Worry About Allah. Don't Worry About the People.
A great part of tasawwuf that seems to have been obscured from
the masses in the era of big conferences, YouTube videos, Facebook Friends and Twitter
Followers, is developing the capacity in one's self to be immune from
people's praise and scorn. In an age where being shamed online causes young people to take their own lives, do what is right, and don't worry
about what people think afterwards. Enjoy your good deeds because Allah loves them,
not for the sake of the people, and feel shame for your sins in front
of Him, and don't care what they say. If one can do this it will greatly
contribute to their spiritual progress, as well as their own
psychiatric well-being.
Amin. Couple that with the advice from Shaykh Murabit to treat the house of Allah as a place of worship and not as a social club.
