💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
📝 Some secrets behind why some of us don't easily
Get hurt when criticized or excluded frequently:
We're here to please Allah Only, and know that envy
Usually motivates the insecure to mistreat
Those whose good traits remind them of their worse qualities.
~•~
Similarly critics are not perfect actually.
They err and misconstrue at times just like you and me.
If their opinions are mostly lies, why should we feel
Offended if their jokes suit them more accurately?
Stay unfazed by nonsense and those corrupt morally.
~•~
I'm a liar? Please, don't act like you know me fully.
Don't pretend as though you can read my thoughts entirely.
Only Allah witnesses what I go through daily,
While you can simply make guesses like examinees
Select options randomly if they didn't study.
~•~
You claim I'm poor? Broke? Ungraceful? Nasty or ugly?
Negative remarks typically come from those guilty
Of intense jealousy or those who bad-mouth conceal
Internal misery because if they were truly
Contented, they wouldn't treat humans obnoxiously.
~•~
Trying to offend those who live for Allah Only
Is like criticizing mountains and maligning trees
That don't entertain feelings nor care how you perceive
Them, particularly if you're the one actually
Distressed emotionally and don't know me fully.

📖 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 (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala), 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.”. (QaddarAllahu wa maa shaa-a fa'al) Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of shaytan."
