When we begin any task by saying “bismillah: (In the Name of Allah), we dedicate it to Allah to get His blessings. We are His creation, and all our salah, our sacrifices, our whole lives, and our death are in His hands.
Even when someone criticizes you with anger using demeaning words, don’t return an angry response, but don’t or ignore them. Instead, consider if there is any truth to what they said. Imam Shafi’i (may Allah be pleased with him), one of the founding imams of the Sunni school of thought, was called an evil, wicked man (faasiq). He raised his hands and supplicated to Allah, “O Allah, if he’s telling the truth, then forgive me, have mercy on me, and accept my repentance.”
