Nursi, B: Sincerity & Brotherhood

"You should pursue God's good pleasure in your actions. If He is pleased with you, even if the whole world is displeased, it is of no consequence. If He approves, it has no effect even if all others reject your ideas and actions. When He is pleased and approves, even if you do not seek the approval of others, should He will it to be and His Wisdom requires it, He will make others accept it and be pleased with you. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary to aim at God Almighty's good pleasure in the service of the Quran and belief."
