A Muslim must perform good deeds and draw closer to Allah, and he should let the fear of punishment and shortcomings prevail so that he strives to please Allah, while also having a good opinion of Allah and being optimistic for good, as Allah Almighty says in the Qudsi: "I am as My servant thinks of Me." It is not proper for a person to consider himself wronged, for Allah Almighty says: "Allah does not wrong people at all, but people wrong themselves."
