Don’t Abandon Good Deeds Fearing Riya’ (showing off)!

You should take note that the Shaytan (devil) may approach you when you intend a good deed and whisper to you that you are merely performing the deeds for show-off, in order to frustrate you, neutralize your resolve, and discourage you. Do not pay attention to such dissuasions, do not obey him. Perform the deeds even if he tells you that you are only performing it to show off or seek publicity. That’s because if you were asked are you now performing this act to show off or for fame, you would say no. Therefore, do not pay attention to these murmurs that the Shaytan casts into your heart. Do good deeds and do not say "I am showing off" and things like that.
