The Most Beautiful Deeds Are the Ones No One Sees...


Az-Zubayr ibn al-‘Awwām (may Allāh be pleased with him) — one of the ten promised Paradise — once said:


“Whosoever is able to have a hidden good deed (between him and Allāh), then let him do so!”
Musnad ibn al-Ja’d, 113. Az-Zuhd li Abī Dāwūd, 119.

SubḥānAllāh… In a world obsessed with likes, shares, and recognition, the Salaf would hide their good deeds like we hide our sins.


They feared that even a single glance of praise from people would steal their reward from Allāh.


They knew:


A hidden tear.


A secret duʿāʾ.


A night prayer no one hears but Allāh.


A donation known to no one but Him.


These are the most sincere, the most pure, and the most beloved deeds to the Lord of the Worlds.


Be honest — how many of our “good deeds” are truly for Him? Or are they just polished and performed for people?


Remember: your īmān grows not by what the world sees — but by what you keep between you and Allāh alone.


Start today: plant a hidden deed. Water it with sincerity. And don’t tell a single soul.


May Allāh grant us the tawfīq to love the secret moments with Him more than the spotlight of the world.
