Bismillah (In the Name of Allah),
Brother, you know that is wrong, you must know because you are afriad.
Allah (swt) is testing you with those who are closest to you..
the Prophet (saaws) asked, "O Allah the Turner of the hearts turn our hearts to Thy obedience. 'O Allah please don't allow me to have rancour in my heart for any believer.
And for those who are misbehaved, ( muslim or non-muslim) he (saaws) asked Allah, please incline the hearts of man. Meaning he (saaws) only asked that Allah soften the hearts of those who wrong him, and make them repsect if not love him (saaws).
It seems you are dealing with someone who is trying to judge you, if you know that you are striving to do your best, pleasing Allah, you don't have to worry abou those who may try to put you down. Keep in mind that if you can stay away frompeople and things if you are able or make dua to Allah seek refuge in Allah, and feed them with a long-handed spoon, (that's if you must be around and deal with this certain person.
The Prophet (saaws) never hated even his open enemy, because he (saaws) know Allah will save him (saaws), no matter what attempts and discredit was against him (saaws).
Keep in the comp[any of those who bow down in worship, and feed the rest with a long-handed sppon. Pray for your muslim brothers and sisters, as many allover the world pray for you , who they never seen.
the ummat is vast we here in usa are just a few of Allah's servant.
Keep up the good works, that is your true salvation, and saftey from don't let anyone or anything make you risk your chance for Al-Firdaus (paradise) and more importantly the Good PLeasures Allah (swt) have for you, Allah's Love.
may Allah forgive me for anything, I'v esaid wrong, and May Allah help us all...amin!
