Note: Met Some Greedy People With Poor Upbringing? Don't Copy Them. Avoid Acting Like Desperate Animals

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

I understand, that situation would feel very offensive — especially since you prepared the food and respectfully waited until others had eaten, only to discover someone acted selfishly and disrespectfully with your tray. It matches exactly the tone of that Facebook status about greed and lack of self-control.

Here’s a structured breakdown for you:

29 Lessons That Can Be Learned

Always label your trays and dishes with your name/family name to prevent confusion or misuse.

Some people reveal their true character in small moments like food distribution.

Greed can appear in unexpected places, even in school events meant for children.

Not everyone values fairness, so you must protect your own share.

Waiting patiently is noble, but it may give room for greedy people to take advantage.

Hospitality must be balanced with self-protection.

People with poor manners don’t think of others’ efforts.

Small acts of rudeness reveal bigger flaws in personality.

Respect is not universal; some don’t reciprocate kindness.

Being generous does not guarantee appreciation.

Greedy people will always find excuses.

Events show social hierarchies — who respects whom and who doesn’t. (And they reveal who were brought up well versus who had lousy poor upbringing)

One disrespectful act can spoil a good event for someone.

It’s important to eat before giving away everything so you don’t end up empty-handed.

Documentation matters (a label could have prevented this misuse).

The greedy person didn’t just take food, they showed their lack of dignity.

Not everyone thinks like you (waiting for students first).

You cannot control others’ behavior, only your reaction.

Selfish people often don’t notice their ugliness.

Children learn from adults’ behavior—if guardians behave badly, many kids and grandkids may copy.

Social events test patience and tolerance.

Greed is often masked as “need.”

What you consider unacceptable, others might normalize.

Sometimes silence is stronger than confrontation.

One’s manners at the dining table show one’s upbringing.

Food-sharing events reveal hidden jealousy or envy.

Hospitality requires boundaries.

Even if your effort was overlooked, Allah the Almighty knows your intention.

Your self-control and observation are proof of your maturity.

27 Pieces of Advice to Give (Practical + Moral)

Always keep one plate aside for yourself before serving others.

Label trays clearly with your family name.

If disposable plates run out, keep a backup pack hidden.

Politely remind organizers to distribute food fairly.

Set boundaries — hospitality and kindness should not mean self-deprivation.

Speak up gently if someone uses your tray without permission.

Document what you bring and what happens for accountability.

Give food with a limit — avoid giving away everything before you eat.

Place your dish near trusted people who won’t misuse it.

Keep your food covered until it’s time to eat.

Teach students about respect for food and property.

Guardians should be reminded the event is for students, not them.

Next time, use different containers (unique ones that stand out).

Don’t assume everyone has your same good upbringing and good manners.

Lower expectations of people’s gratitude.

Focus on students’ enjoyment, not on rude unethical individuals.

Accept that greedy people expose themselves — you don’t need to expose them directly.

Stay contented with your contribution even if it was mishandled.

Pray for patience and that your reward is with Allah the Almighty.

Avoid confrontation during the event, but note the behavior for future.

Remember generosity is for pleasing Only Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, not for human recognition.

Take such experiences as reminders about trust.

Don’t be discouraged from participating again, just adjust your strategy.

Model dignity for the students so they see the difference.

Use this lesson to teach kids that greed harms connections.

If you join next time, assign someone to watch over the food.

Let go emotionally — their action reflects them, not you.

Summary:
The incident was indeed ugly, but it revealed important social lessons. You stayed dignified while somebody else exposed their poor upbringing and terrible lack of manners. The key takeaway: balance your generosity with wisdom and self-care so that greedy people cannot take advantage of your kindness and contribution.

⤴️ ChatGPT

Perfect 👍 I’ll draft five different Facebook-style reflections for you — each with a different tone (serious, inspiring, sarcastic, cautionary-funny, and hilarious-with-lessons). That way, you can choose depending on how you want your message to come across.

1. Serious (Straightforward, Moral Reminder)

Stealing is wrong in every form. Yesterday, I witnessed how greed can make someone shameless enough to take what doesn’t belong to them — even food on a tray that others prepared with effort. Food was meant for students, not for greedy hands. May we remember that dignity and self-control are far more valuable than any snack on a plate.


