Tips: Some Advice On How To Behave Around Those Who Feel Resentful Towards You

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

🗒️ Some tips on how you can behave in the presence of somebody who clearly doesn't like you and it's obvious that they don't have any interest in trying to get to know you better, whether they're a colleague and you're attending a meeting, they're a schoolmate and you're in the cafeteria, or they're a relative or casual acquaintance and you're both guests at the same wedding:
1] Patiently accept the fact that Allah the Almighty didn't destine you two to get along harmoniously. You can't force individuals to connect if Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala doesn't want such connection to take place. 
2] Maintain good manners and etiquettes, as much as possible, with every soul whom Allah the Most Wise decrees you'd meet. Disliking a person for some of their attributes or actions which you disagree with shouldn't provoke you to act like an oppressive tyrant. 
3] You have every right to decide not to sit near individuals whom you know despise you, especially if you're uncomfortable with their vibes and/or you don't wish to overhear irrelevant conversations. If in some cases you must be seated beside someone who despises you as much as you loathe them, do whatever you can to avoid unwelcome physical contact and refrain from looking at them whenever they speak to others, to signal you're uninterested in what they have to say and you don't desire any drama. 
4] During breaks or intermissions, converse with somebody whom you genuinely care about for Allah's sake, read some beneficial writings or do some productive tasks on your cellphone or laptop, or temporarily leave the area where the individuals who can't stand you are, then return when the necessary activities resume. Don't oblige yourself to act concerned or curious about some people if begrudgingly chatting with them is more disadvantageous than uplifting. 
5] Avoiding pointless interactions with individuals who hold a grudge against you is almost similar to intentionally staying away from touching objects at a store which aren't useful for you. Don't feel apologetic or guilty about your indifference towards them, specifically if most of their goals and values contradict yours. 
While we can't control how Allah's servants view us or feel about us, we have the freewill to choose how to respond to their feelings and perceptions. Every action we humans do on purpose has its consequences, and Allah's Justice always prevails if not in this fleeting world then on the Day of Judgment. 
Incompatibility mustn't cause us to commit sins such as deceiving, backbiting, stealing, denying people what is rightfully theirs, and oppressing.

Note: Sharing Five Qualities Which I Admire In Other Muslims

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 
📜 Question: List five qualities which you admire in other Muslims or cite at least five characteristics that would make someone more admirable or likable in your opinion, as an INTJ personality type? 
📝 Answer: 1] Authenticity: They strive to be honest, authentic and truthful, so they're not actors "fake people" frequently pretending to be whom they aren't. 
2] Ambitiousness or dedication: They are driven, dedicated and sincerely enthusiastic about pleasing Only Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala while eager to succeed in both worlds. 
3] Cooperativeness: They're willing to assist and support you for Allah's sake in doing what they believe can bring you all closer to Allah's Love and a beautiful entry to Jannatul Ferdaus, without being susceptible to feeling insecure and envious at all. 
4] Outstanding patience: They are blessed by Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala with the ability to stay patient with you, your quirkiness and people in general, including one's co-wives or co-wife if they're in a polygynous marriage. 
5] Generosity - with good intention to please Only Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala. Not putting on an act with ulterior motives: Without neglecting their own needs and sacrificing their values, they try their best to do charity and Da'wah for Allah's sake often, while they genuinely don't expect others to return their favors.

📖 Al-Nu’man Ibn Bashir RadhiAllahu anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, the lawful (halal) is clear and the unlawful (haraam) is clear, and between the two of them are doubtful matters about which many people do not know. Thus, he who avoids the doubtful matters safeguards himself in regard to his religion and his honor, and he who falls into the doubtful (questionable, unclear) matters will fall into the unlawful as the shepherd who pastures near a sanctuary, all but grazing therein. Verily, every king has a sanctum and the sanctum of Allah is His prohibitions. Verily, in the body is a piece of flesh which, if sound, the entire body is sound, and if it is corrupt, the entire body is corrupt. Truly, it is the heart."

The Qaari' and learned Muslim or knowledgeable scholar with insincere intention.

The one who spent their wealth generously in sadaqa charity etc. but they were generous only with insincere intention and bad motives. 

