Umm Salama رضي الله عنها, the wife of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, reported Allah’s Messenger ﷺ as saying:

If any servant (of Allah) who suffers a calamity says: “We belong to Allah and to Him shall we return; O Allah, reward me for my affliction and give me something better than it in exchange for it” Allah will give him reward for affliction, and would give him something better than it in exchange. She (Umm Salama رضي الله عنها) said: When Abu Salama رضي الله عنه died. I uttered (these very words) as I was commanded (to do) by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. So Allah gave me better in exchange than him. i. e. (I was taken as the wife of) the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

[Sahih Muslim 918 b]

Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه reported Allah’s Messenger ﷺ as saying:

The uttering of (these words): “Glory be to Allah, All praise is due to Allah, There is no god but Allah, Allah is the greatest” is dearer to me than anything over which the sun rises.

[Sahih Muslim 2695]

“If money is the focus, you will find that no matter how much money you have, you will always fear losing it. This preoccupation is poverty itself. That is why the Prophet ﷺ says about such people that poverty is always in front of their eyes. That is all they see. No matter how much they have, there is no contentment, only greed for more and fear of loss.”

“Acting humble for people’s praise is one of the most dangerous forms of riyaa (showing off).”

— Shaykh Omar Suleiman

Stop worrying about what other people think of you. Worry about who you actually are. When your Lord raises you on the day of judgment, He will not be swayed by public opinion. He knows who you are without the titles and likes. So focus on building your character instead of your reputation.

Omar Suleiman
