Tips: Seven Questions You Can Ask Yourself To Check If Someone's Too Toxic

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

🗒️ Seven questions to ask yourself to determine if a person is too toxic for you and they are not worthy of being regarded as a good friend - if you answer yes to at least four of these, then it is better to avoid socializing with them for Allah's sake as much as possible: 

1] Do you feel so much better and more relaxed when they're absent from work/school or when you haven't seen them for several days because their presence mostly generates very negative energy? 

2] After talking to them online and offline, do you usually sense some negative emotions as if you can tell they're deliberately doing whatever they can to make you feel "jealous", "demotivated" or "unsafe" in any way? 

3] Would you describe a lot of your conversations with them online and face to face as "unpleasantly awkward", "uninspiring", "emotionally draining" "artificial" or "obviously fake"?

4] Is it true that one of the aspects which you intensely despise about them is their awful tendency to start gossip or spread rumors? Or did it ever occur to you that they cowardly backbite about you with other gossipmongers when you're not around? 

5] Are they one of those users on social media whose posts you have unapologetically "unfollowed" or you were never interested in sending them a "friend request" or "add to contacts" since you know for sure that their status updates and content which they frequently share oppose your values? 

6] Would you legitimately describe them as "narcissistic", "selfish", "self-entitled", "unrelatable", "unreliable", "passive-aggressive" or "unsupportive"? Refrain from associating yourself with anybody who can't motivate you to attain your goals. 

7] Can you accurately state that you haven't learned a single valuable lesson from them and they are incapable of teaching you anything meaningful? 

It is wiser to go solo at times for Allah's sake than to waste time with someone who acts as an obstacle distracting you from your aims or they're a dangerous invitation to trying out avoidable drama and mistakes.

Poem: Dear Husband, Don't Get Tired Of Trying Your Best To Take Care Of Your Family For Allah's Sake

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

🗒️ Some words of encouragement to each Muslim husband, 

Whether he works abroad to obtain halal income 

Or the kind of profession he has prevents him from 

Properly relaxing or seeing his fam often, 

And whether he has one child, none or many children: 

~•~ 

Deeds you do for Allah aren't wasted. Keep striving. 

For each nap you sacrifice, moments when you're working, 

And for each tear that drops when loved ones aren't watching, 

With Allah's Will you earn rewards. Strive and stay patient. 

Allah loves those who try to pass His tests with patience. 

~•~

While Sabr isn't simple, not sweet for everyone, 

And by those weak in faith it's not readily welcome, 

Steadfastness and facing Allah's Plans with contentment 

Can bring pleasant outcomes as one's Imaan gets strengthened. 

Efforts to please Allah lead to joy everlasting.

~•~ 

Recall that life's a test. View marriage as a blessing.

Remind yourself there's no human without a problem. 

Imagine the route to Jannah as a high mountain 

Whose peak can't be reached if you lack strength and resilience.

Climbing becomes tiring if you can't maintain patience.

~•~

Thank Allah that He blessed you with an occupation, 

With guidance to the truth Islam and comprehension 

Of how the problems in this world aren't permanent. 

Allah's Prophets also ('alaihim as-salaam) had their own predicaments. 

Earth is for testing. In Jannah is true enjoyment.

Note: Five Reasons Why Maintaining Friendship As Adults Can Be Tough At Times

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

📝 Five reasons why maintaining friendship as adults can be challenging at times, why some adult friendships gradually dissipate: 

1] Very obvious differences in goals, interests and priorities. 

✅ For example: A woman whose husband works abroad is more likely to connect well with other wives who don't always get to see their husbands or who are similarly okay with polygyny, while she'd keep her distance from those whose presence could threaten her contentment with her marriage life whether directly or indirectly. 

2] Busyness with work and multiple projects or conflict in their schedules regarding available timings for chatting and meeting up etc. 

3] Each of them is also busy with trying her best to care for her husband, parents, child/children and families. 

4] If they are all introverts, they're probably waiting for each other or somebody to make the first move in organizing a meaningful gathering and sending out invitations.

5] They could all be equally struggling financially, so attempting to be the host of a memorable event or conducting a group outing may not be something they'd readily do on a regular basis if they're currently on a tight budget. 

✨ If you want a connection to last longer Inn-sha-Allah for Allah's sake: 

1. The intention and purpose of two friends connecting should be purely for the sake of Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, not for selfish gain. 

2. Both friends must be extremely forgiving, understanding, caring, supportive and patient for Allah's sake with one another, regardless of how often they communicate face to face. 

3. None of them should be insecure and guilty of envy. Jealousy is a common reason why many potential friends drift away.
