Ignore Lack Of Fairness And Transparency If You're Truly Working For God - Tosin Pep

A woman shared her disappointment after years of sincerely serving at her mosque—cleaning and maintaining it faithfully—only to be overlooked for a women’s position that instead went to socially influential attendees. Feeling hurt, she questioned what her dedication counted for, especially after being assigned a lesser role. Her story sparked mixed reactions, including supportive, critical, and dismissive responses.

One comment read: “If you truly serving God whole heartedly and not for the sake of others you should also believe your rewards comes only from him alone you shouldn’t feel bad if they didnt mention your name.”

While this may sound spiritually motivated, it can be dismissive because it overlooks the real concern she raised: fairness and transparency. The comment shifts focus entirely to personal piety and implies she has no right to feel hurt, which can invalidate legitimate grievances. Faith and accountability are not mutually exclusive—people can serve sincerely and still expect justice and integrity within their religious community. Ignoring possible favoritism or politics risks allowing unhealthy systems to persist unchecked.
