Poem: Seven Signs That Indicate Jealousy In Friends Or Acquaintances

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

💌 Seven warning signs or red flags your "friend" is jealous, 

Things to watch out for to spot someone who's envious, 

So you can take a step back, ensure you're protected 

From confiding in disguised foes who conceal hatred 

And who'd celebrate if your image is demolished:

~•~

One: With tips and compliments they're absurdly selfish. 

Seeing you in a good mood makes them feel discouraged. 

Two: They expect you to support their works and projects 

Yet when it comes to your goals, they're so unsupportive. 

Attempts to connect with them prove the bond's one-sided.

~•~

Three: When talking to them, the usual discussed topics 

Involve their dear selves, their problems, plans and tasks they did. 

When it's your turn to speak, they'd ditch you or go quiet. 

Four: They joke at your expense, laugh when you're embarrassed, 

And seldom defend you when you're hurt or insulted.

~•~

Five: To inflate their ego or sense they're accomplished, 

They copy your style not so rapport is established 

But to steal your joys through being too competitive. 

Six: They sulk when by others you're congratulated. 

Not once you got from them "Congrats!", "Mabrook!", "You've made it!"

~•~

Seven: Your kind heart, gifts or skills they can't acknowledge, 

Yet when it comes to your mistakes, mishaps and defects,

They're excited to diss, throw shade, or micromanage. 

Be patient with their jealousy - self-imposed distress.

Shun souls consumed by envy to save them from unrest.

~•~

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Do not envy each other, do not outbid each other, do not hate each other, do not turn away from each other, and do not outsell each other. Rather, be servants of Allah as brothers. The Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. He does not wrong him, nor humiliate him, nor look down upon him. Righteousness is here," and he pointed to his chest three times. The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "It is enough evil for a man to look down upon his Muslim brother. The entirety of the Muslim is sacred to another Muslim: his life, his wealth, and his reputation."

Poem: Three Reasons Why We Cannot Click With Certain People (On Incompatibility)

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

💌 Three likely reasons why we can't vibe with certain souls, 

Why convos with some people seem fishy, fake, and forced, 

And why though their figures and names are loads of times shown, 

It's hard to like them, we're glad if they leave us alone, 

And we're aware our feelings can't always be controlled:

~•~

First reason: We're different. There's conflict in our goals. 

If we choose to go upwards, they take the downward slope, 

If their vibes conceal dark lies, while ours shine bright like gold, 

If we strive for Jannah's joys, as they're glued to this world, 

In later becoming close friends there's no chance at all.

~•~

Second: They're a threat, or vice versa. There's no comfort 

In their company. No good can be gained from their words. 

Their love for gossip or drama just makes matters worse. 

One envies the other, or there's envy in you both, 

And the more you interact, grudge and doubts only grow. 

~•~

Third: Your disaccord was destined since long time ago. 

Allah the Most Wise didn't decree you'd get along. 

Regardless of disharmony, bad manners don't show. 

Treat them politely. From their unpleasantries move on. 

Aim for Allah's Love, not to be liked by every soul.

~•~

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The souls are like conscripted soldiers. They come together upon what they recognize, and they differ upon what they reject."

Poem: Ways To React To People's Rudeness And Disrespect

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

💌 Five ways to deal with people's rudeness and disrespect - 

How to cope with species whose morals are pathetic, 

Who mistreat you when their expectations aren't met, 

Who act passive-aggressive when they're hurt or upset, 

Or lack of ethics is their way to feel safeguarded: 

~•~

One: Know that there are others who've been disrespected, 

Like Allah's Prophets, including Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) 

Who often encountered harms from the polytheists 

And hypocrites who want Muslims to be defeated. 

When people's goals and traits clash, conflict is expected.

~•~

Two: People's hatred may be from Allah's myriad tests, 

To train patience, and for Sabr you'll be rewarded. 

Three: Learn from them. Their misdeeds are to be avoided. 

Don't bother copying their foul characteristics. 

Be glad you're not the one morally poor and distressed.

~•~

Four: Sympathize. Maybe they seem rude as they're jealous, 

Stressed, or about basic manners uneducated. 

Five: Reject the urge to duplicate their low tactics. 

While they're mean and gossipy, you stay kind. Don't gossip.

Don't be an insecure troll who's full of bitterness.

~•~

Respecting all doesn't require spoiling them with gifts 

Or attention, but it's to ensure they're not oppressed. 

Strive to treat others the way you'd want to be treated.

If you can't practice kindness, then at least don't oppress, 

As a Muslim, not one of those badly brought up kids.

~•~

Poem: Allah The Most Wise Already Decreed Your Sustenance, Rizq And Provisions

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

💌 Know that, as a Muslim, everything has been decreed - 

How much income you'd receive, how much you'd drink and eat, 

What you can afford, what you'd consume, who you would feed, 

What gifts you'd give and to whom, and what you'd take freely - 

Your rizq is written, and part of Qadr/destiny.

~•~

Those dishes you enjoyed at gatherings and parties, 

Meals you ate which were cooked by loved ones generously, 

Food you fully finished despite not being tasty,

And snacks given by some friends, even reluctantly - 

Were all decreed by Allah, and part of destiny. 

~•~

Canned foods you bought for yourself but then you so kindly 

Used them to grant sustenance to stray cats in the streets, 

Edibles you've dropped because you slipped or were clumsy, 

And meals you aspired to devour but couldn't complete - 

Were all planned by Allah. Accept Qadr/destiny. 

~•~

Huge amount of food savored by those who seem greedy, 

Takeouts taken by visitors in large quantities, 

Neighbors or passersby who picked fruits from trees for free, 

And servings of your meal which you shared begrudgingly - 

Were all meant for them. Allah designed their destiny.

~•~

Next time you go through moments when "fairness" seems unclear, 

When you wonder, "I just got few. And them? Too many!" 

Or wish, "If only everyone on earth were wealthy", 

Recall, Allah distributed His blessings fairly. 

Increase Du'as to hopefully improve destiny.

~•~

📖 Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: The Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam, narrated to us for he is the truthful and the trusted, "Verily, the creation of each one of you is brought together in his mother’s womb for forty days as a drop, then he is a clot for a similar period, then a morsel for a similar period, then there is sent to him the angel who blows the spirit into him and he is commanded regarding four matters: To write down his provision (rizq), his life span, his deeds, and whether he is unhappy or happy. By Allah, other than whom there is no God, one of you acts like the people of Paradise until he is but an arm’s length from it, and what is written overtakes him so he acts like the people of Hellfire and he enters it. Verily, one of you acts like the people of Hellfire until he is but an arm’s length from it, and what is written overtakes him so he acts like the people of Paradise and he enters it."
