"The sins that you do in private kill the heart more that the sins that you do in public , because it means that you value the eyes of people more than you value the sight of Allah. You are more worried about people catching you sinnin that Allah seeing you"
SOURCE: Ibn Qudamah (Rahimahu Allah) in Sidratu al muntaha.
"Then We caused Our chosen servants to inherit the Book. Among them are self-oppressors , among them are frugal ones and from them are thus who rush forth to perform good deeds , by the Permission of Allah" (35,32)
There are three main types of believers:
- Saabiqoon ilal-khayraat (those who rush to do good deeds): Those who rush to do good deeds are those who perform both the obligatory and recommended deeds , while avoiding both the prohibited and disliked affairs.
- Muqtasidoon (those who are frugal and selective): The frugal ones are those who restrict themselves to performing only those deeds that are obligatory , while avoiding only the prohibited affairs, (meaning that they fall into dislike affairs and they leave off recommended deeds).
- Thaalimon li Anfusihim (those who oppress themselves): Those who oppress themselves are those who mix good deeds with the bad ones. ( meaning that they fall into prohibited affairs and leave off obligations.)
