Is people's dislike of a person and their negative talk about him evidence of Allah's dislike for him? And what is your guidance for someone who suffers from low self-esteem due to people's talk about his walk, and his belief that it might be a punishment from Allah?

The questioner, who suffers from low self-confidence and sensitivity to people's words, was advised to improve his character in dealing with them, fulfill his duties towards Allah and worship Him, and take the initiative to correct mistakes. The advice cited the Prophet's (peace be upon him) recommendation to Mu'adh ibn Jabal: "Fear Allah wherever you are, and follow up a bad deed with a good one that will erase it, and deal with people with good manners." It was mentioned that good manners involve treating people kindly and forgiving those who have wronged you. Regarding people's dislike, it is not necessarily an indication of Allah's dislike, as Allah's love for His servant grants him acceptance on earth among the righteous, not among all creation. Bad habits and manners can be changed through diligence, perseverance, and choosing righteous companionship.
