Allah Shows You True Colors of Every Relation

This life we have is so uncertain, that we cannot predict what's coming for us in a very next moment. And this is not something we should panic on, as this is the way life is supposed to be. Expecting very less from it and accepting the reality of it, is the only way towards an unbothered way of living it

Life gives you so many moments to ponder the fact that why God Almighty said that in Holy Quran to not focus on worldly life. But we, humans love to get disappointed by many in return. Allah says that

O my people, this worldly life is only [temporary] enjoyment, and indeed, the Hereafter - that is the home of [permanent] settlement.

The Quran 40:39

Relations you are bonded with

We humans have some relations bonded with us naturally, as we opened our eyes among them but some relations are those which we develop with the people, who we like some way or another, but we not always remain happy with them

People disappoint others and this is the harsh reality, sometimes we do not understand it so frequently. We question that why do we get heartbreaks from certain someone who we used to adore. Why circumstances go wrong when we all are trying our best to run them smoothly? Why our relatives, our loved ones betray us? Why it is important to know everyone's reality at some point of our lives? These questions reside in our minds and eventually destroy our mental peace. All this chaos and the answer is simple! The answer is: Life is supposed to be like this. People will never admire your goodness towards them and you just need to be patient and hope to get the reward from Allah

Abu Huraira RA reported that a person said

Allah's Messenger, I have relatives with whom I try, to have close relationship, but they sever (this relation). I treat them well, but they treat me ill. I am sweet to them but they are harsh towards me. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: If it is so as you say, then you in fact throw hot ashes (upon their faces) and there would always remain with you on behalf of Allah (an Angel to support you) who would keep you dominant over them so long as you
adhere to this (path of righteousness).
Sahih Muslim Book 32, Hadith 6204
Whatever we have in this world, materials, relations, money or what not, are all given to us so that God Almighty can test us, Allah Himself says
Your worldly goods and your children are but a trial and a temptation, whereas with God there is a tremendous reward
The Quran 8:28
Those people who consider the relations as of crucial significance and get attached to them, and do many extraordinary things to please and keep them are surely on the wrong path. They are just wasting their time by spending it on those who will show their true colors to them one way or other because this
is what reality is and one cannot run from it an deny it for the whole life. There is a downfall for every love other than the love for God Almighty
Allah Almighty mentions in Holy Quran that do not believe in anything of this world as everything will end one day and only The Supreme Power will remain
And what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of delusion

The Quran 3:185

 We people, are not allowed to be dependent on anyone other than Allah. The relations we have i.e., parents, siblings, spouses, friends all of them are loyal to us until some extent but our true Lord stays with us all the time from time He made us, to the time He will call us back and in the life hereafter as well. Allah says

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “If your parents and children and siblings and spouses and extended family and the wealth you have acquired and the trade you fear will decline and the homes you cherish—˹if all these˺ are more beloved to you than Allah and His Messenger and struggling in His Way, then wait until Allah brings about His Will. Allah does not guide the rebellious people.”

The Quran 9:24

What Should We Do

 The conclusion clearly is not to give up on all the relations you have, rather it means that you need to be more considerate about the fact that whoever is doing whatever with you is already written in your fate and life works like this. You will get heartbreaks, you will be disappointed by a lot of people but never think it's a bad thing happening to you. Just take everything as part of process and grow stronger by passing such realities in your life. It takes time but it is not impossible to do. Neither you can change  the reality nor can fight it so try your best to move on with every other incident that reveals the reality of another relation of yours.
Do good to people and leave the rest of the matter on Allah
Love Allah, try, as much as you can, to please Him. Worship Him more, focus on establishing better relations with Him rather with other people because this will be the best you can do in this life