2. Long and Inspiring (Life Lesson Style)

Yesterday taught me something valuable: you can prepare, you can share, you can wait patiently for others to be served first — but in the end, some people will still expose themselves through their greed. They may think they won, but the truth is, they lost something far greater than food. They lost respect. They lost dignity. They showed children that selfishness can live in adults, and that’s tragic. For me, it was a test of patience. I was reminded that Allah the Almighty sees intention, not outcome. What matters is that I gave, I shared, and I remained composed. That is my victory. Alhamdulillah. The greedy person may have filled their plate, but they emptied their character.


3. Sarcastic (Sharp, With Bite)

Ah yes, the mysterious vanishing tray. Imagine the desperation: removing snacks from someone else’s dish and dumping them onto a salad just to use the tray as your personal plate. Bravo! Truly, nothing says “refined manners” like stealing food containers at a grade 7 event. Some people don’t need to announce who they are — their behavior does it for them louder than a microphone.


4. Cautionary but Funny (Playful Warning)

Note to self: next time at a school food display, bring two things — my own labeled tray and a hidden emergency stash of disposable plates. Because apparently, when supplies run low, some folks’ survival instincts kick in: “Why ask? Just steal the tray and rearrange the food!” Reminder to all — don’t let hunger downgrade your humanity. A plate is replaceable. Manners? Not so much.


5. Hilarious with Lessons (Humor + Wisdom)

Yesterday’s Food Display Contest taught me priceless lessons:

Food can disappear faster than WiFi load.


Some adults act hungrier than the students.


If your tray isn’t labeled, it magically becomes community property.


People will steal a plate even if it means tossing someone else’s snacks onto a salad.


The biggest lesson? Always guard your food like a dragon guarding treasure.


Honestly, my Arab snacks may be gone, but at least my manners aren’t. Some people walked away full, but still very poor morally and so empty inside.

⤴️ Some notes from ChatGPT

Got it 👍 You want me to analyze the character traits that can be observed in those different kinds of parents/guardians during the food display competition. I’ll list 13 traits each for the five categories you saw. I’ll also reflect your perspective on what seemed admirable, neutral, or rather negative.

Tactless – not aware of the impression they leave.

Distracting – disturb the flow of the classroom.

Tips: 3 Lessons Learned From Another Busy Day At Wisdom Islamic School In Davao City Southern Philippines Mindanao

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

🌻 3 Quick life lessons learned Alhamdulillah today Wednesday August 27 from one of this week's events at Wisdom Islamic School K-12 accredited by the department of education Alhamdulillah (Davao city, Mindanao, Philippines):-
🔹 I remember purchasing a disposable container of biryani for 120 pesos from a food stall in front of the Blue Mosque/Masjid in Taguig and another container of biryani for 110 pesos or something from some fellow niqabi Muslimahs before we went to Venice Grand Canal Mall only for me to later give them to two different individuals because for some reason we felt satisfied Alhamdulillah with the other refreshments we had at a coffee shop. I was actually looking forward to trying those biryani only for them to end up with two acquaintances whom we met at a hotel while attending a gathering with some sisters in Islam. From that incident of us not having eaten those packed biryani meals while I was able to order some biryani Alhamdulillah from Umm Muhammad today after a long time of not having tried biryani because it's not something I myself would buy on a daily basis, and on behalf of one of the supportive moms here, a fellow colleague, and a female neighbor, I once again remind myself that anything we consume, give for Allah's sake, order on behalf of somebody, take photo of, receive, contribute, and share for Allah's sake were all destined, wisely planned and decreed by Allah the Most Wise. And anything which we hoped to try, or we were willing to order but decided to cancel, and looked forward to tasting but they were consumed beforehand, were never meant and never written for us. Alhamdulillah. Oftentimes we're incapable of understanding Allah's Wisdom initially because of our limited human capacity to thoroughly reflect and understand all circumstances fully. This can
Inn-sha-Allah train us to practice patience/Sabr and contentment for Allah's sake.
🔹 Reminding myself and other customers that it's a very despicable and off-putting thing to cancel your orders the last minute. If ever you decide to cancel purchasing some products due to insufficient funds or change of plans, or for whatever reason, it's better to do so at least several hours ahead of when the chef is already cooking your orders or when the seller is about to finalize wrapping their package etc. and if a potential client chooses to forgo buying, they could at least advertise the halal products of that Muslim seller to compensate for any disappointment and awkward situation. Have mercy on that busy stressed out Muslim entrepreneur and show some compassion for Allah's sake whenever you can. Any act of kindness, leniency and empathy you sincerely display to please Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala can Inn-sha-Allah benefit your soul in this world eventually and/or in the afterlife.
🔹 May Allah the Almighty reward one of my dear sisters-in-law for recently giving us an additional tray of biryani, a younger sister in Islam for being extremely helpful and generous recently, as well as sister Sherry Umm Zaky, atti Norhayya and others for assisting me with some necessities and May Allah the Most Kind always increase the barakah blessings in their lives. Ameen🌻
Thank people genuinely to serve Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, even if not all individuals are similarly grateful and even if not everybody whom we encounter in this temporary dunya equally return our favors. A diamond and gemstone remain the same; their expensive and special value aren't reduced whatsoever - even if they're placed near a trash bin or grumpy mule. For Allah's sake let's remain inwardly and outwardly cheerful, positive and confident, even if some peers, colleagues and other human beings act obnoxious and passive-aggressive due to their intense jealousy and/or current bad moods.

