The Sunnah of ‘Umar رضي الله عنه
When ‘Umar was a khalifa, he noticed a man who no longer used to attend his gatherings so he asked about him, people told that he became alcoholic & is lost, so leave him & move on. But ‘Umar insisted to a plan to protect his health & Hereafter.
He sent a letter to this man with just one verse of Surah Ghāfir,
“Forgiver of sins & Accepter of repentance, severe in punishment, infinite in bounty. There is no God but Him, to Him is the Ultimate return”
[40:3]
He instructed to give this letter to him directly. He also ordered those in the congregation to supplicate for this man.
When the man read the letter, he shed into tears & repented to Allah & made a quick transition to leave Alcohol behind.
‘Umar heard this, he gave his people a timeless lesson:
“That is what you should do when you see a person has fallen into error, then help him correct himself and don't be with shaytan against him”
[Tafsīr al-Qurtubi 15/256]

An-Nur 24:41
أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُۥ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَٱلطَّيۡرُ صَٰٓفَّٰتٍۖ كُلٌّ قَدۡ عَلِمَ صَلَاتَهُۥ وَتَسۡبِيحَهُۥۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِمَا يَفۡعَلُونَ
See you not (O Muhammad SAW) that Allah, He it is Whom glorify whosoever is in the heavens and the earth, and the birds with wings out-spread (in their flight).

Do not worry about the acceptance of the people. Let only the acceptance from your Lord concern you.

The most amazing thing about Allah’s mercy is that it is constant. It never stops. Whether you realize it or not.

Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله): “Sins cause a great loneliness in the heart, so the sinner feels alone, away from his Lord, from people and even from his own soul! And the more his sins increase, the more his loneliness increases!”
Ibn Taymīyyah (رحمه الله) said,
“What really matters are good endings, not flawed beginnings.”
