💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
📜 When you've been described as "intimidating" by some
Or "somewhat scary" by someone whether old or young,
While you trust Allah the Almighty whilst His servants'
Opinions and complaints don't affect your decisions,
Stay firm, don't change yourself to appease Allah's servants.
~•~
When you're intimidating to clowns whose confidence
Is clearly low or non-existent, very often
You may go through exclusion in most situations -
A lot may shun sitting near you while others would run
Away from any chance to prolong conversations.
~•~
At times you're the topic discussed by jealous women
Through disgusting rumors or unjust accusations,
Badly mentioned by snakes who envy your achievements,
Then ignored on purpose in countless situations,
Avoided like how the sun's hot rays are sometimes shunned.
~•~
You're too bright or too fierce for some, and that's fine as long
As you don't purposely aim to oppress anyone.
If you're assertive and don't fear seeming different,
Those threatened by your strong presence may do what they can
To make you feel left out or like a lonesome alien.
~•~
Don't be influenced by their nonsense. As a Muslim,
Strive to pass Allah's tests with patience and resilience.
Continue researching to enhance intelligence,
And when you're eschewed by some childish jealous women,
Move on, thank Allah you're not like insecure humans.

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