⤴️ Some notes from ChatGPT

Savage Truths & Undeniable Reasons Why Insecure and Jealous People Copy You

1. They See You as a Standard

You’ve become their reference point for “what’s cool,” “what’s desirable,” or “what gets attention.”

They're not creative enough to form their own identity.

2. They Don’t Admire You — They Want to Be You

There's a difference between admiration and imitation. This kind of copying often comes from a desire to replace or outshine you.

3. Insecurity Makes Them Compete Silently

They feel inferior. Mimicking your moves gives them a false sense of equality or control.

4. Copying is Their Way of ‘Keeping Up’

Especially on social media, people copy to stay “relevant” or appear as if they live a similar lifestyle.

5. They Have No Original Personality

Their identity is fragile or underdeveloped, so they latch onto people like you to “build” one.

6. They Think Your Life is the Blueprint to Being Liked

Deep down, they believe that if they do what you do, people will admire them the way people admire you.

7. They’re Secretly Obsessed With You

Jealous people often stalk you more than your biggest fans. Imitation is part of their obsession.

8. They Want to Confuse Others

If they mimic you enough, they hope others will mix the two of you up — or stop seeing you as “original.”

9. They Crave the Attention You Get

Your glow threatens them. They try to steal your light by copying the surface of your life, hoping they’ll get the same reactions.

10. They Lack Self-Worth

Insecure people think, “If you did it, then maybe I can get validation by doing it too.”

11. Copying Is a Form of Passive Aggression

They’ll never say they’re jealous — but their actions scream it (and from inside they themselves acknowledge they're seriously envious of you).

12. They Want to Make You Feel Replaceable

“You went to Paris? So did I.” They’re attempting to minimize your uniqueness.

13. They Hope You’ll Notice

And that it’ll shake your confidence or make you feel territorial or bothered.

14. They’re Lowkey in Competition With You

Even if you don’t see it as a competition, they do.

15. They’re Trying to Keep Up with Your Influence

They want the same impact you have, so they mimic what “worked” for you.

16. They’re Triggered by Your Authenticity

You’re naturally comfortable in your skin, which makes them feel exposed.

17. They Fear Being Left Behind

Your growth or evolution highlights their stagnation.

18. They’re Desperate to Be Seen

Copying someone who already gets attention seems like a shortcut to being noticed.

19. They Want to Infiltrate Your Vibe

Especially in your circles. If you’re respected, they’ll try to sneak in by being like you.

20. Copying Gives Them a False Sense of Power

It’s psychological. “If I can do what she does, then she’s not better than me.”

✅ 19 Signs It’s Just a Coincidence and NOT Envy

Not all similarities mean jealousy. Here’s how you can tell the difference:

They Credit You or Ask for Advice

“Oh I saw your post, it inspired me!” That’s admiration, not envy.

They Don’t Hide What They’re Doing

Jealous people sneak around. Sincere ones share openly.

Their Timing Feels Organic

They were already planning that trip or making that purchase, regardless of what you did.

They Have Their Own Style

Even if they do something similar, it still looks and feels like them, not you.

