Tips: Advice On How To Detect Actual Haters

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

📋 While some individuals don't talk to you a lot because they're either frequently busy or you haven't connected well yet, others are actual haters even if they pose as "approachable potential friends" and they're regularly accessible. 
Seven signs that a person actually abhors you, due to intense jealousy or an unresolved conflict, so asking them for any advice and entrusting them with personal information should be avoided as much as possible: 
1] On a regular basis, they don't answer your salaams online and face to face, despite knowing the importance of returning a Muslim's salaam. 
2] While trying to communicate online and offline, you notice an ugly pattern in them repeatedly mispronouncing your name or spelling it incorrectly yet they're capable of saying others' names without a single error. 
3] Numerous times they conducted social outings or gatherings to which you weren't invited, and ironically they'd later question why you weren't there. 
4] Very rarely do they ask about your family yet they seem to expect you to inquire about how they and their loved ones are doing. 
5] They're incapable of laughing whenever you try to share some comical remarks yet when you make a mistake and somebody publicly scolds you, they laugh at the situation easily. 
6] The way they often look at you can be described as an obvious scowl and whenever you attempt to actively participate in a meeting or group discussion it appears as though they're rolling their eyes with annoyance, telling themselves something like "not again... attention-seeking". 
7] It's so typical of them to view your chat or text messages without responding to you and you're not surprised when they leave your recent message on seen mode because that's what they recurrently do. If an individual fails to communicate with you in a decent manner, they could be depressed and their self-hatred provokes them to act obnoxiously or they treat you disrespectfully since they're guilty of despicable envy.

📖 Ibn 'Abbas RadhiAllahu 'anhuma narrated: I was riding behind the Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam when he said to me, "Young man, I will teach you some words. Be mindful of Allah and He will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find Him before you. If you ask, ask from Allah. If you seek help, seek help from Allah. Know that if the nations were to gather together to benefit you, they will not benefit you unless Allah has decreed it for you. And if the nations gathered together to harm you, they will not harm you unless Allah has decreed it for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried."

Note: Eleven Questions To Ask Yourself To Feel More Certain That You Married A Good Man

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

📑 Eleven questions to ask yourself to feel more certain that you've indeed married your soulmate for Allah's sake: 
1] When you look back on the first actual conversations with your husband, can you wholeheartedly smile as you recall his cute efforts to be romantic or flirtatious with you? 
2] Can you mention at least three instances when he has been helpful, kind and compassionate to you? 
3] Do you miss his comforting hugs and loving presence whenever he is absent? 
4] If you had the option to choose between staying over at a resort with some close friends for one week and moving to the city where your husband is employed, would you select the latter as long as you're granted consent to visit your family whenever you like? 
5] If you're incapable of completely satisfying your husband, can you be strong enough to stay married while he loves another woman as his legal second wife, because you'd rather keep loving him faithfully while you're in a polygynous marriage than have him disappear from your life? 
6] Whenever his responses to your calls and messages are delayed, are you able to understand his side and still forgive him for Allah's sake with astounding patience? 
7] Whenever you encounter or notice supposedly happy couples, instead of feeling jealous, do you instantly thank Allah the Almighty for bestowing upon you the unique love story which He Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala destined for you and your husband? 
8] Does loving your husband sincerely for Allah's sake beautifully inspire you to become a better, wiser, more mature, more patient and understanding Muslimah? 
9] Do you love it whenever your husband leads you in prayer and every time you hear an Imam reciting some verses from the Noble Qur'an you're usually reminded of your husband's amazingly soothing voice? Or if ever your husband asked for divorce, can you imagine rejecting all marriage proposals from interested suitors while patiently waiting for another wedding from your ex-husband, aware that divorcees in Islam can remarry twice?
10] Although you can't always meet your husband or go on halal dates with him, are you capable of staying fiercely loyal to him, avoiding "emotional affairs" and anything which could lead to fitna, even when he hasn't been around for a long time? 
11] Is it true that you've cried or shed tears many times while mentioning your husband's name in heartfelt Du'as, praying that Allah the Most Merciful protects him, guides him and enables him to pass Allah's tests so you can both succeed, with Allah's Will, in making it to Jannah Paradise? 
Allah the Almighty knows best. If you've answered "yes" to at least seven of the above questions, then it's likely true that your husband is your soulmate whom you should never quit on. Don't let the shaytan who envies your joy feel smug about his attempts to disrupt your obvious blessing.

This rhetorical point conveys the obligation of the wife to obey her husband in his rights. Indeed, prostration is not lawful to anyone other than Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala."

Note: 5 Traits Of Emotionally Draining Individuals And Some Energy Boosters

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

📑 Five qualities of emotionally draining individuals - if you recognize at least two of these in an individual, it is better to avoid them for Allah's sake or minimize unnecessary conversations, as much as possible, to protect your emotional well-being: 
1] They claim to despise gossip yet they indulge in backbiting frequently. 
2] They whine to you a lot, as though they expect you to miraculously solve their problems almost every time they irrationally complain about something or somebody. Ironically when it's your turn to ask for advice, they act uninterested or tell you that they don't know what to say. 
3] They go silent or become obnoxiously distant upon noticing you expressing any form of joy or gratitude, yet when you make a mistake they're quick to criticize and point out your errors in detail. 
4] Due to their gigantic load of insecurities and intense envy of you, they regularly one-up you or narrate random stories to suggest that they're a lot "better", more "successful" or more "experienced" than you. 
5] It is clear that they're not supportive of your goals and interests, which is why most if not all of your talks with them are awfully awkward, boring or unproductive. 
✅ When dealing with acquaintances, neighbors or colleagues who are emotionally draining: 
1] Unapologetically unfollow them on social media and quit reading the content they upload if you believe that doing so can strengthen your faith Imaan and keep you away from negative emotions (such as unwarranted jealousy, confusion, uncertainty etc.). 
2] Don't force yourself to continue chatting with them if there are other more important, meaningful and rewarding tasks to do than pretending to like someone who is too toxic for you. 
3] Intentionally refrain from asking them questions about their personal lives, so you don't need to tolerate their invented lies nor should you pay attention to those with bad intentions in attempting to connect with you. 
✨ Seven energy boosters: 
1] Reciting from the Noble Qur'an with a melodious voice and reflecting on Allah's Magnificent Words. 
2] Resting for some minutes or looking at Allah's beautiful creations in nature while saying some Du'a and Adhkaar (including lots of Istighfaar).
3] Reading some beneficial Islamic books and articles which are useful for self-development. 
4] Watching motivational videos or listening to some recorded Islamic lectures. 
5] Memorizing or familiarizing yourself with some authentic Ahadith (narrations and statements of the beloved Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam). 
6] Spending some moments with a pet or showing kindness to furry animals when you're not busy. 
7] Visiting some family members and relatives for Allah's sake when you have the opportunity.

Rather say: "Allah has decreed what He wills." Verily, the phrase 'if only' opens the way for the work of shaytan."
