Actions That Annul Good Deeds: Ostentation and Boasting in Islam

How Ostentation and Boasting Can Nullify Good Deeds in Islam

ACTIONS THAT ANNULS GOOD DEEDS

“Ostentation, however little, annuls good deeds and (enters by any one of) countless doors. An action incompatible with the observance of the Sunnah is another thing that renders them vain.

Boasting in one’s heart to ALLĀH of some good act done, spoils it. Flaunting one’s charity, virtue, generosity, personal virtue of liberality towards one’s family, ruins these deeds, as ALLĀH  has said:

_یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تُبۡطِلُوا۟ صَدَقَـٰتِكُم بِٱلۡمَنِّ وَٱلۡأَذَىٰ_

_'O you who believe, do not render your almsgiving vain by reminders of your generosity or by injury._'"(2:264)

{The Invocation of God || Page 6}