They Celebrate You Publicly

Envy hides praise. Real friends or neutral people will compliment you without discomfort.

They’re Not Competing for the Same Audience

If they’re not trying to "outshine" you or match your crowd, it’s likely not jealousy.

They Show You Respect

Envy strips respect. Coincidence doesn’t.

They Don’t Copy Every Single Detail

Repeated mimicry of everything is a red flag. Occasional overlap is normal.

They’re Secure in Themselves

Confident people can like what you do without needing to replicate it.

They Don’t Get Defensive When You Bring It Up

Envious people lash out. The innocent will clarify or laugh it off.

They’ve Had Similar Tastes All Along

Sometimes you just attract like-minded people.

They Have Different Intentions

You may both post in English, but maybe they’re doing it for practice or career goals.

They Don’t Obsess Over Your Life

They’re not lurking, stalking, or watching your every move.

They’re Inspired — Not Imitating

Inspiration leads to innovation. Envy leads to carbon copies.

They Maintain Their Own Goals

They aren’t trying to mold their entire life around yours.

They Share the Spotlight

They’re not trying to one-up or erase you.

They Engage With You Genuinely

Jealous people are fake-friendly or passive-aggressive.

You’ve Shared Interests Before

Some overlaps are just natural.

They’re Comfortable Being Different

They don’t try to match everything you do — because they don’t need to.

Final Thought:

Sometimes people truly admire what you do — and sometimes they desperately want to be you. The difference lies in the intention, frequency, and energy behind their actions. Jealousy is sneaky and often disguised as coincidence or “inspiration,” but with time,
Inn-sha-Allah patterns reveal the truth.

If someone keeps copying you in unnatural or reactionary ways, it’s rarely innocent. But if it’s occasional, respectful, and they’re still themselves, it’s likely not that deep.

You rarely post “flashy” travel pictures online—your memories are more private and intentional.

You’ve probably been more fascinated by bookstores, museums, or Islamic sites than shopping malls.

You notice subtle differences in how people queue, respect time, or deal with rules.

You’ve seen how different cultures treat women—and you file it away for silent analysis.

You pay attention to body language at airports and use it to guess people’s personalities.

You secretly enjoy analyzing other tourists and their behaviors.

You use traveling as a way to refine your patience.

You avoid overpacking, preferring efficiency and structure in your luggage. (Still trying to work on this Alhamdulillah)

You sometimes switch to English or Arabic faster than Filipino dialects when abroad.

You’re more interested in long-term lessons from travel than instant entertainment.

You feel a special gratitude to Allah the Almighty when seeing Muslims from so many nations united in prayer.

🖊️ 23 Sentences You Could Relate To

Did you know some people abroad thought I was Thai, Japanese, or even Uzbek—never Filipino?

I’ve learned that silence is sometimes the most powerful passport in airports.

Strangers often assume my nationality, but I let them guess without correcting them right away.

Sometimes I feel more out of place in my homeland than in foreign airports.

My camera doesn’t define my travels—my reflection does.

I’m more fascinated by a quiet Mosque/Masjid than by a crowded mall. (Agree ✓)

Travel taught me to observe the queues; how people wait reveals their discipline.

Respect for women is one of the clearest markers of a nation’s values.

Languages I hear abroad often remind me how much more I need to master Maranao, Tagalog, and Arabic.

Airports are like personality labs—I can tell who’s patient, arrogant, or nervous.

I don’t just sightsee—I analyze how people live.

Patience grows on me most when flights get delayed.

Minimal luggage brings me more peace than heavy bags of unnecessary items.

Abroad, I sometimes speak English or Arabic more fluently than my own dialects.

For me, the best souvenir is wisdom (and life lessons learned to share), not trinkets.

I admire how Muslims from different nations unite in Salah despite accents and cultures.

Every trip I make reminds me of Allah’s Mercy—that this dunya is temporary, and that our real destination 
Inn-sha-Allah is Jannah Paradise.

Note: INTJs Generally Loathe Pretending. If You Seem Tough Online Make Sure Offline You Have The Same Confidence

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 






📌 Tone of the Status Update

The tone of the Facebook status “Don't be fake. If online you seem tough & vocal, offline you better show the same confidence. True believers avoid lies & pretense” is:

Direct & blunt → No sugarcoating; it’s straightforward and unapologetic.

