envy you,
Don't doubt your self-worth. Instead, have patience, gratitude
And contentment with the blessings which Allah gave you.
Be contented we're not like them - disturbed, insecure
And ugly on the inside with manners immature.
~•~
They're unhappy really, emotionally abused
By their own jealousy and sins in oppressing you.
Await Allah's Justice. Know that Judgment Day is true.
And believe, with certainty, acknowledge that for sure
Most people won't envy one who's idle, plain and poor.

📖 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."
