00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.769
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.769 --> 00:00:13.339
The distinction between self-admiration and rejoicing in a good deed.

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.

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.

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.

00:00:31.339 --> 00:00:34.340
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

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."

00:00:40.340 --> 00:00:44.340
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi and authenticated by al-Albani.

00:00:44.340 --> 00:00:46.409
As for self-admiration,

00:00:46.409 --> 00:00:50.409
it is when a person looks only to himself and becomes deluded by his own ego.

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.
