Do not be allured by your good efforts..

Sheikh Saaleh Ibn Fauzaan, may Allaah preserve him, said,

‘Do not be allured by the good efforts you have been able to put forth, rather it is for you to continue to produce good actions, and hope that Allaah makes you from among those who are ultimately successful.”’

(From Sharh al-Manthumatul- Haa’eyah, pg. 57) ¹