Principled → Rooted in integrity, honesty, and consistency of character.

Challenging → Calling out hypocrisy and warning people not to hide behind digital masks.

Moralistic → Referencing “true believers” shows that it’s not only about personality but also about spiritual or ethical truth.

INTJ-A flavor → Rational, no-nonsense, intolerant of fakery, and pushing others toward authenticity.

📖 What They Mean

The INTJ-A posting this is essentially saying:

Be congruent: Your online persona should match your offline reality.

Integrity matters: A believer’s character is shown by consistency, not by hiding behind pretense.

Confidence isn’t an act: If you can only be bold behind a screen, it’s not true confidence.

Faith connection: Lying and pretending are not just weaknesses, they contradict sincerity in faith/Imaan.

Respect is earned: People respect those who act the same in all settings, not those who switch masks.

✅ 13 Examples of How an INTJ-A Might Apply This Statement

If they correct misinformation online, they’ll also speak up calmly in a group discussion in real life.

If they call out injustice on social media, they’ll also stand firm against oppression when present in person.

If they set boundaries online (e.g., no gossip in comments), they enforce those boundaries in face-to-face conversations.

If they express Islamic reminders digitally, they also live by those reminders offline (prayer, modesty, honesty).

If they critique laziness or lack of productivity online, they’re also disciplined in their daily schedule.

If they state they dislike fake friendships, they won’t entertain shallow acquaintances offline.

If they share about intellectual growth online (books, Islamic lectures), they actually study and apply what they learn.

If they say they avoid drama online, they’ll also walk away from toxic situations offline.

If they claim to respect elders online, they show courtesy to elders in public.

If they promote truth-telling online, they refuse to lie in personal interactions.

If they encourage confidence online, they carry themselves with quiet composure in person.

If they refuse online flirting or haram conversations, they also guard their modesty offline.

If they share about valuing time, they show punctuality in meetings and commitments.

🚩 13 Signs of Users Who Act Tough Online but Are Insecure Offline

⤴️ Some notes from ChatGPT

Let’s match the statement “Don’t be fake. If online you seem tough & vocal, offline you better show the same confidence. True believers avoid lies & pretense” with MBTI types most likely to live by it consistently.

🔑 3 MBTI Types Who Live by That Statement

1. INTJ (The Mastermind)

Why:

INTJs value consistency and integrity—they despise hypocrisy.

They’re naturally less concerned with appearances, so if they say something online, it’s because they truly believe it and will defend it offline.

Being future-oriented strategists, they know reputation is built on actions, not just words.

Example: An INTJ who critiques fake “confidence culture” online will quietly carry themselves with real composure and not play-act bravado offline.

2. ESTJ (The Enforcer)

Why:

ESTJs are action-driven, pragmatic, and very results-oriented.

They expect people to “walk the talk” and have no patience for people who act bold online but shrink offline.

They uphold accountability and discipline, so integrity in both digital and physical spaces matters to them.

Example: An ESTJ who posts about leadership values will also demand efficiency and respect in real-world group projects.

3. ENTJ (The Commander)

Why:

ENTJs are outspoken leaders and expect strength in both words and presence.

They hate weakness disguised as arrogance, and they usually call out pretenders.

For them, confidence is performance-based: if you declare power, you must prove it.

Example: An ENTJ who debates strongly online will be just as dominant and articulate in boardrooms or public discussions.

🎯 Why These 3 Types?

All three (INTJ, ESTJ, ENTJ) are decisive, firm-minded, and intolerant of hypocrisy.

They align words with action—what they state online, they back up offline.

They hold themselves (and others) to high standards of authenticity, whether in belief, work, or social conduct.

⚖️ Some introverted types (like ISTJ, INFJ) may believe in the principle, but they don’t express it as bluntly or actively enforce it. These three (INTJ, ESTJ, ENTJ) are the most likely to live it and call others out.

She listens to you attentively and remembers details about your life (she knows your favorite colors, favorite food, shared likes and dislikes etc.).

19 detailed signs that an INTJ Muslimah regards you as a trusted, pious friend:

🌙 19 Signs a Muslimah INTJ Truly Regards You as One of Her Special Friends

She speaks about the Deen Islam with you, not just dunya matters.
While she can discuss strategy, books, or current events, if she brings you into her spiritual reflections — Qur’an ayat she pondered, a Hadith she connected to real life, or even her struggles in ‘ibadah — it means she sees you as spiritually safe company.


