Don't

Don’t feel sad seeing someone smiling.
Perhaps they are smiling through thousands of pains.

Don’t feel upset seeing a successful marriage.
Perhaps they are trying hard to beat the odds in their lives.

Don’t feel sad seeing others having kids.
Perhaps they are sacrificing a lot to protect what they are only blessed with.

Don’t feel upset seeing someone spending their leisure with joy.
Perhaps that’s the only break they had for themselves.

Don’t feel annoyed hearing someone’s laughter.
Perhaps that’s the only way for them to break the silence.

We don’t know what happens behind curtains.
Perhaps those people who try to show their smiles to the world don’t want to make others cry for them.

We don’t know the trials they are facing with, so don’t judge that they are showing off.

We can’t spend a hidden life. Our joys and sorrows will be identified by the world.

No one can hide a child they have fearing that it could hurt someone who doesn’t have a child.

No one can hide their wealth because someone else would feel hurt for not being blessed with wealth.

No one can pretend to be sick knowing there could be someone suffering with an illness.

Everyone has their own package of trials.

None can live for someone else’s sake.

They have to live the life they are assigned with.

Pretending to live a life that they are not truly living is showing off.

Besides their deeds are known by Allah alone.

Sharing happiness with others is not wrong.

Intending to inspire others is not a crime.

Our duty is not to judge their deeds but to bless them to live happily forever.

We might feel offended sometimes seeing someone screaming with joy while we are grieving for a loss.

Just because we are sad it is not right to expect everyone to mourn.

If we are expecting others to be sad along with us..
Then we must get prepared to be happy with others as well.

That is the true spirit of a Muslim. “None of you [truly] believes until he loves for his brother that which he loves for himself.” ~Prophet Muhammed صلى الله عليه و سلم [ via Happy Muslim Family ]
