Note: Five Signs Which Indicate That You're Not Jealous At All

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

🗒️ Five signs that you're actually not jealous of a person even though some individuals like to imagine that you are "envious": 

1] As much as possible you refrain from gossiping about them negatively or discussing their defects pointlessly with others behind their backs. 

2] You don't stalk their social media accounts with malicious motives, desperate to check if they've posted upsetting news so you can mock their misery or eager to collect more info about them so you know how to compete and prove your "superiority". 

3] You avoid intentional attempts to make them feel left out at gatherings, meetings and virtual group conversations. 

4] Every time they speak, or even when they're silent, you don't roll your eyes with resentment. Regardless of their tone of voice or errors they commit occasionally, you are incapable of ridiculing how they sound because, in the first place, you're not guilty of envy. 

5] You don't feel the need to bully them to pacify unpleasant feelings of inadequacy nor do you treat them unfairly. Since you're not jealously threatened by their presence, you have the ability to keep your cool and maintain decent manners with them despite a few dissimilarities.

Rather, be servants of Allah as brothers. The Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. He does not wrong him, nor humiliate him, nor look down upon him. Righteousness is here," and he pointed to his chest three times. The Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "It is enough evil for a man to look down upon his Muslim brother. The entirety of the Muslim is sacred to another Muslim: his life, his wealth, and his reputation."

Poem: Please, Don't Assume I Envy Lifestyles Which Allah Doesn't Like

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

🗒️ The likeness of narcissists who foolishly take pride 

In their lavish cribs, luxury rides, pricey attire, 

And worldly joys while they deny Jannah Paradise, 

Is that of prideful donkeys desperate to be admired

For dried twigs they amassed while discarding gold nearby, 

~•~

Or disturbed monkeys in a safari park at night

Showing off their treasures of banana peels they like, 

While there's no valid reason to envy their lifestyle, 

Specially if they're misguided, can't tell wrong from right, 

And this dunya's delusions depress them from inside. 

~•~

I can't inspire myself to feel jealous of the lives 

Of avaricious people whom Allah doesn't guide 

To Islam, charity and belief in Paradise, 

Specially if they're not wise enough to realize 

This world is a test and demise can come anytime. 

~•~ 

If ever you encounter narcissists who take pride 

In their lavish cribs, luxury rides, pricey attire, 

And "poor" is a word they, with kibr, use to describe 

You, while you're contented, not jealous of their lifestyle, 

Specially if there are signs by Allah they're despised, 

~•~ 

Tell yourself: No need for their temporary delights, 

Materialism is not something which Allah likes, 

And your wealth won't join you in your grave when death arrives. 

Don't bother desiring this world's pleasures masked with lies. 

Their worth doesn't equate with true bliss in Paradise.

Tips: How To Deal With People Who Pretend To Like You But They Don't

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

📜 Question: What advice do you have on dealing with individuals who pretend to like you but in reality they don't or you can sense that they jealously gossip about you when you're not around? 

📝 Answer: 1] Similarly treat them with general politeness and maintain good manners as much as possible. Do not allow someone's envy, misery or insecurities to take control of your character. 

2] Understand the probable causes of their bitterness. Whether they dislike you because you remind them of their unhappiness or they're indisputably envious, be grateful Alhamdulillah that you're not the one suffering inwardly with all the negative energy of enviously despising other Muslims. 

3] If you know or discovered that a person actually dislikes you for whatever reason, you don't need to oblige yourself to modify their overall perception of you. We can't force any human being to befriend us just as they shouldn't compel us to fancy something or somebody we don't regard as interesting. Never bother stalking their social media posts and stop paying attention to any of their uploads to preserve your inner peace. 

4] Find comfort in knowing that Allah's Prophets 'alaihim as-salaam, including the noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam who is the best of all humankind, also encountered some untruthful critics, hypocrites and enemies during their lifetime. Striving to be close to Allah the Almighty won't guarantee that you'll be loved by every single soul you meet. Expect enmity and disrespect from individuals who disagree with what you value. 

5] Instead of constantly worrying about why you're despised by some people, remain contented with Allah's Love and appreciate the special few in your circle who already care about you for Allah's sake, such as your parents, your spouse and a good number of your relatives who are tolerant of your dissimilarities.

📖 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."

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

Note: Our Real Home Isn't In This World But In Jannah Paradise

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

💌 An ideal home doesn't have to be a large mansion with a huge backyard, indoor swimming pool and multiple guest rooms to impress visitors. It is possible for a Muslim to be contented with a simple room or minimalistic residence knowing that this world isn't permanent. 

Inn-sha-Allah our actual abode awaits us in Jannah Paradise where Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala and His noble Messenger SallAllahu alaihi wa sallam are.

While spacious homes and lavishly furnished apartments can allow dwellers to enjoy comfort and ease, it is always better to prefer Jannah's eternal peace over this dunya where even the tallest of towers and most luxurious residences can't be guaranteed complete safety from earthquakes, typhoons and other worldly disasters.

Regardless of how many bedrooms and floors your accommodation in this temporal world has, how big your crib is, how expensive its land costed and how splendid your house's interior and exterior designs look, what matters is we patiently and sincerely continue doing as many good deeds as we can for Allah's sake so we join those striving believers who are worthy of entering Jannah Paradise where its everlasting joys are far more worthwhile, grandiose and impressive than all of this world's palaces combined.

📖 Abu Umamah RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "I guarantee a house on the outskirts of Paradise for one who leaves arguments even if he is right, and a house in the middle of Paradise for one who abandons lies even when joking, and a house in the highest part of Paradise for one who makes his character excellent."

Poem: Interacting With Many Divorcees Doesn't Inspire Me To Leave My Dear Husband

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

💌 Since I love my husband for Allah with love intense,

Divorced companions to me are not an influence.

Suggestions to leave my spouse by interfering "friends"

Can't prevent me from faithfully loving my husband.

~•~

Allah is the One Who sealed and blessed this connection,

Hence I love my decision to stay loyal since then.

My significant other may not be that handsome,

It's not a problem, as I'm the one married to him.

~•~

I love him for Allah solely, saying this again,

Loving my soulmate grants me strength to befriend patience,

Enhancing loyalty to hold on without pretense -

A blessing, keeping me far from sinful relations.

~•~

My definition of love is not lustful passion

But forgiving your lover's flaws and imperfections,

Being each other's support, friend and inspiration,

Despite challenges we remain married, brave and strong.

~•~

All actions done for God Allah with pure intentions

Become easy with time in spite of complications.

Thus, I go on loving my man with sweet contentment,

Praying that we're welcome in Jannah for our striving. 

~•~

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "If a woman prays her five prayers, fasts her month of Ramadan, guards her chastity, and obeys her husband, she will enter Paradise from any gate she wishes."
