Hypocrisy and Ostentation
4:36:4 2024-10-15 608

One other shared moral quality of believers is sincerity. Believers are aware that Allah knows everything and that they will have to account in the Hereafter for all of their thoughts, speeches, and conduct in this world. They strive to earn Allah's approval and are sincere in their conduct. As they expect to be rewarded by Allah for their actions, they have no petty interests and do not behave in ways designed to impress or gain the love of other people. The Prophets' devotional behaviors, as related in the Qur'an, are examples for believers to follow. Good news awaits His sincere servants, for "Those who shun the worship of false deities and turn toward Allah will have good news" (Qur'an, 39:17). Other verses deal with those who show off to attract other people's notice, such as:

O you who believe! Do not nullify your charity by demands for gratitude or insulting words, like him who spends his wealth, showing off to people and not believing in Allah and the Last Day. His likeness is that of a smooth rock coated with soil, which, when heavy rain falls on it, is left stripped bare. They have no power over anything they have earned. Allah does not guide disbelieving people. (Qur'an, 2:264) So woe to those who perform prayer and are forgetful of their prayer, those who show off. (Qur'an, 107:4-6)
