Whatever happens, even when all your plans fail and all doors seem shut, cry out to the Almighty, the All-Knowing, seek refuge in the Him. He'll find a way out for you. Trust Him.
People will speculate, they’ll think the worst of you, they’ll judge, assume, gossip and backbite. When told the truth, most won’t even bother to correct themselves. Such is the state of humankind today. Protect yourself. Stay away from such sinful acts.
