Glad tidings are for the face that God saw weeping out of fear of God over a sin of which no one knew except Him.
There are four signs of an ostentatious person: 1. When someone else is with them, they are very enthusiastic in working for God, 2. When they are alone, they are lazy, 3.

Indeed, God does not accept a prayer from a heedless heart, so whenever you pray, turn to Him with your heart. Then be certain of its acceptance!
The best charity is that which is not followed by reminders of generosity.
