Wasted Mountains of Tihaamah
The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “People will come on the Day of Judgement with good deeds like the mountains of Tihaamah and Allah will make their deeds like scattered dust.” The Companions asked: “Will they not be Muslims?” He replied: “Of course! They will have prayed as you pray, they will have fasted as you fast, they will have spent in charity from their excess wealth and will have given their portion of the night (Tahajjud). However, when they were alone they would violate the Sanctuary of Allah (i.e. trespass into what is unlawful).” [Ibn Majah]
Good deeds should be done only for Allah, otherwise why should Allah reward them if they are done not for Him but for people’s acclaim? It is a sign of a hypocrite that he shows off. His actions are done for the sake of people and reputation. He would behave differently if people were not to be witnessing his good deeds.
We ask Allah to purify us from showing off and from seeking fame. This is the most dangerous of diseases because when a servant is inflicted with them, they corrupt all his actions.
