Don’t Brag About Your Achievements

Sincere people, don’t make noise about their achievements … the fact that God knows is sufficient.

Ibn Masoud said:
‎المخلص لربه، كالماشي على الرمل
لا تسمع خطواته ، ولكن ترى آثاره
‘𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗱, 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝘁𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀.’
[‘Jami’ al-Uloom’, 302].

It is also said: ‘Empty cans make the most noise’… and: ‘Silent waters run deep.’
