To perform good deeds without showing off, keep your intention pure and emphasize doing them secretly.
In the Holy Quran, performing good deeds and acts of charity with sincerity and without showing off is of great importance. Allah says in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 264: 'O you who have believed, do not invalidate your charities with reminders or injury, as one who spends his wealth only to be seen by the people.' This demonstrates that hypocrisy in good deeds is not only unacceptable from a divine perspective but may also lead to discouragement in individuals from performing such acts. To perform good deeds without show, it's crucial to keep your intention pure and act solely for the pleasure of Allah. Furthermore, performing acts of kindness secretly can also help in avoiding hypocrisy. In Surah Al-An'am, verse 162, it states: 'Say, indeed, my prayer, my rites of sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the worlds.' Thus, when someone performs good deeds purely for Allah, they receive tranquility and abundant goodness. Collaboration with others in charity can also be significant, enhancing a sense of empathy and compassion among individuals. By reflecting on these aspects, we can strive for good deeds with pure intentions and without hypocrisy.
O you who have believed, do not invalidate your charities with reminders or injury, as one who spends his wealth only to be seen by the people.
And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment.
Say, indeed, my prayer, my rites of sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the worlds.
Once upon a time, there was a man named Ali who decided to do good deeds for the sake of Allah. Fearing hypocrisy, he performed all his good acts in secret. One day, he learned that a believer in his neighborhood needed financial assistance. With pure intentions, Ali helped him without doing so in front of others. After a while, Ali felt calmer and happier. He realized that when he performed good deeds without hypocrisy, his spirit filled with tranquility, and blessings entered his life.
