"I want people to love me so they'll love the truth I have" This thinking is one of Satan's biggest gateways to the souls of influencers including preachers.. So one begins to focus on his person and makes people's admiration of him a goal in itself..and behaves in ways involving vulgarity... And with that he convinces himself that this doesn't contradict sincerity and that he does all this to lead people to Allah.. And the sensible, enabled one is he who attaches his lovers' and followers' hearts to Allah, and teaches them to revolve with truth wherever it is, and not to attach to his person, to gain three things: First: The soundness of his own intention, may Allah accept from him. Second: The soundness of people's intention. For if they do good imitating one they love, this may be at the expense of bringing forth the meaning of pure servitude to Allah. Third, and it's extremely dangerous: So that if he deviates and goes astray one day, he would have taught people to correct him or else leave him and continue on the path of truth, so he only bears the burden of his own soul. But if they go astray with him in attachment to him, woe to him how much his scale of bad deeds will carry! Contemplate after that the Truthful One's sermon when he said: (As for what follows, O people, I have been appointed over you and I am not the best of you. If I do well, help me, and if I do wrong, correct me). And there is no protector except Allah.
