Remain praiseworthy by Allah, even if you are unknown, without friends and no one appreciate you....,

 Fudayl ibn ’Iyyād said:

*If you are able to be unknown, then do so. What does it matter to you if none knows you? What does it matter to you that none praises you? Why would it matter to you that you are criticized by the people if you are (considered) praiseworthy by Allāh?*
