Concerned about What People Think?
Don’t make it your concern [that others] assume the best of you or people mention good of you.
Rather, aim eagerly to be deserving of [others] assuming the best [of you] and worthy of [their] mentioning good of you—without seeking or wanting that [from them].
Your end goal is that your Mawlá [the One who manages your affairs and supports you] be pleased with you; and that you deserve His mercy, His forgiveness, His kindness and generosity.

لا يكن همّك حسن الظن بك
ولا ثناء الناس عليك
بل احرص أن تكون مستحقا لحسن الظن، أهلا للثناء، دون طلب ورغبة في ذلك.
فغايتك أن يرضى عنك مولاك، وأن تستحق رحمته وعفوه وإحسانه.— د.محمد بن غالب العُمري (@m_g_alomari) December 31, 2020
