00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,769
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:08,769 --> 00:00:13,339
The distinction between self-admiration and rejoicing in a good deed.

3
00:00:13,339 --> 00:00:19,339
One must not confuse rejoicing in one’s good deeds and acts of obedience with being conceited about them.

4
00:00:19,339 --> 00:00:26,339
For the believer’s joy in a good deed is merely joy in Allah’s granting of success to perform it.

5
00:00:26,339 --> 00:00:31,339
It is also a sense of optimism regarding its reward and a hope for it from Allah.

6
00:00:31,339 --> 00:00:34,340
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

7
00:00:34,340 --> 00:00:40,340
"Whoever is gladdened by his good deed and saddened by his evil deed, that is the believer."

8
00:00:40,340 --> 00:00:44,340
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi and authenticated by al-Albani.

9
00:00:44,340 --> 00:00:46,409
As for self-admiration,

10
00:00:46,409 --> 00:00:50,409
it is when a person looks only to himself and becomes deluded by his own ego.

11
00:00:50,409 --> 00:00:55,409
He prides himself on his good deed, believing that he himself deserves the credit for having performed it.
