Tips: How We Should Treat shaytan And his demonic allies

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

📝 Suggested ways to treat our archenemy shaytan and his demonic allies, including those who act as obstacles to our goals: 

1] Occasionally educate yourself about them for Allah's sake through reliable sources. Understand well their motives. Be aware of all their tactics and schemes. 

2] Refuse to be influenced by them in any way. Do not instantly believe or take too seriously most of what they do and claim. 

3] Do not wish to be like them. Do not imitate their negative and unpleasant traits. They don't deserve to be admired. You're a lot better than them because of your faith Imaan and special connection with Allah the Almighty. 

4] Do the exact opposite of what they want or expect you to do. Disobey their instructions if their orders entail disobedience to our Creator Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala. Stubbornly ignore enemies' commands and suggestions to carry out anything that is evidently immoral or unreasonable.

5] Avoid their bad presence as much as you can online and offline. Do not pay attention to any of their social media posts, comments and videos etc. especially if your attentiveness to their nonsense only inflates their contemptible egos. Refrain from befriending them without being naive of their foul intentions.

6] As much as possible resist the urge to compliment them. Do not display signs of granting approval to their actions unless giving them some flattering words is your technique of deluding or confusing them. 

7] Never trust them. Sworn enemies and potential foes must never be trusted.

8] Warn your loved ones against opponents whenever you can. 

9] Increase your Du'as to Allah the Most Powerful, asking Him Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala for more guidance and protection from shaytan's evil plots.

Note: How Most INTJs Deal With Gossipers Who Act Friendly - Grant Them Avoidance And Indifference

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

🗒️ Question: As a Muslimah whose MBTI personality type is INTJ, one of the most unemotional types, how would you treat individuals who generally act friendly towards you while you recall those instances when you overheard them cowardly gossiping about you?

📝 Answer: Whether the unpleasant statements which they mentioned about me carry some truth, for example "she's so annoying; always expressing her opinions", "you're right, she does stink", or "I absolutely hate how she makes me feel inferior" etc. (as they either envy my marriage, Alhamdulillah, or they're ignorant of the ruling of backbiting in Islam) or whatever they often discuss among themselves are nonsensical lies such as falsely assuming I'm a "tomboy (dyke)" or a "self-entitled dictator" etc. I would: 

1] Include them in a long list or category of individuals whom I can no longer trust or who are confirmed to be completely untrustworthy, so I keep my distance from them, as much as possible, almost in the same way as falcons would steer clear of flying around wolves and lions won't bother socializing with anacondas. 

2] Continue displaying basic good manners towards them while refraining from attempting to develop the connection due to their untrustworthiness and awful addiction to backbiting about others. 

3] Take most of their utterances and dubious info they share online with a grain of salt, aware that a lot of what they say could be nonsense and pretentious fabrications. If they promise or agree to do something, I wouldn't expect too much from them since they seem to be pros at being unreliable - in my opinion. 

4] Imagine them as one of those products at some grocery stores which I'm uninterested in purchasing because they're irrelevant to my lifestyle choices and/or they are mostly a bad influence. Disliking them for Allah's sake doesn't necessitate that I discard them whenever I come across them, no, specially if I'm not the one managing the store. I'd simply walk past them, visualizing them as distractions or obstacles which aren't beneficial to me at all. 

5] Regard them as examples of lousy behavior to avoid.

Note: Can Muslims Attend "Xmas" Parties?

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

🗒️ Some notes on how to interact well with non-Muslims, 

Whether they're non-Muslim relatives, colleagues, students, 

Neighbors, strangers, salespersons, or casual acquaintance: 

One: Treat them decently. Know they're Allah's creation. 

Use mercy and justice in your general dealings. 

~•~

Do your best to maintain good manners when they're present, 

And when they're absent, refrain from needless gossiping. 

With Muslims or non-Muslims, Allah is still watching, 

While nearby at all times, there are angels recording.

Abstain from all forms of injustice and oppression.