The one who strove and fought in Allah's Cause but they had insincere intention.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, the first people to be judged on the Day of Resurrection will be a man who was martyred. He will be brought, the blessings of Allah will be made known and he will acknowledge them. Allah will say: 'What did you do about them?' The man will say: 'I fought in Your Cause until I was martyred.' Allah will say: 'You have lied, for you fought only that it would be said you were brave, and thus it was said.' Then, Allah will order him to be dragged upon his face until he is cast into Hellfire. Another man studied religious knowledge, taught others, and recited the Qur'an. He will be brought, the blessings of Allah will be made known and he will acknowledge them. Allah will say: 'What did you do about them?' The man will say: I learned religious knowledge, taught others, and I recited the Qur'an for Your sake. Allah will say: 'You have lied, for you studied only that it would be said you are a scholar and you recited the Qur'an only that it would be said you are a reciter, and thus it was said.' Then, Allah will order him to be dragged upon his face until he is cast into Hellfire. Another man was given an abundance of blessings from Allah and every kind of wealth. He will be brought, the blessings of Allah will be made known and he will acknowledge them. Allah will say: 'What did you do about them?' The man will say: 'I did not leave any good cause beloved to You but that I spent on it for Your sake.' Allah will say: 'You have lied, for you spent only that it would be said you are generous, and thus it was said.' Then, Allah will order him to be dragged upon his face until he is cast into Hellfire."

If he intends to do it and does so, Allah the Almighty will record it as ten good deeds, up to seven hundred times as much or even more. If he intends to do an evil deed and does not do it, Allah will record for him one complete good deed. If he does it, Allah will record for him a single evil deed."

Poem: Valentine's Day Is Something I Do Not Celebrate

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
🗒️ "What do you do to prove your love on valentine's day? 
On Feb. fourteen of each year, how is your love displayed? 
How would you treat your soulmate who's been out for some days?"
If I were asked those questions I'd confidently state: 
Valentine's day is a joke which I don't celebrate.
~•~
Valentine's day? What's that? A time when clowns fornicate,
Take pride in acting romantic and lies are displayed, 
Since their so-called love is not lawful in any way? 
When pink, white and red become widespread, while heart-shaped cakes 
Are in demand as if it's the red demon's birthday? 
~•~
When different couples walk hand in hand, straight or gay, 
Crowding most malls, parks, resorts, cinemas and cafes, 
As if praising zina is the theme of their parade? 
I'd rather stay in, if I can, on valentine's day, 
And abstain from witnessing falsehood which Allah hates.
~•~
Mistakes and ignorance I don't wish to imitate. 
Whenever I despise something, I gladly don't pay 
Attention to it. To me, so-called valentine's day 
Is like a dry twig of a tree that's been painted gray 
And placed among large elephants, vague from far away. 
~•~
I don't need to spoil my spouse on this regular day 
Nor surprise him with pricey gifts and a special date. 
From the ways I indicate true love is when his name 
Is mentioned a lot in loving Du'as night and day, 
And I ensure my love is purely for Allah's sake.
~•~

Poem: Why I'm Fully Contented With Not Spying On My Husband's Cellphones

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

💌 If I were told, "That's weird, why won't you regularly 
Check on your husband's phones to ensure he never cheats? 
The more handsome he is, charismatic or wealthy, 
The smarter or more successful he is seemingly, 
The more likely he'll attract females who are flirty.
~•~
It's your right to spy on his cellphones. Don't be naive!" 
My response would be: So you're saying he's like candy? 
He is my one and only sweet, he belongs to me, 
Nobody can flirt with him, whoso audaciously
Attempts to contact him should earn my consent firstly? 
~•~
Do you suggest that I treat him like he's a fluffy 
Pet on a tight leash and I prevent him from freely
Moving about? Like he's meant to be enslaved by me? 
Do you expect my spouse to feel respected if he 
Sees that I suspect him and deem him untrustworthy?
~•~
Do you suppose he'll enjoy it if I constantly
Checked what he's up to on his phones like he's a baby 
Who should avoid vids which are not family-friendly?
I doubt it. My life goal isn't to make sure that he 
Never falls into strange women's traps and treachery. 
~•~
He's my husband, my other half and travel buddy 
To Jannah Paradise. He is not my enemy 
Whose moves I must scrutinize and spy on frequently. 
He's my friend. I pray that Allah guides my spouse to be 
Trustworthy and eager to improve in piety.
~•~
If ever he's guilty of misconduct, I believe
That my husband is smart enough to reform while he 
Is a human being like me, and he is worthy 
Of my ability to forgive him eagerly. 
shaytan mustn't succeed in spoiling this blessed journey.
~•~
I won't disrespect my husband's need for privacy. 
Even if he grants me full permissibility
To use his gadgets, I'd find it unnecessary
To inspect their contents since doing so would mostly
Invite drama and fitna which I don't want near me.
~•~
Alhamdulillah. I'm okay with polygyny. 
I'd rather continue loving my spouse patiently
While he cares for many wives and a big family 
Than leave him for another guy who can't guarantee
That he'll never get tempted by shaytan's trickery.