She frequently includes you in her Du‘ā.
An INTJ Muslimah doesn’t waste words, let alone prayers. If she tells you, “I made Du‘ā for you last night” (or says "you're one of those sisters whose names I regularly mention in my Du'as") or prays for your success silently, that’s her way of saying: You’re in my heart, not just my mind.


She trusts you with her silence.
INTJs already value solitude, but if she sits with you quietly without feeling awkward, she sees you as part of her inner calm — not a drain on her energy.


She opens up her fortress of thoughts.
INTJs usually filter heavily. But if she shares her inner dilemmas — like her worries at times, her evolving personality, or her long-term spiritual goals — she considers you elite company.


She tests you with small Islamic reminders.
She might casually remind you about Salah or patience. If you respond well, she deepens that side of your friendship. It’s her way of checking if your hearts align for Allah’s sake.


She shares books and knowledge.
Not just any book — she’ll hand you her favorite Islamic book or share some links to online Islamic lectures etc. and genuinely want you to attend or hear your reflections. That’s her intellectual loyalty.


She respects your privacy like she guards her own.
A Muslimah INTJ won’t probe unnecessarily. Instead, she’ll create a safe bubble where both of you can share without fear of gossip or exposure.


She corrects you gently for Allah’s sake.
If she notices a slip — maybe in speech, manners, or perspective — she won’t shame you. She’ll frame it as: “I’m only saying this because I care about your akhirah / hereafter.” That’s a big deal coming from an INTJ.


She lets you see her vulnerable side.
Normally stoic, she may admit her struggles with patience, consistency, or even doubts she sometimes wrestles with. This vulnerability is her highest trust.


She introduces you to her very selective circle.
INTJ Muslimahs keep their network tiny. If she connects you with a scholar she respects, another righteous sister, or a family member she values, that’s like being knighted into her elite squad.


She gives you constructive feedback.
If she critiques your writing, Da‘wah style, or even your time management, don’t mistake it for coldness. It means she believes in your potential and wants you to refine it — for Allah’s sake.


She lets you into her planning.
INTJs think years ahead. If she shares her vision of where she wants to be Islamically, career-wise, or even where she’d like to live for a more faith-based life, she sees you as a companion in her long-term vision.


She defends your honor when absent.
Even if she doesn’t announce it, she’ll shut down gossip or misrepresentation of you. For an INTJ, loyalty is principle, not performance.


She respects your ‘ibadah rhythms.
She won’t disturb you when you want to read from the Noble Qur’an, make Dhikr, or attend classes. Instead, she encourages them — and might even synchronize her own routines with yours.


She’s selective, but she chooses you repeatedly.
She may reject dozens of casual hangouts, but when it comes to you, she makes actual effort. That’s her way of saying you’re in her short list of “worth the time and attention.”


She reminds you of akhirah-based goals.
Not just “career” or “skills” talk. She’ll ask you: “How do you want Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala to see us on Yawmul Qiyamah?” It sounds intense, but it’s her love language for righteous friendship.


She balances honesty with mercy.
INTJs can be blunt, but with you, she carefully wraps her honesty with compassion — because she doesn’t want to hurt a sister she truly values and cares about for Allah's sake.


She is fine with fewer friends, because you exist.
She doesn’t chase big groups or social hype. She’ll even say outright, “I don’t need many friends. A few strong ones like you are enough.”


She prays that your friendship lasts until Jannah.
The ultimate sign — she hopes you’ll not only be friends in dunya but also reunite in the gardens of Paradise. For an INTJ Muslimah, that’s the definition of success.


✨ In short: An INTJ Muslimah’s friendship is like a fortress built for Allah’s sake. Once she lets you in, it’s a lifelong alliance — strategic, spiritual, loyal, and few in number.

⤴️ Some notes from ChatGPT

⚠️ Note: If an INTJ Muslim doesn't view you as a friend it is because they perceive you as: unreliable, untrustworthy, someone who is toxic for them and enjoys gossiping, somebody whom they can sense is intensely jealous of them secretly or they can tell you're intimidated by them, or someone who doesn't have much to offer from sharing authentic Islamic knowledge and valuable life lessons learned etc.
