On the authority of Abu Sa'id (R.A), who said that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
Let not any one of you belittle himself. They said: O Messenger of Allah, how can any one of us belittle himself? He said: He finds a matter concerning Allah about which he should say something, and he does not say [it], so Allah (mighty and sublime be He) says to him on the Day of Resurrection: What prevented you from saying something about such-and-such and such-and-such? He say: [It was] out of fear of people. Then He says: Rather it is I whom you should more properly fear.
(Ibn Majah)
Fearing Allah is the most fundamental part of Islam. Fear of people is natural but when a person becomes close to Allah, he realizes how it doesn't affect him at all about what others think of him and how his whole world can change if Allah thinks good of him. Hence fearing Allah should be our top concern, not fearing people.
