Ignoring What People Say
One
of the biggest trials to sincerity is when the heart leaps with joy
when it hears the praise of other people. People will always praise the
righteous and condemn the evildoer. Ignore praise and fear from evil
sins. Ibn Jawzi said: "Leave what people say and erase one’s honor from
their hearts through good deeds and sincerity and concealment of oneself
is what raised the elevated people."3 The erasing of one’s honor from
people heart means to not heed to how people might honor you. Although
one should always strive to be loved by all, it is dangerous to think
that the honor people have for you will do you any good in getting your
actions accepted by Allah.
We
ask Allah to accept our actions and make us sincere in our actions.
