Dealing with Negative Feelings and Self-Confusion in Islam

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Sometimes I realize this bad feelings from people about me and I sometimes simply don’t know why, I feel guilty when nothing simply happens to me and I just have this strange look and behavior that I myself don’t like about me  and also I just feel low about myself. I am so confused. Its is creating confusion in me and it is causing people to think and feel different things about me. Please is there any duah or thing I can do Islamically?

Bismillaah

A: You should not pay attention nor get affected through people’s opinions and comments because it is not possible for one to please everybody at the same time. Rather keep Allah Ta’ala in mind all the time. This will guard you against people’s negative opinions and comments.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
