Poem: How To Tell If Somebody's Vibes Are Not Good For You

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

💌 How to tell if somebody's vibes are not good for you, 

And once you despise their vibes, you have every right to 

Avoid them for Allah, as the vibes which they diffuse 

Make you doubt yourself, and around them you're not secure, 

As though they're puppets of spies who dislike your virtues:

~•~ 

Despite their smiles and stories they invent to please you, 

Deep inside you sense they're pretending or you're unsure 

If their names or narratives are even partly true. 

Between unjust suspicion and ability to 

Distinguish good souls from bad ones please don't get confused. 

~•~

You've seen it yourself - the way they interact with you, 

Using weird emoticons which you would never use, 

Chatting aimlessly and childishly about issues 

Which bring zero benefit to you and your values - 

You're more relaxed and don't miss them when they're gone from you. 

~•~

Befriending them seems pointless. Their presence can't improve 

The strength of your faith/Imaan, so you gladly refuse 

Any chance to chat for long when they cross paths with you. 

While in a few ways you're alike, you stubbornly choose 

To stay aloof, as their soul's vibes don't appeal to you.

~•~ 

Just as lions won't have sleepovers with sheep and mules, 

You find it hard to like those who hide some truths from you, 

Who believe their lies and whose acting disturbs your moods. 

When Allah guides you to detect odd vibes they exude, 

Through dreams/sensations, keep your distance to be secured.

📖 Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Beware of the intuition of the believer. Verily, he sees with the Light of Allah." Then, the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam recited the verse, “Verily, in that are signs for those of discernment.” (The Noble Qur'an 15:75)

📖 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."

Note: Real Muslim Men Do Not Wear Jewelry And Fancy Accessories

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

💌 If Muslim men were to take the advice of the noble Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam with regard to refraining from imitating the behavior of birds and animals, they'd avoid wearing unnecessary jewelry and decorating themselves with ornaments to appear more attractive in the same way male peacocks try to show off their colorful feathers when attempting to court their female counterparts. A real man doesn't require additional accessories, gold chains and bracelets, to feel or look good. He's not an overly desperate peacock nor "xmas tree". 

A Muslim man just needs to keep his beard for Allah's sake to maintain his manliness, along with his eagerness to dutifully take good care of his wife/wives and family, distinguishing himself from male penguins that mostly sit around and look after the babies while the female penguins busily search for their livelihood in the sea.

📖 Ibn Abbas RadhiAllahu 'anhuma narrated: The Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam cursed men who imitate women and women who imitate men.

In another narration, Ibn Abbas RadhiAllahu 'anhuma said: The Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam cursed men who copy women and women who copy men.

Note: The Importance Of Being Careful When Choosing Your Close Friends

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

🗒️ "...and the Muslim, when he/she befriends righteous companions, then he/she does not hear from them anything apart from what is good, and they do not enjoin upon him/her to do something but that which benefits, and they do not help him/her in something except in obeying Allah the Almighty, and they do not scold him/her except to correct a mistake so they can all improve together as Muslims, and they do not prevent him/her from anything but that which is evil and wicked. 

By accompanying the pious, one is protected from listening to backbiting, rumors, slander, making fun of people, unfairly judging Allah's servants and instantly suspecting others. 

Through befriending the righteous Muslims who sincerely strive to please only Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, you attain encouragement to do good deeds and seek only what is virtuous. 

If you befriend, o' believer, someone who respects their parents, then they will also inspire you to respect your parents. If you befriend someone who strives to maintain good ties with their relatives, they motivate you to uphold kinship with yours. And if you befriend somebody who loves to help the people, particularly those who are in need, then they encourage you to do the same. If you befriend a Muslim who enjoys seeking authentic Islamic knowledge, he/she pushes you to enjoy learning more about Islam similarly. If you befriend one who is a dedicated worshipper and who prefers to live an ascetic lifestyle, you become inspired to worship Allah the Most Loving more and appreciate simplicity likewise. And so on and so forth. 

If you befriend the pious, they try to urge you to do good and protect you from doing what is harmful for your soul." 

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "A man is upon the religion of his best friend, so let one of you look at whom he befriends."

Poem: Toxic Friendships Which We Cease For Allah's Sake Do Not Come With Regret

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

💌 I'm the kind of person who can't feel any regret 

Once I've decided to have some users "unfriended" 

Or ceased maintaining friendships which were clearly toxic. 

Facebook can suggest profiles of familiar faces, 

And I'd go, "Oh, it's them. Nah, I'm uninterested.". 

~•~

Browsing through their timelines of jokes and lies they've posted 

Is something I'd never do. I'd truly detest it. 

Trust me, I can't get tempted to stalk their lame pages. 

Adding them to list of blocked users isn't needed. 

Why disconnect when we've never really connected? 

~•~ 

When their names show up on posts of those we're still friends with, 

I guarantee you, I don't feel one bit nostalgic, 

Won't even bother reading their full comment / message, 

Since each time they reappear offline or on the net, 

I recall all the terrible things they did and said. 

~•~

Yes, I've forgiven them. Childish grudges aren't kept. 

Nonetheless, I don't mix with souls who are dishonest, 

Whose words and love for gossip remind me of garbage, 

And regardless of their fake smiles, I sense they're jealous. 

Those who tend to envy us can never be trusted. 

~•~ 

I'm glad their awful chapter in my story ended. 

From them I've learned it's ugly to be narcissistic, 

Selfish, self-obsessed, two-faced, insecure, deceptive, 

And passive or tactless due to feeling envious. 

Allah saw their bad motives, so we separated.

~•~ 

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Allah the Almighty said: 'Whoever shows hostility (enmity) to a righteous friend of Mine, I have declared war upon him. My servant does not grow closer to Me with anything more beloved to Me than the obligatory duties that I have imposed upon him. My servant continues to grow closer to Me with extra good works (nawaafil deeds like praying Tahajjud and fasting Sunnah fasts) until I love him. When I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes, and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask something from Me, I would surely give it to him. Were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant it to him. I do not hesitate to do anything as I hesitate to take the soul of the believer, for he hates death and I hate to disappoint him.'"

Grade: Sahih (Authentic) according to Al-Bukhari 

📖 Ibn Hibban RahimahuAllah narrated that Abu Darda RadhiAllahu 'anhu said, "A righteous companion is better than loneliness, and loneliness is better than an evil companion. A good writer is better than one who is silent, and one who is silent is better than an evil writer."

Poem: What You Can Do When You Discover That There Is No Person Whom You Can Trust

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

💌 "What advice can you give to people who realized 

There's nobody whom they can trust in this current life?" 

Remind yourself firstly we have Allah the Most Wise. 

So long as just pleasing Allah is from our desires, 

We won't feel bothered if by Allah's slaves we're despised. 

~•~ 

If you find gossipers to your left, and to your right 

Are actors who pretend to like you while deep inside 

Lingers jealousy that's darker than black ants at night, 

And behind you are trolls that seek to spoil your spotlight, 

Trust Only Allah, and move forward to Paradise. 

~•~ 

Since most people are prone to envy, don't be surprised 

If those whom you surround oppose you most of the time, 

Despite your willingness to improve, share, and be kind, 

As jealous hearts can't stand strong faith/Imaan, cheerful vibes, 

And your passion to serve Allah keeps them terrified. 

~•~

It's fine if part of your temporary tests in life 

Is feeling like a lone outsider most of the time. 

Don't cling to people. Connect with Allah the Most Wise. 

Keep calm with Adhkaar, Qur'an, and prayers day and night, 

With true knowledge and good deeds which brighten your soul's light.

~•~

📖 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."
