📌 Showing off
Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:
“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 God of some good act done, spoils it. Flaunting one's charity, virtue, generosity, personal virtue or liberality towards one's family, ruins these deeds, as Allāh has said:
'O you who believe, do not render your almsgiving vain by reminders of your generosity or by injury.'
[The Invocation of God | Pg. 6]

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:
It is said,
'Patience is that intellect and religion stand firm when faced with lusts and desires.'
The meaning of this is that human nature runs after that which it loves, but intellect and religion prevent it. As such the two are at continuous war with each other, and this war has its ups and downs. The battlefield is the heart, patience, courage and firmness.
