What applies to knowledge is also applicable to goodness
A deed performed with sincerity and humility is the essence of obedience and of great value and significance. If it is performed with pride, it is like a lifeless face, which is not worth anything. A good deed is beneficial only if the Almighty accepts it. No one knows whether his good deed has been accepted by Allah (S.w.T.) or it has been rejected due to lack of sincerity or piety. Therefore, like knowledge, a good deed must also be a cause for humility instead of pride and vanity. Regarding the qualities of the believers, the Almighty Allah says:
“And those who give what they give (in alms) while their hearts are full of fear that to their Lord they must return.”
(Surah Al-Mum’inÅ«n 23: 60)
