What should one do who abandons good deeds for fear of hypocrisy and their not being sincerely for Allah the Almighty?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
One must strive to do good deeds, achieve sincerity, and avoid showing off. One should not abandon good deeds out of fear of showing off; for this is one of Satan's stratagems. Rather, one must perform righteous deeds and disregard misgivings, ask Allah for sincerity, and not yield to Satan's whisperings that incite abandoning good deeds for fear of showing off.
