๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐ Five things to recall, to not care about people's opinions of you:
1] Allah the Almighty Who created us has complete control over everything and everybody. Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala is the Only One Whom we must strive to please; we weren't designed to behave like slaves to His servants.
2] Why should we care about how people perceive us when they themselves aren't entirely flawless and infallible? It doesn't make sense if a bunch of pencils laugh at an unsharpened pencil while they're either too short to grasp, they're broken or they're similarly blunt.
3] A lot of the individuals who find it easy to criticize you may act hypercritical to distract themselves from their own problems and insecurities. Don't allow somebody's misery to disturb your inner peace.
4] Just as you have the freedom to make judgments about people, according to their treatment of you or how you truly feel around them, others have a right to evaluate you based on their current circumstances and past experiences. Ultimately the way they view you says more about them than your true identity and reality.
5] Most of the people on earth are not genuinely confident or actually happy from within. Those who are insecure with themselves or who feel as though they're lacking something which Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala granted you have a tendency to magnify your faults so their emotional wounds are soothed. As long as you're doing what you believe can bring you closer to Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, don't bother adjusting or altering yourself to appease a fellow servant.

๐ Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: 'If only I had done something else.' Rather say: 'Allah has decreed what He wills.' Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of shaytan."
