I begin in the Name of Allah,
“And We place the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so no soul will be treated unjustly at all. And if there is [even] the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it forth. And sufficient are We as accountant.” (21:47)

If someone is spreading lies about you, backbiting and slandering, leave them to Allah.
If someone is cheating on you, having an affair and lying to you, leave them to Allah.
If someone is oppressing you, bullying you or harassing you, leave them to Allah.
If someone does not pray and fast, don’t think you are better, just leave them to Allah.
If someone violated your rights and took even a shilling from you, leave them to Allah.
If someone disagrees with you, whether in religious or worldy matters, end the conversation, leave them to Allah.
If someone treats you unfairly, is biased and prejudiced, or shows favouritism, also leave them to Allah.
“So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it, and whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it.” (99:7 & 8)
This article was written after being inspired by a poem of the Late Mother Theresa:
“People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway. ~Mother Teresa”
