Don’t Be Dazzled

Shaikh ’Uthaimeen, may Allaah have mercy on him, said, “When you do something [good] don’t be amazed at it and say, ‘Now I’m safe from the Fire and deserve Paradise,’ because Allaah said, ‘… those expect the Mercy of Allaah …’ [2:218] so they do these important actions yet despite that their hearts are full of hope, i.e., they rely on the strength of their hope in Allaah, not on their deeds. That is why Allaah, the Most High, said, ‘And they who give what they give while their hearts are fearful because they will be returning to their Lord,’ [23:60] i.e., fearful that it will not be accepted from them.”
