Poem: Three Instances When It's Wiser To Ignore Someone

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

💌 Three instances when it's wiser to ignore someone, 

Since granting them attention disturbs your well-being, 

Their toxic friendship isn't worthy of maintaining, 

Or their huge pride prevents them from even listening:

~•~

One: They misbehave on purpose for your reaction. 

If some mess around to see you feeling unpleasant, 

Like cowardly rant online on how you're "arrogant", 

Ignore them for Allah. Don't give sad clowns what they want.

~•~

Two: When the insecure try to make you envy them, 

And seeing you get jealous is their main intention, 

Avert your gaze and reflect on things more important. 

Don't stare at things that make you forget Allah's blessings.

~•~

Three: Toxic people obsessed with childish gossiping,

Who enjoy gaining Muslims' sins are worth ignoring.

No need to analyze their nonsensical statements. 

Their lies imply they're jelly of those they're discussing.

~•~

There's peace in shunning the morally incompetent, 

Whose presence can't help you in faith and self-improvement.

Avoid them for Allah and move on with contentment.

Let the bashers and trolls talk to their own ignorance.

~•~

Poem: Ways To Describe Most INTJ Personality Types

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

💌 Some things most INTJs may find relatable, 

Not to brag but shed light so we're understandable:

We prefer to be fair and true than agreeable. 

Our confidence is misconstrued as being "prideful" 

When we're focused on goals or trying to be helpful.

~•~

Since we trust Allah the Almighty, not most people, 

Others' words and opinions aren't always factual. 

While we're stereotypically thick-skinned and logical,

People's vibes we can sense and strong emotions we feel, 

Which is why when it comes to choosing friends we're careful.

~•~

We're dreamers and planners yet we know Allah controls 

And has power over all in this temporal world.

As Allah's servants aware He's the Most Powerful,

Muslim INTJs find "arrogant" quite hurtful. 

We're offended by injustice and thoughts untruthful.

~•~

Our eagerness to complete tasks that are feasible,

Passion to fulfill duties which to us are worthwhile, 

And disinterest in dialogues that are futile 

Could be reasons why most can't regard us as "humble".

Still we're unfazed by critics' slurs and disapproval.

~•~

Our soft side is reserved for the few we deem special.

Towards them we're lenient, empathetic and gentle, 

Supportive, patient with their flaws and fiercely loyal. 

Other traits which for INTJs are suitable: 

Teachable, determined and selectively social.

~•~

Alhamdulillah.

Tips: Ways To Detect Jealous People Despite Their Denial Of Their Jealousy

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

💌 It's usually easy to tell who from your acquaintances is genuinely happy for your achievements, and who among them may secretly harbour intense jealousy, even though they may fake a forced smile when interacting with you personally.

🔍 Subtle signs of envious individuals:

• You're friends on social media but they seldom react to your posts, although ironically they're one of the silent lurkers who make sure they read every one of your status updates. 

• You're not friends on facebook but they stalk your status updates so enthusiastically, while reading the information you share with furious resentment, wondering why you get to enjoy life or utilize your talents when they're unaware of your hard work, sincere intention or circumstances offline.

• They assume almost everything you do are meant for seeking attention. You post a status update about how an Islamic event went well to inspire others to do Da'wah? You're "showing off." You share some Ahadith or Islamic quotes that can motivate other Muslims and Muslimahs? You're "just acting smart". You post a descriptive review of how your dining experience was at a halal restaurant to promote it, so Muslim communities could support one another? "Riyaa". You walk, you speak, you breathe, inhale and exhale... "you're showing off." People who are "jelly" literally want you to shut up because your contributions, efforts to assist others or good qualities remind them of their lacking, thereby feeling guilty or angrily jealous inside.

Real comrades and supporters on the other hand are grateful to Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala for the different blessings He bestowed upon them. Because they're content with what they already have and they're confident, they don't question Allah the Almighty why He granted you certain skills (whether you're good at calligraphy, delivering Islamic lectures, poetry, spoken word, coaching, advising, parenting, cooking, managing a business etc.) nor do they feel threatened by the unique opportunities that Allah gave you.

As Muslims Alhamdulillah we must accept Allah's Qadr/Destiny patiently, being pleased with what He has given to us and avoid complaining about what He chose to offer His servants.

Allah the Most Wise gave us unique traits and skills, so we can learn from each other. If there's anyone worthy of competing against, it's the reflection we see in the mirror. Sincerely strive to be better than who you were before, and appreciate every gift that Allah is testing you with, without envying the examinations of others.

Then, the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said to me:

"Young man, that is my Sunnah. Whoever revives my Sunnah has loved me, and whoever loves me will be with me in Paradise."

Poem: Trust Allah, Strive For Him And Believe That Allah Controls Everything

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

💌 No matter how much effort you put in achieving 

Something, like organizing an event or meeting, 

Marrying someone, finding a decent profession,

Accomplishing tasks or transactions, or networking,

Never can it occur if it was never destined.

~•~

Allah, our Creator, is the One to determine 

What we receive, what we go through, and what He prevents, 

Who from His servants are meant to meet us and befriend, 

And who from His slaves are chosen to test our patience. 

Trust Allah and know our Qadr is controlled by Him.

~•~

When your plans don't work out as you liked or imagined, 

When told "no, it can't be done" or "next time, try again", 

Or chances are too slim for a project to happen, 

Be glad at least you tried to fulfill undertakings,

While you gained Allah's Love for your patient contentment.

~•~

Believe there's no "sayang", "all our attempts meant nothing", 

And "what a waste" if your faith is strong as a Muslim.

Hope for rewards from Allah for sincere good actions, 

Sins falling off with each stress, ache and disappointment, 

And being tested by Allah means you're loved by Him.

~•~

Alhamdulillah for Allah's Mercy and Guidance. 

Despite outcomes, we're rewarded for our intentions.

When eager to fulfill dreams or achieve anything, 

Have full trust in Allah, strive, accept what He destines.

If you fail, at least win Jannah for staying patient.

~•~

A man is put to trial according to his Deen/religion. If he is firm in his religion, his trials will be more severe.

Poem: Confession On The Few Good Souls Whom I Love For Allah's Sake

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

💌 Dear Allah, O' Most Merciful One I must confess,

Tell You of three groups I like, who strive to pass Your tests.

I admire them from a distance and wish to join them -

No jealousy do I hold but pure admiration.

~•~

First group I love for Allah's sake consists of Muslims

Who enjoy praying on time and doing ablution,

Finding peace in constant Dhikr and supplications,

In their worship of Allah they're in competition.

~•~

Second team I admire are those with noble manners,

Good vibes radiate from their beautiful character,

Cheerful, understanding, most of the time found smiling,

Patient, courageous, honest, truthful and forgiving.

~•~

Third squad I secretly wish to be like are givers,

Loyal volunteers and generous contributors,

From their wealth they do charity and help the needy,

Giving without expecting thanks so generously.

~•~

I have a huge platonic crush on those with all three,

Muslims with Taqwa, who in righteous actions compete,

Blessed to have excellent morals with inner beauty,

Active in doing Da'wah and charitable deeds.

~•~

I love these Muslims for Your sake O' Allah Most High,

So please take me with them into Jannah Paradise.

List my name beside those who are destined to see You

Smiling back at us for the good deeds we used to do.

~•~

May Allah the Almighty team us with those He loves,

Guide us to support those decreed to meet Him above,

Make us the type of allies He ordered us to be,

A blessing to all Muslim communities. Ameen.

~•~
