In The Name Of Allah
There are three types of foes besides the devil -
Three kinds of enemies whom we should avoid:
First are haters who hate you for your Islam,
They're different from you, as they're shaytan's toys.
They adorn themselves with lies, while you stay true.
While they're guilty of sins, you avoid what's wrong.
Good deeds that you do leave them in resentment,
They loathe your morals and how your faith is strong.
With your differences, good and bad don't mix.
As they despise, you hate them for Allah's sake:
They are liars and thieves, most untrustworthy,
Nosy, blameworthy donkeys each night and day.
Number two are those who hate out of envy:
Beneath you, they want your status like theirs - low.
Of your merits and achievements they're jealous,
So their rudeness and worst traits they strangely show.
Good qualities you have they try to take by
Being unfriendly fools due to jealousy.
Just thank them sincerely, for they let you know -
You're above them in faith and nobility.
Third types of haters are the ignorant ones,
Who put on an act, to follow shaytan's lies -
To understand what is right they often fail -
They're but misguided, as they're puppets of spies.
Because most of them are fake, be fake likewise.
Shun being close to them - they're not worth your time.
Trust Allah. Know what goes around comes around.
If some of them may listen, advise and guide.
Should many hate you because they are sinners,
Know that you're not here to please them but Allah.
It's their loss as they miss out on your friendship,
Special bond with Allah and RasulAllah.
The Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam
Had enemies too who told lies about him,
Who called him names he was not, while it's proven
He is the most noble of all human beings.
So don't mind how many "friends" you have online,
Or if you have no real buddies to talk to.
So long as you're Muslim, Allah stays near you.
Allah is your Friend, Who knows everything about you.
Belie shaytan when he lies, "you look lonely."
Don't bother befriending hypocrites and fakes.
Move away from their lies. Remain with Allah.
Be with the righteous few on Allah's Straight Way.
May Allah the Most Merciful forgive all our mistakes, accept all our good deeds, answer all our good du'as and reunite us with our Muslim loved ones in Jannatul Firdaus near Him and His beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam. Ameen.
Include us and all Muslim brothers and sisters in your good du'as :)
Wasalaam,