~•~

Two: If you like them, if they happen to be loved ones, 

If their well-mannered conduct invites admiration, 

Then do them a favor, show them the true religion, 

Share with them your knowledge of Islam and right guidance, 

And mention them in Du'as, pray that Allah guides them.

~•~

Recall the Sahabas (RadhiAllahu 'anhum). Most started as non-Muslims, 

Formerly they abhorred and showed fierce opposition 

To Allah's Messenger Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) and the Muslims, 

Until Allah the Most Kind saved them from misguidance, 

Enlightened them and promised them with Jannah's entrance.

~•~

Three: While treating non-Muslims with civilized treatment, 

Value your faith and don't stray from Islamic teachings. 

Don't partake in their festivals and celebrations, 

Because you're a Muslim, not because you're arrogant. 

True good character is also kind invitation.

~•~

Tips: 3 Dos And 3 Don'ts Regarding Individuals Who Are Incompatible With You

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

📜 Question: At school there are a number of individuals whom I do not like at all because of how unreliable, irresponsible, uncooperative, dishonest and unmannerly they've proven to be. What can I do to cope with their negative presence? 

📝 Answer: Some tips on dealing with individuals who are incompatible with you, especially if they never sincerely apologized for several mistakes they did or they continue doing something which you regard as toxic:- 

✅ Three dos: 

1] Maintain basic good manners with them for Allah's sake, being cordial acquaintances only, not intending to form an actual connection.

☑️ For example: When they greet you with the salaam, confidently respond to their greeting with a polite smile. 

2] Be honest and truthful with them as much as you can, for Allah's sake. 

☑️ For instance: If they ask for your feedback concerning an outfit which they bought recently or they wish to know what your opinion is on a project they presented, and you genuinely think it's interesting or notable somehow, let them know the truth instead of imitating them in being untruthful. 

3] Unapologetically avoid them for Allah's sake online and offline to shield your emotional and religious well-being.

☑️ Refrain from sitting too near them whenever you can, and don't bother checking any of their status updates, YouTube channel, and/or Facebook page/s etc. which can't add a single value to your faith/Imaan. 

❌ Three don'ts:

🚫 1} As much as possible, do not backbite or gossip about individuals whom you can't stand, even if you assume that a joke or certain information could appease your ego. 

🚫 2} Do not intentionally exclude them from group activities or meetings which they are supposed to partake in. While it is understandable that you don't enjoy talking to them, probably due to language barrier or you've decided to not trust them anymore, your grudge mustn't cause you to act like an emotionally wounded, insecure and unhappy bully. 

🚫 3} As much as possible, do not go out of your way to inquire about their personal lives, particularly if they are known for frequently inventing lies. Don't force yourself to prolong conversations with strangers who make you feel uncomfortable.

Note: Five Reasons Why Allah Lets Us Meet Troublesome Or Toxic People

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

📑 Five reasons why Allah the Most Wise lets us meet some individuals who are obnoxiously uncooperative, rude and disrespectful: 

1] To appreciate the few who are sincerely helpful, supportive and tactful. 

💎 For example: The more you encounter impolite customers or indifferent clients, the more you may feel grateful for those who are more considerate or kindhearted to you. If you have a number of relatives who are selfish or too busy to communicate with you, you find yourself appreciating the ones who try their best to maintain peaceful connection with you.

2] To train us to become more patient, so we can earn additional rewards whenever we strive to have patience for Allah's sake. 

3] To thank Allah the Almighty that we don't have the misery and gigantic load of insecurities which grouchy trolls and envious troublemakers do. 

✅ Confident people who are genuinely happy with themselves never act like troubled bullies. Don't be surprised if you witness disrespect from individuals overwhelmed by many unresolved problems or who are guilty of immense envy. 

4] To understand what it feels like to be treated unfairly, so we desist from behaving unjustly towards others. 

⚠️ Somebody scammed or stole something from you? You didn't like it? Avoid doing the same to others. 

5] To defend the oppressed or warn loved ones against those who are untrustworthy and lack good manners.
