Question: How do I protect myself from ostentation and insincerity in my actions and deeds?

Answer: Sayyidina Abu Musa al Ash’ary RA narrated that one day the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said; ‘O people! Fear polytheism, for, it is more concealed than the crawling of an ant.’ Someone asked; ‘O Messenger of Allah, how do we protect ourselves when it is more concealed than the crawling of an ant.’ Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said; “Read the following:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَنْ نُشْرِكَ بِكَ شَيْئًا نَعْلَمُهُ ، وَنَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا لَا نَعْلَمُهُ " 

“O Allah! We seek refuge in you lest we associate with you anything knowingly. And we seek your forgiveness for that what we do not know.” (Ahmed)

The above Dua is to be recited three times daily. 

And Allah Knows Best
