The People Syndrome, a bitter truth.

The People Syndrome, a bitter truth.

Everyone’s concerned with the people. The usual, “What will the people say?” is a disease far spread into our homes and into our hearts. As though our only concern is for the people. We breathe for the people. We make sacrifices for the people. We are what the people expects us to be.

While on the contrary, we are very passive with not being concerned with Allāh. As though again it is the people who elevate and abase us. No. Re read 3:26. It is Allāh who honours whom He wills and humbles whom He wills. What power do people have when it is Allāh who is over all things competent.

Leave the people aside, and I mean this NOT in the sense to completely abandon and cast away your people and never talk to them. You just gotta make the right decision for your accountability in front of Allāh on the Day of Judgement. The day everyone will be to themselves. And the people whom you tiredly tried pleasing or to get a worldly benefit from, will be of no benefit that day. Clearly of no benefit. Did you abide by the “people” or what I have sent you forthwith? For what price was all of that necessary for?

We live for Allāh and His Divine Laws He set aside for us in this life. Please Him, and you will have an elevated status with Him. Talk about ‘Izzah, He got your back for eternity! Let’s change, “What the people will say to what Allāh will say?”

Made by God, for God

Old post but yet so beautiful in its message! May Allah reward and bless her.

“You keep running after the love of the people, but you’ll never get it. And what you do get, will never be enough. The hole inside you is too big. You see, it was made by God, for God. How could anything less fill it?” -Yasmin Mogahed
